22nd Jan 2004

12th Jan 2004
Thelma and Louise (1991)

12th Jan 2004
Fallen (1998)
Revealing mistake: When Hobbes is searching for information about Milano, he types his search into the webcrawler search engine and it takes him straight to the front page of the newspaper that is reporting on the events he is searching for. With the search terms he used there is no way he would get that result. You may argue that all the boring bits of websearching were cut, but for his second search he goes back to the web search instead of the newspaper's own search to get the next year's article. (00:22:00)
8th Jan 2004
Too Young to Die? (1990)
Continuity mistake: After Mike punches Billy and pushes him down onto the bar, Billy stands up and shakes the popcorn from his face. The camera angle changes, and now Billy has more popcorn stuck to his face than he ever had before. (00:23:45)
8th Jan 2004
Too Young to Die? (1990)
Character mistake: Amanda's lawyer says several times she'll go to the gas chamber if found guilty - once to her, once to the prosecutor and once to the jury. Oklahoma doesn't use, and never has used, the gas chamber for executions. (00:15:00 - 01:16:00)
8th Jan 2004
Too Young to Die? (1990)
Factual error: Amanda gets married when she is either 13 or 14. The legal age in Oklahoma is 16, and there's nothing to suggest she lied about her age.
8th Jan 2004
The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
Continuity mistake: When Frank, the DA and the policeman are discussing the accident, the policeman notices the electrocuted cat and it is shown next to the ladder. In the subsequent wide shot the cat is lying between the beams of the ladder. (00:42:50 - 00:43:35)
8th Jan 2004
The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
Continuity mistake: When Nick arrives home, drunk, from L.A. the package he is carrying is fully wrapped in paper and he is not smoking. When he comes in the front door, the package is half unwrapped with the towels hanging out and he has a cigarette in his mouth. (00:26:00)
6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Continuity mistake: When we see Melvin's bedroom, when Simon is looking for the dog, the shelf above his bed is half filled with books and bottles of water. By the end of the phonecall with Carol, the shelf is completely filled. (01:58:15 - 02:01:20)
6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Melvin and Frank are talking about taking Simon to Baltimore the flowers on the table are yellow and red. When Carol is reading her note to Melvin, they're orange and purple. The colour isn't off because Carol's top looks the same as before. (01:16:00 - 01:17:30)
6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Continuity mistake: When we see Carol writing the thankyou note, the page is numbered (23), there are 8 lines of writing on the page and she says she is on the last page. When she is looking up the word 'conscience' in the dictionary, the paper is visible again but it is a different sheet - there is no number and there are only 4 lines of writing. It is the page she is about to write on because the last words written are 'have it on my ' - 'conscience' following this phrase makes sense. (01:09:00)
6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Continuity mistake: Simon has a rack of pool balls on his coffee table. When Melvin is telling Simon about the bacon, the 2 ball (solid blue) is near the telephone. In the next shot, the dog jumps up to get the bacon and now the 3 ball (solid red) is near the phone. (01:01:20)
6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Melvin goes to the restaurant after seeing the psychiatrist and is not served by Carol he bangs on the table and tells the waitress to go and get her. The flowers in the vase on the table change twice in consecutive shots. Pre-bang = yellow, orange and red. Post-bang 1 = white, 2 yellow and red. Post-bang 2 = 2 white and 2 yellow. (00:41:40)
6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)

6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)

6th Jan 2004
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Melvin is chasing the couple away from "his" table the flowers in the vase on the table are red and orange. When he sits down, there is now a large pink flower in there too. (00:12:10)

6th Jan 2004
The Simpsons (1989)
Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays - S15-E8
Factual error: The symbols on the heads of the Teletubbies on stage are wrong. They did use the word 'teletubbies', so they're meant to be the same as the real world. (00:05:40)
6th Jan 2004
The Simpsons (1989)
Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays - S15-E8

