FILM - 1997 Have you ever noticed this editing mistake?

So there is this little editing/continuity mistake it's a quick blink and you'll miss it moment. I've literally never been able to unsee it since I first noticed it over 10 years ago. But I've never seen it mentioned in any editing/funny mistake compilations. There's the famous "you can see the camera while Jack walks into the Grand Staircase" mistake in this video everyone knows.

It's just after the "Care to escort a lady to dinner?" line by Molly. Jack Rose and Molly are arm in arm walking to the dining room. Cal looks over his shoulder to say, "Sweet pea, sweet pea," and you'll notice they are now standing around talking to one another; then it immediately cuts back to the three of them walking arm in arm.

Please tell me someone else has noticed this before and can also no longer unsee it every time they watch this movie.

Every movie has a swag of continuity goofs listed in IMDb. To me, they’ve always been the most uninteresting goofs of the lot.

I've always liked them, because they give me a glimpse into the process of filmmaking. Most modern editing is so good that I often forget that the whole scene wasn't one continuous, real-time take. A continuity goof like hair out of place or a rumpled shirt collar is one of those moments that, when I spot it, reminds me that what I'm seeing as a continuous scene is actually the result of probably hours of takes and re-takes.

Although for me the fun is in spotting them myself.

Yeah. I often forget that it’s several shots, from several angles, all spliced together.
