Charlotte Gray picture

Plot hole: The police wanted to take Julian's father away as a Jew because they found out his grandparents (plural) were Jewish. Even assuming they were only talking about one set of grandparents, this would make the father half Jewish, and therefore in the eyes of the Nazis, a Jew. That means that Julian would then be one quarter Jewish, and also considered a Jew. But the police then go on to say that the father is one quarter Jewish, but Julian is only one eighth Jewish, and therefore not a Jew. But he'd have to have only one Jewish great-grandparent to be non-Jewish, and they already confirmed that he had at least two. The numbers don't add up.

Birthday Girl picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the film when John and Nadia are eating supper together, Nadia gives John a ring and speaks in Russian. The camera is at her back so we can't see her mouth move, but it is definately not Nicole Kidman's voice.

Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India picture

Factual error: In the movie, the over is shown to be of six balls. In 1896 the British played cricket with a five ball over.

Tortilla Soup picture

Continuity mistake: Leticia Naranjo is at the hairdresser's to talk to Yolanda. After some theological discussion the guy throws a barber gown around her neck to start working; there are at least two passersby reflected in the mirror as it happens. She refuses the hair care and stands up, but as she breaks free you can see the people in the reflection changed entirely. (00:04:15)

Amy's Orgasm picture

Continuity mistake: Janet asks the protagonist, horrified, if she had sex - since it totally would spoil her image if she did. She is holding her martini in hand but at the cut it's on the table. (00:03:10)

Au Pair II picture

Revealing mistake: Grandma handles the remote control in clumsy fashion, sending the model helicopter too close to the buffet and ruining the party. That's the idea at least; in truth, the cakes are catapulted in the air by devices placed under them. They are easy to spot because of the wrong timing, the geyser-like puffs of smoke they create, and you can even see marks at the bottom of a tray. (00:07:30)
