The Good Dinosaur picture

Continuity mistake: Spot finds four other humanlike creatures and goes to them. Arlo is standing several feet in front of them. He begins to push some dirt by using his nose. A close-up then shows him using his nose to draw a circle around the five others but he is standing much too far away to be able to do this.

In the Heart of the Sea picture

Factual error: Herman Melville interviews whaling survivor Thomas Nickerson in Feb. 1850. Nickerson tells him "I heard a man from Pennsylvania drilled a hole in the ground recently and found oil." Oil was discovered in Titusville PA in 1859.

Dragon Blade picture

Factual error: Near the end, Jackie Chan's vastly-outnumbered forces resort to throwing stones to somehow utterly destroy a phalanx of Roman legionnaires in close-quarter combat. This scene flies in the face of what we know about Roman military superiority in the time of Tiberius. The Roman Army was the best-trained, best-organized, best-equipped military force of the Ancient World, specializing in tireless close-quarter combat and impenetrable defense. To suggest that Jackie Chan's frantic and disorganized group of fighters (throwing stones by hand) might overcome Roman legionnaires is like suggesting that cave men might overcome the modern U.S. Marine Corps.

Jupiter Ascending picture

Character mistake: The poster on the wall near the start reads "Our Egg Donor's [sic.] are helping to fulfill the dreams of women across America." There is an unnecessary apostrophe in the word "Donor's." (00:10:05)

Don Verdean picture

Continuity mistake: Verdean's team gets interrupted by the Israeli police while they are excavating in the Holy Land. There are two shovels sticking out from the ground next to the digging spot. Before the arrival of the police car, Boaz is leaning against the shovel that is further from the hole, but as soon as Verdean starts quoting the Scriptures, he is leaning on the closer one. (00:33:00)

The Walk picture

Factual error: When Philippe Petit and his friends leave the Chinese restaurant after celebrating his walk, the subway station behind them shows signs for the J, M and Z trains. The scene takes place in 1974, but the Z train did not exist until 1988.

Microbe & Gasoline picture

Continuity mistake: Théo shows up in class unannounced. The teacher tells him to sit next to "that girl", mistaking Daniel for one. The classmates of course have a cackle at that; the girl at the desk behind Daniel's laughs holding a pen in her left hand at first, right hand at the cut. (00:08:50)

Hitman: Agent 47 picture

Factual error: In the fighting scene in U-Bahnhof Alexanderplatz the underground trains move much faster than in real world. Alexanderplatz is a railhead station. The trains would either crash into a wall or would not have enough room to accelerate that fast.

Queen of the Desert picture

Factual error: The timeline is completely wrong. The film begins in 1902, at which point Gertrude Bell has just left Oxford and is about to go to Persia. In fact, Bell was 34 in 1902 and went to Persia ten years earlier, in 1892. By 1902 she had already been travelling for a decade.

The Ridiculous 6 picture

Continuity mistake: During the saloon heist, Luke Wilson comes in to distracts Harvey Keitel. Danny pulls out a roll of banknotes to buy "some real scotch from Scotchland"; one of the girls poured a drink to Smiley and put the bottle down, but the bottle in a following shot is in a different position. (00:50:50)

Vice picture

Continuity mistake: The drawing of the church Kelly shows is different than the one she started to draw, even if she erased lines. The whole thing is shifted over to the right and both top lines go from angling towards the horizon to one being straight.

Lost & Found picture

Continuity mistake: When the boys are about to enter the woods and they arrive on their bikes, the younger boy can be seen first on his bike, then standing next to his bike in the next shot, then on his bike, then he's off it again where he lets it fall onto its side.

Admiral picture

Factual error: At the beginning of the movie, the Battle of Scheveveningen (1653) is depicted. However some of the British ships sport a gaff-rigged mizzen spanker, which was not introduced until late in the next century.

Pan picture

Continuity mistake: When Peter Pan is fighting the tribe's Pan on the trampoline and they're just about to finish Peter Pan off, the elder chief calls for the fight to stop. Peter's arms are above him in the overhead shot but are outstretched in the view from behind Peter.
