Other mistake: In "An Ache In Every Stake" (1941), Vernon Dent is running down a lengthy set of stairs as an icebox is rolling down above him. (The stairs were also used in the 1932 Laurel and Hardy short "The Music Box.") One scene of Dent running down the stairs is shown twice in succession.

Rock River Feud - S2-E16

Other mistake: Pat, riding a wagon pulled by two horses and headed to Rock River, slows to look at a sign. The sign, shown in close-up, says "ROCK RIVER, 5 MI." An arrow points to the right - but that is the direction Pat is coming from. The arrow should be pointing to the left.

Rock River Feud - S2-E16

Other mistake: Gene enters his ranch house and tells Pat, "I picked up a letter for you at the post office - special delivery." A special delivery letter would have been taken to the addressee upon receipt. It would not be left at the post office.

Other mistake: Fleeing the Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane and his horse tumble down a cliff and land in a lake. They are completely submerged but when they come out of the lake they are both completely dry.

Steven Lee

Other mistake: Just as Ichabod Crane places his coat across a small stream of muddy water so Katrina can cross, Brom Bones rides his horse through the water, creating a large splash. Ichabod winds up covered with mud and sitting in the water. Brom scoops up Katrina and rides off with her. There is not a speck of mud or water on her, on Brom or on the horse.

The Sheriff of Santa Rosa - S1-E23

Other mistake: Gene is chasing Ted Nolan, who is believed to have ties to a gang of cattle rustlers. Both men are on horseback. A long shot of Gene riding across a range is followed by a long shot of Ted riding across the same range so it appears Ted is chasing Gene instead of the other way around.

Other mistake: This TV-movie is set in 1934. At the county fair where a pie judging contest is about to take place, a sign reads, "Entrants...Please leave your name on the pie." The sign uses a computer-printed font.

Disenchanted (2022)

Other mistake: Malvina addresses the magic mirror by saying, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most powerful on them all?" She misquotes the line from "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs" which begins with the evil queen saying, "Magic mirror on the wall." (00:00:42)

The Doodle Bug - S1-E4

Other mistake: Lucy Lawrence enters the stage depot in Bentonville and introduces herself as the new schoolteacher. A young boy exclaims, "School! Phooey!" Mrs. Lawrence says, "Well, school isn't all reading and writing and sums, Edgar." She had no way of knowing his name.

Columbo (1971)

Other mistake: Chico sells Groucho a paper with the name of a horse who is sure to win. It says "ZVBXRPL." Chico explains that the name is in code and then sells Groucho a code book. Groucho looks up the name and says "ZVBXRPL, page 34" but he is looking at a right-hand page. Page 34 would be a left-hand page.

Inside Out (2015)

Other mistake: When Riley and her parents arrive at their new home in San Francisco, several pieces of mail are sticking out of the mail slot in the door. A letter carrier would not deliver mail to a vacant house, let alone not push it all the way through the slot.
