A Bigger Splash

Continuity mistake: In the first phases of the conversation about the sleeping accommodations (hotels full, Yacht Marina etc.), Tilda Swinton's hand motions are inconsistent in the shot/reverse shot succession. For instance, she's playing with her drink using the straw, held in her right hand that turns into her left hand at the cut. (00:10:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The four tourists walk down the path once Corrado Guzzanti vacated the table. He bows to Tilda Swinton passing by. Meanwhile the sleazy manager greets a bunch of people at another table. He does it walking past a table with two women; there's a cut with no jumps in the distance he travels as he walks past them, and the woman that was simply eating is now bent to the side, going through her bag on the ground or something like that. (00:10:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The four tourists walk to the busy absconded restaurant. They look down from the ridge overlooking the tables, which is followed by a close-up of a table with 4 people. Between these two shots the napkins on the table have changed, and in the other table in the background the bottle of wine moved from being placed between two plates, to a position in front of the woman. (00:09:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As Marianne (sort of) orders a daiquiri, Penelope is leaning back deep into the chair, hands and arms off the table. Next shot she's leaning forward, arms on the table. (00:10:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Penelope is sunbathing whilst Paul is on his laptop, she is face down with her head touching the lounger, but in the next shot, her head is suddenly raised above the lounger, then back to leaning against the lounger in the next shot.
