Other mistake: Grace crawls across the coal car of the train, and there are several times when she is lying completely prone. In the next scene, there's not a single smudge on her face, hands or clothes.

Cocaine Bear (2023)
Other mistake: When the bear falls on Eddie, they are facing the same direction, but Eddie says that he knows the bear is a girl "Because its vagina is on my ear."

Candyman (2021)
Other mistake: At the Night Driver gallery showing, Haley is reading from a program that describes Anthony's "Say My Name" piece. The text states that Helen Lyle died from "self-emulation" instead of "self-immolation", immolation meaning death by fire.

Underwater (2020)
Other mistake: *Spoiler Alert* The strength of the underwater suits is wildly inconsistent. Rodrigo's suit almost immediately cracks and implodes, killing him. Paul's suit is easily ripped open by the creatures, also killing him, but Norah is repeatedly slammed into the sea floor by one of the creatures and her suit remains remarkably intact.

Suggested correction: It is stated by one of the survivors that one of the helmets was damaged. Rodrigo had the damaged one.
Actually, that's not completely accurate. She says something like "Faulty, I knew they were faulty." That also doesn't account for the fact that the creatures tore Paul right out of his suit, but couldn't seem to do the same with Norah.
His suit was faulty. He noticed a crack when he first picked it to put it on.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Other mistake: The Millennium Falcon crash lands on Kef Bir, leaving a long trail of destruction, supposedly because the landing gear is malfunctioning. However, the Falcon has always had vertical takeoff capability, so even if the landing struts were damaged, there would be no reason for this type of crash landing.

Suggested correction: Since so many things always break down on the ship it's possible the vertical landing capabilities were malfunctioning at that time.
However, the characters specifically mention the malfunctioning landing gear as the reason for the crash landing.
Exactly, they needed the landing gear to land but it malfunctioned, resulting in a crash.
If the vertical landing capabilities were malfunctioning then they wouldn't be able to take off, as they are the same things that help keep the Falcon level in atmosphere and control its yaw and wake in space and also what gives it vertical lift at the point of liftoff. Also, before you suggest it, how would they repair it when they can't even reach them because the ship is sitting on them and buried in sand. Also, the exit to the ship is a ramp underneath the ship, how did they get out?
I never said they had to repair it after crashing. I just said it malfunctioned at that time. Perhaps it was a software issue. As for the specifics on the Falcon's capabilities and exits, same guesswork. I'm sure you can exit the Falcon at other places than just the belly.
A plausible explanation but highly unlikely as it would be a one way trip. The damage caused by a high speed landing and a hard one at that would make the falcon unusable for space flight, the underbelly gun would be ripped off for starters and possible damage to the gunner's window as well and damage to the Hull. Same situation in the force awakens on Starkiller base and in solo. These problems are never addressed or explained but I guess this is the magic of the movies.

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
Other mistake: When Ralph "checks in" at the Game Central Station after the villains meeting, he jokingly gives his name as Lara Croft. Lara Croft was never an arcade game character, so how would Ralph know about her?

Common mistakes
Other mistake: There is always a parking space available right in front of the building where the hero/cops/protagonist needs to go.

The Karate Kid (2010)
Other mistake: In the beginning of the film, when they are showing Dre's "growth chart", it shows about 2.5 inches of growth between April 2003 and May 2003, which is not possible. And no, there is nothing in the movie that indicates he has some sort of abnormal condition that causes rapid growth.
23rd Jul 2018
Skyscraper (2018)
Other mistake: A police helicopter nearly crashes and has to veer away because of the superheated air around the building when only a few floors are on fire, but Will Sawyer and everyone else can function normally when half the building is ablaze. In fact, everyone barely breaks a sweat despite being surrounded by flames.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
Other mistake: Throughout the movie, Hank's lab in its shrunken form is constantly jostled and tossed around, but when it's restored to full size in a new location, nothing is out of place and everything still works perfectly.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Given that he has prepared the lab to be shrunken and mobilized at a moment's notice, he probably thought of this ahead of time and secured everything important in place.
Perhaps he could secure some things, but there's never so much as a computer monitor out of place.
It's a fair point. I agree that some things should definitely be out of place, but given the importance of what he is working on, he would take measures to ensure that the important things wouldn't become damaged and inoperative when the lab is being moved around. We see on at least one occasion that he has ants roaming the lab, so it's possible he trained them to ensure that the Quantum Gate and any device essential to its operation are protected at all times.
In a world in which a man becomes the size of an ant, I guess any correction could be invalidated. I this case, there are any number of reasons why everything, down to paper and pens, never moves. Maybe the ants pick them all up. Maybe gravity works differently when shrunk. This means that basically any movie that uses magic or magic type technology would never have a valid mistake.

Toy Story 2 (1999)
Other mistake: In the elevator shaft, Buzz and the other toys react to Zurg riding the top of the elevator car before he's even visible.
6th Sep 2011
Eden Lake (2008)
Other mistake: Bonnie the Rottweiler is referred to several times by her owner Brett as a female, yet it's a male dog.
9th Jun 2009
Mirrors (2008)
Other mistake: After imagining himself on fire, Ben rubs his hands all over his white shirt. Despite the fact that his hand was recently cut, there is no blood transferred to his shirt.
28th Nov 2008
Nim's Island (2008)
Other mistake: After the first storm on the island, the power goes out. Nim reconnects the solar panels, and her computer boots instantly to the exact screen she was on when the power went out, which is impossible.
27th Oct 2008
Saw V (2008)
Other mistake: When Agent Strahm first starts investigating, he uses the FBI computer to look up Seth's name. He is heard typing many more characters, very quickly, than actually show up in the 'search' field on the screen. (00:29:20)
24th Jan 2008
You Only Live Twice (1967)
Other mistake: During the Little Nellie helicopter battle scene, the same footage of enemy copters being destroyed is used three times.
17th Jan 2008
From Russia With Love (1963)
Other mistake: Monty Norman's name is misspelled Monte Norman in the credits.
5th Sep 2007
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Other mistake: When the robotic Ilya punches her way out of sick bay, the edges of the hole should be pointed outward, and there should be debris on the floor. There is no debris, and the edges are pointing inward.
17th Aug 2007
Alien Resurrection (1997)
Other mistake: At the end of the movie, as the ship is approaching Earth, the Earth is backwards. Africa is obviously pointing in the wrong direction, as if the image has been reversed.
29th Jul 2007
Die Hard (1988)
Other mistake: All of the lights on one of the Christmas trees stay on throughout the movie, even though the power was cut, and only emergency lighting supposedly was left on.
