(Sorry if this has appeared many times before.  I'm a bit behind on my news...)

Continuity Error

Typically, there is a person working on a film who is in charge of
"continuity".  If someone's shirt becomes clean, the part in their
hair changes sides, or they dry off over a few feet, it is
continuity's fault.  It can be a Really tough job, given that movies
are, in general, not shot in sequence.
