Audio problem: The Choking Grounds: After being freed, the Gatekeeper will walk down the road and then leap up onto a higher area and proceed to walk behind a building to go away. Each step he takes is very loud as he's a giant rock creature on a paved road. But the moment he passes behind the building, the loud sounds of his steps stop where as you should still be able to hear him walking a way for a good distance. If you're standing in the right spot, you can even see him just suddenly despawn behind that building.

Continuity mistake: The Choking Grounds: Once freed, the Gatekeeper starts walking towards War and speaks "Ancestors praise you." As he says this, he almost right to War, but the camera cuts to a different angle before he finishes the last word and suddenly the Gatekeeper is several feet behind War. It seems the animators had him jump forward to keep from showing the Gatekeeper stepping on War.

Question: In Aech's workshop after she shuts the lunchbox with the miniature spaceships in it, and says to excuse Parzival who gets nervous around pretty girls. Aech then snaps her fingers towards Art3mis who responds by pulling out her broken bike for a heads-up display and tosses it to Aech. Only, if you watch closely, the screen that pops up in front of Art3mis appears as Aech snaps her fingers before Art3mis even moves. My question is were Aech's fingers controlling Art3mis inventory screen? Or am I seeing a mistake here that the screen appeared before Art3mis actually summons it? Cause there is a slight delay between the screen appearing in front of Art3mis before she actually moves or reacts to Aech's finger snaps. (00:17:40)

Answer: Because Aech is in control of the garage, its possible Aech creates a way for Art3mis to allow her bike to appear inside it. Art3mis only then puts her bike into the screen (window) which then becomes corporeal and throws it at Aech. Aech sort of allows Art3mis to spawn her bike in the garage, so Aech can fix it. I guess in a way Art3mis gives ownership of the bike to Aech so Aech can fix it.

Trivia: After Parzival and Aech take Art3mis to Aech's workshop to fix her bike, she runs up to the torso of the Iron Giant that Aech is building that later plays a big part in the final battle of the movie. The Iron Giant is positioned and stored in the warehouse almost the same way as how in the Iron Giant movie when Dean placed pieces of junk on the Iron Giant and had him sit in his warehouse pretending to be art to trick the military into thinking he was a fake.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the race, Parzival is accelerating towards the finish line as fast as he can but King Kong smashes down into the road in front of him. In the first person perspective of Parzival through the windshield of his car, he comes up almost right at King Kong with only 2-3 car lengths maximum between him and Kong. It then cuts to a view of Parzival's face as he reacts, and has time to react before switching camera angles again and now the car much much further away from Kong allowing him time to slam the brakes and skid to a stop from moving at high speeds. (00:15:45)

Continuity mistake: During the race, a big rig pulls out in front of the racers. Art3mis on her bike is going right at it with an IOI car right next to her, close enough to her right that her bike's shadow falls onto the car. But it cuts to another angle from under the truck looking at Art3mis now coming at the camera, and the car to her right has vanished. Their are IOI cars to her right, but much further away. (00:14:00)

Continuity mistake: Before the race starts, Aech is towards the front of the line up. Parzival had to head to the back so he could get coins for fuel. Art3mis pulls up right beside Parzival on her bike in the line up towards the back. As the race starts, there is a shot of Art3mis blasting through the lines on her bike and cutting way ahead of a lot of the cars and leaving Parzival in the dust as she takes off. But only a few seconds later as they reach a part of the road where there are trains coming, Art3mis is suddenly back behind Partzival again. (00:12:50 - 00:13:20)

Continuity mistake: Parsival meets up with Aech at the race, and as they greet each other with their handshake, you can see the American flag on the back of Aech's truck. The flag is gently waving in the breeze, and the pole is bent over a bit, leaning back. When the camera cuts to the next shot as Aech shows Parzival that she saved a spot for him, the flag pole is now perfectly straight and the flag is only barely moving. (00:11:30)

Continuity mistake: When King Kong leaps off the Empire State building to smash an IOI car, the positions of the planes circling the building change between shots, most notably the one closest to the race gets a higher altitude. (00:14:55)

Quantom X

Trivia: During the race after going through China Town, Parsival looks up to see King Kong. King Kong is hanging off the side of the Empire State Building with early biplanes circling around him, recreating the famous scene from the classing King Kong movie. (00:14:55)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: During the race, a T-rex pops out and bites a chunk off the rollcage on Aech's truck and then get's distracted by an IOI car. Aech's truck levels out and is driving normally, but then it cuts to a different angle showing a close up of Parzival in his DeLorean and suddenly Aech's truck has its front wheels up in the air and is in the middle of bouncing around. Aech did not hit a bump at that moment, during the cut, Aech's truck was instantly up in the air. (00:14:50)

Revealing mistake: The Choking Grounds: After defeating the four arena challenges in the Realm of Shadows, and going back to Gatekeeper and summon him up to free him. There is a tree to his left, on War's right, that has low hanging branches and a lantern hanging from one branch. As the Gatekeeper is standing up, his left arm passes through the branch and lantern. This is a being made of solid rock and the tree and lantern phase through it's arm like a ghost. His right arm also passes through some of the leaves on the right side of him.

Continuity mistake: When Noah and Adam are talking and Noah is playing with his fishing pole he is reeling it in. It cuts to a close up as he talks about his mother taking him to Canada and suddenly his left arm is pulled back a bit and he's holding the pole much closer to his body. (00:08:20)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: As Chester Hills shoots the motel clerk and calls him a little shit, you see a stack of books by the door. When Noah pops up from behind the couch and shoots Chester, the top couple of books on the stack turn almost a full 90 degree angle. (00:06:50)

The Humanity Bureau mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Noah enters the first house, a man wearing a black boggan on his head turns to look at him. Close to him is an old woman sitting on a couch watching TV. In the this shot, her shadow on the wall is slightly elongated and thin. But it cuts to a different angle and you can tell they moved the lighting around for the shot as then her shadow is roughly the same shape and size as her and much dark and thicker. (00:03:20)

Looking Glass (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Howard squishes a praying mantis on the mirror, it shows the splat on the Bible reflected as well as the dead mantis stuck to the mirror. When it cuts away to a distance shot, the size of the splat on the Bible grows bigger, and the mantis' body disappears from the mirror, leaving only a yellow splat. (01:22:50)

Continuity mistake: As Howard and Ray are talking in the Motel lobby about Crissy, Howard leans against the door and moves his hands around, showing they are empty. It then cuts to a close up and suddenly he has a cup in his hand. (00:56:05)

Continuity mistake: Tommy gives Ray a tip and starts to walk out the door. Ray slides the money off the desk and is shown reaching back to put it in his back pocket. It cuts to a view of Tommy driving off in his truck and then back to Ray from a different angle, and it shows Ray reaching back again to put the money in his pocket a second time. (00:18:30)

Quantom X

Revealing mistake: At the beginning as Noah's vehicle is reaching the edge of New America, there is a shot of a drone swooping down over a hill to follow him. As the drone comes onto screen, there is dust and debris animated to come up at the camera as it blows around its environment. However this small bit of superimposed bad special effects is the only thing it seems to affect. It swoops down right next to some tall dead grass and other plants, on a dusty hill. But not one item of the real environment is blown or even moves in the slightest from this drone passing by it from inches away. (00:01:30)
