Transformers (2007)

Continuity mistake: After Megatron says to Optimus: ''Then you will die with them!'', Megatron throws Optimus away, and the latter one heavily damages a car, and two others skid sideways in order to brake in time. Two other cars remain parked. But in the shot where Optimus gets back up and draws his gun, only one car remains. Even if the two cars that stopped just before they hit Optimus drove away, there would still be two parked cars and one heavily damaged one. (02:01:00)

Question: Is Barricade (the Ford Mustang police cruiser) ever mentioned or shown in this film? Or do we still don't know what happened to him after the first movie?

Friso94

Chosen answer: He has not been seen since the first film. However, according to the comics that take place between the movies, Barricade has been working reconnaissance ever since the first film.

Revealing mistake: When the battle between Optimus and Megatron first begins, Optimus pulls a dead tree out of the ground, without branches and needles but still standing upright in its basic conical shape, and uses it to beat Megatron. The latter one deflects the attack by pushing it into another tree, the one where Sam in covering behind. When it hits that particular tree, you can see that the end of the tree is perfectly straight, as if it was cut by a saw rather than pulled out of the ground. (00:59:40)

Resident Evil (2002)

Continuity mistake: On the train, just after Spence falls in, Alice takes off her wedding ring and sees on the inside: Property of Umbrella Corporation. However, after she finishes off Spence, she drops the ring next to him, and in that shot, the inside is clean; or at least the half we can see when it lies still. Such a long line would take up a lot of room on such a small ring in that size text. (00:17:45 - 01:19:05)

Transformers (2007)

Continuity mistake: After Ratchet says: "The boy's pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with the female", Mikaela scratches her head, but in the shot directly afterwards, her hand is instantly down. There is nowhere near enough time for her to put her hand down again. (01:03:50)

Continuity mistake: When Optimus is shot in the battle in the forest, he loses one of the chrome bumpers on his chest, and the other one is heavily damaged. The latter one is attached to HIS right side. But in the shot where he says: ''Sam. run.'', the bumper is attached to the left side of his chest. (01:01:15 - 01:03:05)

Continuity mistake: Optimus knocks over Megatron, and collides with the Fallen, knocking him off of the pyramid. But in the next shot where Optimus blows up the machine with a single shot, the Fallen is nowhere to be seen, and in the shot directly afterwards, he is right below Optimus.

Revealing mistake: After Galloway says: ''You just signed the death warrant on your career major'', we get an exterior shot of the C17 banking sharp to the right, at an angle of nearly 60 degrees. But in the following shot on the inside of the plane, everyone is still standing, and Lennox and Galloway haven't even moved. (01:39:30)

Plot hole: In the beginning of the film the Fallen is nearly barely able to live. Jetfire explains that without Energon, Transformers will "oxidize and rust, like my wretched self!". But after Optimus dies, the Fallen is suddenly able to do serious combat. Where did he get that new energy from, when The Matrix of Leadership is said to be the only remaining source of Energon?

Audio problem: We get a shot of a Predator drone taking off, and it is driven by a propeller. However, it makes the sound of a plane with a jet engine.

Continuity mistake: Optimus Prime kills Grindor by ripping it's face apart, after which Grindor falls over. But when Megatron kills Optimus, Grindor is gone. A huge robot like that would most definitley be seen in the wide shot with Megatron and Prime.

Continuity mistake: Devastator demolishes a fair chunk of the top of the pyramid. In the shot where it falls down after being destroyed, the top of the pyramid is still intact. (02:11:20)

Friso94

Revealing mistake: The same shot which shows the sun is used several times in this movie - please note the cloud next to it. Two of these shots have Jetfire in it, and three are after that.

Knight & Day (2010)

Audio problem: When Roy shoots the first two guys above them right after he stops the car you can't hear the shots when he starts shooting: there is a delay of about half a second. (00:28:15)

Friso94

Continuity mistake: In the front shot of Alice just when see jumps off of the roof, in the far right corner of the screen, one of the zombies trips and falls down. But in the wide-shot directly afterwards, that zombie is instantly gone.

Knight & Day (2010)

Continuity mistake: In the motorcycle chase, when Roy is right behind Fitz, there is a close-up shot of Roy and June in which, behind them, two beige Smarts turn up. But in the shot afterwards, the Smart has turned black all of a sudden. It can't have overtaken the first car, because the street is way too narrow.

Friso94

Continuity mistake: In the church scene, Alice blows up her motorcycle with two shots of her Colt .45's. During the shot of her back, she already starts with holstering her guns, her arms are already halfway there when the shot cuts. Then, there is a quick shot of the explosion, and in the next shot her arms are straight again, in the position where they were when she took a shot at her bike. There is no reason or time enough to do that.

Knight & Day (2010)

Continuity mistake: When Roy turns with the blue Volvo into the parking garage, in the shot where June falls over, we can see a big glass structure out of her window. But when the shot cuts, there is a brick wall - and the glass structure is nowhere to be found.

Friso94

Revealing mistake: Just after the Tower Swing, Alice shoots with her Smith and Wesson at a load of zombies. But when she fires the last two shots (the ones in slow-motion) pay close attention to the gun in HER right hand. The chamber doesn't start to turn until after she has fired the shot, meaning that the hammer would strike a spent bullet.
