Factual error: During Memnon's training session, at least one of his opponents uses a Japanese training sword known as a shinai. You can see this most clearly after the fight, when one of the weapons lying on the ground comes into view. Not only did the Egyptians and Japanese not have any contact with each other at this time, but this particular training weapon had not yet been invented.

Hollow Man (2000)

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
Revealing mistake: When Riggs jumps from the car onto the house that's being moved, you can see when the stuntman replaces Mel Gibson. Look at his hair, it changes styles as he jumps.

The Simpsons (1989)
Trivia: Bart changes the lyrics to Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" to "In the Garden of Eden." This was in fact the original title of the song, but because Ron Bushy had difficulty listening through a headset, he misinterpreted the title. It was not due to Doug Ingle being drunk while singing, as the popular rumor has it.

Rollerball (2002)
Continuity mistake: When Jonathan gets out of Ridley's car during their first meeting, Jonathan opens the door twice while speaking the same sentence to Riley.

The Simpsons (1989)
Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: In every other episode, the bar at Moe's Tavern is a regular L-shape. In this episode, it has somehow gained two additional angles on the long side, making it a Z-shape (plus the angle to the short end, which is not shown).

The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Bart is first introduced to the Superfriends, Ham moves around the table a bit. First he is seen sitting next to the kid with dark, curly hair, and you can see a plate in between him and Bart's plate, indicating that someone else is sitting there. This someone turns out to be Lisa, who after she is introduced, switches seats with Ham, making Ham sit next to Bart.

The Simpsons (1989)
Audio problem: When Bart calls Milhouse to get the answers to the history test from him, Milhouses voice sounds a lot different from his usual voice. It sounds more like Mrs. Krapabbel's voice. (00:08:30)

The Simpsons (1989)
Bart Gets Hit By a Car - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: During Marge's testimony, Lionel Hutz has a neat stack of papers in front of him the whole time. But in the close-up when Homer and Hutz both cover their eyes in sorrow, Hutz has several pieces of crumbled paper and a broken pencil in front of him. The was not nearly enough time for him to make such a mess since the last shot of him.

The Simpsons (1989)
Bart Gets Hit By a Car - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: In Moe's Tavern, in the close-up of Marge as she says "Homer, look at me" the glass window behind her has a different pattern than in all the other shots (2 rows of red tiles instead of 3).
19th Sep 2005
The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: When the Flanders and Simpsons first meet at the golf course, Flanders is wearing his usual long-sleeved green sweater over his shirt. After Homer says to him, "The fruit of my loins can beat the fruit of your loins any day of the week", the color of Flanders' sleeves is missing, making it look as if he's wearing a sleeveless pullover.

The Simpsons Halloween Special: Tree House of Horror - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Homer is preparing the barbecue, he is wearing an apron that says "Mafia staff apron". After he goes to pick up the lighter fluid, it reads "Maffia staff apron", and after he has lit the barbecue, it is back to saying "Mafia".

The Simpsons Halloween Special: Tree House of Horror - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: After the aliens have dropped off the Simpsons in their back yard, Marge is seen wearing her usual red pearls. Except in the final shot of the family. Then her pearls are white. This is not due to the alien light source altering the colors in the segment, because Marge's pearls have been a dark color through the whole episode, even inside the alien spaceship.

The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are at the cabaret show, Mr. Burns and Smithers are there with two women. In almost all of the shots there is a woman sitting between Burns and Smithers, except in the close-up of them when Burns asks "How does he DO it?". Then Smithers is shown as sitting right next to Mr. Burns. (00:21:00)

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Bloodlines - S7-E22
Audio problem: When Jason is having seizures in his quarters, Dr. Crusher gives him an injection to stop it. But watch Jason closely - he goes limp BEFORE you hear the sound of the hypospray.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Bloodlines - S7-E22
Continuity mistake: When Jason and Picard are having a conversation in the holodeck, Jason says "I remember her telling me about all the boys and girls who didn't have anyone to care for them" while looking in the opposite direction of where Picard is sitting. The camera angle changes to a close-up and Jason now has his head turned slightly towards Picard.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Continuity mistake: As Sallah pulls Dr. Jones senior off the tread of the tank, Indy lets go of his whip and turns towards the German colonel and they continue fighting face-to-face. You can see that Indy punches the colonel so that he loses his balance and stumbles backwards. A split second later, the colonel is standing behind Jones with his arm around Indy's neck. They did not have nearly enough time to so radically change positions. (01:32:15)

Renaissance Man (1994)
Continuity mistake: When DeVito has shown up late for a class and his students are leaving in protest, he throws his book onto the table. You can see the book bounce off his satchel and over the side of the table, but in the next shot the book is lying on top of the satchel. (01:05:05)

Sin City (2005)
Continuity mistake: After Jackie has sat down on the swastika-formed throwing weapon, he is shown crawling on the ground. The swastika is then shown sticking out of his buttock in a horizontal position to his thigh. When he is leaning against the trash can, the swastika is shown again, but this time it sticks out pointing downwards (in relation to his thigh), at a 90 degree angle from it's original position. The points on the blade would have kept it from twisting in the wound, and Jackie did no movements that would cause it to twist.

The Wicker Man (1973)
Trivia: Christopher Lee did this movie for free, and considers it one of his best roles ever.
