Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City picture

Deliberate mistake: In the pitch dark mansion dining room, the approaching zombie's screams are instantly interrupted by silence whenever the flame from Chris' lighter goes out, and then the screams instantly resume when the light returns. While this is obvious artistic license, for the record the level of darkness would have no bearing on whether we can hear the zombie screaming.

The Suicide Squad picture

Deliberate mistake: When King Shark grabs the guard from behind and eats him, he screams loudly, but nobody reacts to it, not even his buddy who just went left to fetch a drink. Later Cena and Elba kill 'silently' every other guard, but when they get to a group of three that Bloodsport yo-yos to death, it's pretty impossible that those three could have missed the carnage just a little off to the left. Then again, at the end a whole tower gets demolished without anyone noticing, so It'has to be deliberate. (00:33:05)

Fast & Furious 9 picture

Deliberate mistake: After jumping off the cliff, Dom and Letty's car rolls over violently several times and finally lands on its wheels. Letty sits calmly, safe and sound, not a single scratch or bruise despite not wearing her seatbelt and having survived by just grasping the handlebar above her head.

Trigger Point picture

Deliberate mistake: Louis says to his opponent "Glock 17, 17 rounds." The opponent says back "I lost count." In modern semi-automatic handguns, especially Glocks, after the last round is fired the slide stays permanently open till a new magazine is inserted and slide is racked, or the slide stop lever is manipulated (depressed down). The slide can be closed on an empty magazine as well by the slide stop lever. (01:11:00 - 01:11:30)

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse picture

Deliberate mistake: The Glock pistol the dying Russian assassin attempts to fire clicks, symbolizing it's out of ammo, or had a malfunction such as failure to ignite primer which is extraordinarily unlikely. His action symbolized a dry weapon. When a modern handgun in particular a Glock runs dry, the slide stop lever engages the slide and leaves the slide open until a new magazine is inserted and the slide is racked or the slide stop is pushed down. On a dry Glock the trigger can't be pressed until the slide is cocked. (00:16:45 - 00:17:30)

Venom: Let There Be Carnage picture

Deliberate mistake: When Kasady and his symbiote are fighting for control at the bell tower, they are reflected inside Venom's eyes...who is lying on his back in the middle of the cathedral and is nowhere near and at the totally wrong angle for a reflection like that to happen. (01:15:50)

The Virtuoso picture

Deliberate mistake: The Virtuoso (up several stories in a building) would not be able to hear what the boy and his mother across the street were saying. The boy even started to say "Hey, mom" when he was still exiting the building. (00:11:41)

Way Down picture

Deliberate mistake: When James started to fall off the ladder, he tried to jump to reach the other side. Thom grabbed his right hand with his and was able to pull him to safety. James' weight and the force with which he jumped and swayed would have most likely resulted in James pulling Thom over the edge with him, and both being seriously injured or killed. (01:22:26)

Take Back picture

Deliberate mistake: The "Sixth Street Coffee" surveillance video footage of Zara disarming the barista's determined ex-boyfriend was different from the actual event when shown on Audrey's cell phone (recorded from TV news). The most obvious difference was that Zara never held the gun with both hands behind her and making a circular motion over her head before aiming at the man she had kicked to the floor. (00:08:10 - 00:09:45)

Infinite picture

Deliberate mistake: Nora's car smashed through the (almost floor-length) windows in the police station and exited the building airborne - and stayed airborne long enough to clear a police car parked alongside the building (or curb). (00:27:05)

Hard Hit picture

Deliberate mistake: The view looking out the windshield showed the man on the bicycle had stopped when he was in front of the car's passenger side, but the outside view showed the man still coming to a stop and then tilting his bicycle. (00:07:12)
