Season 4 generally

Trivia: Creator Dan Harmon was fired during season four and rehired for season five. Harmon attracted some controversy when he finally watched season four and made several vulgar jokes about it, as he felt it was like an "unflattering impression." He later apologized and stated that he had a lot of respect for the writers and season four showrunners for trying their hardest to replicate his work and keep the show alive, and said he thought many of the jokes and the Rachel character were great.

Silent House (2011)

Continuity mistake: After Sarah finds her father in the bedroom and goes downstairs to get help, the blood pattern on her shirt/upper breasts changes. While the movie is edited to look like one continuous shot, it was filmed in bits and pieces, and the blood pattern was not consistent in some of the shots, it seems.

The Crow (1994)

Trivia: Chad Stahelski was a close friend of Brandon Lee and was working as his stunt-double on the film. After Lee tragically died, Stahelski served as his body double for unfinished scenes. Stahelski later became famous as a film director, helming all four "John Wick" films. Due to Lee's death, he is reportedly incredibly strict on his sets when it comes to firearms safety.

Scream 2 (1997)

Trivia: In an attempt to manipulate the MPAA into giving the movie an R-rating, Wes Craven sent them a copy of the film that was far more violent than he actually wanted the movie to be. His idea was that when they demanded cuts so it wouldn't be NC-17, he could submit his actual director's cut with less violence, and they'd likely accept it. To his horror and amusement, they gave the far more violent version an R-rating. Regardless, he still released his less violent cut of the film in theaters.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Jake tells Devon he was avoiding him because he felt like he wasn't good enough, and Devon replies "That's insane", the direction Jake is facing changes twice between cuts.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: During dinner, when Michelle starts talking to Caroline, the food on Caroline's plate changes when it cuts to the wide shot. Throughout the rest of the scene, the food on her plate continues to periodically change depending on the shot.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When GG says "You'll wrinkle my dress!", you can hear Tiffany clapping, but can't see her hands. It then cuts to another shot, and suddenly her hands are up and clapping. You should have been able to see them in the previous shot given the angle.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Other mistake: When the cop puts his cup of coffee down and says "Jen, put it down!", the series of shots is very wonky. He suddenly gets much lower between cuts, gets into an unrealistic position for the stunt to have the vase smashed over his head. Finally, when he lands, there's a bunch of glass perfectly still on the floor, which was obviously already placed there, in addition to a few pieces that are dropped from above.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When Glenda electrocutes the security guard and his face bursts into flames, you can see where a flammable substance has been smeared on the prop head. It's sort-of whiteish, and the flames immediately ignite on it.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Other mistake: When Michelle is making a video about her nativity set-up, we get a split screen of her recording and the phone's POV, but the way Michelle is moving her phone doesn't match the movement in the phone POV in the slightest.
