...... spot continuity errors in the cars in the same scene in films & TV.
When I watched the Fast n Loud Gas Monkey episode when they built the '68 Bullit Mustang to re-create the film chase, one of the Dodge Challengers they were chasing was a Hellcat then the jump scene was a base model with smaller silver wheels, then it went back to the Hellcat, all in the same scene.
Also, an episode of 'New Tricks' they used a Mondeo ST TDCi on Titanium X wheels, they part way down the road they were ST multispokes, then back to the original ones again. Both wheels were totally different colours.
Same with the film 'Need for Speed', when he jumps the Mustang over the jump in the middle of the road to get away from the cops, the car mid-air, has tiny narrow wheels that don't fill the wider than stock arches, then when he drives off, its back to normal.
As well as the one in the Bond film when James drives the red Mustang on 2 wheels through a narrow gap then comes out the other side on the other 2 wheels. Don't remember which film it was.
Sad really.
Or like in the movie 'The Firm' from 89 with Gary Oldman.When I watched the Fast n Loud Gas Monkey episode when they built the '68 Bullit Mustang to re-create the film chase, one of the Dodge Challengers they were chasing was a Hellcat then the jump scene was a base model with smaller silver wheels, then it went back to the Hellcat, all in the same scene.

His mate drives around in an E30 BMW, but when it gets smashed up, they have swapped a few bits around plate and indicator wise etc to try and make it look the same, but the car destroyed is actually an E21.