2nd Jan 2004
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Factual error: Another indication that this was filmed on the west coast is that in the opening shot you can see the sun. If this was North Carolina at sunset then the sun would not be visible across the ocean. (00:01:20)
2nd Jan 2004
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Helen finds the word 'SOON' written on her mirror she smashes it. There are two shots of the mirror being broken - in the first the center of the cracks is between the O's and in the second it is in the middle of the first O. (00:57:50)
2nd Jan 2004
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
2nd Jan 2004
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Factual error: When Helen and Julie are researching David Egan on her computer, the browser shows the URL as '//http:cnty457.lib.org'. It should of course be 'http://cnty457.lib.org'. (00:45:30)
2nd Jan 2004
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Factual error: David Egan's obituary says he died on 'Wednesday July 5th 1997'. In 1997, July 5th was a Saturday. (00:45:30)

M*A*S*H (1972)
The General's Practitioner - S5-E20

21st Dec 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)

21st Dec 2003
Druids (2001)
Continuity mistake: When the young Vercingétorix arrives at Gergovia and tells his uncle that he is returning the horse, the blankets on the horse's back change position between shots. (00:04:00)
21st Dec 2003
Druids (2001)
Revealing mistake: When Vercingétorix leaves the Romans to go to Gergovia there is a stone mason by the road carving what is probably a distance marker. The man's chisel is obviously not in contact with the stone - while he is banging it with the hammer it is waving around in the air. (00:17:00)
21st Dec 2003
Druids (2001)
Continuity mistake: When we see Caesar, in the town of Bibracte, asking why the archdruid has not been found, in some shots his robe is on his shoulder and in other shots it is not. (00:19:20)
21st Dec 2003
Druids (2001)
Audio problem: When Vercingétorix tells Caesar that Alexander the Great was dead by the time he was Caesar's age, his mouth movements don't match the words. In this shot he is, I think, speaking French with the English dubbed over - he looks like he is saying 'mort'. (00:24:50)
21st Dec 2003
Druids (2001)
21st Dec 2003
Druids (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Vercingétorix is at Avaricum, saying he needs to burn it to prevent the Romans getting the supplies, at one point the people behind him all change position. (00:43:55)

Other mistake: One of the shots of the aftermath of the battle is played in reverse - e.g. the smoke from the fires is going down. (01:41:20)
21st Dec 2003
Split Second (1992)
Revealing mistake: The opening text describing how London is badly flooded because of heavy rains and global warming is accompanied by an aerial shot of the city. From the level of the Thames it is clear that this wasn't even filmed at high tide, let alone during a flood. (00:00:45)
21st Dec 2003
Split Second (1992)
Continuity mistake: After the first murder in the nightclub when Durkin and the other policeman are on the boat, talking about Stone, their position on the river keeps changing.

21st Dec 2003
Split Second (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Michelle takes one of the chocolates that are in the shape of a heart, she takes one from near the top. When the killer enters the flat, it is a chocolate from near the bottom that is missing. (00:40:15 - 00:42:50)
21st Dec 2003
Split Second (1992)
Factual error: The radio at the beginning of film says that the flood problem will increase with the approaching full moon. Later it is revealed that the killer only kills when there is a new moon. Since he kills that evening, and tides are highest with full and new moons, the radio should have been warning about that evening's tide, not the high tide in 2 weeks time. (00:04:00 - 00:43:30)
21st Dec 2003
Split Second (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Stone sees the little girl outside his flat, after the murder there, his face is very wet from the rain. He turns around and it is now totally dry. (00:49:10)

Continuity mistake: When we first see the skating rink, it has Jasper, Disco Stu, Otto, Apu and Manjua, Sideshow Mel, a couple of children and two couples skating on it. In the next shot we see the Comic Store Guy split his trousers - he wasn't there before. (00:14:00)
16th Dec 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: In the mess, you can see everyone has their food on metal trays and ceramic dishes. Sgt Zale, though, has his lemon pie in a polystyrene dish - so that it doesn't hurt Klinger when he gets it in the face. (00:08:15)

Continuity mistake: When the chopper carrying the soldier with the wounded back takes off, the sky is cloudy and, even accounting for the poor quality of the film, the weather looks very dull.

