Fright Night Part 2 picture

Other mistake: When Regine becomes the new host of Fright Night, she appears on video monitors and Peter Vincent is watching her on TV while in a bar. Cameras use mirrors, so she shouldn't have appeared on the monitors or on the television at all.

Suggested correction: Most cameras don't use mirrors. Only DSLR/SLR cameras do, which allows you to use a viewfinder. Other cameras, camcorders, and television cameras don't need mirrors.

Appointment With Death picture

Factual error: Poirot meets the rest of the cast at the port of Trieste before they sail off for Jaffa. In actuality though, they already were in Jaffa, which served double duty acting as a very poor stand-in for Trieste; the architecture of the port and promenade is nothing like Trieste's, and you can see in the establishing shot Jaffa's St. Peter's church. (00:08:30)

Hide and Go Shriek picture

Continuity mistake: Clearly a different guy playing Zack in the beginning as he looks to be over six feet tall and has a full head of combed back brown hair. Zack later on looks like he's only 5'5" with receding brown hair.

Sunset picture

Factual error: The events in the film take place in mid-1929, as evidenced by the first Academy Awards being presented in May. However, Wyatt Earp went to the happy hunting grounds in January of that year.

Masquerade picture

Plot hole: At Tim's funeral, Olivia's attorney tells her that Tim had himself removed from Olivia's Last Will and Testament, proving he loved her and didn't want her money. However, an attorney could not legally change a client's Will without that person's knowledge and drafting a revised version.

Suggested correction: Not true. Anyone can have themselves removed as a beneficiary of a will. This is done by signing an Affidavit of Disclaimer of Inheritance at such time as someone becomes aware that they have been included in a will as a beneficiary. This is what Tim meant when he said he had removed himself from Olivia's will.

Yes, someone can have themselves removed, but the person whose Will this affects would have to be informed so they could reallocate how their estate will be divided after their death. That would require a revised will. This is particularly true regarding Olivia, who was wealthy.

Feds picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Zuckerman is thrown to the floor in the gym and handcuffed, you can hear the handcuff ratchet click as it's placed and closed on her wrist. As the other agent moves away, you can see that the handcuff is open and not actually closed around her wrist. (00:31:00 - 00:31:50)

Journey to the Center of the Earth picture

Other mistake: Christina suggests that they have found Atlantis. However, they start in Hawaii, which is in the Pacific. The general consensus is the Atlantis is in the Atlantic (or Mediterranean) and not the Pacific. Some people do suggest that the lost continent of Mu is in the Pacific.

Plot hole: Marci, once changed back, seems to have clear vision despite having worn glasses before. Melody no longer has an overbite and Mickey isn't overweight. Why they stay this way isn't made clear.

Other mistake: When translating Dutch for English, one translation uses "their" when it should've been "there." It's in the scene when we first see the lead cop talking to his daughter.

Running on Empty picture

Continuity mistake: Michael Manfield (Danny Pope) walked to the Phillips' house for the in-house music presentations, but on his way home when he was sitting by the lake, his bicycle was on the ground. There was no indication that he had gone home first - he was throwing away the hat he took from Lorna's room, and he was still wearing a tie. (00:38:51 - 00:42:52)
