Appleseed Alpha picture

Plot hole: The main plot of the film involves Iris and Olson's mission: Destroying the Mobile Fortress 000. But Iris is a special gynoid. Her primary function is to activate the Mobile Fortress. The antagonist of this film could unleash calamity if he had Iris and the fortress. So, which idiot has sent Iris on this mission? The logical course was to send a demolition team, or better yet, send no-one at all. Anything is better than sending the activation key outside the safety of the Olympus.

Continuity mistake: When Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and his friend are talking to the fraternity brother to have him wear glasses to get evidence of their hazing, Rose Byrne sticks her fingers in the whipped cream of the guy's sundae and licks her finger. In the shot from behind, she sticks her index finger into the whipped cream. But she licks it off her middle finger.

Joy Ride 3 picture

Other mistake: When Jordan drops Rusty's truck into the compactor, the excavator and its claw seem just too small for the job. You can see the truck has been sawed shorter as the truck's rear axles stay on the ground while the cab goes in the compactor. There is no possible way for the truck to snap in half like that when lifted. This small excavator would just simply have flipped over trying to raise the truck by the engine compartment.

The Legend of Hercules picture

Continuity mistake: Hercules and Tarak are sitting together talking and Hercules pulls out the necklace that his lover gave him as he reassures Tarak that he will get them to Greece. In one shot he is looking down at it in his hands, then the next shot his head is suddenly leaning back against Tarak. (00:37:45)

JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time picture

Plot hole: Once Time Trapper has been stopped by Dawnstar and the time vortex in the sky stops sucking things up, everything in the air just hovers unmoving completely. Except for the people. Somehow Batman and Robin and Superman are able to move around just fine in the same time and gravity frozen place, Robin even jumps from hovering rock to rock without them moving. In fact, as soon as the sucking stops, the tree that Karate Kid is hanging onto stops moving and does not fall, but gravity somehow instantly affects Karate Kid and he almost falls off the tree and has to catch on again. It makes no sense at all for the objects to be affected and stand still and the heroes to not be.

Walk of Shame picture

Continuity mistake: Meghan is at the initial meeting with the TV execs. During the scene, the pens in front of the various board members change position between shots, and in the cut that follow her suggestive "hold them steady" hand-pumping, the woman with the light brown sweater is first with her hands off the table, then suddenly on it. (00:03:15)

Walking on Sunshine picture

Continuity mistake: Maddie and Taylor are talking about Maddie being over her previous fiance (that Taylor knows of). Taylor has the hair on her right side tucked into her jacket, but next time the camera is on her, her hair is neatly arranged over the shoulder. Similarly, her hair on the left shoulder changes position between shots just before Maddie drags her out to meet their plus-size friend. (00:06:20)

Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day picture Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day mistake picture

Character mistake: When Mr. Rogue is spinning the globe to assign countries to the students he spins for Albert Morio, and he puts his finger just west of North America and says "Lebanon." Lebanon is in Asia, slightly northeast of Egypt and we can see Egypt on the globe on the other side of where his finger is at. He's nowhere near Lebanon.

The Salvation picture

Continuity mistake: The sheriff wears his badge over his left side, which is traditional. As he is approaching on horse in the final scene of the movie it is still on his left side. Then for a few seconds in one shot his badge is on the right. (01:23:10)

It Follows picture

Audio problem: Jay's friends are playing Old Maid on the porch at night. Her sister asks the guy to pass her the spiked soda. She drinks and then puts the can down. Several seconds pass, but in the next shot Paul retrieves the can reacting to it as if the girl just put it down - in fact there is even a metallic sound, which is impossible consider Kelly's movements and Yara talking between shots. (00:22:00)

Pride picture

Factual error: About 20 minutes in, the group find a Welsh miners' group in the phone book. The character who is making the call speaks the first two digits of the phone number: "0, 1,..." The movie is set in 1984, when the dialling code for that district was "0639" In that year, "01" was the code for London, not Wales.

Extraterrestrial picture

Revealing mistake: At the end when April and Kyle are killed, they are thrown in a hole back first. When they are shown, they are neatly positioned beside each other. April even has her knees bent up and Kyle has his arm around her waist meaning they obviously positioned themselves for the final shot.