Factual error: Mahony gets Can$15,000 from the bank he works in in Canada and flies to Atlantic City (US) where the cashier gives him US$15,000 of chips. US and Canadian dollars are not equivalent and, at the end of 1981, the cashier should be giving him less than US$13,000. Since he is broke, he couldn't have made up the difference himself. (00:09:30 - 00:11:30)
21st Oct 2003

Continuity mistake: Just after Sonny says, of Sal, that "that man bites" a potted plant seems to disappear then reappear from the counter. Sonny and the head cashier are moving down the counter getting the cash from each position as they go and, if you look at the signs on the counter, you can see that some shots are shown out of order; there are some shots of "Maria"'s position (no plant) interleaved with the previous position (with a plant). But the end effect is the same - appearing and disappearing plant. (00:12:20)

Hudson Hawk (1991)
Revealing mistake: Gratuitous car explosions are nothing new in action films ... but this time the ambulance explodes in mid-air before even hitting anything. (00:32:22)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Factual error: Bruce says his coffee tastes funny and Anna says it was the ethyl chloride in it. Firstly, ethyl chloride isn't soluble and secondly you would need much more than a sip to have any noticable effect, let alone instant unconciousness. (00:58:30)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Continuity mistake: The opening voice over says it is 1481. Later it says "Exactly 500 years later" setting the film in 1981. Bruce says that, while in prison he missed seeing E.T., which was released in 1982. If it wasn't for the 'Exactly' then I'd forgive them. (00:50:20)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Continuity mistake: Just after Bruce escapes with the Codex, when he is throwing his grappling hook from one building to the next, he is not carrying his backpack with the book in it. It reappears a couple of shots later. (00:52:00)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Bruce is making a phone call, the glass of the phone booth is normal. Just before he swings the blond thug around into it, a pane is shown that is obviously fake - it is discoloured and not smooth. (00:47:00)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Visible crew/equipment: When Bruce and his partner jump from the auction house, a safety cable is visible attached to Bruce. (00:22:58)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Factual error: Although there is a lot of uncertainty about the painting, the Mona Lisa was painted sometime between 1505 and 1515. Certainly not as early as 1481. (00:05:00)
1st Sep 2003
Hudson Hawk (1991)
Continuity mistake: When Bruce is being towed by the ambulance although the sheet starts ripping in the middle, the knot gives out and it becomes totally detached from the ambulance. Some subsequent shots show the ambulance with part of the sheet trailing in and some shots show it with no sheet. (00:31:36)
1st Sep 2003
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, there is a magazine article which reads, "... finally fall into place, only then will Tajikistan ..." The voice over - of the lady writing the article - says, "And only then will Tajikistan." (00:01:20)
31st Aug 2003
Sydney (1996)
Audio problem: Sydney is walking towards Jimmy, shooting - there are 4 bangs but only 3 flashes from the gun. (01:34:25)
31st Aug 2003
Sydney (1996)
Continuity mistake: When we first see John's hostage, the pillow on the bed has bright red blood right to the edge. In the closeup, a few shots later, the blood is much pinker and there is less of it. (00:52:25)
31st Aug 2003
Sydney (1996)
Continuity mistake: As Sydney is watching the craps game, 2 threes are thrown, but 'seven' is called out. (00:43:15)
31st Aug 2003
Sydney (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney gets up from the table in the diner, he picks up his cigarettes and an envelope from between the two coffee cups. A couple of shots before, we saw a side view of the table and there was no envelope. (00:06:30)
31st Aug 2003
Sydney (1996)
Trivia: This film was released as 'Hard Eight' in the US.
31st Aug 2003
Starship Troopers (1997)
Continuity mistake: Rico is running up the ramp to capture the red flag and drops his gun; it lands with the strap towards the top of the ramp. In the subsequent wide shot, the strap is towards the bottom of the ramp. (00:37:15)
31st Aug 2003
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Continuity mistake: When Barry punches the map, it falls down only slightly. The camera angle changes to him lying on the harmonium and the map on the wall behind him is much lower and at a different angle. (01:00:50)
31st Aug 2003
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Revealing mistake: When Barry is arguing on the phone with the Healthy Choices employee, the map on the wall behind him is creased in the Texas/Arkansas area before he punches it there. This could perhaps be the result of a previous take or some sort of indication of where the soft spot in the wall is so that Adam Sandler doesn't really break his hand. (01:00:25)
31st Aug 2003
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Continuity mistake: The clock in Barry's office behaves very erratically. All the time he is mending the piano and cancelling his credit card it says the same time - half past 7. A couple of minutes later, when he is discussing Lena with his sister it reads about 10 past 8. (00:36:45)
28th Aug 2003

