Basic Instinct picture

Character mistake: When Beth encounters Nick after Gus has been murdered, she puts her hand in her pocket and steps forward, prompting Nick to order her to freeze and to take her hand out of her pocket while aiming his gun at her. However, she just keeps reaching for what's in her pocket and approaching Nick, resulting in him shooting her. Considering that she works on the police force, she absolutely should have known for a fact that she was being suspected of reaching for a gun, but thinks nothing of it.

This Is Our Home picture

Character mistake: Reina asked Cory if they could "do that thing" because it was helpful for her medical school training.

American Wedding picture

Character mistake: When Cadence meets the group at the airport and Finch comments "you're reading Descartes", she responds by utterly butchering the line "cogito, ergo sum." Odd that a student of Descartes would be unfamiliar with how to pronounce his most famous statement-somewhat analogous to a student of Einstein not knowing e=mc^2.

Forbidden Planet picture

Character mistake: When Adams is chewing out Altaira for flirting with his crew, he says that he is "in command of 18 perfect physical specimens." With him, that would make for a total crew of 19 on the C57-D. But the complete cast only shows 18 names, including Walter Pidgeon as Morbius and Anne Francis as Alta. (And discounting Robby and his human handlers). Thus it would seem Adams is off by three. He has only 15 under his command. I've tried counting them when they're in group shots, but can't see everyone.

Suggested correction: Actors with no speaking parts typically do not appear in the credits. So even if the crew consists of 19 members, only those that said something would appear in the credits unless there are special circumstances such as the character not being able to speak.

The first person in the line from the right has trouble lighting their globe. She starts to return for a second try, but apparently thinks better of it and continues on with the unlit globe.
