The 355 picture

Continuity mistake: In the final battle, Lin Mi Sheng has her hair pinned up in a French twist. Her hair changes very frequently between shots and combat sequences. Sometimes it switches from a French twist to a slick chignon.

Sniper: Rogue Mission picture

Factual error: Mary Jane said, "I spent seven days in a pitch-black shipping container with no food or water and nine other girls." A human can go 2-3 days without water, but not 7. (00:37:18)

Strange World picture

Other mistake: When Jaeger is teaching Searcher how to throw. Through the scene Jaeger is handling Pando without gloves and Callisto is wearing fingerless gloves while also handling Pando. They should both have been shocked by the energy from the Pando. Jager is not immune, as he and Searcher are both shocked later by the Pando roots while using pickaxes to free the pando roots from the creature's heart later on in the movie.

Good Job!

The Woman King picture

Factual error: One of the warriors tells a trainee they move like a sloth, more than once. Sloths are only found in the "new world", not native to Africa.

Fortress: Sniper's Eye picture

Revealing mistake: Robert's upper body is leaning against a pillow with his adjustable bed at about a 60° angle, and stays at this angle when there are front views of him. After Paul arrives, views of Paul that include only part of Robert's stomach/torso show Robert lying at a lower angle, closer to 45°. Sometimes, the blanket representing where Robert's stomach would be is all that is included. Robert [Bruce Willis] probably was not present when front views of Paul were filmed. (00:25:09 - 00:25:33)

Poker Face picture

Revealing mistake: The aerial view showed it was not raining during the "supercar race", but the ground views showed at least two cars getting sprinkled on (one enough to turn on the wipers). When the camera shifted to road-level, the cars and road were dry. (Suggests filming at different times). (00:31:15 - 00:31:48)

Agent Game picture

Other mistake: Visser was face-to-face with Omar when she shot him in the neck (looked more like it would be in his mouth before the camera shift) yet she did not get any blood splatter on her shooting hand, face, or clothes. There also wasn't much blood on Omar considering he was hit with a near-contact if not actual contact shot. (00:45:41 - 00:47:12)

Bull Shark picture

Character mistake: Nolan said, "Everybody knows that no sharks swim in freshwater" and Spencer said, "They don't come into freshwater", but there are freshwater sharks (e.g, river sharks) and bull sharks (not true freshwater sharks) can survive in saltwater or freshwater. Jacob Harper (National Aquarium) pointed out eyewitness accounts of sharks swimming up the Mississippi River and "bull sharks have kidneys that recycle salt" but did not mention the glands near their tails that help keep salt in their bodies. (00:08:08 - 00:29:50)

Samaritan picture

Continuity mistake: How the Samaritan is sprawled on the road after getting hit by a car varies a few times. Particularly noticeable is the distance between his legs in the ground versus aerial views. (00:36:05)

Gasoline Alley picture

Other mistake: James told Det Vargas he left the bar "2:30, give or take" and Vargas responded, "bar closes at 2:30 [AM]." When Star approached James at the bar, she said, "When I see a guy alone at the bar at three in the morning..." It is questionable if Detective Vargas was correct about the closing time. Traditionally, bars in L.A. closed at 2:00 AM. CA's Business and Professional Code on serving alcoholic beverages apparently now allows serving alcohol until 3:00 (not 2:30) AM - was this in effect? (00:04:33 - 00:11:50)

Panama picture

Revealing mistake: The 50 dollar bills that appear in the opening credits all have the same serial number (and you can find online the texture they used with great ease, just like the one for the 20 dollar bills stack). (00:03:45)

Jurassic Domination picture

Continuity mistake: When Private Connors told the driver to "pull over", there was a grassy hill and trees to the left of the truck, but after the driver got out of the truck, there was a cement wall to his left (with grass visible above it). (00:02:30)

Renegades picture

Continuity mistake: There are two stand-up picture frames on the table. Judy knocks over one picture frame as she walks towards and points mace at Burton. Judy continues holding the mace in her right hand and purse in her left and does not bend over to upright the frame. When Judy leaves, the picture frame is upright and roughly parallel to the other frame. (00:25:45 - 00:27:20)

A Day to Die picture

Factual error: Pettis' calculation of the amount Connor needed to replace his asset was way off. He stated, "[Cornell] brought me about 250 [$250,000] a year. He had at least 20 more years of service. Subtract five years he might have spent in prison, so you owe me, what? Six point two million." Pettis was presented as intelligent, but a quick mental calculation of even the full 20 years at $250,000 would total only $5 million (not $6.2 - an odd sum). For 15 years, the total would be $3,750,000. (00:28:45)

The System picture

Other mistake: Savage wore a long chain-linked necklace and Chaka wore an even wider chain-linked necklace. Inmates are not permitted to keep personal items that can be used as weapons or a means to commit suicide. (00:16:10 - 01:21:15)
