Continuity mistake: When Dreyfus goes crazy again he's completely soaked, When he's chasing Clouseau he's suddenly dry.

The Sword in the Stone (1963)
Character mistake: Archimedes says he told Arthur not to pull the sword out of the stone. He didn't, he pointed it out in the churchyard to him instead.

Suggested correction: Archimedes was trying to be helpful when he pointed out the sword so Merlin could take it to the tournament. But after it became a big issue with the rays from heaven and the legend, Archimedes thought he might get in trouble so tried to act innocent by fibbing. It was deliberate and in character, not a character mistake.

Christine (1983)
Trivia: One time Alexandra Paul brought her twin sister Caroline to the set and successfully pranked director John Carpenter by having Caroline shoot a scene. Carpenter, very amused, later said he could tell there was something odd going on when they shot the scene... but couldn't quite figure out what it was.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969)
Stupidity: The villain should've removed the tape hidden in the mask once he had it as it was incriminating evidence.

Matters of the Heart (1990)
Audio problem: More than once in the piano playing scenes there's music playing even as the characters' fingers aren't touching the keys.

Matters of the Heart (1990)
Revealing mistake: Obviously not Jane Seymour sitting on the bed topless as her back suddenly looks tanned.
30th Apr 2021
Ladykillers (1988)
Revealing mistake: Clearly not Susan Blakely when she goes topless. Her hair suddenly becomes curlier, that's a body double.

Judicial Indiscretion (2007)
Other mistake: The film's set in Seattle but was filmed in Canada. This is evidenced by things like a Canadian red striped postal box as well as cars with Canadian license plates.

Judicial Indiscretion (2007)
Revealing mistake: An obvious double for Anne Archer the morning after her assault. The double's hair isn't shoulder long and is thicker than Archer's.

Music (2021)
Factual error: No judge would award guardianship of a person with something like autism to a sibling who's a recovering alcoholic and drug dealer.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I think it is POSSIBLE, but not probable. Someone on the spectrum may have poor coping skills when dealing with strangers or would not do well if placed in an unfamiliar environment. Placement with a sibling - even one as you described (recovering alcoholic and drug dealer) - may be less traumatic and disruptive than with a non-relative or stranger. A judge would have to weigh the bad against the good while considering the person's needs and the sibling's ability to meet or exceed those needs.

Daughter of the Streets (1990)
Continuity mistake: The leather straps on Charley's legs on her bed keep loosening up between shots.

Joker (2019)
Continuity mistake: Arthur's cuffed in the police car, but he's uncuffed once laid out on the hood.

Rocky III (1982)
Revealing mistake: Look closely after Thunderlips powerslams Rocky. Mainly when he pulls him up by the hair. Clearly that's not Sylvester Stallone but a stunt double.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink - S5-E7
Stupidity: Merrigan should've removed the heroin from the statues once he got them, thus the whole murder of the cleaning lady and discovery of his drug dealings might not have been discovered.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Critic - S8-E6
Question: When they entrap the suspect is that legal?
Answer: It seems like a good lawyer could tear that to shreds. "When I said I'd never seen her before, I meant up close, in the same room. Look, a teenager had just falsely accused me of rape, you can't blame me for panicking a little bit."
Answer: Entrapment in and of itself is not legal. Entrapment entails the police (or agents of the police/government) forcing or tricking an otherwise law-abiding citizen into committing a crime; the person would lack the necessary intent to be convicted. However, merely providing (an already willing) person with the opportunity to commit a crime is not entrapment. Without knowing the specifics of the case you are referring to, it is impossible to know if there was entrapment. At the same time, the police know what does and does not constitute true "entrapment", so are not likely to try entrapping anyone - they would lose the case, defeating their efforts.

Malcolm in the Middle (2000)
Continuity mistake: Hal speaks about having held Malcolm the moment he was born. But in the Season 2 episode "Flashback" not only was he not there for his birth, he didn't hold him immediately, instead he talked to Lois.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Question: Are Violet and Mike stuck as being blue and stretched out permanently?
Answer: It's left vague in the film, but in the book, it's made clear that yes, they are stuck that way.
Answer: In the original movie with Gene Wilder, Wonka assures Charlie that "they will be returned to their nasty selves." In this version they are stuck like that forever as a lesson to other children.
Answer: It's unknown if they'll stay that way for the rest of their lives or if they'll eventually return to normal.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Question: When did Martian Manhunter get to Earth, why did he assume Martha Kent's identity, and where is she during Justice League?
Answer: Martian Manhunter is played by Harry Lennix, who also plays General Swanwick, a character who appears in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman (and we can see he transforms back into Swanwick he leaves), revealing that Swanwick was Martian Manhunter the whole time, so the indication is he got to Earth before Man of Steel. He assumed Martha's identity to speak with Lois, specifically to have a heart to heart with her as she is depressed due to Clark's death. Martha is present every other time we see her, when she leaves the Kent home at the beginning and when she reunites with Clark later on. This scene was the only time Martian Manhunter used her identity.
