A Wish for Christmas picture

Continuity mistake: Dad's fiancée places the photo album on her lap and holds the Christmas dance tickets between both hands. She has no free hands to move the album, but the album is on the coffee table. No one touches the album, but it is at a different angle on the coffee table. (00:09:28 - 00:10:10)

TwoTwo picture

Continuity mistake: Victor slams the door to the electrical panel box on his left and its right side tilts, but - in an instant - it is upright and the electrical box to his right is tilted instead. Victor doesn't close the door to the box on his left, but it is suddenly closed. (00:38:40)

Horse Camp: A Treasure Tail picture

Revealing mistake: The "horse" in the stall on the left has to be fake. With the exception of a barely visible half-blink, it does not move the slightest when the girl (while handling the reins) walks around its head, and a couple of girls are touching (pretending to be removing) the saddle. (00:29:25)

Die Hart picture

Continuity mistake: The "action star dummy 'lil Kevin Hart" is in a different position on the chair each time it is shown. The dummy is slouched in various positions or upright, and the "FBI" lapel letters are partially or fully visible. While Ron Wilcox (John Travolta) is next to the dummy, there's no indication that he is moving it. (00:15:06)

Totally Killer picture

Continuity mistake: The yellow box, blue mailbox, and blue SUV along the kerb are at different distances behind Chris, with all further away when he turns around to "move on to the next crime scene." (00:01:45 - 00:02:30)

Jawan picture

Other mistake: Halfway through the film, a cityscape with the subtitle "Russia" is shown - the city is, in fact, Atlanta. Skyscrapers such as the SunTree Plaza, Westin Peachtree Plaza, and the Georgia-Pacific Tower are visible. (01:24:00)

Breakout picture

Continuity mistake: After Tweed gets shot, his head leans against the front passenger side window. There is only a quick glimpse inside after Vincent gets out of the car and leaves the driver's door open, but Tweed is not visible in the passenger seat. (00:02:50 - 00:03:43)

Cobweb picture

Plot hole: Peter's sister has the strength to rip people apart with her bare hands, but somehow wasn't able to break down doors while pursuing Peter or Ms. Devine, or even break down the walls she was imprisoned behind (Ms. Devine broke apart one of those walls with a fireplace poker).

Evil Dead Rise picture

Continuity mistake: When the older sister impales herself on the broom handle, her head changed from next to her little sister's hands, at the base, to halfway up the staff with almost a foot of distance between her head and her sister's hands.

Ripper's Revenge picture

Continuity mistake: Wingate pours two whisky glasses almost half-full. He pushes one glass across the table to Stubb, and the glass has less than half as much whisky in it. Wingate's glass - now closer to him - appears to have a little more than he poured into the glass. (00:22:15)

The Devil Comes at Night picture

Continuity mistake: The trees show through the front windows of the house largely have green leaves with subtle signs of starting to transition for autumn. Panning to the back windows, the trees have a distinct, more uniform orange tint (which cannot be attributed to the sun setting behind them). Returning to the front windows, the tree foliage is more fall-like, similar to the orange foliage in the backyard. (00:00:24)

The Haunting of Julia Fields picture

Continuity mistake: Viewing from the foot of the bed, Julia's quilt/bedspread is pulled to the edge and forms a butterfly-like shape, but the side view shows three mound-like rolls. Returning to the foot of the bed, the butterfly shape of the bedspread reappears. (00:13:12)

Andy Somebody picture

Continuity mistake: Andy is walking alongside a highway and is roughly between the "End Road Work" and "Speed Limit 55" signs. There is a tall, thin sign pole on the right-front side of the screen. Andy is almost at the pole when there is a cut to Bishop breaking into and searching a house. The camera returns to Andy, who is still walking at the same pace and just reaches the pole, but he should be much further ahead. (00:30:24 - 00:32:10)

There's Something Wrong with the Children picture

Continuity mistake: The cucumber half is facing in the opposite direction after the camera shift. The flesh is toward the right of the screen, then to the left. Also, the knife Margaret set near the corner of the table next to the cucumber half disappears; it should be below her right arm when she is reaching for her drink. (00:15:17)

Sitting in Bars with Cake picture

Continuity mistake: The apple slices in the bowl near the start are arranged differently at least twice, with more being upright. (00:15:08)

Tales of the Fantastic picture

Continuity mistake: The remote-controlled truck heads towards a long, square-shaped wall (or landscape edging), about as high as the truck. As the truck gets closer, the wall becomes a partially buried long pipe. The truck more easily goes over the less-exposed round pipe. (00:07:38)

Assassin Club picture

Continuity mistake: Morgan and Sophie take far too many steps to get into the tunnel, then take many more, which take them past the man on the left, but the man is still ahead of them. After they take more steps and are past him, they are back at the tunnel entrance. (00:23:18 - 00:23:50)

Continuity mistake: Hera takes a sip of coffee, holding the Styrofoam cup in her right hand, but suddenly holds the cup - still at her mouth - in her left hand. (00:05:52)

Hank's Christmas Wish picture

Continuity mistake: Bella sits on the couch, and the two metal purse strap buckles are atop the front and back sides of her left shoulder. In alternating views, the buckles are a couple of inches lower along the front of the strap. (00:05:07 - 00:05:33)

Supercell picture

Factual error: The storm chasers are meeting by the road and you see the sign for I-90 East in the background several times. This movie takes place in and around Texas, yet the route that I-90 takes is nowhere remotely close to that far south.
