Continuity mistake: When Rick tells Alex that he put down "more mummies" than him and Alex replies "You put down ONE mummy, dad!" watch Alex's head. In the first shot, he's facing Rick. When it cuts, suddenly he's instantly looking to his right, and then he turns his head to face Rick again.

Revealing mistake: When Lin flies down and kicks the evil general into the gears, it's painfully obvious that the actress is on a wire. Her body unnaturally sort of floats as she's performing the kick, then after she's made contact with him, you see her unnaturally move backwards and land on the ground while clutching something invisible (presumably the wire that was painted out) in her hand. When she lands on the ground, it's also clear from her feet not touching the ground "properly" that she's being suspended.

Audio problem: When the Yeti kicks a "goal" with the soldier and the gate, pay attention to the shots and the soldier's scream. In the second shot, the soldier is an instant away from hitting the gate - he's literally only a few feet away from it. Then it cuts to a shot of the Yeti watching, and you hear the soldier continuing to yell for several seconds, even though you should hear him hit the gate. It then cuts back to the soldier and he finally hits the gate. The timing of the scream makes no sense.

Continuity mistake: When Alex arrives at the club towards the beginning, Jonathan pulls him away from the pretty woman and gets him a drink. The camera is behind them in a medium-wide shot, then cuts to a side shot as the pretty woman walks by and Alex watches her. Except when the camera cuts, the pretty woman just sort of appears right next to Alex, when she wasn't visible in the previous shot. Jonathan also goes from looking straight forward at Alex to looking to his right at the bar between the same cut.

Jackass Forever (2022)

Trivia: Series co-star Bam Margera was fired during production for reportedly failing to take cooperate with various conditions set for his appearance, such as random drug tests. After being fired, he started a lawsuit against the other creators and reportedly sent death-threats to longtime "Jackass" director Jeff Tremaine, resulting in Tremaine taking out a restraining order against him. Despite his firing, Margera did film a few scenes and does briefly appear in the finished film.

Halloween Kills (2021)

Trivia: Spoilers: The original ending featured Laurie calling her daughter and hearing Michael breathing... thus realizing her daughter was dead. Laurie then walks out of the hospital holding a knife, presumably on her way to face Michael. However, this ending was cut short at the last minute, when director David Gordon Green and the writers decided that the next film would feature a time-jump ahead. They didn't want to give the impression that the next film took place immediately after.

Trivia: Reportedly, Eddie Murphy, director Ron Underwood and the producers all had different ideas for what the style, tone and humor of the film should be. Murphy, being the biggest name, would often overrule director Underwood and the producers, and he allegedly also supervised reshoots without Underwood involved.

Audio problem: When the O'Connells and Lin meet at the club and Lin is explaining what needs to happen next, at one point she says the line "beyond it is a golden tower." If you look closely, the words she's saying and her mouth movements don't quite match. (Only the word "tower" matches... nothing else.) It's an over-the-shoulder shot of her, and her mouth is a little out-of-focus, but you can tell. The line was very likely redubbed in post-production, and thus wasn't said at exactly the same speed.

TedStixon

Deliberate mistake: When Tree turns on the magnetic medical equipment, it's somehow strong enough to yank a big, heavy wheelchair up and pin Gregory in only a split-second, but not strong enough to instantly pull the screwdriver out of Tree's hand? Obviously this was done so Tree could have a cool moment where she lets go of the screwdriver and it impales Gregory... but it makes no real sense.

Trivia: At various points early in the writing process, both Jessica Rabbit and Baby Herman were considered to be twist-villains during the third act. Ultimately, the character Judge Doom was created and became the bad-guy as the script was further developed.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the group go to the DARPA HQ during the post credits scene, pay attention to the doors as they enter the lab - the doors we see on the outside do not match the doors we see on the inside, revealing the scene was shot on two separate sets. (Most noticeably, the windows on the doors get significantly narrower once they are inside the lab).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: Throughout the final confrontation with Gregory, Tree has a bracelet on her left wrist. However, in the two closeup shots of her pressing the button on the magnetic medical equipment with her left hand, the bracelet disappears. (Looks like they forgot to have her wear it when they shot the closeup).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Tree wakes up from committing suicide with the drain cleaner, she starts pouring a water bottle into her mouth. In the wide shot, her mouth is wide open, her tongue is all the way in her mouth, and there's a steady stream of water pouring off her chin. But then it punches into a closeup, and her mouth is instantly halfway closed, her tongue is pushed forward, and the stream of water has suddenly slowed to a drip. Obviously a few seconds was cut for pacing, but still a mistake.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When everyone is leaving the basketball game near the beginning, watch the crowds around the main characters as they walk down the hallway. Sometimes the extras aren't consistent from show to shot. Ex. At one point a black couple brushes past Ryan - the man is on his right and the woman is on his left. When the shot cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly the man is to Ryan's left and the woman is totally missing. This happens a few times throughout the scene.

TedStixon

Trivia: They hadn't come up with the final design for Jessica during filming, so Bob Hoskins was told to just imagine his "ideal sexual fantasy" when picturing the character. Hoskins later remarked that the final design was actually sexier and more risque then what he pictured in his head.

Trivia: The first test-screening was a disaster. Most of the cartoon effects were incomplete (with many simply missing), and the crowd was made up entirely of teenagers who weren't told anything about the movie. When the film opened with a cartoon, they began leaving in droves, as they assumed it was a kids' movie. Those who initially stayed started to then walk out due to the film being hard to follow without the effects. However, later tests screenings went much better as more effects were finished.

Revealing mistake: During the climax, one of the weasels says "Toon Town's right on the other side of the wall, boss!" If you look, you can see a brick moving completely by itself behind him. It literally just pushes out of the hole in the wall as though it's being pushed from the other side. It seems like the other weasel was supposed to be animated pulling it out, and they somehow forgot to animate that part. (He does reach over and grab it for a split second... but then immediately lets go for some reason).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the short scene when Jonathan is talking to the yak at the camp, he instantly goes from facing sideways at the yak to facing forward at the campfire between edits at one point.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Rick, Alex and Jonathan are going over their plan at the mountain temple, watch Jonathan's hands when he sits down. He takes both of his gloves off. However, during one quick shot in the scene (where Jonathan says "Me?"), suddenly his left glove is back on. The next time you see him a second or so later, both gloves are back off again. There's absolutely no reason why he'd put one glove back on only to take it right back off, nor would there be enough time for him to do so between edits.
