Question: In the scene where Lennox introduces Sam and Carly to Director Mearing, he says that Carly "Knows all about the Autobots and knows Bumblebee". Yet, just one scene prior, she looks at Bumblebee like she's never seen him before. Does she know about the Transformers or not?

Brad

Chosen answer: Sam probably told her all about the Autobots but she had probably never seen Bumblebee 'in person.' Shock and awe.

Men in Black (1997)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end, when J is fending off the Edgar Bug with the flaming branch, Edgar's mandibles are outside his mouth. Cut to a shot of J and the mandibles are inside his mouth. (01:23:40)

Clockstoppers (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Gibbs snaps the watch back into place before he puts it in the box, he puts the yellow cover on upside down, as evidenced by the square on the face of the watch being at the bottom of the watch as opposed to on top. For the rest of the movie, the watch is normal.

Star Trek (2009)

Trivia: In the scene where Bones and Kirk board the Enterprise, they enter the medical bay. As they walk through the doors, to the right of the screen on the wall is a very futuristic looking device. In reality, this is a Dyson airblade hand dryer you can find in public bathrooms. (00:41:35)

Brad

Question: Of all the Transformers who die in this film, how many of them have died before in the Transformers canon? I'm looking for specific examples and how many times they've died.

Brad

Chosen answer: I can tell you that every single one of them died in the old animated series, eventually. They had to make room for new characters to sell toys of.

Phixius

Audio problem: In the scene where Dylan is explaining the Decepticon's plan to Carly, there is a shot of Sentinel Prime moving the control pillar into the tower. During this shot, if you look to the left, you can see that Dylan's mouth is not moving when he is supposed to be talking.

Brad

Trivia: In the scene where Laserbeak is disguised as a copier, the sounds his buttons make are actually the Transformers theme song.

Brad

Other mistake: When Shaw enters the CIA research facility, he grabs a man by the collar and tosses him into the air, yet he never comes back down.

Casino Royale (2006)

Question: Help me out if I'm wildly off: The Ugandan gangster attacks LeChiffre in his hotel, who Bond later kills. LeChiffre then continues with the game and panics when Mr. White demands the money. I was under the assumption that LeChiffre only owed money to the gangster and therefore needed to win the game to pay him back. Why does he continue with the game after the gangster is killed?

Brad

Chosen answer: Le Chiffre operates as the banker for Mr White's entire organisation. The Ugandan is only one of many individuals and groups for whom Le Chiffre provides financial services; killing him does little to solve the problem of the missing money. Plus there's the question of trust - if Le Chiffre can't keep the money safe, then Mr White's organisation have no use for him and, as we see in the movie, will readily eliminate him. Le Chiffre's desperate to recover the money to prove his trustworthiness and save his own life.

Tailkinker

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, as Carly comes up the stairs, it is bright and sunny outside. As Carly leaves, it is raining, but when Sam walks outside and sees his parents, it's bright and sunny again.

Mega Piranha (2010)

Revealing mistake: The guns that the soldiers use to kill piranhas with are actually Nerf Longshots that you can buy at the toy store.

Ratatouille (2007)

Trivia: Toward the end of the movie, Linguini and Colette are reading Ego's review in the paper. In the paper is an advertisement for the step stool ladders that Skinner uses throughout the movie.

Brad

Character mistake: Throughout the movie, the way characters pronounce Tori's last name changes. It switches back and forth from "Fredricking" and "Frederking".

Brad

Trivia: In the first shot of the space battle at the beginning, just before the camera pans down to Obi-Wan and Anakin's fighters, a piece of debris hits a spaceship. Closer inspection reveals that this is a kitchen sink.

Brad

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, when Dylan is pointing a gun at Sam, he has both hands on the gun. In shots of Sam, one of his hands is on his side.
