Alien: Romulus picture

Continuity mistake: This film takes place after the events of "Alien." At the end of "Alien," the Nostromo is vaporized in a massive nuclear explosion, but in this film, massive chunks of it are found floating in space. Not to mention the fact that even if such giant pieces survived, they would have been propelled outward indefinitely and would not all be floating in the same confined area.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes picture

Plot hole: The movie, by various accounts, takes place 300 years after the apes took over and humans were rendered "dumb" (both literally and in the (non-PC), mute meaning of the word) or went underground. But yet they're making contact with a communication satellite. Satellites don't function for 300 years; they require occasional course corrections to keep from entering the atmosphere and burning up. Course corrections require propellant. The propellant wouldn't last 300 years. And the electronics.

Revealing mistake: When Elly is "skating" on the black oil while fighting the bad guys, we can see that it is Bryce Dallas Howard's stunt double in a few shots where it briefly shows her face.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare picture

Factual error: Ian Fleming explains to March-Phillipps that the U-boats need "fuel and torpedoes, but they also need carbon dioxide filters, for oxygen." U-boats didn't have CO2 filters. They had the air on board when they dived, which, along with the batteries supplying the electric motors they used when underwater, limited the time they could remain submerged. There were several instances of U-boats being forced to surface after long periods of being depth charged; their air supply had been exhausted. (00:12:00)

Continuity mistake: When the emotions grab onto the memory vacuum, Anger's left hand is holding the bottom of the vacuum, but in an instant cut, it's on the switch. (00:50:27)

Civil War picture

Audio problem: When inside Washington D.C. and the AH-64 is firing its gun, the sound is completely wrong. In the movie, it sounds like a laser gun, and in reality, it's a M230 chain gun, which sounds different.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F picture

Other mistake: When Abbott is talking to Axel for the first time, he is flipping through a book that has files and pictures on Axel. One of them is a picture from when he got arrested after he got thrown out of the window. It is made to look like it was a picture taken of him at the time of his arrest, but it is a direct screen grab from Beverly Hills Cop.

Factual error: The insignia on Staff Sgt. Branson's uniform is incorrect. The insignia on her camouflage blouse is for a US Army Staff Sgt, not a US Air Force Staff Sgt. (00:03:58)

Jackpot! picture

Continuity mistake: After the bad biker bites Noel, he removes the rearview mirror from the windshield and smacks the bad biker with it. However, when Noel tells Katie to drive the car, in the exterior shots as she sideswipes another car, the rearview mirror is back up on the windshield, then it's off again. (00:33:35)

Longlegs picture

Factual error: Near the end of the film, each time Harker pulls the trigger to shoot, the magazine doesn't spin to load a new bullet. This is especially noticeable when she tries to shoot the doll.

The Watchers picture

Factual error: She's driving down the highway, and her car suddenly and immediately dies, with no opportunity to pull off or park. When she gets out of the car, we see it sitting on the bare forest floor - not even a footpath, much less a road. 14. (00:14:30)

Love Lies Bleeding picture

Plot hole: Given contestants were carefully checked for steroids at show time, mainly by urine tests, it seems unlikely Jackie would have been allowed to compete once her steroid use was discovered.

From Russia with Lev picture

Factual error: Film is supposedly showing Hollywood circa 2010, but in a shot of Hollywood Blvd, the Dolby Theatre sign is visible. However, Dolby didn't get naming rights to the former Kodak Theatre until 2012. Also of note, a few seconds later, another shot of Hollywood Blvd is shown, this time with the Kodak lettering correctly visible. (00:01:00)

Factual error: The pilot of Air Force One, a Colonel, gets home. His shoulder insignias are turned ninety degrees from how they should be. In the next shot, it is corrected. Also, the "U.S." collar letters are at the wrong angle.
