Bleed for This picture

Factual error: When Vinny Panzienza has his cervical halo brace removed (without anesthetics), he yells and groans and grunts in pain, but his hands are relaxed on the arms of the chair. I can tell you, from experience with this exact situation, the pain is so intense that his hands should have been clenched as tight as a vise.

Skiptrace picture

Continuity mistake: In the 3 wheeled vehicle, Bennie is driving and Conner says "Women do not go for that whole constipated Debbie Downer look." A shot shows Bennie's hair blowing wildly in the wind, then cuts to a view from Conner and suddenly Bennie's hair is straight and still, then cuts again and once again his hair is blowing. (00:39:45)

Sleight picture

Continuity mistake: The gang Bo is reluctantly part of gets to Maurice's crib where he is playing cards with his homies. The red jacketed one is defiant, and grabs a handful of red and blue chips in front of him tossing them in Angelo's face. But if you check out of the table in the wide shots before this occurs, you'll notice that red chips were never in the stack in front of him to begin with. (00:19:05)

Colossal picture

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Gloria hurls Oscar completely out of sight beyond the horizon, a huge crowd of South Koreans rush up directly behind Gloria, cheering and applauding, only a few feet away from her. The camera cuts to a frontal shot of Gloria, and now the crowd is 30 feet or more in the background.

Anthropoid picture

Factual error: The jacket blurb and plot synopsis for "Anthropoid" are historically and factually incorrect in stating that Heydrich was "third in command" of Nazi Germany. He was not; there was a chain of Nazi hierarchy above him and any historian of Nazi Germany will verify that. Unfortunately, Rotten Tomatoes perpetuates this inaccuracy by using the same jacket blurb in its own plot summary of the movie.

Death Al Dente: A Gourmet Detective Mystery picture

Continuity mistake: Maggie and Henry are on her couch, looking at pictures. They are arranged differently in close-up and wider angle; Claudia's for instance, as shown by the different position of the post-it. (00:55:50)

Sinbad and the War of the Furies picture

Continuity mistake: While Jax is held against the wall by two of the Furies it shows her bare feet held off the ground. As she moves across to Sinbad after he plunges the sword into the third Fury she is wearing flip-flops. (00:29:17 - 00:29:54)

Continuity mistake: The old man in the hotel lobby pulls the flowers out of the megaphone and calls the protagonist. She lowers the headset to talk to him. The left speaker is all the way across the opposite side of the neck in the first shot, less shifted to that side in close-up. (00:04:00)

Kill Ratio picture

Continuity mistake: After the credits, Tom Hopper sees and hears a bunch of helicopters and calmly walks indoors. He then addresses the waiter raising his left hand before the cut. In the next wide shot though we see him with a right hand raised that reaches for the champagne tray and grabs a glass. He says "Thank you" in a third shot, same angle as the first one, and in fact, the champagne flute is in his left hand now. (00:02:50)

Marauders picture

Continuity mistake: As the four bank robbers enter the bank, the shot employee is displaced to the left when he was driven straight backward and should have been in the middle. (00:03:04)

Warcraft picture

Revealing mistake: In the opening scenes, we see a very pregnant Draka reclining on a bed of animal hides as Durotan watches over her. In the extreme closeup, we see Draka twitch her lips, and her small tusks flex from side-to-side with her lips, instead of remaining firmly aligned with her jaw as they should.

A Kind of Murder picture

Continuity mistake: Walter tore out the newspaper article ("Body of Woman Found at Greenland Rest Stop") fairly neatly/evenly; it was relatively straight across the top, though a little jagged as could be expected. When Walter looked at the article some time later, the jagged top was worse and there was MORE space between it and the title. The right side also appeared to be more jagged than it was and include a little more of the article that was to its right before being torn off. (00:07:03 - 00:13:37)

Continuity mistake: The chef at the airport stabs someone, but the knife blade is clean afterwards; moments later he stabs it through the valise, and it is covered in blood.

Don't Kill It picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the hunter is looking for his dog. The rifle on his shoulder keeps changing position, being upside down or not - which is easy to spot because of the big scope. (00:01:30)

Captain Fantastic picture

Factual error: Viggo is "playing" the bagpipes on the wrong side. They should be under his left arm, not his right. He is also not blowing hard enough to make the required sound. They sound good, though.