Trivia: Stuart Margolin, who played Major Robbins (the plastic surgeon) in Season 2 Episode 18 "Operation Noselift" also played Captain Sherman (psychiatrist) in Season 1 Episode 7 "Bananas, Crackers and Nuts".
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: When they're playing poker, Hawkeye is sitting at an angle so that Sgt. Baker cannot see the earpiece that Hawkeye is wearing. However, Hawkeye sometimes turns his head enough for us to see his ear and, since the camera angle is over Baker's shoulder, Baker must have been able to see the earpiece too and realise he was being cheated. (00:13:20)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: When reminiscing about Radar's appendectomy, Henry says it took a long time to find because it was behind his secum. The appendix is behind the secum in more than 50% of people, so this shouldn't have fooled a doctor of Henry's caliber. (00:09:00)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
White Gold - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: When Perkins is recaptured, Henry leaves his office with his cigar in his mouth. In the next shot, of him coming through the door again from the other side, his cigar is in his hand. (00:20:55)

28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: In some shots the Spam lamb has mashed potato eyes and a carrot mouth, in others it has green grape eyes and no obvious mouth, and it keeps changing. (00:23:10)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: When Baker is talking with Father Mulcahy it is clear that Baker's nose is prosthetic. The colour doesn't match as well as it does in other scenes. (00:05:45)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Mad Dogs and Servicemen - S3-E13
Other mistake: Hawkeye, Henry and Trapper are playing scrabble. The board is in an illegal state - in the lower right corner 'it', 'jot', 'joy' 'yearn' and 'in' are not connected to the rest of the words. Since the others call Hawkeye on his non-existant word, I'm assuming they're playing properly. (00:15:35)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: When Henry is trying to convince Baker how wonderful the camp is, Henry says that they "had 'The Thing' and 'The Blob' both in one week." The movie "The Blob" was made in 1958. This season of M*A*S*H is set in 1951 and 1952 (and the war ended in 1953). (00:03:55)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: The mud spots on Lt.Smith's face change from scene to scene. (00:09:45)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: Radar says the weekly report is for the 17th to the 22nd inclusive. A 6 day week in the middle of a war?
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Sometimes You Hear the Bullet - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: As Frank receives his purple heart, Henry calls him 'Franklin D. Burns' All other references to his full name in the series give his middle name as 'Marion'. (00:23:50)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Sometimes You Hear the Bullet - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: Hawkeye lifts Wendell's arm, takes his pulse and lays his arm down by his side again. In the next shot, Wendell's arm is across his chest. (00:13:55)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
For the Good of the Outfit - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: Frank is shaving; when he bends down to pick up the envelope containing shrapnel fragments, the foam on his face and ear suddenly all dries up. The shot must have needed a lot of takes. (00:07:20)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: Hawkeye is in the Swamp talking with Trapper. Hawkeye leaves and walks past the tent - Trapper is not inside. (00:07:30)
28th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: Margaret is shampooing Frank's hair; she raises her foam covered hands to allow him to kiss her. The camera angle changes and her hands are nearly foam-free. (00:03:25)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: When Charlie drops the bomb on the General's jeep it is obvious that the jeep is already burnt and mangled when the explosion starts. (00:14:15)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: Radar hangs the hammer on the "Out of Order" sign and it is covering the 'of'. When he and Frank walk away the hammer has moved and is covering the 't' (00:15:20)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: Radar gives the location of the battle as Longitude 70, Latitude 27. This means the Korean war has spread to India. (00:21:00)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: The length of the chewing gum hanging from Henry's hat differs between the front and rear shots. (00:03:10)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: The first scene is set in the X-Ray room. There is an X-Ray up on a lightbox in the background. Towards the end of episode 14, there is a scene in the O.R. - the exact same X-Ray is visible in the background there as well. (00:45:00)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: During the scene which culminates in Frank declaring the camp dry the patches of water on his helmet change position. (00:05:50)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Requiem for a Lightweight - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: In the first shot of Trapper running behind the jeep, he has a large patch of sweat on his chest. For the rest of the scene it is dry. (00:13:00)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Trivia: Season 2 Episode 5 "Dear Dad ... Three". Hawkeye and Trapper tell the racist soldier the story of Dr. Charles Drew. Drew was the inventor of techniques for separating and storing blood products. He was in a bad car accident and, legend has it, died because the 'whites only' hospital refused to give him a transfusion. This is an urban myth - he did die after that accident but was treated properly at the hospital. (00:23:00)

