Scream 2

Continuity mistake: Debbie Salt introduces herself to Gale Weathers and asks her a question that Gale does not like, so much that she puts her hand on Joel's camera and points it away, downwards. At the cut though Joel's camera is back up. (00:20:00)

Continuity mistake: When Mickey mentions Godfather Part II, there are reaction shots on the other students who have to agree on that statement, but their positions are inconsistent between shots (for instance the girl with the blue shirt has both hands joined at first, then at distance, the girls on the background to her right are leaning towards each other at first, then not, etc). (00:17:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In her opening shot, CICI says that you can't blame violence on entertainment. Behind her, out of focus, there's a student with a beige shirt. You can see his left hand, but in the next shot he has his right arm crossed on top of it. The rest of the scene goes on with that extra's motions not matching at the cuts (he's touching his chin next time, then he isn't). (00:15:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Sidney grabs the caller ID device, the position of her fingers on it change between shots. (00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: When Maureen's boyfriend reveals not to be Maureen's boyfriend at all, the height he holds his knife at changes between shots. (00:10:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Maureen goes back to her seat and starts putting on her jacket, the dude at her side begins waving his arm super-enthusiastically making happy coos. She finishes putting her jacket on and the guy, who is still making those sounds in dub, is sitting composed. (00:07:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Maureen and Phil arrive in the theater, immediately at the beginning before the camera even gets fully in focus you can see by the door a blonde girl putting on the Ghostface hood, with her partner helping her. The camera cuts away for a second, and in the next wide shot you see her repeating the gesture. (00:01:40)

But later when they return in front of the TV to watch the news report, the remote is back on the top of the set. Also, the position of the video console which is also on top of the TV has changed, the position of the clothing on the chair next to the television has repositioned and lastly, the items on the window sill behind the TV set have completely changed.
