Trivia: 2 differences between The Bible and the Movie. 1) Aaron did not doubt Moses in the Bible. In fact Aaron did most of the speaking before Pharaoh and actually performed some of the miracles. 2) Moses murdered the Egyptian task master. He did not accidentally kill him. Pharaoh wanted to kill Moses because of this, not try to convince him to stay.

Playing Hookey - S1-E7

Plot hole: Dumb Donald chooses not to play hookey with the rest of the gang. He instead goes to school. The gang is even worried Dumb Donald may, "Rat them out" to the school. Yet throughout the episode, Dumb Donald appears/disappears with the gang as they are skipping school.

The Runt - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: As Fat Albert's gang is trying to get the football from underneath the building. A rival gang member gets stuck in the small hole. The shoe color of the fellow gang member, Kong, who pulls him out, changes from white to yellow, as he is pulling the guy out of the hole.

The Prankster - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Just after Otis makes the ghost sounds from inside the house, it shows the gang standing together outside the house. Otis is with them outside, which is impossible, as he is inside the house pretending to be the ghost.

Chosen answer: As Spongebob explained in the certain episodes he has no bones so the force of the flats punches have no effect. To be more technical there is nothing solid that Flats can punch into and hence why it has no effect. Spongebob has never really been injured and there really isn't any incidents I can recall that his "spongeness" ever came into question of being hurt or injured.

Lummie

Answer: He does have bones in some episodes.

Those episodes and scenes were probably just jokes.

Men in Black II (2002)

Question: I may have just missed it, but what happened to J's female partner, the lady who worked in the morgue, from the end of the first film?

Mark English

Chosen answer: There's one line where Zed tells J he can't keep neuralyzing partners. J replies with something like "Hey, L wanted to go back to the morgue." So he zapped her and she is back working as a coroner.

Grumpy Scot

Answer: In "Men in Black: The Series" the 1997 animated series that takes place after the second movie, L is Zed's assistant and chief scientific officer.

It should be pointed out that the series had so many various changes, it shouldn't be considered part of the film's continuity or timeline. While there are some references to events in the first film, most of the characters have slightly altered appearances and Agent K was never neuralized in the series. In the series, Agent L is also a senior staff member while J seems to remain a rookie.

Joe Dirt (2001)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film as Joe and "family" are getting into the convertible, Christopher Walkens' character starts to get into the car and has one leg fully into the car, the next shot shows him still a few feet from the car and starting to lift his leg into the car.

Trivia: Bob Barker did his own fight sequences, or at least most of them. He is reportedly a Black Belt in karate and a Red Belt in tang soo do.

Trivia: If I am correct the Yoman who gives Kirk the status report he signs on the bridge is in reality William Shatner's daughter, Melanie Shatner, who had also appeared in TOS Episode Miri as one of the children.

Trivia: The scenes with the flying dinosaurs were supposed to be in the original movie, as it was part of the book Jurassic Park, but Spielberg decided not to include this in the first movie due to budget restraints.

Mark English

Trivia: Mark Lenard, who played Spock's father, Sarek, in the original series, is the only person to play a Romulan ("Balance of Terror"), a Vulcan (Sarek), and a Klingon. He played the Klingon Captain in the final Klingon ship to be destroyed by V'Ger.

Mark English

Trivia: Kate Capshaw was so afraid to do the scene with all the bugs, that she took drugs to calm her down. They made her a little "drunk". The slowed yet sometimes hysteric reactions to the bugs, were her own real phobias.

Star Trek (1966)

Operation -- Annihilate! - S1-E30

Trivia: Don't know if its intentional or not? This is the only episode of Star Trek, (the Original Series) that I know of, where a person makes a sound after being stunned by a phaser. As Kirk and crew stun the group of men with pipes, listen carefully as the last one falls to the ground. He makes a "oh-ah" or groaning sound. After reviewing all the episodes prior and after. This is the only person who makes any kind of noise after being stunned. Maybe it was the parasite infecting his body that allowed him to do this.

Jeepers It's the Creeper - S2-E3

Other mistake: There is a scene where the gang is the home of the Bank President, just after dropping off the injured bank guard. At one point the Bank President is standing behind an end table of some kind with a lamp on it. Even though there is nothing underneath the table to block your view you cannot see the lower part of the Bank President's leg. It looks like it has been cut off.
