Smallville (2001)

Tempest (1) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: The way the pillar is on top of Lionel changes in the scene. In the first shot, he's on his side and it lands on his hip. In the next shot he's now on his back and the pillar is going somewhat across his body. In the wide shot of him as the roof falls, the pillar is below his belt, almost perpendicular to his body. Then back to being on his stomach and part of his chest.

Smallville (2001)

Stray - S1-E16

Trivia: When Lex arrives by limo to the Kent's, he gives Clark a sword. He tells Clark "it's a foil. Every hero should have one." This is a reference to Lex being a literary foil to Superman.

Smallville (2001)

Stray - S1-E16

Other mistake: When Ryan gets hit by Martha's car, you can see he has both shoes on as he's going to the ground, and we never see a shoe flying through the air during the hit. Then James and Debra find the shoe in the middle of the street as they watch Martha drive off.

Smallville (2001)

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Pete and Chloe are talking to Clark about the flower, Pete pulls out a notebook and opens it up to hand to Clark or Chloe. In the next shot Chloe is taking the notebook and it's closed, and she opens it up again.

The Batman (2004)

Q & A - S1-E8

Character mistake: In s01e08, "Q and A", Yelena moves her bishop to B6. The announcer says that's going to win it (the game gets interrupted at this point). However, that move does not put the computer (her opponent) into checkmate, it doesn't even put it into check. Her bishop is on a dark square and the computer's king is on a white square.

The Batman (2004)

Q & A - S1-E8

Factual error: In s01e08, "Q and A", when Yelena is playing chess, we see her use the touchscreen which represents the chessboard. However, the bottom left corner is a white square when it should be a dark square. The board is orientated incorrectly, even though the board on the floor isn't.

Smallville (2001)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Clark is picking up his books, you see him grab his notebook and put it on top. When he sits up, there's no notebook. It's there in the next shot of him, but gone when Whitney tosses a book to Clark.

Bishop73

Trivia: When Albert is hallucinating, the guardian of the future sheep is voiced by Patrick Stewart in an uncredited role. Stewart has done voice work on other Seth McFarlane films and shows, such as "Ted" and "American Dad."

Slacker (1991)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when Billy is talking to the bum (who later turns out to be Tawny), the bum has a glove on his right hand. When he reaches his right hand out to Billy and Billy gives him a subway token, there is no glove. It's back in the next shot.

Trouble Man (1972)

Continuity mistake: When T and Texas Blood are playing pool, the balls would move around after the stopped. Most notably after T makes the 1-ball. The cue ball is on the opposite side of the dot than the 8-ball and the other two balls are on the other end. In the next shot, the cue ball is on the same side as the 8-ball and the other two balls are now close to the cue ball.

Trouble Man (1972)

Revealing mistake: At the beginning, when the woman in the flotation seat is paddling backwards, you can see a fishing line attached to the back of seat that is being pulled to help her move backwards.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When DeWald is finishing his speech and says thank you, the camera cuts and Axel and Billy are walking with Axel clapping. In the next shot they've suddenly stopped and Axel isn't clapping.

Morbius (2022)

Question: Did I miss something in the film? It seems that the artificial blood's effect is slowly losing its ability, implying Morbius will have to drink human blood. But he'd rather die than turn into a murderous monster. So why doesn't he just drink donated human blood? He doesn't have to murder anyone for that. Did he try drinking animal blood, such as pig's blood? Or is he suggesting when he drinks human blood, that makes him murderous? And drinking artificial blood keeps him from wanting to kill?

Bishop73

Answer: He still had a compassionate side, the donated blood was for people who had blood diseases. The reason he did all this in the first place. As for animal blood, that's only for undead vampires, he was a living vampire, who needed specific fresh blood to combat his disease. Plus, vampires drinking animal blood was made up in movies and TV shows.

Continuity mistake: When Rosewood and Taggart are by the window and Rosewood is going to use the gum foil trick, he's looking at the window and holding his shotgun. In the next shot, the gun is already set down with no time passing.

Quantum Leap (2022)

Atlantis - S1-E2

Factual error: At the beginning, during the launch, it's stated that it's 1998. We learn the US astronauts are on the space shuttle Atlantis to deliver the first piece of the International Space Station into orbit. However, Atlantis never had a flight in 1998. The American ISS crew flew on the Endeavor. And the Americans launched the second piece of the ISS. The first piece was launched a few weeks before by the Russians out of Kazakhstan.

She-Hulk (2022)

The Retreat - S1-E7

Trivia: At the end, when Jen is leaving Blonsky's place, the tow truck company is "Slott Towing." This is a reference to Marvel Comics writer Dan Slott, whose work includes launching a new She-Hulk series in 2004 focusing on She-Hulk as a "superhuman lawyer."

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When the trio is driving to the racetrack, there's a shot of Axel in the backseat when he was in the front seat. This is the same shot from when they were driving to the City Deposit, with Axel in the backseat, after Axel asks if the car can go any faster.
