Suggested correction: Grandsanta's portrait is shown in the halls of the North Pole with the dates 1902-1941 (with Malcom having done 71 missions from 1941). Therefore he did 39 missions. That makes for a total of 109 years, meaning he was 27 when he took over from his own father.

Then it's a double mistake because Grand-Santa himself specifically said "I did my 70 missions..."

Bishop73

He's senile though. He could just be exaggerating while forgetting it's literally written on the wall.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules picture

Other mistake: When Greg is looking at the video of Rowley sitting on the foil ball, he notices it has only 4 views on YouTube. However, if you look closely, it has 24,963 comments - impossible if it's only been viewed 4 times.

Suggested correction: YouTube is broken. This kind of thing actually does happen in real life quite frequently. In fact, a video I was just watching had that problem.

Suggested correction: The cop car is from Wisconsin because Officer Rhodes drove from Milwaukee to the wedding. It's implied Helen called and arranged for him to pick Annie up as a surprise.

Crazy, Stupid, Love picture

Other mistake: Jacob takes Cal shopping. In the shot during which Jacob says to Cal "the skin under your eyes is starting to look like Hugh Hefner's ball sack," the film is flipped and the viewer is watching a reverse (or mirror) image. This is revealed principally by the fact that the emblem on Cal's Polo shirt is on the right side of his chest as opposed to his left.

Cars 2 picture

Other mistake: In London, the red telephone boxes seen are human-sized, so it is impossible for them to be big enough for the cars to even get into.

Paul picture

Other mistake: When Graeme is convincing Ruth to go with them and she says "Where would I sleep?", you can see her left eyeball through the dark lens: it moves as she looks to her right twice and then back. In the next scene, it is shown that she doesn't have a visible eyeball in her left eye. (00:45:05)

Attack the Block picture

Other mistake: In the scene where they are all running down the stairs of the tower and going into their houses to get their weapons, Moses goes to the lowest floor of them all. Near the end of the film Moses tells Sam to go one floor down to go to his flat which can't be right as he went several floors down to his flat earlier.

Other mistake: To get revenge against the reds for chopping off his hat, Benny goes inside the house to use the computer to change the woman's lawn mower order. Benny never hits the 'ENTER' key to complete things. Things are completed when he steps on the 'SPACEBAR'. Same thing happens later when Benny is ordering a female flamingo.

A Monster in Paris picture

Other mistake: The protagonist uses his belt to temporarily fix the movie projector. He has to keep his pants on with his hands, but that's only until he has to grab an object and the pants do drop. Then he is still belt-less but the gag ran its course and his pants are not falling off anymore, once was enough.

Goon picture

Other mistake: During the montage for Ross Rhea, there's a clip on the teleprompter showing Ross fighting multiple members of the other team. In the clip, Ross is shown playing for the St. John's Shamrocks and fighting members of the Québec team, but the score ticker at the top of the screen shows the score "MTL 5 BOS 2", two teams in another league that have nothing to do with the game being played. (01:01:10)

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer picture

Other mistake: At the beginning of the thrill race, Judy announces that it is Tuesday, July 7th. If July 7th was on a Tuesday, August 4th (the day Rocky performs in the circus) would also be on a Tuesday. However, the fact that Judy and Stink went to a bigfoot meeting (and then had a stake out) the day before they chased bigfoot, found Mr. Todd, and went to the circus suggests that August 4th was actually a Wednesday, not a Tuesday, because Zeke says at the beginning that bigfoot meetings are on Tuesdays.

Monte Carlo picture

Other mistake: At the beginning of the trip we see close-ups of the passports of the three girls being stamped. The date is 19 Jun 2010. During the climax of the movie Emma's boyfriend puts a copy of "Le Parisien" on the counter, and the date there is Jun 10 2010. (00:12:00 - 01:26:20)
