Holmes & Watson (2018)

Factual error: Some of the newspapers have the wrong date. During the opening, the article about young Sherlock is dated "Wednesday, November 24, 1870." However that was a Tuesday. Later, the article about the killer on the loose is dated "Friday, December 15, 1892." However, that was a Thursday.

I Am Legends - S5-E13

Trivia: After the Legends escape the military vehicle and try to flag down a passing car, the old lady in the passenger seat says "Don't stop, Wilbur!" There is a very similar line from "Back to the Future" when Marty is trying to flag down a passing car and an old lady in the passenger seat says "Don't stop, Wilbert!"

The Waterboy (1998)

Question: According to IMCDB, Bobby rides a John Deere 200-series lawn tractor. Assuming he didn't do anything to spruce it up, how many miles would he realistically be able to ride it before having to fill it up? How fast could he ride it? Does it take regular gasoline or would it need a special fuel mix? I couldn't find any specs on its mpg, although JD says it has a 3.5 gallon tank and a top speed of 5.5 mph.

Bishop73

Answer: Didn't see the movie, but I looked up the specifications for the John Deere model 200 on TractorData. It was the first of the series and manufactured from 1975-1976. It had a Kohler one-cylinder 305cc 8 HP 4-cycle engine that runs on regular gas and a surprising maximum speed in 4th gear of 7 miles per hour! No one seems to rate lawn tractor MPGs, but similar-sized engines running generators at full load might use about 3/4 to 1 gallon per hour. So, he should be able to go at least 3 and 1/2 hours on a tank, or about 25 miles. He could fill up at a gas station without having to add oil to the gas.

Bob's Burgers (2011)

23rd Mar 2022

Resident Alien (2021)

Family Day - S2-E5

Factual error: The phone number Harry is given has an exchange that starts with "0" (the first 3 digits after the area code). Phone numbers (in the US) can't start with "0" since that's the "operator."

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When Paul falls from the ceiling, after everyone else falls, his feet knock over two boxes and everything sort of settles. In the next shot, one of the boxes is back up and his legs are coming down on the boxes again, but nothing is knocked over.

Progeny - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: In the flashback to 1920, Kendra flips the calendar to October with a snowy mountain side picture. Later when she's talking to Carter about leaving, the calendar is now on September with a trail through the grass picture. It goes back to October when their son comes in.

Bob's Burgers (2011)

Burgerboss - S2-E4

Other mistake: Throughout the episode, the buttons on the video game change or disappear in some shots. For example, when Bob first asks for Darryl's help, you can see there's no buttons on the game.

Resident Alien (2021)

Radio Harry - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: The kids' pancakes change during the scene. Sahara's has a hole and tear in it from when Harry pokes it, but later it has just a hole. And the amount of blueberries and whip cream on Max's changes. Some shots, they're back to the previous set up.

Bob's Burgers (2011)

The Land Ship - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: Part of the plot of the episode is the port-a-potties being in front of Bob's restaurant. But on the day of the parade, there's a shot of The Land Ship going down the street and there are no port-a-potties in front of the restaurant. When Jimmy comes over to make fun of Bob, they're back in front of the restaurant.

Resident Alien (2021)

Family Day - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Harry first picks up a water balloon and throws it, his hands are now empty. In the next shot, he has a blue water balloon in his hand. When he throws that one, you see it's a pink balloon being thrown.

The Walking Dead (2010)

Show generally

Question: Maybe I missed a full explanation or it's a plot hole for the show, but how do Michonne's armless, jawless walkers on a leash help mask her scent or let her walk among the walkers?

Bishop73

Answer: The other walkers see the two already upon her, figure that she's already taken, and move on.

Captain Defenestrator

What do you mean "upon her" if they're in front of her and walking forward?

Bishop73

A satisfactory answer hasn't really been given. The general consensus on Reddit is that having the two tame rotting zombies close by overpowers her own smell and the zombies can't detect her. In my previous answer, I was thinking that it was a psychological tactic. The other zombies see that they're about to eat her and about to attack, figure "that one's taken," and move on. This time, I'll go with the internet's answer.

Captain Defenestrator

I broke this question up into 2 because I ran out of room. But, yeah, I thought the idea was either mask her smell or make other Walkers think she's "taken." But in the show, those options don't seem to work for other characters.

Bishop73

"Upon" as in "They are about to descend down on their prey."

Captain Defenestrator

Yes, but I was asking about times when they're in front of her and she's following, not that ever showed any signs of descending down on her.

Bishop73

Well, zombies don't look that carefully to distinguish "Oh, those guys are walking in front of her instead of about to throw her on the ground and eat her. Let's get really hung up on the word "upon" now, shall we?"

Captain Defenestrator

It was my polite way of letting you admit you didn't know what you were talking about and were guessing with a total BS answer.

Bishop73

Ah. Well, I DID admit that earlier.

The Walking Dead (2010)

After - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: The message in chalk Carl writes on the door changes from what we see him do. For example, he writes something on the middle part of the door (which doesn't look like the word "shoe") and then doesn't write on the inset part of the door below that. When we see the message, the inset part now has some writing on it.

The Neighbors (2012)

Close Encounters of the Bird Kind - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Dick Butkus is in the clubhouse doing "The Butkus Group", the door is open. After Max and Abby leave and Bill Nye says you can't charge a cell phone with a potato, it's still open. But in the outside shot of Max Abby, the door is now closed.

The Neighbors (2012)

Challoweenukah - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: After Reggie Jackson goes inside and Jackie Joyner-Kersee is talking to Dick Butkus, her hands switch from being down by her side to up around her waist depending on the camera angle.
