The Lighthouse picture

Continuity mistake: After being buried alive, Wake returns to attack Howard with a pick. There isn't a speck of dirt on him.

Skyfire picture

Revealing mistake: A lot of the CGI was quite good and, even if not totally realistic, was interesting and exciting to watch. However, the man supposedly rappelling (or abseiling) down the mountainside was obviously not there - his feet didn't touch the mountain. (00:36:10)

The Endless Trench picture

The Lodge picture

Other mistake: There is a wall mounted mailbox on the interior side of the deck wall, not easily accessible to a mail carrier. Wall mounted mailboxes are typically placed on or next to the front door or a more accessible location. The location of Richard's house would also question why a roadside mailbox was not required. (00:03:35)

The Parts You Lose picture

Continuity mistake: After Wesley has intimidated the snot bully, he comes back home and finds the police. Sitting at the table, his mom holds his arm and says "Wesley, Mr. Chambers asked you a question." Mary Elizabeth Winstead has her right arm on the table, close to her body. Change of angle and she is holding the coffee mug instead. (00:45:10)

The Devil Has a Name picture

Factual error: Attorney Aegis inappropriately rounded up/down a couple common statistics pertaining to the infamous Ford Pinto case, which resulted in a total that didn't add up: "it would cost the company $11 per Pinto to fix the problem. But with 12 million [should be 12.5] of 'em on the road, that would cost $137 million compared with $50 million [should be 49.5] to maintain the status quo. $137 million to fix a $50 million problem..." But 12 million x $11 = $132 million [not $137 million]. (00:24:38)

Astronaut picture

Continuity mistake: When Angus arrived at his room in the retirement home, there were two lamps on night stands to the right of the bed; they were on adjacent walls and 3 - 4' away from the corner. When Angus returned to his room and was sitting on the bed, the two lamps and stands had been pushed very close to the corner and each other. The yellow lamp might not have even been on a night stand - it appeared to extend out of the chair rail molding (or wall trim). (00:16:08 - 00:19:38)

The Art of Racing in the Rain picture

Continuity mistake: Enzo's red tag hanging from his collar usually can be seen, but he did not appear to be wearing the red tag outside when Eve told Denny she was pregnant or when sitting in the bleachers with Eve at a race. (00:19:48 - 00:21:09)

July Rising picture

Plot hole: The movie takes place over a period of a couple of months (from full-grown pears to harvest time). Grandpa may be in arrears with the bank when he dies, but the bank cannot repossess and sell the orchard/farm within such a short period of time. The property has to go through probate, which can take several months, if not 1-2+ years. Determining the validity of the will and issues related to minor Andy inheriting the estate takes much more time to settle.

Troop Zero picture

Continuity mistake: When we see Christmas Flint with her dad and Miss Rayleen for the first time, she's watching them bicker, her chin perched on the back of her hand. Which hand, though? It's her left hand for the greater part of the scene, but in the shot when Jim Gaffigan is saying "I got to find my pants. You move my pants?" it's the right one. (00:05:00)

Coyote Lake picture

Continuity mistake: Mario was chewing a mouthful, then lifted his drink to wash down the food, but when the camera shifted, he was back to chewing a mouthful. (00:01:59)

Continuity mistake: In the sequence with the pigeon that tries to topple the severed hand off the gutter, twigs are right next to its fingers or not, depending from the angle. (00:06:35)

Factual error: The German character plays a record on his gramophone 'Four Last songs' by Richard Strauss, composed in 1948. The film is set in 1945-46.

More The Aftermath mistakes

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the waitress notices that Emilio for the first time in years has not completed his Sudoku yet. The sequence begins with her stopping by him and waving her hand, upturned, but the hand is then on his shoulder. She repeats the gesture at the cut. (00:01:50)
