Change mistake type:

A brief explanation of all the mistake types:

Continuity - something changing from one shot to the next, such as costumes or things in the background.

Factual error - a historical innacuracy or "real world" mistake.

Visible crew or equipment - cameras, microphones, crew members, etc..

Plot hole - a logical flaw in the film, such as a character doing something for no other reason than to further the plot.

Revealing mistake - anything which reminds you that it's a movie, such as stunt wires being visible, or glass smashing before anyone goes through it.

Audio problem - anything related to sound, such as echoes where there shouldn't be, or speech not matching lip movements.

Character mistake - something a character wrongly states as fact, or gets wrong in some other way. Not something deliberately intended to be an inaccurate statement - this is for things which are almost certainly mistakes by the scriptwriters, but might otherwise be explained away as a mistake a real person might make.

Deliberate "mistake" - these are done deliberately for whatever reason (the barriers disappearing in "Matrix Reloaded", for example - they're removed to give us a better view, rather than due to an oversight). They're still things which change during a film, rather than trivia, but deserve their own category rather than being classed with "accidental" mistakes.

Other - anything else...

Mistake It's stated after the Yellowstone Caldera explodes that the Ash Cloud would hit Las Vegas first, then St. Louis, Chicago and so on. We see Jackson and his family land in Vegas, then the action moves to D.C., where we learn the V.P.'s chopper goes down in the ash cloud in Pittsburgh. A pyroclastic cloud that we see moves at 450mph. It would reach Vegas long before it reaches Pittsburgh. Vegas would have been long gone before Jackson and family could reach it.
