Still MORE Movie and TV Tropes That Bug Me

You can’t unsee them when you know

Technically, these would not be considered tropes, but rather continuity errors that were left in by editors who probably figured no one would catch them.

They tend to jump out at me, because I have editing experience and notice this kind of stuff.

This one is fairly recent. Notice the sudden change in the whipped cream level in the milkshake that was never touched by anyone in that scene above. Not only is it a waste of a perfectly good confection as they leave, but it looks like the topping is suddenly transported to another dimension in nanoseconds.

This tends to happen a lot in cinema due to sloppy continuity editors, whose job is to make sure things like this don’t happen.
