Trivia: The Deadpool variant with a dragon on his chest is "Welshpool" - the dragon and colours are the Welsh flag, a nod to Wrexham AFC, the Welsh football team owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenheny.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
Trivia: Elektra's dismissive "it's fine" response to Daredevil's death is a nod to her and Ben Affleck's failed relationship.

The Dark Tower (2017)
Continuity mistake: When the Gunslinger rescues Jake in the forest, he fires far more shots than we see his gun is capable of holding when he reloads it.

Expend4bles (2023)
Trivia: The timer on the bomb is a rotary kitchen oven timer. Amazon sells various types identical to it. I've got one myself. Not necessarily a mistake, because the bomb seems to be somewhat improvised, but still amused me.

Road House (2024)

Extraordinary (2023)
Continuity mistake: As Jizzlord says, "so really, this is a good thing", he's holding the posters upright, facing Jen. Cut to a shot from the side and he's holding them horizontally, facing upwards.

Killing Eve (2018)
You're Mine - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: After Eve kills Raymond, Villanelle tells her to take her shirt off. In a shot from behind, Villanelle puts her hand around Eve's back. Then it cuts to a shot beside them both, and both hands are in front of Eve.

RoboCop (2014)
Stupidity: Robocop is just about to be unveiled to the press for the first time, and they decide right beforehand is the perfect time to upload a massive amount of data, including his own attempted murder. Then, they seem shocked when that causes problems. No reason to do that right before a very public, time-sensitive moment except for the sake of the plot.

The Creator (2023)
Audio problem: At the start, when at Ground Zero, a robot wakes up, and Joshua shuts it down. The woman he's with says, "What the hell," but her mouth says, "What the fuck," dubbed presumably for a lower rating.

Speed (1994)
Trivia: The famous line "pop quiz, hotshot" doesn't actually have a definite writer. The original script was by Graham Yost, but Joss Whedon was brought in to rewrite it (unhappily uncredited per WGA rules) and wrote most of the dialogue. He said the line was already in the script, while Yost denies writing it and said it was Whedon's. Most likely it was written by another script doctor, Paul Attanasio, but he doesn't recall writing the line either.

Speed (1994)
Trivia: The first bus explosion nearly ended in disaster - the real bus that Jack waves goodbye to turned off while out of shot, then the camera moved around to see the prop bus in its place (towed by a car) that was packed with explosives ready to blow up. But a woman ran onto the set, thinking she'd missed her bus, and hopped aboard, almost missed by the crew as they were at a safe distance. John Frazier, the effect supervisor, spotted her and fortunately stopped the foreman from triggering the blast.

Speed (1994)
Trivia: Joss Whedon was brought in to work on the original script, and despite being responsible for about 90% of the film's dialogue, didn't get a writing credit due to WGA rules at the time. He changed Alan Ruck to be more sympathetic, and created the scene after the elevator rescue when the team is celebrating, but all the characters, story beats and action were from the original writer Graham Yost.

Archer (2009)
Archer: She told you, a woman whose loose lips have sunk so many ships they should be named "Admiral Nelson" and "concept of torpedoes."

Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Stupidity: Kora and Gunnar arrive at the town to find the rebel Bloodaxes via a contact of Gunnar's. They literally see this contact being hauled out of a bar by bounty hunters who work for the Imperium...and then walk straight into the same bar and start openly talking about needing to find the rebels right in front of the bartender and other patrons, who for all they know are all Imperium-aligned.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Trivia: For anyone curious, the quote "I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me" was said by Cary Grant - to Pelia, clearly.
15th Dec 2023
Reacher (2022)
What Happens in Atlantic City - S2-E2
Trivia: O'Donnell references "James Barr" as someone who might have a grudge against the 110th. Reacher says he "ran into him in Indiana last year - he owes me now." That's a reference to the book "One Shot", which was also the basis of the Jack Reacher film starring Tom Cruise, where James Barr was falsely accused of sniping civilians. That story's presumably canonical in this series but is now in the past.

New Girl (2011)
Five Stars for Beezus - S6-E22
Trivia: Sadie's patient who says "it's a real upstairs downstairs kind of day" is played by Katherine Pope, executive producer of the series.
