The Hunger Games picture

Other mistake: The video stream displayed in the night sky showing which tributes have died after the first day does not add up correctly. They display in district order. We see the start, the girl from three (so the boy is still alive), and the boy from four with no breaks. Then they break away to show Katniss and the control room, after which they continuously show the boy and girl from seven, the boy from eight (so the girl is still alive), the girl from nine (so the boy is still alive), and then fade to the end. We know that Foxface, the girl from five, dies later in the movie. Even if we assume that during the portion not shown, the girl from four, the boy from five, and both tributes from six are dead, that's only a total of ten. Thirteen are supposed to be dead at that point in the movie. (01:16:20)

Battleship picture

Other mistake: When Alex Hopper is being tasered and arrested for robbing the convenience store, you can see his shirt is almost clean on his back. But he fell on the bottles and sodas rack in the store, the shirt should have stains.

Prometheus picture

Other mistake: In the scene with the crashed escape pod, everything inside is upended with books and stuff strewn everywhere. Yet there is a bottle of Vodka sitting perfectly upright on the bar in the background.

Skyfall picture

Other mistake: In the opening scene where Moneypenny is holding the rifle, you can see the flash suppressor was installed upside down. The 'slots' are on the bottom. (00:10:35)

Other mistake: The video game company NAMCO Bandai is misspelled twice as "NAMECO Bandai" in the end credits, although fixed in the home video version.

The Dark Knight Rises picture

Other mistake: When Catwoman and Batman are fighting Bane's henchmen on the rooftop, pay close attention to the guys in the background right before Batman knocks Catwoman's gun away: you can see that the henchman well out of Batman's reach on the far left falls over like he's been hit by a punch, but he couldn't be. Also, no gunshots are heard at that point, so he couldn't have been shot either. (00:53:30)

Total Recall picture

Other mistake: When Melina picks up Quaid on "I19", the car seat is an integral part of the door. When Quaid gets out of the car after crashing on the street, the seat is an integral part of the chassis.

Men in Black 3 picture

Other mistake: When J is falling from the Chrysler building, the soles of his CGI shoes are completely black, brand new and spotless, which is impossible unless he got up there flying or changed his shoes in mid-air. (00:36:00)

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island picture

Other mistake: Big animals are small and small animals are big on the island, but Alexander has fireflies in a jar at his treehouse. If animal sizes are reversed on the island, the fire flies should be very large, similar to the bees that show up later in the movie.

The Amazing Adventures of the Living Corpse picture

Other mistake: After John kills the Crypt Eater master, the camera quickly zooms away through the grave yard. You can see two graves close together have the exact same tombstone bearing the name Anthony Miller, born 1955. (00:48:50)

Safe House picture

Other mistake: The caption onscreen when the C.I.A. Headquarters are shown reads "Langely, Virginia". It should be Langley. [Might be Netflix only].

The Bourne Legacy picture

Other mistake: When Aaron Cross watches the wolf pack take down a caribou early in the movie, and we get a through the scope view. Amazingly he does this with the lens covers closed.

Resident Evil: Retribution picture

Other mistake: When Alice pushes in the new magazine, she doesn't pull back on the slide, meaning the gun doesn't have a new bullet in the chamber, thus is unable to shoot.

Foodfight! picture

Other mistake: To save Sunshine from the general, Dex pulls on a rug to make sure the general falls backwards. However, Sunshine was also sitting on a chair on the same rug, but both her and the chair are unaffected by the rug being pulled. (01:14:05)

Jack Reacher picture

Other mistake: In the scene where James Barr is shown shooting the four men during the war his rifle movement is inconsistent with where the targets were. He took aim at the man furthest away in a line. His rifle would have to move down as he shot each person moving down the line. Instead his rifle moves down then up and up again etc. Even if the targets decided to run after the first shot the rifle movement is inconsistent.

Looper picture

Other mistake: When Joe shoots the boy at the back of the house, he walks to the front at the same time a woman a few feet away walks toward him with a pram, and there are people in the background. There is no reaction from anyone to the obviously loud gun shot noise - his gun did not have a silencer on it.

The Cold Light of Day picture

Other mistake: When Will is in the club and Lucia's friend is checking his wound she feels around to see if the bullet is still inside his body. She says the bullet is not there so cauterises the wound. Will does not have an exit wound so the bullet must, therefore, still be inside.

Underworld: Awakening picture

Other mistake: Throughout the saga, blood has been shown as essential for vampire's healing factor, and Selene herself used her blood to heal people. Somehow, this time around neither her or her pal David think in any way of this basic fact, making a complicated trip to the vampire doctor necessary, who simply feeds the vampire kid some blood, the very first thing any vampire would do to regain strength.

Bait picture

Other mistake: When Steve, wearing his improvised shark cage, heads underwater to turn off a relay to prevent the others from being electrocuted by a falling wire, he is shown breathing through a snorkel taped to several metres of hose, open at the surface end. In reality, human lungs can't expand enough to pull fresh air through more than a couple of feet of hose. That's why diving hookahs use an air pump to feed air from the surface to the regulator mouthpiece.
