Other mistake: Throughout this, a running gag is that Fred can't drive stick/clutch. However, in "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" Series 2, Episode 6 "A Scooby-Doo Halloween," he yells at Shaggy that he's riding the clutch too hard at the beginning of the episode. If the Mystery Machine has a clutch mechanism, he would know how to drive stick/clutch.

Men in Black 3 (2012)
Question: If time travel was banned throughout the universe and they imprisoned Obadiah Price as the inventor (time 1), why didn't MIB confiscate the devices and continually make sure his son Jeffrey never has the devices or lets others use them? He has a log book and Boris the Animal's entry is more than a few pages in (time 2). (00:30:21 - 00:32:00)
Answer: They did, but the son had the knowledge in his head, so he did it in secret. The son dealt in black market devices.

Men in Black 3 (2012)
Question: Why doesn't Boris the Animal kill Jeffrey Price after he gets the Time Jump Device? He doesn't seem to have problems killing anyone else who gets in his way or helps him. (I don't think saying that if he killed Jeffrey, there's no way J can go into the past is sufficient as that's a plot device.) (00:11:25)
Answer: He may not have known about the son when he killed Obadiah in the space prison. He thought no one else had a time device. Besides, he was completely focused on his mission. He thought of nothing else.

Murder By Death (1976)
Question: What does Milo Perrier mouth to Jessica Marbles as Benson-mum spoons out the "soup" during dinner? I can't read their lips.
Answer: I think she is a lady...remember at the end when he said she was the daughter of Lionel Twain.
Answer: According to the script, she is mouthing "I think he's lying."
Answer: "I think he's lying."
Answer: No, he mouths "I think he's blind." It's right after the scene where he tests that. The Marbles character responds "who is?"

Now You See Me (2013)
Continuity mistake: At Pont des Arts in Paris when Dylan reveals his true self to Alma, the right page shown in the newspaper changes layout and stories. An earlier shot does not show a story about 12-year old Dylan while it's there in the second shot. (01:43:40 - 01:44:00)
13th Oct 2014
Now You See Me (2013)
Character mistake: The caption under Shrike's picture in the newspaper that Alma is reading, referring to the circumstances of Shrike's accidental death in a locked safe trick, reads 'Police say famed magician Lionel Shrike vigorously attempting to free himself to no avail.' It should be 'attempted', given he tried and failed, then died, so is unlikely to give it a second go.

Question: Why is the bill that Cowan grabs crumpled up when all the others are flat?
Chosen answer: Cowan crumpled up the note when he grabbed it.

Now You See Me (2013)
Continuity mistake: There's a space issue with the scenes of the safe in the truck. They show Agent Fuller coming around on the (viewer's) left side of the safe to show the Horsemen video. However, when we first see the safe in the truck, there is absolutely no way a man of Fuller's size can fit in the gap between the safe and truck wall. (01:22:35)

WarGames (1983)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Joshua is going through the possible strikes, the US strike was done first followed by USSR's strike. However, when you see the list of strikes and the results, USSR is listed before US.

Major League (1989)
Deliberate mistake: The film uses Milwaukee County stadium,instead of Cleveland Stadium, as the home of the Indians. (00:26:10)

Toothless (1997)
Revealing mistake: When Katherine is doing cartwheels, her dress stays down in relation to her feet. It doesn't ride up or flap towards her upper body.
22nd May 2005
Toothless (1997)
Plot hole: Katherine (Kirstie Alley) the tooth fairy is instructed by Rodgers (Lynn Redgrave) that she can only go out at night, otherwise she stays in an apartment in Limbo to get her assignments. She is given names all over the world. There is always a part of the world that is in nighttime. She should always be working and never at Limbo.

Other mistake: Harry (Jack Nicholson) tells Erica (Diane Keaton) that he only sees her in turtleneck tops. However, when he first meets Erica and Zoe in Erica's kitchen, she is wearing a scoop neck.

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)
Trivia: It was said that Dick Clark was hosting New Year's Eve. You also heard Dick counting down to a 2005 lighting of the ball. In actuality Dick Clark did not host the New Year's Eve Countdown in 2005 year due to being in the hospital from a stroke. Regis Philbin did. Unfair to count this as a mistake as the film was shot in 2004 (released early 2005), so they weren't to know, but worth noting.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
Revealing mistake: When Dracula goes to grab the cell bars on the window to free Reinfeld, the bars are obviously not metal as they shake and have a slight bend to them.
22nd Jun 2004
All Grown Up (2003)
River Rats - S1-E8
Trivia: In the scene in the tent where Tommy and Chuckie are talking after the ghost story, the lighting in the tent shows the sleeping bags as red, green and blue. Tommy is in the green looking sleeping bag. These colors are the Powerpuff Girls. The PowerPuff Girl in green is Buttercup, who is voiced by Elizabeth Daily, who is credited as E.G. Daily playing the voice of Tommy.

Answer: Dickens used satire, irony, and humor as a means to express social criticism and political commentary. His novels were filled with comical characters and colorful dialogue. He used a humorous writing style to expose the Industrial Revolution's harsh and negative impacts like poor education, worker exploitation, social inequality, and other societal ills such as extreme poverty, domestic violence, alcoholism, and so on. Poirot is obviously responding to that.
