Lovers: Piccolo Film Sull'amore picture

Continuity mistake: In the first episode, the cold Federico is shaken by the first approach with the bookstore owner Giulia. When he comes back inside the store, the woman is leaning against the corner of table when the camera is in front of her, she isn't in the shots from the back of the store. (00:04:30)

Indian Horse picture

Continuity mistake: The size/length of the canoe changes a few times. At the beginning of Saul and Naomi's trip, the canoe is shorter than it is the following day; there's more space in front of Saul and behind Naomi, although it is assumed they are sitting on stationary benches. As they continue on the river, the canoe gets shorter again. (00:11:40 - 00:12:10)

Small Town Crime picture

Other mistake: The private investigator has a full size Glock. The Glock 21 which is a .45 ACP has the lowest magazine capacity of 13 rounds. The 9mm capacity for the Glock 17 is 17 rounds. The PI exchanges gun fire and after he fires 7 rounds, his gun runs dry. Makes no sense to bring a half empty gun to a fight, plus he just got it back from his brother-in-law. (01:05:00 - 01:06:00)

The Man Who Invented Christmas picture

Factual error: In the beginning of the movie, during Dickens' visit to America, you can hear them playing the melody from the song "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy" written by George M. Cohan in 1904. This was 61 years after the events in the movie. In the ending credits they cite this as "Yankee Doodle Dandy" which was written many years before. But, that was not the melody that was being played.
