Call it what you will...a hobby, a quest, an anal-retentive attention to detail...but I dearly love to catch glitches between scenes on screen...where something is out of place from the previous cut, or changed completely when camera shots of the same scene are switched.

A recent episode (now playing) of Perry Mason shows a man pushing a '56 Buick hardtop tudor coupe toward a cliff with an already dead woman behind the wheel. Of course, the producer didn't want to waste a perfectly good Buick, so the shot from the bottom of the cliff showed what looked to be a '40s era 4-door sedan tumbling down the cliff wall and creating a big plume of dust on impact. (similar to the fake classic Ferrari wasted in Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

An understanding of statistics and bell shaped curves leads me to believe there must be thousands of other people that notice these kinds of things, many of them members of this board and some of those must frequent this forum on occasion. If you are in the latter category, please describe a discontinuous scene you have witnessed...just for the fun of it! :lol:
