Mercenaries picture

Factual error: When the high-ups at the Pentagon are looking at the profiles of the terrorists, Ulrika's profile contains a minor spelling mistake ("Americas" instead of the possessive form), but the fun is in her henchman's file. The guy is named "Grigori Babishkova", which is laughable since "-ova" is the female suffix for Slavic last names, he should be "Babishkov." The Nationality field lists him as being "Russian/Caucasian." Caucasian is not a 'nationality'. (00:05:05)

Zombie Fight Club picture

Other mistake: After the longest introduction ever, a text crawl (in English in the original version too) details the event leading to the titular fight club. It says that the city fell "A PART" and the institution "IS COLLAPSED." Also, it warns us; "cannibalistic zombies are malformed." (00:59:30)

When a touchdown is scored and celebrations begin, number 6 takes her helmet off, revealing the face of the protagonist, Karidja Touré, who has long black hair in braids. (00:01:20 - 00:02:40)

Continuity mistake: Near the end, Thomas is saddling a horse. He throws the stirrup over the saddle so he can cinch the girth. But he is interrupted by the presence of the witch he loves. Somehow, the horse has had its girth cinched and the stirrup is in its proper place, all without Thomas' help.

P.K. picture

Character mistake: At the end of the movie, when Jaggu is listening to the sounds recorded by PK, the audio contains the question which she asked, "Tumhare planet pe sab aise hi hote, bade kan wale?" but does not contain the answer which PK gave, even though he was sitting right there. This seems to suggest that PK did not exist in the real world.

Goonie-Boys: Curse of the Mayan Coin picture

Continuity mistake: The dog the boys were trying to catch was facing the fence with his nose very close to it. After one of the boys threw a blanket (or piece of material) over the dog, the dog was facing them instead of the fence. Also, the dog was not as close to the fence and the background didn't appear to be the same. (00:06:07)
