Notorious picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie, Notorious B.I.G. is a little boy sitting on his porch writing rhymes on his notebook and he is left-handed. Later in the movie, when Notorious B.I.G. is an adult, he is right-handed.

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus picture

Other mistake: In the scene with the plane that is attacked by the mega shark and subsequently crashes, the camera focuses on one character in particular- a man who states he is "getting married in a few days". It is assumed when the plane crashes that everyone on board dies, yet in the very next scene this man walks behind Deborah Gibson's character as an extra.

G-Force picture

Other mistake: If you watch very closely at the end, when Hurley is found beneath the rubble, Blaster lets go of the heavy steel box that was on top of Hurley before Darwin actually pulls Hurley free, so Hurley should have really been dead.

Race to Witch Mountain picture

Other mistake: On the desert road with the 3 black SUVs coming from behind, Jack says he will let them pass. As he slows down, a shot of the speedometer is shown, where you can see the gear indicator is in neutral.

All About Steve picture

Other mistake: The camera shots that Steve takes during the storm are far too steady given how much we see him moving the camera, almost as if it was on a tripod. The problem is that Steve is holding the camera and we can see how much it moves during the ground collapse footage he takes when the kids are being rescued.

Invictus picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Madiba reads in the newspaper about the Springbok coach and manager being fired, the article's heading reads "Springbok coach and manager axed" but the article itself is actually about the South African and England cricket teams.

Star Trek picture

Other mistake: When the Kelvin is about to impact Nero's ship, the countdown, in seconds, goes from xx.00 to xx.30. Meaning the fraction of the seconds start at .30 when they should start at .99.

Bride Wars picture

Other mistake: When the girls go meet Mrs St Claire and schedule their dates as they are leaving they tell the other bride walking in that there is 1 date left available in June at the Plaza. Mrs. St. Claire would've told that bride the last remaining date was June 6th. Therefore, if Angela messed up the bookings hen the other bride would've already thought her date was in June 6th, and then she would not have disagreed to changing the date, because she'd be changing it to the date she originally thought she had.

Up (2009)

Up picture

Other mistake: The Spanish version has all the titles and signs changed to Spanish text as we can see when Carl opens the photo album. However, a side angle shows the letters 'O' and 'D' revealing it's the original English text, "Things To do."

The Road picture

Other mistake: As Viggo Mortensen narrates, it's been years since every crop and animal has died. Trees have been dead so long they're rotting where they stand and falling over with a stiff wind or slight tremor. Yet, in the woods, there are always fallen leaves on the ground which ought to have long ago decomposed, rain or no rain. Obviously, they can't sweep out the whole forest to make a movie.

The Time Traveler's Wife picture

Other mistake: Shortly after the start of the movie, when Eric Bana's character reappears in the library and starts to put his clothes back on, his pants are already undone. If he had suddenly vanished from the library, then his pants should not be undone (unless, of course, he was up to no good just as he vanished).

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus picture

Other mistake: When Anton is swinging below the bridge to rescue Tony from his hanging, he bumps into him. At that moment, Heath Ledger opens his eyes, breaking character for a split second.

Up in the Air picture

Other mistake: When Ryan and Alex are first together in the hotel room, there is a gratuitous nude view of her getting on the bed. The body double used for this couldn't be more than 21, and her appearance is quite at odds with the character, who is pushing 40.

Suggested correction: This is pure opinion. Yes, it has been said that a body double was used in this scene. But within the world of the movie, there's no reason that can't be Alex. She reveals later that she's 34, and many women look absolutely splendid at that age. We see her partially nude in the very next shot, with no big discrepancy from what we saw from behind. It wasn't until after several viewings of this movie that I found out that this was a double, and even now that I know, it's still not obvious at all.

Lies & Illusions picture

Other mistake: When Wes is running from the bad guys he hides in a St Patrick's day parade. No buildings that they pass have any St Patrick's day decorations or give any hint of this holiday, including the Irish bar they go into earlier.
