Creed picture Creed mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: While Donnie is training at Front Street Gym, when Rocky repeats, "One step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time," the closeup of two children watching from outside the ring is a flipped shot, note the backwards Nike swoosh logo and Everlast ring rope spacer. (00:53:05)

Brooklyn picture

Factual error: The year is 1952. In an exterior scene, Saoirse Ronan is seen on a street in Brooklyn. In the far background, a red "WALK/DON'T WALK" sign is flashing. This type of sign was only introduced across NY in the late 50s.

Carol picture

Factual error: There seem to be modern "Walk" and "Don't Walk" signs at each intersection. This film is supposed to take place in 1952. Also it is mentioned there are "Stereophonic" consoles in the motel rooms. Probably would not find those until at best the late 50s.

In the Heart of the Sea picture

Spooks: The Greater Good picture

Revealing mistake: Right at the beginning of the film "rain" is falling on the car the camera shows before it moves to focus into the tunnel. However, look at the cars behind it, they aren't wet at all and it's visibly sunny. It's water being poured onto the car directly in front of the camera.

Blackhat picture

Dragon Blade picture

Factual error: Near the end, Jackie Chan's vastly-outnumbered forces resort to throwing stones to somehow utterly destroy a phalanx of Roman legionnaires in close-quarter combat. This scene flies in the face of what we know about Roman military superiority in the time of Tiberius. The Roman Army was the best-trained, best-organized, best-equipped military force of the Ancient World, specializing in tireless close-quarter combat and impenetrable defense. To suggest that Jackie Chan's frantic and disorganized group of fighters (throwing stones by hand) might overcome Roman legionnaires is like suggesting that cave men might overcome the modern U.S. Marine Corps.

Visible crew/equipment: When Bryson and Katz are getting onto the Greyhound bus, a guy in a fluorescent jacket can be seen holding traffic up in the distance whilst the scene is filmed.

Other mistake: Ma and Jack bake a cake, but there is no way of doing this as they have no oven - only a work top hob and a grill.

More Room mistakes
A Royal Night Out picture

Factual error: Jack is addressed by everyone as 'Airman', not as the correct 'Corporal'. The rank of Airman does not even exist in the RAF.

Land of Mine picture Land of Mine mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, the Sergeant pulls his jeep over and headbutts a prisoner who is carrying a Danish flag, seizing it. In the following shot he has his arms open and shoves away another prisoner, no flag in his hands. Next shot, he's standing by the bleeding prisoner, folded flag in hand. (00:02:25)

Woodlawn picture

Continuity mistake: In the locker room scene after Tony injures his knee, Tony walks outside the room crying and he then throws his helmet against a wall, causing the chin strap to fall off onto the floor in front of the the doors. When the coach walks in through the door, the chin strap has disappeared. When the coach and Tony hug, look just behind the coach's right arm. You can see a quick glimpse of the chin strap back on the floor where it was before.
