A Quiet Place Part II picture

Continuity mistake: At the market, Lee picks out five pieces of fruit (one apple and four oranges?), tears a produce bag off, and walks away. He takes a few steps off-screen, and he is next seen going around an end cap and walking down an aisle, with nine pieces of fruit in the produce bag. (00:01:36)

Monster Hunter picture

Other mistake: Capt Artemis offers Tony Jaa's hunter character an intact partial Hershey bar that she pulls from her pants pocket. The film takes place in a brutally hot desert that would've turned that chocolate bar into chocolate goo not long after the start of the film. If the heat hadn't melted the bar, it would've been smooshed by the continuous hand-to-hand combat between the two characters. (00:45:22)

Unhinged picture

Deliberate mistake: The "flow" from Fred (Rachel's brother) urinating while strapped to a chair was not what would be expected. His pants would absorb the urine, so urine would not flow to the floor like from a faucet or large streams drip straight down and form a puddle beneath him. (00:57:06)

Spenser Confidential picture

Factual error: The Corvette owned by Bentwood is not a Z06 as shown in the movie. It is a 2014 C7 Stingray and can be identified by the Stingray logo on the side of the car.

Continuity mistake: A pile of drugs gets blasted up with powder flying everywhere yet there's none on the ground seconds later.

Continuity mistake: The girl that wanted her bully in high school to be tortured filmed the torturing with an iPhone XR then was later holding an iPhone X before the movie ended.

Promising Young Woman picture

Factual error: SPOILERS! While the ending of Al being arrested for murder at his own wedding is dramatic and cathartic, it wouldn't have happened that way. There's no way that the cops would have known to search the wooded area near the cabin; they would have needed to find physical evidence linking the cabin to Al; they would have needed to establish that Al had no alibi for the time in question; etc. None of that would have happened that quickly or that quietly.

The Croods: A New Age picture

Other mistake: In The Croods, Guy was handing out bananas and gave one to Grug, which he threw away. But in this film, he does everything to get this mystical fruit that he hasn't had since his childhood.

The Last Thing He Wanted picture

Factual error: The USMC Embassy Guard is an enlisted Marine Sgt. He is wearing a Commissioned USMC Officer's cover (hat) that has gold braid and gold oak leaf motifs on the visor. (01:20:15)

The Willoughbys picture

Continuity mistake: Tim is showing the Nanny's phone to the others. He plays the message from his parents, but does it tapping the bottom part of the touchscreen, while the media file and its "play" button as established in previous views, is at the top. Likewise, when he turns towards Jane asking "Do you want to be taken care of?" he is pointing at the bottom of the device, but in the reverse shot his finger is at the top. (00:43:30)

Ghosts of War picture

Factual error: The soldiers had 506 Regiment's helmet markings of the 101st Airborne, and on their sleeves the 82nd Airborne and 1st Division shoulder patches.

The Christmas Chronicles 2 picture

Revealing mistake: During the dance number in the airport, Santa grabs a security guard who then starts break dancing. It's obvious this dancer is a stunt double as he's younger and skinnier than the real guard.

Mighty Oak picture

Other mistake: Vaughn was sleeping in the back seat of the van with his head leaning on Gina's shoulder. When the collision occurred, his body somehow straightened up and went head first between the front bucket seats, through the front windshield, and he was ejected/killed. Based on his sleeping position in the van, he should have rolled forward and been kept in the back seat by hitting the front seats. A sleeping person is also less likely to be injured/killed because the body doesn't stiffen preparing for impact. If the accident actually happened as portrayed in the movie, Vaughn's body should have had visible cuts and be covered in blood, not just have a small amount of blood coming out of the side of his mouth. (00:07:53)

Capone picture

Factual error: While on the fishing boat, the flag flown has 50 stars, while the movie is set in 1941. The US didn't have 50 states, and thus that flag, until 1959. (00:30:08)

More Capone mistakes
Eat Wheaties! picture

Other mistake: The email that starts it all for Sid Straw, the announcement from the University of Pennsylvania that he has been chosen to serve on the reunion planning committee, starts off with a nonsensical sentence that no one from U Penn would have ever typed. It's obviously the product of a studio runner whose work no one bothered to proofread. (00:01:15)

The Hunt picture

Continuity mistake: The characters are on a tile floor that has one yellow tile visible among the black and white tiles. The next shot they're in a different spot on the floor with two yellow tiles visible. (01:22:10)

Project Power picture

Visible crew/equipment: While on the Genesis, when Robin finds Frank she asks if he's bulletproof, then Alpha 5 contacts ops to open hatch 26, and as Frank and Robin walk over to the monitor, a white T-mark is visible on the floor. (01:20:40)

Let Him Go picture

Factual error: The Blackledges' car has a license plate that starts with 34. Montana uses the first two numbers on their plates to identify the county that the driver lives in. 34 is the number for Sheridan County which is in northeastern Montana where there are no mountains in sight, but the Blackledge ranch is set near the foothills of a mountain range as you would see in western Montana.
