The Flash (2014)

Into the Void - S6-E1

Trivia: Cisco plays the Queen song "Flash" while Barry is running through the black hole. This song is actually a reference to Flash Gordon (used as the theme song for the 1980 film), not the speedster named Flash.

Killing Gunther (2017)

Trivia: When Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is talking about how he became the best, he says "how do you think I learned how to ram my fist into someone's stomach and to break their goddamn spine?" This is from Schwarzenegger's quote in "The Running Man." Gunther goes on to say "he's been doing this for almost 50 years. Schwarzenegger's acting career started in 1970, almost 50 years ago from the time the film was made.

The Flash (2014)

Don't Run - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Cisco opens up a portal, Caitlin and Dominic are next to it and seen moving towards it, with Ralph standing in front of the group (as if he's covering them). In the next shot, Caitlin and Dominic are going through the portal followed by Cisco, but Ralph is nowhere to be seen as he's already entered the portal. There should be no way for him to completely enter the portal first.

Continuity mistake: When Kurt and Kavi are washing clothes, the clothes change position on the line, specifically the red shirt at the end and the shorts Kavi hangs up. The red shirt is twisted around the line, but in the shot of Kavi hanging the shorts, the shirt is hanging perfectly straight down.

The IT Crowd (2006)

Calamity Jen - S1-E2

Question: In this episode, there's a commercial about "999" being changed to a ridiculous long number. While I get why it would be funny, was there some basis for joke itself? Like, was there talk about the UK changing the emergency number or something? Or is it just completely random. And when Roy says "how hard is it to remember 911, I mean 999", is this just a joke for American viewers to understand what 999 is? Or do British people say or use "911" too?

Bishop73

Answer: It's a joke on the "118" numbers in the UK. 118 numbers were used for directory enquiries and adverts for them on TV always tried to give a way to easily remember one for a particular company. The fake ad in the show takes it to the extreme. People in the UK do not use "911", the point of the joke was that Roy had forgotten "999" while saying it was easy to remember.

Continuity mistake: When Chet is pulling on the rope (thinking he's pulling up his nieces), the rope is over his left shoulder in long shots and his right in close up shots.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When Cara and Mara are at the cave and arguing about who gets to go first, the one without the flashlight goes in first, but when they're sliding down the cave, the one with the flashlight is first.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When the bear is pawing at the windshield the first time, he's using his left paw, but in the next shot, it's the right paw.

Trivia: In the newspaper, it says the Cubs sweep in 5. This means the World Series in the future now plays best of 9 instead of 7.

Dan Vs. (2011)

Dan Vs. The Bank - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When the 3 are escaping through the bathroom, in the long shot of the bathroom doors, there's knobs on the doors. But in the close up, the knobs are gone and they're push doors.

Bloodsport (1988)

Other mistake: When Ray and Frank are playing "Karate Champ", they're suppose to be playing against each other. But the screen shows the game is set for 1-player mode, otherwise it would have both "1 up" and "2 up."