M*A*S*H (1972)
Sometimes You Hear the Bullet - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: Frank and Margaret are dancing in her tent when Frank's back seizes up; in the subsequent shots sometimes his arms are around her waist and sometimes around her shoulders. (00:02:30)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: When Frank is getting drunk he spills gin down the front of his vest. A few shots later, just before he collapses, it suddenly dries out significantly. (00:13:20)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: In some shots, Radar's exam questions are in his hand, in others they are tucked under his arm. (00:10:30)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Henry, Please Come Home - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: As Henry is receiving his medal, Hawkeye walks up and stands close behind a man who is standing up and two women who are sitting down. The camera angle switches to show Hawkeye talking to Trapper and now they are standing behind two standing women. (00:03:55)
27th Aug 2003

Continuity mistake: After doing his pushups, Colonel Brighton puts on a red robe and talks with Trapper and Hawkeye. In some shots the cord from the robe's hood is hanging down and in others it is tucked in. (00:10:20)
27th Aug 2003
M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: At lunch, when Frank is getting his own back against Hawkeye, in the long shots of the table the plate of bread is beside Henry and in the closeups it is in front of Trapper. (00:11:30)

And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen (2002)
Continuity mistake: When Valentin is arrested at the tea-house, Jane gives him the necklace that the healer gave her. When she gets to the saint's shrine, the next day, she is wearing the necklace again.
25th Aug 2003

Continuity mistake: Jane has her blackout in the Moroccan village near noon (Jane and Valentin's shadows are very short). They walk back to the tea-house where the police are waiting and it is much later in the day (long shadows).
25th Aug 2003
And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen (2002)
Continuity mistake: In the shot of Valentin racing his boat, the name it is visible and it isn't 'Ladies and Gentlemen' as it was at the harbour.
22nd Aug 2003
Dark City (1998)
Character mistake: When Murdoch finds the correct page in the phonebook, it is not sorted correctly. e.g. "Harber G" should be before "Harber TJ" and "Harrison Dale" should be before "Harrison E" (00:44:18)
22nd Aug 2003
Dark City (1998)
Continuity mistake: While John and Emma are talking on the phone at the prison, Emma smiles and says she loves him. In the shots of John, we can see her reflection and she is not smiling. (01:05:00)
22nd Aug 2003
Dark City (1998)
Continuity mistake: While John and Emma are talking on the phone at the prison, Emma's hand changes position on the receiver from shot to shot. (01:04:30)
22nd Aug 2003
Dark City (1998)
Other mistake: When Murdoch is flipping through the phone book looking for Karl Harris, the names are nonsensical (Mreland, Mrons, Msaac - i.e. names that start with I starting with an M). Secondly, the pages are all the same. Thirdly, if he is looking for Harris then he should not be flipping forwards through the Ms (or even the Is), he should be going backwards. (00:44:14)
22nd Aug 2003
Dark City (1998)
Continuity mistake: When Emma is singing the 2nd time in some shots her left ear is covered by her hair and in some it is exposed. (00:41:20)

