The Andy Griffith Show mistake picture

The Big House - S3-E32

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Andy walks in on Barney showing Gomer how to draw his gun, Gomer draws his gun out of the holster which sends it flying behind him, and in the closeup the bookcase glass shatters, but in the wideshot when they all turn to look the glass is still perfectly intact.

The Big House - S3-E32

Continuity mistake: When Gomer drops the gun from the roof it lands on the ground directly in front of Andy and Barney, who are standing on the sidewalk beside the courthouse, but the area where they're standing looks different between the overhead shots and closeups, and their shadows change as well. Additionally, the gun lands with its handle to the left, but in the wideshot the gun is lying the opposite way, with its handle to the right.

Xanadu (1980)

Continuity mistake: After Simpson tosses the album to Sonny, when he looks at the album cover in the closeup we see the hands holding the album have bitten down fingernails, but there are quite a few other closeups of Sonny's hands and his fingernails don't look like that. (00:10:10)

Xanadu mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Sonny appears on the stairs at the art studio note Richie's hair as he walks past him, then as soon as Sonny walks across the room and takes off his vest, Richie's hair is now longer and fuller. (00:08:30)

Continuity mistake: When Elliott's holding the Kromedge saw blade in his hands, note the position of the writing on the blade and the position of his fingers within the blade's teeth, then after he slices the index finger of his left hand there's a closeup of the blade with Elliott's blood on one of the teeth. The problem is that Elliott's index finger was actually on the blade tooth further along the blade's circumference (note the writing).

Continuity mistake: When the two government agents pull over at the bottom of the hill to cut the boys off, in the shot from inside the car we see Greg and Tyler riding their bikes over the car and zooming off, then the agent inside the car lifts his head as yet another bike lands on the car, but in the next exterior shot it's Tyler (note his black high-tops) who lands on the car's roof, knocking off the magnetic beacon light. (Elliott's conspicuously missing from these few shots).

Continuity mistake: When Mary and the boys go to the tool shed after Elliott's encounter, as Tyler and Michael kneel down to inspect the tracks on the ground, the trash can beside Tyler is partially under the table and a roll of fencing is upright behind him. However, after Michael mentions the coyote, the trash can is now to the left of the table, the roll of fencing is lying on the ground in front of the trash can, and some long-handled tools have moved as well.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After ET levitates the balls of modeling clay (which Gertie had been playing with) Elliott tells Michael "something scary" is happening, and when Elliott runs toward the shed the swings on the swing set are motionless, but in the next shot one of the swings is suddenly swinging back and forth, but in the next shot it's perfectly idle once again.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial mistake picture

Continuity mistake: While all the boys are trying to escape with ET, there are black brake levers/clamps on Michael's and Greg's bike handlebars, and brass brake levers/clamps on Tyler's and Steve's handlebars, but in some closeups this changes. For example, after Steve shouts, "Let's split up," Michael's are brass, when Tyler pulls off his balaclava his are black, and when Greg shouts, "Tell me when it's over," his are brass. Presumably bikes were switched for closeups.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Elliott is trying to lure ET into his room by leaving Reese's Pieces on the carpet, the red helmet is lying on the table with its white stripe facing the doorway and its opening facing the bunk-bed, but when ET reaches the doorway the helmet has turned itself around so it's facing the opposite way.

Zootopia (2016)

Zootopia mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Otterton walks into Chief Bogo's office, in the shots facing the door there are two screws properly placed on the light switch plate, but when Chief Bogo shuts the door after Bellwether leaves, those two screws have vanished. Additionally, the distance between the door handle and the switch plate changes as well. (00:32:00)

Finding Dory (2016)

Continuity mistake: While Hank camouflages himself as part of the yellow banister, Carol, the MLI employee, walks down the stairs with the bucket, and when she sets it down the handle falls to the side of the bucket facing away from Dory toward the staircase, but in the next shot the handle is facing the opposite way. Additionally, the bucket's distance from the floor's black-yellow caution stripes decreases between these two shots.

Finding Dory (2016)

Finding Dory mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Dory reads the word "Destiny" on the white bucket, its handle is attached over the letter "t", but when Dory forces the glass carafe to tip over, now the handle is attached over the letter "e."
