M*A*S*H (1972)

The Countdown Reflection - S5-E24

Continuity mistake: After Howard and Bernadette are pronounced husband and wife, when they kiss the camera angle switches to an overhead shot, but as it zooms out (to a digital image) things change - such as the configuration of the rooftop, or things move - such as the cable dishes, or things even vanish - such as air-conditioning units.

Continuity mistake: After the TIE fighter crashes on Jakku, when Finn searches for Poe in the wreckage he finds Poe's jacket and grabs hold of the jacket arm, but when it cuts to the following shots as the ground starts shaking, Finn's holding the top (neck area) of the jacket, even though it never left his hand. (00:24:35)

Continuity mistake: At the Resistance base, after it's said that, "The weapon will fire in two minutes," it cuts to Rey and Finn running in the woods on the surface of Starkiller Base, and the leather cuff is now on Rey's right wrist, presumably due to it being a flipped shot. (01:50:35)

Continuity mistake: After Leia tells Han that she always hated watching him leave and he still drives her crazy, they hug and it cuts to the Starkiller Base. When we see Stormtroopers walking through the corridor and then Rey sneaking away, it's a flipped shot - note the Stormtroopers' backs, and Rey's hip bag and leather wrist cuff. (01:35:15)

Continuity mistake: After BB-8 tells Rey that the Resistance base is located in the Illenium system, while Rey is down in the hold she asks Finn for something she needs and she holds her right arm up and points, but in the shot facing Finn it's her left arm that's up pointing as she repeatedly shouts "NO!" to him, and then it's her right arm up again.

The Anderson Tapes mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Duke unlocks the gate, when the Mayflower moving truck is driven out of the lot there's a built-in tow hitch at the back of the truck, but when it pulls into the apartment building the tow hitch is gone - the back bumper is one solid piece.

The Anderson Tapes mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the Mayflower moving truck leaves the lot and picks up the crew there's no license plate on the front bumper when Tommy gets in, but when the truck crosses Broadway suddenly there's a license plate on the bumper, and then it vanishes. Additionally, when the van's stowed away in the truck it doesn't have an antenna on the hood and "256-245" is the van's license plate number, but after the heist there's an antenna and the van's plate number is "C47-618".

Continuity mistake: After Mrs. Longene eggs on Socks to kill her husband for not revealing the safe's combination to save her, it cuts to the first man on Everson's team rappelling without gloves - the gloves are in his back pocket, and in the next shot he's wearing the gloves. Then the next cop to rappel across is not Everson, but in the close-up it's Everson reacting to the rope burns on his hands as if he had just crossed.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Duke gets frustrated that Mr. Longene still hasn't given him the combination to the safe he asks for Socks, and when it cuts to Everson and his team rappelling to another building, as Everson climbs over the railing his shoes have changed to climbing boots and his badge has vanished.