22nd Aug 2003
Brainstorm (1983)
Continuity mistake: As Alex is congratulating Mike and Lillian and saying the department heads need to be told, Lillian lights a cigarette. The camera switches to Alex, who says one sentence, then back to Lillian and the cigarette is almost gone. (00:22:00)
22nd Aug 2003
Brainstorm (1983)
Continuity mistake: When Alex is trying out the device for the first time car 6 is in front of him but that is the car he is supposed to be in - it's the car that Gordy drove when collecting the data. (00:20:45)
22nd Aug 2003
Boogie Nights (1997)
Continuity mistake: At Rahad's house, Todd puts a gun in his belt. It is not visible as he walks up the steps to the house, is visible as they go to greet Rahad and then it is not visible for the rest of the scene until Todd pulls it out to shoot Rahad. (02:08:20)
22nd Aug 2003
Boogie Nights (1997)
Continuity mistake: When the girl in the red swimming costume is being carried to the car after ODing, she has less blood on her face then when she was lying on the floor in the bedroom. (00:39:45)
22nd Aug 2003
200 Cigarettes (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Caitlyn and Bridget are in the cab, the shots of them show the glitter ball rotating clockwise. The shots of the taxi driver show the glitter ball rotating anticlockwise. (01:17:00)
22nd Aug 2003
200 Cigarettes (1999)
Continuity mistake: As we're watching from outside as Kevin and Lucy talk about how long they've known each other, Lucy's black jacket is off her shoulders. In the subsequent close up, the jacket is fully on. (00:42:00)
22nd Aug 2003
200 Cigarettes (1999)

