Supercollider picture

Revealing mistake: Robin is running away from company investigators. He comes across a supposed wire link fence. He breaks it with his bare hands, and by the flapping of the open piece you can see it is made with strings not wire.

Combustion picture

Continuity mistake: Ari during the break from the party begins her seductive scheme; posing as a waitress at this guy's own engagement party, she approaches him while he is -for some reason - in the parking lot, makes him smoke a joint for the first time in front of his car, and kisses him - apparently all of this is super easy, barely an inconvenience. When she touches his face, she lowers her fingers from the chin at least 3 times in separate shots when she is whispering things to him. (00:11:50)

Matt's Chance picture

Continuity mistake: When Matt drops the pills onto the bathroom floor, the way they initially disperse is not how they are distributed when he kneels to scoop them up. After Matt uses his hands to sweep the pills toward himself, the number of pills on the floor to his right increases. (00:39:36)

The Marine 3: Homefront picture

Factual error: On the Miz's certificate of appreciation hanging on his refrigerator, the words "Department of Defence" are visible. "Defence" is the British spelling of the word defense, and any official U.S. military document with that word would have used the U.S. spelling. (00:14:30)

August: Osage County picture

Other mistake: Barbara and Violet are talking in the car after returning from the funeral and all of the windows are closed, even though great effort was made to convey the fact that temperatures were in excess of 100°. They spend three to four minutes talking in the car and neither even breaks a sweat, when in reality, they could not have sat in a closed car in that kind of midday heat for more than 30 seconds or so without becoming incredibly uncomfortable.

Factual error: When the protagonist is looking up the fingerprint (or fingertip...) data in the computer, he gets a match for a New York State Driver license. The document is a clear fake, with no document number (which in 2008 was on the front) and a 10 digits client ID number instead of 9 digits. (00:04:00)

Continuity mistake: When Paul Walker bends down to see his wife's body, the clock reads 09:47, however in the next scene, the time stamp on the movie shows 09:30am. (00:13:00 - 00:13:40)

All Things to All Men picture

Factual error: The black Range Rover used throughout the movie has the wrong licence plate. The third and fourth numbers on the plate (UK spec licence plate) are '0' and '9' which refers to the vehicle as being a 2009 spec. The Range Rover used in the movie was discontinued in 2006 and was replaced with the face lifted model which the one in the movie is not.

Atlantic Rim picture

Continuity mistake: As the movie ends, the heroes walk from the trashed red robot towards the ambulance & trucks, and the woman sitting in the ambulance has a blanket over her shoulders, then there's no blanket, then it's on her knees, then her shoulders, then it's gone...
