Character mistake: Despite the obviously heavy presence of female tennis players, in the interview section every question directed at a player managing a woman does not adapt the pronoun, so it's always "He won", "his form", etc.

Phantom from Space (1953)
Continuity mistake: Lieutenant Bowers questions the survivor of the first encounter with the alien, suspecting he might have just clobbered a love rival. The telephone rings; after it happens, the sheet in front of the suspect does a 180°. (00:09:35)

Spider in the Web (2019)
Other mistake: Daniel realises that Adereth gave him his own passport. When he looks at it, notice the machine code line; it's the passport of someone born on April 30, 1963, far off from Daniel's age, and more importantly, not matching the ID's date. October 10th 1982. (00:20:30)

Martial Law (1998)
Deathfist 5: Major Crimes Unit - S2-E15
Plot hole: The whole case is solved because of astronomical coincidences, since the culprit is someone related to the actor, who is teaming up with the investigators for an entirely unrelated reason. Los Angeles is kinda too big for this sort of 'coincidence'. Moreover, had they committed the crime any other day (there was no particular reason) there would have been no connection.

The Dragon Dies Hard (1975)
Character mistake: In the fight in the Shaolin temple the Bruce Lee impersonator fights 4 monks who are supposed to attack him simultaneously, and they do, but Miss amazingly obvious openings, to the point of spending long seconds hopping around without attacking. Many martial arts movies feature as Common Mistake the main character facing multiple enemies that fight quite inefficiently, but few are this obvious when it comes to waiting a cue. (00:13:00)

Stone (2010)
Continuity mistake: When Young Jack threatens to throw his daughter out of the window, Young Madelyn promises him that she won't leave him. Pepper Binkley's hair is behind her left shoulder throughout the scene, except in the shot afterwards, when it's in front of the shoulder. (00:03:30)

The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In the first chapter of Night of the Yokai, after saving King and Ryo, Yuri talks to them about Yuri saving King and Ryo. Yes, in third person, which is not a quirk she shows in any other in-game dialogue.

Overboard! (2021)
Bug: In the "Banged up" ending that happens after you get caught murdering at least one character other than your husband, the other person is not always listed correctly - pushing Richard Carstairs overboard can lead to an article about Veronica murdering her husband and Ms. Turpentine, for instance.

The Simpsons (1989)
Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner - S11-E3
Other mistake: In the German version, the Italian cook peeved by Homer's comment on lasagna swings the cleaver at him using an Italian word ("Porcodio") which is a rather strong blasphemy, way stronger than any other expression used in original or in other localizations worldwide.

Meng long zheng dong (1975)
Other mistake: Peter Chang is billed in the opening credits as the one and only Fighting Instructors, plural.
15th Sep 2021
The Vultures (1984)
Continuity mistake: Legionnaires are being mowed down left and right by enemy fire in a Nazi ambush. One of them falls into a road construction excavation. He falls on his back, but the close-up of his feet touching the power cable shows them facing down.
12th Sep 2021
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Continuity mistake: When Harley and not-Milton join the others at the end of the movie, shadow areas appear and disappear between shots (rather obvious when King Shark asks his first "Num-num?"). (02:01:10)
11th Sep 2021
Un Grand seigneur: Les bons vivants (1965)
Continuity mistake: When the prostitute is reflected in the mirror, her kimono bares one of the shoulders. She turns, and both shoulders are covered. (00:08:55)
8th Sep 2021
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Other mistake: Despite being a deadly marksman (only a few minutes earlier in the movie he stopped a bullet directed at him shooting it off the air), Bloodsport snipes several times at the huge kaiju featuring a massive eye in the central part of its body, and never once hits it. (01:51:45)
8th Sep 2021
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Continuity mistake: When Polka-Dot Man shoots his projectiles at his giant mom, he's standing in the sun or in the shade depending on the camera angle. (01:52:45)
6th Sep 2021
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Continuity mistake: When the people in the control room wake up and find out there's "A freakin' Kaiju", the clocks are showing entirely different timezones from the previous instances, with a wild difference from one another (earlier they were a couple hours apart, now we have even 9 hours), and none of which matching the time when the action supposedly takes place (it was late morning, past 10 AM as shown by the surveillance room clock and the phone in the hands of Harley's torturer). (01:46:45)
6th Sep 2021
Xiong zhong (1982)
Continuity mistake: When "Bruce Lee" is fighting the bad guys after he catches the poker cheater, there are multiple continuity mistakes; the bad guys are knocked atop the tables in the room but they disappear and reappear from those tables between shots.
6th Sep 2021
Pledge This! (2006)
Continuity mistake: Used condoms start trickling down from a jar stuck in a tree. The woman subjected to this unusual rain looks up and one of the condoms gets on her face, over her eye. When the big bundle of condoms drops on her head, it is shown through two shots that are not at all in continuity with one another; different posture, head angle and the eye condom is gone and then back. (00:40:15)
6th Sep 2021
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Continuity mistake: When Flag collapses after his fight with Peacemaker, his hand is off the shower tray. Peacemaker then talks to Ratcatcher 2, and Flag's hand is well on the tray. (01:31:40 - 01:32:05)
