Zack Snyder's Justice League picture

Other mistake: After realising they can track the mother box, Batman says they have to go back to his base to use one of his satellites to track it, and they all do so. Which completely ignores the fact that Cyborg could easily access the satellite feed directly using his abilities and display it to the others on any nearby screen in Star Labs.

Suggested correction: Just because he had many options available to him, does not mean that the option which he chose was wrong.

The Suicide Squad picture

Other mistake: Despite being a deadly marksman (only a few minutes earlier in the movie he stopped a bullet directed at him shooting it off the air), Bloodsport snipes several times at the huge kaiju featuring a massive eye in the central part of its body, and never once hits it. (01:51:45)

Black Widow picture

Other mistake: Black Widow and her sister steal a BMW. Getting away they damage the left rear quarter. A few cuts later they show the car again and it has no damage to the left rear quarter. (00:40:15)

Risen picture

Other mistake: Soldiers are shown wearing camouflage BDUs. They have an American flag sewn on their right sleeve. But the flag is of the wrong type. When a flag is worn on the right sleeve, the field of stars faces the front. In this scene their flags have the field of stars to the rear. Those flags are meant to be worn on the left sleeve. It is a tradition that dates back to the 1860s. (00:57:33)

Spider-Man: No Way Home picture

Other mistake: Sandman AKA Flint Marko is the first of the villains to be changed back at the Statue of Liberty fight, and he is told by Peter to stay inside the head to be safe. Seconds later Electro discharges a massive electric surge onto the statue head, which is made of bronze, which is a good electric conductor. Marko should not have survived that. (01:47:40 - 01:48:10)

Suggested correction: It's made of a good conductor that would protect him like a faraday cage if anything. (Almost) all the energy would go through the metal, not the less conductive person.

A faraday cage is very sophisticated, calculated, engineering to block electromagnetic fields. You can't accidentally have a faraday cage.

Outside the Wire picture

Other mistake: In the scene with Harp facing the hostage takers between the 2 trucks full of GUMPs, Harp's rifle has no trigger. (01:04:00)

The Matrix Resurrections picture

Other mistake: Neo and Trinity are pushed by a horde of zombie-like bots inside a "kill-zone." A helicopter fires rockets at them. In the wide angle of the cars blowing up, the second pair of cars explodes without any rocket CGI effect added. It's like they just blow up spontaneously. (02:06:25)

Prisoners of the Ghostland picture

Other mistake: Hero drove his car through a line of armored men and crashed onto rocks along a cement wall. Two days later when he returned to his car with gasoline (where one of his bombs exploded by the car), there was smoke and dust blowing through the air all around yet views of his car showed it was perfectly clean - shiny black. (00:52:35)

Apex picture

Other mistake: When the helicopter was flying toward and over Apex Island, the helicopter (as well as the similarly-sized box) was about 1/10 or 1/12 the width of the island. In the next view, from almost ground-level, the helicopter was about as wide as one pine tree. (00:10:30)

Last Survivors picture

Other mistake: It is highly unlikely that Troy's body would have ended up on his back that far away from the side of the house and facing the window Jake pushed him out of. (01:27:10 - 01:27:35)

Space Sweepers picture

Other mistake: When Tae-ho and Kot-nim are discovered hiding in the air vent and the two of them are scanned, Tae-ho's personal information profile lists his date of birth as "2062.09.19", but later when Sullivan is looking through the profiles of each of the crew members, Tae-ho's birth date is listed as 06/19/2058. (01:14:40 - 01:22:20)

Venom: Let There Be Carnage picture

Other mistake: When Eddie reads Kasady's letter, it's obvious that the whole speech can't fit inside the postcard. Moreover, parts of it don't even make sense since Eddie could never "see" the part about Shriek; he knows nothing about her at that point of the movie. Finally, either way when we see him read the letter, the parts shown don't match the narration; for instance when he gets to the part about Kasady's heart stopping, it is on the part of the postcard opposite of the one he's 'reading'. (00:24:25)

Dinosaur Hotel picture

Other mistake: The bottle of alcohol (whiskey?) and glass on Morgan's bookcase appear to be the same as the ones the Game Master has in his office; the bottle is emptied to the same level (too similar to be a coincidence). (00:03:23 - 00:06:57)

Zone 414 picture

Other mistake: Jane's top includes a scarf that is wrapped around her neck a few times. She starts to remove the scarf by unwrapping it clockwise. When the camera shifts, and she resumes unwrapping the scarf, she goes counterclockwise. (00:20:55)

Armageddon Tales picture

Other mistake: Joshua kept on his thick leather gloves (with side stitching, adding width) while playing the piano yet didn't have any difficulty hitting the right keys. The added width to his fingers from this type of gloves should have interfered with his accuracy hitting the notes and keeping the tempo - the part of Chopin's "Nocturnes" he played was allegro (fast). (00:30:00 - 00:31:10)

Dune picture

Other mistake: When the injured woman put her bloody right hand over Leto's left shoulder, her fingers were initially curved around his shoulder then slid down. The bloody handprint (too "neat") ended up being lower on his shirt/lapel than would be expected and there was no blood on top of his shoulder or smear downward, which would be impossible. (01:18:00)

Snake Eyes picture

Other mistake: While Snake Eyes is fighting at the beginning of the film, the other guy throws him to a block of concrete. Snake hits on his head and should be dead by then or at least seriously injured.

Stowaway picture

Other mistake: When Zoe Levenson first looks out the window from the spaceship, the earth is from the bottom moving towards the top, this is opposite to the ship spinning direction, which can be determined by the direction of the gravity. (00:12:50)
