Continuity in cinema is about making sure that people and things don't jump around in time (temporal continuity) or space (spatial continuity). For example if there's a scene of a conversation between two characters, one of whom is smoking a cigarette, and the camera is cutting from one to the other as they speak, the length of the cigarette shouldn't get longer at any point. Each time the camera cuts to the smoker, their cigarette should be the same length or shorter than it was last time. There are examples, where a scene has been filmed over several takes, where cigarettes grow magically longer, then shorter, then longer again. This is an example of temporal discontinuity.
An example of spatial discontinuity can be seen in the movie Fargo, in the scene where Jerry is talking to Carl and Gaear in the bar. If you look closely you will see that the glasses and bottles on the table move around between shots.
