Corrected entry: When Jon puts his hand on Bran's shoulders after the beheading, he grabs his shoulder. When the shot changes, his hand is now on Bran's back. (00:13:30)

Breaking Bad (2008)
Corrected entry: Just as the camera shows Jessie lighting his crack pipe, there is a TV playing and the screen shows a man with a razor to his hairline. Camera does an instant cut and now said razor is by his cheek. (00:37:20)
Correction: This isn't a mistake for "Breaking Bad." That's how the scene cuts in The Three Stooges short film "Hokus Pokus" (1949). What we see in "Breaking Bad" is a continuous showing of the actual shaving scene.

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: At the start when Homer leaves with Bart, Patty and Selma have their hands in their laps. As soon as they start speaking however their arms are crossed in front of their chests. (00:01:50)

Friends (1994)
The One with Two Parts: Part 1 - S1-E16
Corrected entry: The colour of Chandler's suit changes from grey to green while he's trying to fire Nina. (00:11:25)
Correction: Chandler's suit changes because he's wearing different ones over multiple days. He attempts to fire Nina, then chickens out, then tries again on another day and fails, then finally musters the courage to do so on a third attempt after his boss confronts him.
No, if you watch the scene you will see that on the second attempt the suit changes colour between camera angles. This is not because it is different days.
I just streamed it again. I don't see that the suit changes color from grey to green, but it does look different when seen from either the front or the back view. However, it looks like this is just from the set lighting. There's a strong light source coming from the left-hand side that makes Chandler's suit look lighter from the back. The front is more shadowed.
Correction: He wears the same suit throughout the scene, but the light hits it differently when he moves around the office.

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: When McGee is doing the run down on Staff Sergeant Cryer, the file on screen shows McGee's lines. (00:07:25)
Correction: It's not the actor's "lines" that are printed on that page, McGee is simply reading aloud Cryer's DOD Duty Specs.

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: When Gibbs is talking to woman who is brushing her shoes off, she is brushing her left foot. Camera goes to a close up of the foot and it's her right foot she is brushing down. (00:24:30)
Correction: These shots are not consecutive, there are two other shots in between. First there's a wide shot of Lieutenant Commander Coleman brushing off the bottom of her left shoe. Second, is a closeup of Gibbs, and third shot is a closeup of Coleman's face. Then the fourth shot is a closeup of Coleman brushing off the bottom of her right shoe. While Coleman's body is offscreen there's ample time for her to switch her crossed legs.

Breaking Bad (2008)
Corrected entry: The White family has missing posters made up for Walt. However, they fail to include a phone number for tips or information to be passed on to the family. (00:12:30)

Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
Corrected entry: When the cruise liner is heading towards the oil tanker, her speed is 17kts. When the oil taker is monitoring the cruise ship, the speed it's doing is 14kts. Alex's attempt to slow the cruise ship down failed so that won't explain the difference. (01:18:00 - 01:21:00)
Correction: This is incorrect due to how ships record speed. In fact, it is probably the most factual thing in the entire film! The Seaborn Legend records its speed using GPS like every other ship, but it will also take into account current speed and direction (speed and direction the water is moving at). Any other ships would see the same GPS data, which would show the speed lower than what it actually is. In the nautical world, this is known as "Speed Over Water VS Speed Over Ground".

Friday Night Dinner (2011)
The Sofa-Bed - S1-E1
Corrected entry: When Jackie and Martin are saying hello to the boys in the garage, Jackie's hands are constantly changing from open to closed fists between instant cuts with no time to open/close them. (00:01:40)
Correction: She does have time.
25th Jan 2020
Two and a Half Men (2003)
Frankenstein and the Horny Villagers - S2-E8
Corrected entry: In this episode it's shown that Charlie can hear Alan's adventures in the bedroom. However, Charlie's room is up 2 flights of stairs and Alan's is down a hallway away from the stairs. (00:02:45)
Correction: The number of flights doesn't equate to floors, and Alan's door may be down a hallway but the room is below Charlie's - this fact is stated in numerous of the story lines.

