Sex and the City (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Hermione apparates herself, Harry, and Ron away from the wedding, she does not have her beaded bag, nor is it on her person when they first appear in London. After ducking into the alley, she suddenly has it in her hand. From then on, she always has it.

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Hermione jinxes Harry's face to disguise him, she removes his trademark glasses to hide his identity and shoves them into her own pocket. Harry is still without his glasses during the confrontation at Malfoy Manor where his identity remains in doubt (his glasses would give him away). However, as Wormtail (Pettigrew) is taking both Ron and Harry to the cellar, Harry's glasses are suddenly back on his face, even though Hermione was separated from the group.

Inside Man (2006)

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Jodie Foster barges in to see Christopher Plummer at the barber, she has a tote bag. She sits in an empty barber chair and places the bag on the floor before speaking to Plummer. As she rises to leave, she picks up the bag, but when the shot cuts to her just as she walked out the door, she is no longer carrying it. Both hands are clearly visible as she buttons her jacket, and the bag is not in either hand, nor is it slung over her wrist or arm. It is simply not there. This particular shot may only be visible in the theatrical and widescreen DVD versions, and not in an edited and "pan and scan" format.

Continuity mistake: At the Ministry of Magic, as Yaxley is reprimanding Ron, who is disguised as Reg Cattermole, the initial on Yaxley's Ministry tie pin changes direction. In one shot, the letter "M" is tilted to the left, and in a subsequent shot, it's slanted in the opposite direction.

The Godfather (1972)

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant, Michael, Sollozzo, and Captain McCluskey have just sat down at the table and the waiter comes over to take their order and pour wine. McCluskey asks Sollozzo what's good to order, and he recommends the veal. Before the waiter leaves the table, McCluskey is suddenly eating his dinner, even though they just arrived. By the way he is using his knife and fork, it is obvious that he is eating an entree, and not a salad or an appetizer.

Twilight (2008)

Continuity mistake: Just after showing Bella his room, Edward takes her up into the tall tree to see the view. In the close-up shot, the tree they are in has a different shape to its trunk and limbs and is actually a different tree type from the one that is shown when the scene cuts to a aerial long-shot and pans away.

Continuity mistake: Percy, Annabeth, and Grover escape in the sports car that was on display in the Lotus Club. It smashes through the casino doors and onto the street, but it emerges completely undamaged - no dents, scratches, or broken glass, whatsoever.

Continuity mistake: As the group runs into the aviary, they slam the metal doors shut, bolting them. The spinosaurus repeatedly bashes the doors from the other side. However, you can see through the small gap along the top of the doors that there is nothing that big behind them, not even a shadow is moving; there is only open space and daylight.

Continuity mistake: When the Wheelers are at Shep and Millie's house, telling them about their move to Paris, Millie reaches over to the coffee table and takes a chip from the bowl. The shot changes to a different angle, and her empty hand is now resting on the sofa, then she reaches over and takes the chip again.

Continuity mistake: When Quinn and Robin first escape the pirates just after they row back to the island, they run up a hill for quite a bit. In a later shot they are running along a path close to the seashore, but immediately following that, they are at the higher elevation again as the pirates catch up to them.

Continuity mistake: When Spalko climbs a hanging vine to escape the large, marauding ants, one jumps on her leg. As it crawls up, she smashes the squishy bug between her knees (you can hear it splatting), but there's no stain or body parts left on her very clean pants.
