Dismissed picture

Other mistake: The courses on Lucas' grade report are not given numbers or specific titles that would distinguish them from other courses (and levels) within a department. They are listed in general categories: "American History" (a minor distinction), "Calculus", "Chemistry", "English", and "French." A cover page for one of Lucas' assignments shows he was enrolled in "English 301" - still no descriptive title, but at least discernible from "English 101" and "English 201." (00:23:00 - 00:51:54)

The Greatest Showman picture

Other mistake: When Jenny Lind is on stage singing 'Never Enough' during her American debut, she is in a very large theater with a crowded audience, and full orchestra. Obviously she would have to be miced, and have her voice amplified, for such a large space. When she is actually singing, her character's voice (or rather the dubbed voice of Loren Allred) is greatly amplified, with sound effects. But during this actual scene, there is no microphone or amplification system present. She does not have a microphone stand in front of her. There is no microphone hanging from the ceiling, or anywhere on stage that we can see. Technology was limited at that time, so she would not be using any type of cordless headset, or wireless microphone, which cannot be seen anyway. Her character's voice is obviously amplified a great deal through a microphone, which doesn't seem to exist.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul picture

Other mistake: When Rodrick and Greg bought groceries, there was one bag of "Cheez Curlz" and it ended up in the hot tub at the motel. They weren't shown buying another bag yet they had one when the pigeons "attacked."

Blade Runner 2049 picture

Other mistake: In the trailing credits, the 2nd song, "Cloud" references the word "preformed" rather than "performed". (02:41:40)

Christmas Inheritance picture

Other mistake: When Ellen gets back to the inn after fetching the homeless guy, her coat has barely any snow on it when she enters. With the kind of snowstorm shown, she should have a ton of it. Same if not worse for Jake who came in before her. He has some snow on his arms, but none on his back - and he spent his time outside packing firewood with no time to wipe clean. (00:46:20)

The Mountain Between Us picture

Other mistake: Despite the up-to-date equipment used in the movie, Kate carries an old style film camera rather than a dslr. It was obviously so that she could develop the film later to realise her 'love'. At any rate, when going through her bag, she finds a roll of 35mm film to develop, but when the film is laid out on the light table for her to examine with a loupe, the film shown there is not 35mm. I think it was 126mm.

Beauty and the Beast picture

Other mistake: During the final fight, apparently Mrs. Potts can hold dozens of liters of boiling water inside herself.

Thor: Ragnarok picture

Other mistake: When Loki gets up from being thrown during the "get help" scene, he seems too far to the left of the screen (Thor's right). Thor is still looking down to his left at the fallen guards, and in the previous shot we saw that Loki fell amongst them as he knocked them down.

The Boss Baby picture

Other mistake: When Boss Baby drools on the file at Puppy Co. he is not nearly close enough for the drool to hit the file.

Murder on the Orient Express picture

Other mistake: When Hercule Poirot is interviewing Mary outside the train, the teapot in the middle of the table has a spout (pointing directly to the right, towards Mary) but no handle on top or the opposite side, towards Poirot, where the handle should have been.

Phantom Thread picture

Other mistake: When poison is first put in the pot of tea, the first shot of breakfast shows Woodcocks sister stirring her tea which presumably is from the same pot, but she showed no sign of poisoning.

Global Meltdown picture

Other mistake: Five people are walking in the forest to find a new place to stay. One person is not carrying anything. A child is carrying a camp lantern. One man is carrying a medium size duffel pack. Of the remaining two are one leading an injured man with a bandage on his eyes. No packs. When they make camp the have a large tent, a camp stove, a pot, and a sleeping bag, even fishing poles and gear. No way would all that fit in the one bag.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri picture

Other mistake: Anne makes the Oscar Wilde joke right before Bill kills himself, but he mentions it in the suicide note, which he obviously wrote long before.

Suggested correction: He wrote 2 letters, a longer one in the dresser drawer that he had spent time writing, and one that he wrote immediately before going to kill himself, explaining what he had done. The shorter one (referencing the Oscar Wilde joke) was written that evening while his wife was asleep on the couch.

Suggested correction: What evidence is there that he didn't write the suicide not that day?

It doesn't matter if he did, the point is he definitely wrote it before the Oscar Wilde joke. Right after the joke, he goes to the barn and kills himself. Anne is still on the couch, she hears the gunshot, she gets up and finds the note.

MikeH

Anne is on the couch, then it cuts to him in the barn. He could have easily written his note between the two shots.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle picture

Other mistake: Towards the end of the movie when Spencer is riding the motorcycle to the top of the jaguar statue, he throws the grappling hook and swings on the rope. When Martha hands him the jewel as she falls, the rope he was swinging on disappears.

Freedom Fighters: The Ray picture

Other mistake: After Ray patches up his shoulder from being shot, he heads out answering a call from Jacob. As he's talking he gets hit in the neck by a sleep dart and his phone is shown. The screen still shows an incoming call, rather than one in progress. (00:38:20)

The Beyond picture

Other mistake: The Space Agency is trying to use an android mechanism (Human 2.0) to go to The Void and make first contact. Their first attempt at putting a human brain into the android fails. The solution is to make the android mechanism imprint human cells to facilitate the brain/android connection. The Agency is up against a time constraint, and someone comes up with the idea of using military Humans 2.0 to go on the voyage. Wait a minute! So now we learn there are other Humans 2.0 in existence? Wouldn't whoever made those already know how to solve the human brain/android interface? Why is the Space Agency reinventing the wheel? (00:40:55)

xXx: Return of Xander Cage picture

Other mistake: When Ruby Rose is introduced, the Italian localization does not understand the reference to the game "Call of Duty", and thus just translates the expression literally. Italians play "Call of Duty", not "Dovere." (00:33:10)

The Dark Tower picture

Other mistake: They make it clear to us that the portals are one-way gates (from origination to destination). However, the last portal is two-way.

Jigsaw picture

Other mistake: During the opening trap we see Mitch strike the blades with his chain and get yanked forward. However, despite being yanked forward he still manages to stand in line with the others which he shouldn't be able to do, as his chain was shorter due to the extra tug he received. (00:06:30)

Suggested correction: The chain is tugged by the saw blade catching it as it is going round, when it gives loose of the chain, the chain is not any shorter than the others, as the saw blade did the tug not the motor pulling the chain in.