Fast Five (2011)
Corrected entry: Reyes is the only one able to open his vault in the police station as shown in the movie. All the cash from the cash houses are taken to the vault and we see Reyes arrive to check the money is in the vault. How did the money get in the vault if only Reyes himself can open it? To assume the vault is kept open would be ludicrous as it would defy the whole point of the vault. (00:52:30)
Correction: Reyes has all of his money taken from the safe houses to the police station, all at the same time. Yes, the vault is kept open until all the money gets there and then it is closed. There is no other way to do what Reyes wants without leaving the vault open. Bear in mind that under normal circumstances the money itself has very little actual security, because nobody else would be crazy enough to attack one of Reyes' safe houses.
While your correction is good in respect of the money being taken to the vault, my mistake was referring to the point before the heists. Reyes orders the money to be taken to the vault after the one safe house is hit. And when all the cash is being brought it, yes the vault would be kept open. But what about before the first hit on the safe house? It is extremely unlikely that the vault would have been open prior to this. So how was the vault opened to allow all the money to be brought in in the first place? If only Reyes can open it.
We don't know anything at all about the safe or its contents prior to the money being consolidated. It very well could have been completely empty and unlocked. Reyes could have unlocked the safe, left the building, and only returned once all his money was there. There just isn't enough information for this to be a plot hole. Remember, Reyes is only doing all of this because Dom burned his money. He fully trusts the cops to keep his money safe and it is fairly well established that nobody else in Rio would even attempt to steal from him.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: At the start we see a BBC News report with the presenter walking round the studio (as actually happens in the UK), However there are no camera men at any of the cameras to control them. (00:07:10)
Correction: On BBC news broadcasts in the studio the cameras are controlled remotely, so there are no camera people present.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: This film takes place just 3 years after the events of Jurassic World. However when the camera pans over the resort you can see the stadium has several trees larger than the stadium in height. Impossible to achieve in 3 years. (00:25:20)
Correction: It is explained in one of the other films, can't remember which one, think it might have been Sarah in Jurassic Park: The Lost World, that due to the herbivores only eating trees and such, they modified the soil to make stuff grow faster.

The Greatest Showman (2017)
Corrected entry: At the end the museum burns down to the ground and Barnum and Phillip decide to open up again. However once the new circus is open we see Barnum leave to see his daughter perform in the ballet. But in reality it was over 5 years from when the museum burnt down to when the circus opened. Yet his daughter is the same age.
Correction: Within the movie's storyline, the tented circus opens a short time after the building burns down, despite the fact that "in reality" it was 5 years. This film is not a historical documentary. It's a highly fictionalized story loosely based on a few real people and real events, and as such they're not obligated to be factually accurate, which is a standard accepted movie convention.
9th Mar 2011
Saw VI (2009)
Corrected entry: When Hoffman walks out of the tech office, there is no gun by the steps. When he comes back in, there is. (01:10:00)
Correction: The gun is only not visible because it is out of sight of the camera.

Only Fools and Horses (1981)
Corrected entry: In a massive thunderstorm with massive lightning strikes we see Del go outside with a metal umbrella. (00:19:00)
Correction: A character doing a stupid thing isn't a stupidity mistake, it is just the character being stupid (like using the wrong French phrases). There is no minor plot hole based on his decision.

Friends (1994)
The One After the Superbowl, part 2 - S2-E13
Corrected entry: When Chandler is walking with the door you can see he is not wearing panties but boxers. (00:19:20)
Correction: When Ross and Joey are standing in the bathroom stalls looking into Chandler's stall, since Joey is going commando Chandler offers Ross $50 for his underpants just as the shocked man walks in on them. Even though Ross initially said no to giving Chandler his underpants, we do not hear Ross decline this very generous offer. So in the next shot it's been a little while, and not only do we see that shocked man already seated continuing his meal, we can safely presume the striped boxers that Chandler's wearing actually belong to Ross, who made an easy $50 to help Chandler out.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization - S1-E9
Corrected entry: Howard explains how the signal travels to the lamp via various means and clicks to switch the lamp on. There is then a delay of around 1 second. However when he does the same thing for the stereo the sound starts instantly. (00:00:10)
Correction: Technically, when you use a network for the first time, there are many steps involved like creating a VPN, matching IP addresses, etc, hence the delay. Once you have connected and used it at least once, the go-betweens don't exist, hence there is no delay.
13th Jun 2010
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Corrected entry: When Angel is jumping the fences, you can tell by the way he is jumping that he using something to spring over the fences. (00:28:50)
Correction: Remember the scene from "Shaun of the Dead" where Shaun used a trampoline to leap over the fence? Angel could have used a trampoline on the third one, where he visibly springs on something in what could possibly be a children's backyard on a mini-trampoline, but we never see what he leaps on. The first two jumps have no indication of aid.

The King of Queens (1998)
Corrected entry: Spence asks Doug to arrange a meeting between him and Danny about possibly renting a place together. However, in the previous few episodes it is established that they are all friends already. (00:03:20)
Correction: People are often more formal when dealing with money, business, renting, etc. Spence might not have felt comfortable approaching Danny directly. Perhaps he felt that he and Danny were not as close as the rest of the guys. Spence seems to have met Danny through Doug. It would not be strange for him to present the idea to Doug first.

Correction: When watching the actual episode, in the close-up, we see Robb (not Jon) place his hand at the front of Bran's shoulder, and then we also see that Bran turns his body so that Robb's hand already moves before this close-up ends. It then dissolves into the wide shot, and at the very start of this wide shot, Robb's hand is in the same shoulder area, and then Robb stretches his arm across to the center of Bran's back as they begin to walk. The two provided screenshots (and caption "hand changes position") are not an accurate representation of the episode's onscreen continuity.
