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 Professor Harold Hill asks the mothers of River City about their sons, "Is he starting to memorize jokes from 'Captain Billy's Whiz Bang?'" While the film is set in 1912, the first issue of the pulp magazine, "Captain Billy's Whiz Bang," did not appear until 1919. "Whiz Bang" was a term coined by soldiers in World War I (commencing in 1914), which referred to a rocket that "whizzed" by and exploded with a "bang."
