Boys Klub picture

Continuity mistake: When Mario walks out of the bus station to meet his auntie and cousin, he is holding 3 bags. 2 rucksacks and a sports bag. The sports bag is all black. When he arrives at his auntie's house, he takes his bags out of the trunk. The 2 rucksacks are the same, but the sports bag has gone from all black, to red and green. (00:45:10)

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within picture

Continuity mistake: Right after Aki saves Gray and turns around to pick up the canister containing the plant off a table there is no table or ledge. If you watch the movie with the commentary one of the members involved with the movie says that it is floating on nothing. (00:16:50)

Riding in Cars with Boys picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene on the sidewalk where Bev is pretending Faye is her mom (and she's practicing to tell her mom that she's pregnant) the same people walk by several times. I don't think there was a single shot-reverse-shot sequence that had the right people walking by at the right time. You saw the same couple, for example, walk by at least four different times.

Ghosts of Mars picture

Revealing mistake: Have a look at the shot of the rear part of the train exploding as the locomotive pulls away from it. If there was ever a more obvious model shot, with cheesy, jerky bouncing toy trains and Action Man (TM) dolls, then I haven't seen it.

Continuity mistake: When Grace and Ms. Mills are sitting in the living room you can see a clock on the right, but in the next shot it's disappeared.

See Spot Run picture

Other mistake: When Stephanie (the kid's mom) gets sprayed with mud by the bus, it is accelerating as much as it can in reverse. Why would it accelerate so much in reverse if it's trying to avoid falling down the hill?

Metropolis picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Rock is trying to destroy Tima and the factory, the side parting in his hair frequently changes sides.

Gosford Park picture

Continuity mistake: In the red drawing room, Freddie Nesbitt can be seen behind his wife, Mabel, putting his coffee cup on a bureau. They cut away to a wider shot, and he is holding the cup again.

Wasabi picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Hubert punches the transvestite in the bar and she flies backwards, you can see the wires pulling her. It's hard to see but if you look at the black man in a white t-shirt and black trousers, when looking closer at the trousers you should be able to see the wire moving. (00:02:15)

Corky Romano picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Corky first enters the Vet Clinic, and speaks to the "patients", the shot when he first speaks to the old man with the Bassett Hound, the dog is in the chair on the man's left, but in the next shot, the dog has moved to the right, and the man has shifted to the left side of the chair.

The Fourth Angel picture

Other mistake: Jack says: "Did I meet him when Bush came over?" The German subtitles read: "Ich traf ihn, als Busch vorbeikam." Busch is German for bush... (00:20:35)

Visible crew/equipment: When cousin Derrick and Lisa's mom are sitting on the couch talking, you can see the boom mike reflection swaying back and forth in the window behind the two people.

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion picture

Plot hole: At the end of the film the boss says that he and Miss Fitzgerald are going to go on holiday together to Paris (talking about the actual city, not the secret code they have invented). However, the film is set in 1940 and Paris would have been an unusual place to take a holiday at this time, considering France was in the middle of a war... Pretty dangerous for civilians even though America was still neutral at the time.

Double Take picture

Other mistake: When Orlando is driving the car (I believe the old beat up car) the gear shift is all the way up in the park position, yet the car is moving.
