Drive picture

Other mistake: In the pre-credit scenes when the chopper spots the runaway car, Driver guns it (he clenches his jaw, fists and you hear the engine revving and gears changing) but he never catches up with the two cars only a few feet in front of him (which are proceeding at normal speed) for the whole length of the bridge.

Fast Five picture

Other mistake: Throughout the entire chase scene at the end, the vault creates sparks on the road. Yet when they get to the bridge, no sparks appear. This cannot be due to the vault being empty at this point, as the vault itself is 10 tonnes, as mentioned earlier in the film. (01:49:00)

In Time picture

Other mistake: Will did not have enough time to place into the pot at the poker game. For those at the end of a hand, they each have contributed a minimum of an equal percent based on the number of people in the hand. There were potentially 5 people at the start of the hand, and Will did not have enough to cover 20% of the final pot. He would have needed well over 200 years available, and we know he had a little over 100.

Other mistake: In Moriarty's college study, the white King and Queen chess pieces are actually on the wrong squares. Queen starts on her own color.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Lisbeth gets off her bike before going up for her meeting with Dirch Frode and his associate, if you look at her helmet quickly as she's taking it off, her mohawk is perfectly intact, showing no sign of being squashed by her crash helmet. (00:06:15)

Trespass picture

Other mistake: Succinylcholine paralyses you for about 10 minutes; in the movie it lasts way longer, and the bad guys were planning to use it instead of ropes and cuffs. It would have bought them a really short time, surely insufficient to make their planned escape to Mexico, while tying them up with just about anything (zip ties, scotch tape) would have given them potentially hours.

The Green Hornet picture

Other mistake: When the TV reporter is talking about the men in green being killed, she says dead bodies were found all through the city, at night. However she was reporting on the 7 bodies found (with the appropriate graphic). According to the newspaper, the 7 bodies were found by police in the morning, in one dumpster. Plus, we know when a thug killed a man in green he or she brought the body in, so they weren't found throughout the city. (And she wasn't reporting on bystanders being killed since she mentions they were all wearing green).

The Double picture

Other mistake: A colleague approaches Ben, picks up a newspaper, and tries to pronounce Volkskrant. Ben gives the correct pronunciation, tells him it's a Dutch newspaper. However, the top of the newspaper is visible and says Trouw, a different Dutch newspaper. (00:40:00 - 00:43:00)
