And the Sea Shall Give Up Its Dead - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Tony Stark is typing on the keyboard, some of the keys are depressing without him touching them.

Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6
Other mistake: Two scenes in this episode are shown out of order. First we see Captain America and Spider-Man lying on the ground near the dimensional vortex at the mercy of Chameleon and the Red Skull, with Cap flicking a rock across the room to distract Chameleon so that he and Spider-Man can re-engage them in battle. Shortly after, we see Spidey and Cap arriving at the dimensional vortex to configure it to defeat Electro, with Chameleon and Red Skull attacking them once Spidey has finished with the vortex, revealing they had been lying in wait knowing full well someone would figure out that the vortex was the key to stopping Electro.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6
Other mistake: When Spider-Man and Silver Sable are chasing the Red Skull and Kragov, they are able to deduce which direction they are going by identifying their footprints. However, Spidey and Silver Sable themselves don't leave footprints when walking over the same spot.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 2: Unclaimed Legacy - S5-E3
Other mistake: When Silver Sable infiltrates Kingpin's Russian lair with sleeping gas, before falling unconscious, Kingpin correctly deduces that he has been betrayed. In the next scene, Kingpin asks Silver Sable how she was able to infiltrate his lair, and she tells him one of his men is a traitor, which elicits an incredulous reaction from Kingpin, completely contradicting the previous scene where Kingpin already surmised there was a traitor.

Spider-Man (1994)
The Wedding - S5-E1
Other mistake: When J. Jonah Jameson is on the phone with Wilson Fisk, one shot shows that the area of Jameson's desk between the receiver and the cord is colored the same gray color as the cord, instead of the golden-brown color the rest of the desk is.

Spider-Man (1994)
Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 4: The Six Fight Again - S5-E5
Other mistake: The news footage of the elderly Six American Heroes being attacked by the Insidious Six is merely clips from the previous episode.

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 8: The Ultimate Slayer - S3-E8
Other mistake: When Kingpin is berating Smythe over his failure to kill Spider-Man, the camera footage Kingpin is showing of Spider-Man is merely clips from previous episodes.

Spider-Man (1994)
Partners in Danger Chapter 5: Partners - S4-E5
Other mistake: When baby Silvermane is secured to the platform, his arms are long enough to reach inside the restraints. Considering he is physically a baby, the mistake is that the animators either goofed and drew him to be a little older, or that his arms are disproportionately long.

Spider-Man (1994)
Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 7: Enter the Punisher - S2-E7
Other mistake: Spider-Man and Detective Lee both comment on the skull on the Punisher's shirt when they first see him. However, the Punisher is wearing body armor that covers most of his chest and abdomen in this scene, so there's no way they would know that he has a skull on his shirt.

Common mistakes
Other mistake: A common error for Batman films, despite Gotham City being a large and heavily populated city akin to New York or Chicago, Batman never gets stuck in traffic. In fact, whenever Batman is shown driving through the streets of Gotham, there is little to no traffic at all.

Common mistakes
Other mistake: A character will be slapped in the face, but their face won't be red afterwards.

Dark Phoenix (2019)
Other mistake: Despite taking place roughly 30 years after "X-Men: First Class," Xavier and Magneto have hardly even aged. Both would have been in their late 20's at the youngest in "First Class" and in this film neither looks any older than 40. It's not because of their mutant powers either - only Wolverine and Mystique were specifically mentioned as having a slower rate of aging because of their powers.

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Other mistake: When Steven is giving his final monologue, Michiel Huisman's natural Dutch accent slips through when he says "Without it, we cannot continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality."
28th May 2019
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Other mistake: While working in the basement, the young Hugh Crain gets his right hand sliced badly by a fan. When the story next jumps forward to the present time, the first thing we see is Hugh grabbing a handful of dirt with the same hand and there is barely a scar on it.
15th Apr 2019
Common mistakes
Other mistake: Helicopters appearing from out of nowhere and surprising characters. Helicopters are loud enough to be heard from a considerable distance and will also vibrate the ground/buildings/homes if they are flying low enough. The only feasible way a person can be surprised by the sudden appearance of a helicopter would be if they are deaf.
11th Feb 2019
Common mistakes
Other mistake: Characters that are on the run from the law or otherwise go into hiding, and they cut their hair themselves and it looks like it was done by a professional stylist. Examples include "The Fugitive," "Gone Girl," and even "The Outsiders" showed two youngsters cutting each others' hair with a knife but having a decent end result.
28th Dec 2018
Daredevil (2015)
Other mistake: When Matt and Claire are on the roof and Matt says "A dead guy, a guy I witnessed burn to death," Charlie Cox's natural English accent slips through. (00:41:35)
13th Dec 2018
Common mistakes
Other mistake: The hero can usually knock out henchmen with one or two punches, but the main villain (as well as the hero themselves) can take much more punishment. This is practically akin to enemies in video games. In fact, heroes are so confident of their abilities that they can knock an opponent down and know that they are down for the count without even having to verify.

The Room (2003)
Other mistake: When Johnny first goes into the flower shop to buy roses for Lisa, the clerk says she didn't know it was him. As he is leaving, she says he is her favorite customer. If he's her favorite customer, then there's no way she couldn't have known it was him, especially given how unusual he looks and sounds.

Suggested correction: How is this a mistake? Of course the main villain, the boss, is hardest to knock out. If his henchmen were just as strong or stronger, why are they just henchmen? See it like a race, the champion is hardest to beat, that's why he is champion.

He doesn't mean that it's in video games, he's meaning that this makes movies and shows like video games using that.
Quantom X ★
Just to give an example, at the beginning of the movie "Goldeneye," James Bond knocks out a henchman sitting on a toilet with one punch. But at the end of the movie, Bond and Trevelyan are beating the crap out of each other and neither is knocked unconscious. It's certainly reasonable for someone to be a more formidable fighter than their underlings, but it wouldn't make them magically impervious to blows to the head.
Phaneron ★
The mistake is that the hero of the movie very rarely checks to see if a disabled opponent got back up. They are supremely confident that they are out, even if the hero literally just rolled them on to the floor. Makes for good movie magic, but is totally unrealistic.
oldbaldyone
This mistake has four aspects. (1) The hero knocks someone unconscious for good with just one hit. (2) The hero does this to several enemies in succession, with the same results. (3) The hero shows no signs of fatigue. (4) The hero takes on the tougher villains and takes them down too. Doing all of these requires immense superhuman strength. In films about superhumans, this is not a mistake. But there are films that deliver this and are cheeky enough to give the appearance of there being a modicum of reality in it.
FleetCommand
It's not necessarily a measure of strength, technique has got a lot to do with it. When one goes for the throat for example or the jaw a knockout is almost always certain, if you know what you are doing. You have to if you got no time to hit someone twice because the next opponent is not waiting.
lionhead
You are right. But we don't see proper technique either. I really have issues with people getting unconscious for good from a punch between their eyes, especially when John Reese does it.
FleetCommand
I agree with you that some movies take it too easy. But is it really common? The first knock out of Goldeneye example isn't all that unlikely, he may even have hit that guy twice, but a blow to the head, a surprise blow to the head can definitely knock someone out, happens in boxing all the time. Even between the eyes, as long as the head is knocked around.