15th Aug 2003
The Hunted (2003)
Continuity mistake: In the short aerial shot of Hallam and Bonham climbing up the bridge there is no train on the bridge below them. (01:13:08)
15th Aug 2003
The Hunted (2003)
Factual error: When Hallam is trying to get on the train, the policeman says the subject is on the Hawthorne Bridge. The MAX light railway doesn't go over that bridge, it goes over the Steel Bridge. (01:10:00)
15th Aug 2003
The Hunted (2003)
Factual error: Lots of liberties are taken with the geography of downtown Portland. For example, at one point Bonham is standing on a fountain looking around and, from his point of view, you see two MAX trains on a slope going past a parking lot. Those two points are about a mile apart and there is definitely not line of sight between them because most of downtown Portland is in the way. (01:07:40)
15th Aug 2003
The Hunted (2003)
Continuity mistake: The letter giving the Department of Defense jurisdiction over Hallam is dated March 5 2001. The caption about 12 minutes into the film ("Silver Falls, Oregon, 2003") sets it in 2003. (00:36:30)
15th Aug 2003
The Hunted (2003)
Continuity mistake: The colouring of the wolf's paw varies. When Tommy Lee Jones is tracking it, the paw is black. When the snare is being removed, it is pink with blood, and when the wolf is finally running away, the paw is white. (00:11:40)
15th Aug 2003
The Hunted (2003)
Factual error: In all the scene setting shots of downtown Portland there are always sirens wailing and car horns blaring to make it sound like a big city. Portland just doesn't sound like that. (01:06:00)
12th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Factual error: To provide cover, John turns on the carwash. However, it is unlike any carwash I have ever seen since it emits lots of foggy steam and no water. (00:38:00)
12th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Continuity mistake: After being handcuffed and hit, Meg's lipstick is smeared across her face. When she is shown next, after the scene in the carwash, the smears are gone. (00:39:15)
12th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Continuity mistake: The man in the darker jacket shoots the monitor of Meg's computer - the rear corner is destroyed. When John shoots the man in the light jacket the monitor is visible in the background and the far wall is visible through the hole showing that the monitor has been utterly destroyed. About 40 seconds later, the monitor is briefly shown undamaged. In subsequent shots the damage at the rear of the monitor is present but the screen is intact. (00:23:03)
12th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Revealing mistake: After shooting in the door to Meg's office, the man in the darker jacket shoots the computer then steps into the room. John jumps him and grabs his gun (his shirt is unmarked in this shot). John then shoots him at point blank range. In the closeup of the shooting, the man's shirt is already torn - and the bloodpack/charge is visible through the hole - for a few frames before the gun is fired and the special effect goes off. (00:22:23)
12th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Continuity mistake: When John and Meg are trying to escape the carwash in the car, in some shots the back window of the car is totally missing and in others there is a large section of shattered glass still there. (00:41:24)
12th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Continuity mistake: When Meg is altering the passport, we get to see the photos taken in the photobooth in the arcade. The booth took 4 pictures of John in slightly different positions (e.g. in the 4th photo (not the last flash which signifies a flashback) his head is turned quite a way to the left); but the 4 photos are identical. Also John's hair in the photos is different than when he was in the arcade. (00:55:57)
11th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Continuity mistake: When John is with Meg, sorting out the details of his new passport, 2 goons come to get them. The movements of the goons in the regular shots doesn't match what John and Meg see on the closed circuit TV. The CCTV shows the man on the left getting ready to shoot the door, the next shot (non-CCTV) shows the man on the right shooting the door. (00:22:10)
11th Aug 2003
The Replacement Killers (1998)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene Chow Yun Fat shoots a man wearing a yellow jacket and green shirt - the shot goes through the lapel of the jacket and there is a splash of blood. A few frames later, as the man is falling out of shot, his jacket opens to reveal his shirt is unmarked. (00:02:20)
11th Aug 2003
The Spanish Prisoner (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Joe realises that Jimmy isn't turning up at the park he goes to a pay phone, puts the red notebook down with the spine faceing to the right and starting phoning the FBI. In the next shot the the notebook has rotated 90 degrees with the spine now facing the wall. (01:06:45)
4th Aug 2003
The Pillow Book (1996)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the young girl has Japanese characters painted on her face. They differ slightly between shots - e.g. the square between her eyebrows moves significantly. (00:03:20)
4th Aug 2003
Mimic (1997)
Plot hole: Susan theorises that the insects have evolved to resemble people because of predatory pressure. However, for this to be true people must have been killing them - apart from the handful of 'moles and junkies' (who were the prey, not the killers) this film shows the first contact between humans and the evolved 'Judas bug'.
4th Aug 2003
Mimic (1997)
Continuity mistake: At the water filtration plant, there is a 2 second shot of Jeremy pretending to play guitar. During the shot, his ear-protectors are not around his neck. (00:43:10)
4th Aug 2003
Mimic (1997)
Continuity mistake: Peter walks into the bathroom holding a box of Chinese and a bottle of wine. He puts them down and hugs Sarah. She falls backwards into the bath and now he too is holding a glass of cloudy looking water. (00:08:25)
4th Aug 2003
Mimic (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Susan is sitting on the edge of the bath, her hands are empty. Peter walks in, she puts her arms around his neck and now she is clutching a glass of water. (00:08:10)
4th Aug 2003
Mimic (1997)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, Susan puts down her insect killing box in a patch of light in the tunnel and another patch of light is visible a few meters behind her. Just before and, more, at the end of the scene the wide shots show that there is just one light patch and that the rest of the tunnel is dark. (00:05:40)

Johnny English (2003)
27th Jul 2003
Lost in Space (1998)
Revealing mistake: When Penny and Blart are reunited at the end, the animators didn't put the creature where Penny is looking. She also tries to lift it onto her shoulder, but it is nowhere near her hand.
27th Jul 2003
Lost in Space (1998)
Continuity mistake: When Penny is sliding down the rope to get the microsealer, she knocks the silver device to the edge of the toolbox. In the subsequent closeup, the silver thing is back in its original place. (01:26:45)
27th Jul 2003
Lost in Space (1998)
Revealing mistake: During the attack of the Global Sedition on the space station at the beginning of the film, several objects can be seen with dark grey boxes around them - CGI artifacts. One clear time is when Ranger 1 is saying "Damn, can't shake him". (00:02:35)
27th Jul 2003
Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978)
Continuity mistake: When Clouseau and Cato are trying to get into "Le Club Foot" they go crashing through the window of a bakery. A little later on, they go through the same hole again, yet this time there is a large undamaged wedding cake sitting there for Cato to land in. The cake couldn't have survived the first accident.
27th Jul 2003
Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978)

26th Jul 2003
