Innerspace (1987)

Continuity mistake: When Pete and Dr. Niles are in the car discussing the project, the background keeps changing depending on the camera angle. They're suppose to be stuck in traffic, driving near a giant hillside. But in some angles there's no cars next to them and it's wide open space with no sign of the hill. And the cars around them change. (00:11:00 - 00:12:00)

Innerspace (1987)

Trivia: When Dennis Quaid is slapping himself, before the experiment, the man he calls Ozzie is cinematographer John Hora, who has worked with director Joe Dante on previous films, such as Gremlins.

Point, Laser Point - S1-E26

Trivia: When Sylvester goes to see Witch Lezah, the other names on the directory are of real life therapists (although Cecile Willis' name is reversed).

Point, Laser Point - S1-E26

Continuity mistake: When Sylvester enters his mother's house, he slides the glass door from the wall to the middle and right to left (from viewer's perspective). But when he closes it, he closes it from right to left so it closes in the middle, even though it wasn't set up that way.

Point, Laser Point - S1-E26

Continuity mistake: When Granny tells Sylvester to stop chasing Tweety Bird, he comes to a stop and Tweety Bird keeps going and is ahead of him. But in the next shot, Tweety is now behind Sylvester (between Sylvester and Granny), however, there's not enough time for him to fly back that far (or even circle around), and we would have seen him do it.

Continuity mistake: When Clark and Kara pull up to the house on Kent Farm, they are very close to the fence, yet they have to take several steps towards it, and when they stop for the chickens, they're even further away from the fence than they parked.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: During the last fight with Darkseid, there's changes to what the farm looks like. At one point, instead of the windmill there's a building, which we never saw when Clark drove past the spot. And the overturned truck is missing in a several of scenes even though it should be visible.

The Paper (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Carmen and Wilder are arguing in Henry's office, Carmen's badge keeps flipping from front to back a couple times, without her touching it, sometimes between shots.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When Lex Luthor has his battle suit on and fighting Superman and Batman, the head and neck piece change dramatically and constantly. Sometimes the piece surrounds his head, leaving plenty of room and sometimes his head sticks out over the piece. And it's not a matter of angles, because in some shots, everything being the same, the side piece remains at ear level and his head is either above or below the head piece.

The Fly (1986)

Question: When Seth and Veronica are in bed for the first time and Seth rolled onto something that got stuck in his back (that Veronica had to pull out), what was it?

Bishop73

Chosen answer: I think it was a chip from an old-styled electrical device, like a computer.

Factual error: After the Fort Sumter battle, Mary Todd sees the newspaper on Lincoln's desk which states "20,000 soldiers dead", and what appears to be an April 1861 date (which makes sense since that's when the Battle of Fort Sumter took place.) However, there were zero causalities at that battle. And the first major battle, First Battle of Bull Run in late 1861, didn't even see 1,000 causalities.

Archer (2009)

Malory Archer: An erection?! The thought of me dead gives you an erection!?
Sterling Archer: No! Just half a one, the other half would have really missed you. I mean, not.

Bishop73

Factual error: At the start of the war, it says Fort Sumter 1861. However, on the battlefield we see the US flag with 35 stars. In April 1861, there were only 33 states.

Portlandia (2011)

Getting Away - S4-E10

Trivia: When the feminist group are hiking, the man who stops Toni and Candace and says "you're heading into beaver territory" is Danny Bruno. Bruno plays a beaver-like creature on the show Grimm. Later the tour guide says the forest the Beavers live in is called "Grimwood."

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When Zeebo and Wiploc crash through the fence and are now facing the wrong way on the freeway, we see 3 cars pass before they go into reverse. In the next shot, we see the rear-view mirror and it's 3 completely different cars. (00:19:00)

Bridesmaids (2011)

Continuity mistake: When Annie is sitting on the couch at her blind date's house, talking to his kid, her pearl-like necklace usually lays under her coat, but in some shots, they're over the coat or completely hidden.

Secret Window (2004)

Question: At the end of the credits, we hear Johnny Depp sing "mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread." Is there any reason for this, or a tie-in to the movie I missed?

Bishop73

Chosen answer: An additional reference to the full dominant personality takeover of Shooter, everything gravitates South Mississippi.

Trivia: Monroe Cole states that people will be calling him Mr. President for the rest of his life. While it is true people do tend to call former presidents by that title (thus not a movie mistake), as a point of trivia; is it incorrect to address a former president as "Mr. President" or "former president (surname)." While Cole doesn't have to worry about his ex-wife taking his title, leaving office will do that. It's the media that perpetuates this presidential title error.
