Sammo

Continuity mistake: Stu is slumping against the desk and says he's dying. In the closer angles you can see his left fingers are coated in blood, but in wider angles (for instance when Billy grabs the receiver off him and yells "I'm gonna rip you up, you b**ch"), the fingers are cleaner. (01:38:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Finding out that the gun is gone, Stu whines "Houston, we've got a problem here." Sid in background turns towards him instantly, but she re-turns in the next shot. (01:36:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Stu puts the voice box and the cellular phone inside the breast pocket of Sidney's father; the order is clear and visible even after Stu pushes the poor man to the ground; the white box is in front of the black phone. A minute later once they two-stooged their alibi we see again Mr. Prescott on the floor, and the two devices have swapped place in his pocket. (01:34:20 - 01:35:30)

Sammo ★

Factual error: When Jackie pulls out the unusually high amount of cash that Simon happened to have on him, you can read the banknote was issued in 1940. The movie is set in the 1930s. (02:08:40)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: During the denouement, there is a scene with the meeting between Simon and Jacqueline inside the doctor's cabin. Jackie opens the doctor's case where he keeps the surgical tools pulling it out from a drawer, and she does not place the box back in the drawer or closes it; we see the whole time she spends inside the cabin, so it'd be impossible for the doctor not to notice what happened. (02:08:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Salome Otterbourne says she knows who killed Louise Bourget with her own eyes. She waves dramatically her left hand as she says that, and lowers it. Next shot and her hand am raised again, and it's not even the left. (01:49:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the doctor arrives at the second murder scene and shouts "Killings, killings!", David Niven by the door is in pose with his arms crossed, and at the cut he has one hand on his knee and the other on the opposite hip. (01:46:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The pool of blood by the maid's sleeve extends at a different length in the different shots when they find her body. (01:45:10)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: In the original novel, the attempt on Mrs. Doyle at the temples was made rolling a boulder off a cliff. In this adaptation, the culprit is said to 'dislodge' a large stone from the temple; you can however see that the stone is already dislodged and sticks out from its place on the pillar, and he had no way to know that the Doyles would be in that particular spot, making this attempt to Linnet's life rather nonsensical (requiring also herculean strength, no pun intended). (00:47:40 - 01:39:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Race ends up putting the stained handkerchief to (his) left of the gun, but in the close-up of the table the cloth is on the derringer's right. (01:30:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Race unfurls the packaging the crew dragged up from the riverbed, the part to his left (right of the frame) immediately comes undone and lines on the table, but in the close-up it opens differently. (01:30:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The Manager Of The Karnak Mr. Choudhury excitedly shouts "goody goody gumdrops" when the crew fishes out from the river the incriminating package. He then runs across the deck to bring it to the investigators. As he does that though, you can see on the floorboards already a wet trail from a previous take. (01:29:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Sam is assaulted at the hospital the first time, Ghostface misses Sam with his knife, which gets stuck on a poster on the board. By mistake, he 'stabbed' the third column of the text on the poster, but then the knife is stuck in the first column instead, then he pulls him out from the third column again, resulting in a hole in the second column. (00:23:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During Louise's interview, look behind her as she mentions that naturally, if she "were not able to sleep..." The corner of the room (with the armchair where Poirot sits when he steals Simon's lunch) is entirely in the shade, but it's brightly lit in the rest of the scene. (01:22:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi follows the gang of rollerskating thieves in their hideout. The female leader says she has a question about his book, and hands him what he identifies as his book of short stories. He's holding it with the left hand in close-up, but in the next shot it's the right hand. (00:17:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: It's stabbing time for the two idiot killers; Stu is about to plunge his knife into Billy. Notice Matthew Lillard's necklace as he says "I'll remember"; it's above the sweater. Cut (camera cut, that is), and it's under the sweater. Next time we see it, back to a previous angle and to the necklace being above the sweater. (01:35:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Billy is taunting Sidney saying the game is called "guess how am I gonna die" he is holding the voice box in a different way between shots. (01:31:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Stu and Randy are begging Sidney at the front door accusing each other, Neve Campbell's hair is pressed against her body or on top of her right arm in different shots. (01:29:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Sidney discovers Tatum's body, we see her head intact, in particular the eye level. In her death scene, her cranium was being crushed right at the eyesocket. (01:07:25 - 01:22:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the doctor starts cleaning Simon's wound, there's barely any blood on the side, but in the next shot, from the side, there's still a lot of it. (01:04:30)
