Barbie picture

Factual error: Gloria's vehicle is a Chevrolet Blazer SS EV, but during the chase scene, her supposedly electric vehicle makes sounds like a normal gas engine.

Elf picture

Continuity mistake: In the very beginning, when the nun puts the baby in the crib, she puts a blanket on him he pushes it down to his feet, then the camera goes to the nun walking out of the room, and when we see the baby again the blanket is covering him again. (00:04:25)

Fast X picture

Other mistake: Dante and The Agency both have extensive photos and videos of the team's previous exploits. Trouble is that most of it is simply stills and footage from the previous movies in the franchise, often occasions when nobody was around with a camera to witness and document what was going on, certainly not at the angles we see.

Fatman picture

Continuity mistake: When Nick leaves to deliver presents he walks out the door and you hear the door close. When his wife goes after him with the flask you see him opening the very same door he's just walked out. (00:24:50)

Jurassic World Dominion picture

Factual error: The deer in the forest somehow does not hear the giant dinosaur approaching, so doesn't run away. (01:21:10)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: A different interpretation is that the deer knows the difference in the sounds - gurgling/roars of an approaching herbivore versus carnivore - so it didn't perceive it as a threat until it got unusually close (so the deer looked to see why). The dinosaur flung the deer aside, then proceeded to eat the vegetation where the deer was. It isn't likely that the dinosaur (if a carnivore) would toss aside a fresh deer meat brunch in favor of some green brush.

KeyZOid

Suggested correction: I came quite close to a deer - she almost walked into me when I turned a corner on a trail. No way she didn't hear me coming. She still looked at me for a few seconds before running away.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning picture

Continuity mistake: Ethan and Grace are in a car chase, trying to get away from Paris. The Fiat Ethan and Grace are driving makes a left turn, and you see a dark blue car parked at the corner. Paris is driving the armored vehicle and makes the same turn, but the dark blue car has disappeared. (01:07:36)

One Day picture

Factual error: During scenes set in the early Noughties (one of Dex and Emma talking on a rooftop at night, and another of Dex crossing the river on a bus), modern buildings are shown on the skyline, including the Heron Tower (2009), the tallest building in the City at the time of filming, but it didn't exist at the time the scene is set.

Oppenheimer pictureOppenheimer mistake picture

Factual error: After the successful Trinity test in 1945, people in a crowd are holding small US flags with 50 stars on them (offset rows). At the time there were only 48 states and the flag had 48 stars in even rows. The 50 star flag didn't exist until 1960, after Alaska and Hawaii were made states in 1959.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: While this is correct, an argument can be made that since the colour scenes are meant to be subjective and the black and white scenes are meant to be objective, Oppenheimer could have been unintentionally mapping the modern US flag onto this scene.

The Ritual Killer picture

Continuity mistake: After Detective Boyd shoots the man in the head, the man is lying dead on the bed with his right arm alongside his body. When Boyd sits next to the man's head, the man has his right arm over his head in an inverted "V" shape. A little later, a rear view of Boyd shows the dead man's arm back to being alongside his body. (00:08:42)

Strays picture

Factual error: When the four dogs are urinating on each other, we see all of them, including the female dog Maggie, all have their legs in the air. In reality, only male dogs lift their legs to pee; females squat.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Sorry, but some female dogs do lift a leg to pee. It isn't common, but my late Schnoodle Lucy did it several times in the eleven years I had her. It was unusual enough that I remember it vividly, and I have seen at least one other female dog do it as well. Strangely enough, I now have a male Standard Poodle who has squatted to pee at least four times in the two years I've had him, including the first night he was in my home.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie pictureThe Super Mario Bros. Movie mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: Bowser has several teeth that appear and disappear throughout the movie. The best example of this is when Mario is trying to grab the Power Star. We see Bowser snarl at Mario before he picks him up. There is a gap between his two front teeth. However, when the scene cuts from Mario's horrified face to Bowser's face, there are now extra teeth inside that gap.

Violent Night picture

Factual error: The opening states the location as Bristol, England. Santa is drinking in a pub on Shirely Street (neither the pub or the street exist in Bristol), then shortly after is shown leaving from the rooftop, on his sleigh, with multiple high rise buildings in the background. Bristol does not have high rise buildings in the main city centre, only a few blocks of flats, which all have flat roof tops, not like those depicted.
