Mike Bassett: England Manager picture

Factual error: On the England shirt, you can see the badge where the three lions logo should be. But it is not there. It is the badge the England Cricket team wear on the sleeves on their shirts. [I'm assuming that the FA didn't give permission for the three lions logo to be used, but it is still a mistake].

The Shipment picture

Factual error: Whenever they open the trunk of the Eldorado, it acts and sounds like there is a push button. In fact you have to use a key to unlock and open the trunk.

Visible crew/equipment: After the mother is beaten by her son (the first time we see them) and she resigns to her bedroom to check on her wounds, a boom mic can be seen coming in from the top left of the screen.

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection picture

Continuity mistake: When El Blanco is outside Burt's home, and leaves, there isn't any hole in the ground after him. Later, in the movie, when El Blanco gets underneath the earth, he leaves a big hole after him. Why wasn't it like that the first time?

Head over Heels picture

Continuity mistake: In one scene Jim and Amanda run into each other and Amanda gets knocked down onto the pavement. She also drops the coffee, which starts to spill pretty close to here head and almost reaches her hair. In the next shot, both the spilled coffee and the cup are farther away from her head.

Blow Dry picture

Other mistake: When the guy that is hosting the hair competition is looking up at the old train station display board and going through the names of the salons, The Cut Above is on there, even though they haven't entered the competition at that stage. (00:14:40)

Little Secrets picture

Continuity mistake: When Emily falls off the roof, one shot shows her falling with her back first and her legs together. Then the shot changes to her mom, and back to her, at which point her legs are further apart, she is angled more headfirst, and is still at the same height.

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no tibira picture

Continuity mistake: In Session 24, Faye gets into her aircraft and Ed all of a sudden looks down at Faye, from on top of the roof, and starts talking to her. Look at the back of Ed's shirt, it falls up and goes past her neck and rests at her head, when the camera cuts to a front view, the shirt is above the shoulder line. (00:14:20)

The Martins picture

Continuity mistake: When Robert Martin is going to kill himself and is sitting on the rock in the sea, his zip-top moves from shot to shot. You can tell this because the Playboy logo on his t-shirt is visible and then hidden as the camera moves.

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie picture

Other mistake: When Spike is strolling through the city, at some point he walks by one of those posts pointing to various directions. One of the signs is written in cyrillic characters and, below, we can read the "English" translation: Ruccian Town.

Series 7: The Contenders picture

Continuity mistake: Tony tries to escape in his UTE. The inserted footage is matched in model and color, but the inserted vehicle carries a huge towbar. It is also shown travelling on its rims, yet when Tony finally pulls to a stop, the tyres are intact.

Tortilla Soup picture

Continuity mistake: Leticia Naranjo is at the hairdresser's to talk to Yolanda. After some theological discussion the guy throws a barber gown around her neck to start working; there are at least two passersby reflected in the mirror as it happens. She refuses the hair care and stands up, but as she breaks free you can see the people in the reflection changed entirely. (00:04:15)

Amy's Orgasm picture

Continuity mistake: Janet asks the protagonist, horrified, if she had sex - since it totally would spoil her image if she did. She is holding her martini in hand but at the cut it's on the table. (00:03:10)

Au Pair II picture

Revealing mistake: Grandma handles the remote control in clumsy fashion, sending the model helicopter too close to the buffet and ruining the party. That's the idea at least; in truth, the cakes are catapulted in the air by devices placed under them. They are easy to spot because of the wrong timing, the geyser-like puffs of smoke they create, and you can even see marks at the bottom of a tray. (00:07:30)
