Question

wardrobe seems to mess up quite often, it's funny to see the inconsistencies.

Answer 3

Have a look in the credits for whoever is credited with "continuity".  I'm not aware of a specific job title though.

Answer 4

Monitoring continuity is the job of the script supervisor. My uncle works as a script supervisor for a well known director out in Hollywood, which is how I know about the job.

Here is a description of the job from www.wisegeek.com:

A script supervisor, sometimes called a continuity script supervisor, has numerous responsibilities before, during and after a film production. A script supervisor's main duty is to document every detail surrounding movie scenes as they are filmed. This means everything from the types of lenses used in the cameras to the exact positions of the actors. A script supervisor also marks lines through the script to let the director know how many of the film's scenes have been completed, or covered in film speak.
