Things from Another World picture

Continuity mistake: Mariso Golfetto is beginning a tirade about immigrants and assaults on women. A woman gets her drink from the barman, picking it up with her right hand, completing the movement. Reverse shot, and not only she repeats the gesture and still needs to pick up the glass, but she does it with her left hand. (00:07:00)

Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred picture

Continuity mistake: In the 'match' when he tags with John Cena, Fred is picked up by the rival vampire in a fireman's carry position (kinda like for Cena's Attitude Adjustment), but his head is over the opponent's right shoulder in the first, wide, shot and towards the left shoulder in close-up.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, protesters chase Harold through downtown traffic until he dives into his friend Todd's vehicle; whereupon the protesters urinate on Todd's windshield and splatter fecal matter across his driver's side window. For several scenes thereafter, the fecal splatter repeatedly changes shape, orientation and quantity on the side window, actually gaining mass in some shots.

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.

Another Happy Day picture

Revealing mistake: While Lynn is driving, the scenery outside the driver's side window goes white a few times and, other times, with intermittent specks of green tree leaves/shrubs. The white-outs are too low to be representing the sky. For a period of time, the lower third or so of her side window is a horizontal white bar. (00:02:20 - 00:03:38)

We Have a Pope picture

Continuity mistake: The designated Pope has just been visited by a physician. Three cardinals want to take a stroll outside for some sweets and arts. One of the cardinals stands and rebukes them; you can see that the cross on his chest has its chain caught in a button of the vest. During the rest of the scene the chain is caught in that button in the closer views and is loose in the wider angles. (00:23:50)

Cougars, Inc. picture

Plot hole: When Sam first encounters Dan, the headmaster, Dan reveals that he had to quit his musical career when he impregnated and married a groupie, but that he loved his daughter. Later, Sam runs into Courtney behind a liquor store, and Courtney, who is actually Dan's above-mentioned daughter, discusses her "aggro older brother". If Dan's original error in timing resulted in a daughter, how could she have an older brother?
