** The movie ''Film/TheMarvels'' is set after "Series/SecretInvasion", but cheerfully disregards or outright contradicts pretty much all of its plot points. In particular: There's an established Skrull colony on another planet which Carol calls home - making the series' entire plot of "The Skrulls are disenchanted with Fury and Captain Marvel for not finding them another planet to colonize" nonsensical. Fury's wife, who in the series specifically followed him into space in order to help with the peace talks, isn't mentioned or seen on either S.A.B.E.R. or the Skrull colony. G'iah, who according to the series has Captain Marvel's powers amongst others, isn't mentioned in the movie and doesn't become entangled with the others through her powers. Valkyrie shows up in the movie to take the Skrulls to safety on Earth, even though by the end of the series, Earth should no longer have been safe for either Skrulls or Asgardians. The Skrulls in the movie are also characterised the way they were in Captain Marvel's first movie, as noble and blameless refugees, disregarding their characterisation from the series.

** In ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'', Godzilla emerges from the iceberg he was trapped in during ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain.'' However, ''Raids Again'' was localized in America as a standalone monster flick called ''Gigantis The Fire Monster,'' so the dub for ''King Kong vs. Godzilla'' had to pretend that Godzilla had been trapped in the ice for millions of years and was just now getting out. However, everyone still knows about Godzilla and references him as though he's attacked before, due to the rest of the dialogue not being changed. As a result it's unclear as to whether the [[Film/{{Gojira}} original film]] happened or not in this continuity (and it's worth mentioning that the [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters1956 American version]] of the original already established a different continuity than its Japanese counterpart, introducing a new character)

** One is the name of the titular cyborg's superior officer, Sgt. Reed: in [[Film/RoboCop1987 in the first movie]], his first name is given in one scene as "John", but in the second, he's referred to by Murphy (following his reprogramming by Dr. Faxx) as "Warren". And it can't be chalked up to Murphy going crazy thanks to Faxx like his screwing up of old sayings was, as the comic adaptation of Creator/FrankMiller's original script for ''3'', ''[[ComicBook/FrankMillersRoboCop RoboCop RoboCop: Last Stand]]'' confirms that "Warren" was intended to be Reed's name as he was addressed there as "Sgt. Warren Reed" with his only rebuttal being he's no longer a cop.

Though given that was also when Murphy was going crazy thanks to Faxx and screwing up old sayings, it's also possible he just called Reed the wrong name.

This is a mistake in a particular movie, not continuity being shifted over time.


* ''Film/TicklesTheClown'': In one scene, it's stated that Tickles the Clown has been in prison for two years serving his sentence. About a scene or two later, people say he's been in prison for three years.

Disqualified; remnants are at times referred to as "Covies/Covenant."


* In ''Film/HaloNightfall'', one of the given reasons for going to the Alpha Shard is to find proof that "the Covenant's broken the treaty". The issue is not only that the Covenant has long been split into multiple opposing factions by this point, but that a number of these factions are already openly vocal about their hostility to humanity: the entire plot of ''VideoGame/HaloSpartanAssault'' was about a Covenant remnant attack on a UNSC colony that happened about two years ''before Nightfall''.

** In the first movie and ''Film/RoboCop3'', the policeprecinct where Murphy, Lewis, and Reed work at is called "Metro West". But in the second film, ''[=MediaBreak=]'' calls it "Metro North".

Just a series continuity error


* The ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series has a huge one in part V (which takes place after Jason Voorhees gets killed but before he becomes undead). Some murders are happening and Tommy Jarvis (who killed Jason as a kid in the previous movie) is afraid Jason has come back from the dead. At one point the Mayor tells him Jason was cremated and he's "nothing but a handful of ash". This would be contradicted in the ''very next film'' where Tommy goes to Jason's grave, digs him up, and rams a metal rod through his heart in order to destroy him forever, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero only for lightning to strike that exact spot and reanimate Jason as an undead.]] This can perhaps be HandWaved by saying the Mayor was lying to make Tommy feel better, but that doesn't answer how he found out Jason was really buried and where his grave was. Later films would basically just cover this error up by never mentioning it.
