My Best Friend's Girl picture

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the movie when Alexis is getting ready for her first date with Tank, her roommate is holding a cheetah print shirt. The shot changes and suddenly Alexis is wearing it, even though she has not had time to put it on. She is also holding a drink in her hand, but she never puts it down. (Although this is explained on the DVD's Deleted Scenes, it is still a mistake.)

Stone of Destiny picture

Revealing mistake: The raid took place at Xmas in 1951. In homage to this fact, the characters wear big coats and one of them even rubs his hands together and goes "Brrr." Yet the movie was filmed in the height of summer. Trees in the background of scenes in London are full of leaves, we never see any mist in exhaled breath and the lighting levels and shadows indicate a high, bright sun.

Surfer, Dude picture

Continuity mistake: Addington and his manager talk about showing Zarno the "Under the Sun" sticker idea to make money. Trouble is he would already be getting royalties from it. Two scenes earlier, April May meets up with Add wearing an "Under the Sun" T-shirt. Therefore he was already making money and didn't need to go see Zarno.

Lost Boys: The Tribe picture

Continuity mistake: Some of Aunt Jillian's bangs (parted down the middle) were separated from the left side, partially covering her eye when she went into Chris and Nicole's house but the gap was gone when the camera shifted, and she was walking toward them. Aunt Jillian had "The Goonies" in one hand and a bag of Dunkin' Donuts in the other, so didn't move her hair forward to close the gap. (00:17:23)

The Ramen Girl picture

Continuity mistake: When Abby is finished washing the dishes, she tosses the towel she was using and it lands on top of a red can. An immediate close-up of the towel on top of the can proves this (0:25:29). A second later, the picture zooms out again to show her bending over from exhaustion (0:25:30). The towel is no longer on the can, but behind it against the wall. Abby follows the shop owner into a room adjacent to the kitchen and when they come back, the towel is once again on top of the can (0:25:55), but most of it is inside the can this time. It's obvious that neither her nor the shop owner has touched the towel and no one else is in the shop. (00:25:25)

War, Inc. picture

Factual error: The bar shown in Iqualuit is not real. Iqualuit only has 6100 or so people, and there is no bar like the one shown in the movie. The building is wrong - it doesn't even look like any buildings in Iqualuit. There is one bar that looks nothing like the movie, one Legion, and a bar in the hotel in Iqualuit.
