The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: After Hastings reminds him of the mantelpiece, Poirot shouts "Mon Dieu!" and pounds the table. The cards scattered on the table differ in disposition between shots when he stands. (01:21:05)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Hastings spots Poirot from the window as he arrives for the denouement, his hand is in a different position on the window frame (left or right of the vertical bar). (01:26:55)
11th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Cross enters the interrogation room, with Dr. Sachs detained. He's carrying a cup of coffee and a file. He puts the coffee on the table, and in the next shot you can see already on the table the file that he never put down and is in fact still in his possession in the shot that follows. (01:21:05)
11th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Dr. Werner Ernst is talking with nurse Stella as he has his cup of hot liquid. She asks him "Is the world really that shallow?" James Spader is holding the cup from the top without using the handle, but in the next shot he is holding it from the side instead as he puts it down on the desk. (00:04:35)
11th Oct 2019
Other mistake: The "Young Man's Diary" the protagonist reads in the prison cell contains a major inconsistency - it is dated October 10th, saying the escape will happen at 11 PM, but other diary entries such as Janitor Andy's and Commander Vincent's contradict it saying the escape happened "the night before" on their October 10th entry. It also has a strange name ("Fellipe", quite unlikely spelling of his prison mate's name) and a typo ("Unit B will use a rope climb down", missing "to" or "and").

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: At the hearings, the doctor is on the stand and says "There was no strychnine in it." Mr. Wells closes his fountain pen. But then in the next shot he holds it in his hand. (00:52:40)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Poirot locks the document case in a close-up. The shadow on the case is at the center of the object, but in the wider shot it is projected entirely on the left side. (00:38:15)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Inglethorp's death happens with her having a much messier hair and the neck tilted to an angle in the wider shot, compared to the close-up on Gillian Barge. (00:30:00)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Hastings tries the fake beard on, it sticks past his fingertips more in the shots from behind than on the front. (01:09:15)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: The larger broken porcelain pieces Poirot is examining in front of the fireplace change place between shots. (00:39:45)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Hastings has just met the Ingelthorps, and now is outside so John Cavendish can introduce his wife. In the wide shot it's evident that John lowers his arm, but in the closer view his arm is still held up high before Mary speaks. (00:08:10)
11th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Belson releases the mooring line to take off with the boat, and we see the rope slip away in close-up. Too bad that in the shot that follows the ignition, the boat is still moored, or at least the line is still in place. (00:55:35)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: The first time Mrs. Ingelthorp is shown, she is holding a pen. In the second shot she is holding it in her right hand, while in the third she has the lid of the pen in the right hand and the pen itself in the left. (00:07:30)
11th Oct 2019
Other mistake: Freeze's hideout is in an abandoned oil rig, with its tanks full to the brim of oil. You'd think the company owning it would have drained the millions of dollars' worth of content first, before 'abandoning' it.
11th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: After beating the two robbers up, Batman and Robin dump them in a pile of trash on the sidewalk. That pile of trash was not there when the car turned the corner and crashed in front of the grocery store. (00:10:35)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Hastings receives the messages that he is wanted by someone outside the movie room; you can see the person sitting next to him turn towards him in the first shot, and re-turn towards him in the following. (00:02:25)
11th Oct 2019
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Everyone is silent at dinner after Miss Howard left, but Mr. Inglethorp keeps a healthy appetite. As he eats, look at his plate; the shadows cast on it switch side depending on the camera angle. (00:18:40)
11th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: When Dick gets slapped away from Freeze by the bear, he sits up; in the background there's one of the many dudes in red tie and cream colors, but the man was not there a moment earlier. (00:24:25)
11th Oct 2019
11th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: Felons get up from their prison bunks to cheer Batman's opponent. The two guys Batman lands in front of are holding their hands on the bars in a different way between the two shots. (01:05:55)
