The Parent Trap (1998)

Continuity mistake: During the punch-monkey fight, Phil Betterman lies on the floor, exhausted, with his pendant resting on the floor, next to his ribcage. In the next shot it lies by his chest. Though he could have moved it between shots, the movie implies he is so tired he is lying motionless on the floor all the time.

Continuity mistake: When Jordan is flirting with Naomi at the party a woman walks by and tells him that his wife is waiting. Naomi's left arm is raised or lowered depending on the shot.

Continuity mistake: When Santa tells Noelle he's anxious about inheriting his dad's role, the position of his arms is inconsistent between front and side shots.
