Gladiator II picture Gladiator II mistake picture

Factual error: After the naval battle, Thraex is waiting for an informant who tips him off about Lucilla and Marcus Acacius's plans. And of course, as a well-educated gentleman of 200 AD, he kills time by reading the newspaper. Wait, what? Needless to say (to anyone but Ridley Scott, probably), ancient Romans wouldn't/couldn't exactly get their news by newspaper, the press having not been invented yet. This one looks so modern in its layout it even has headlines and a proper publication title, "Roma Viridia."

Alien: Romulus picture

Other mistake: When they raise the temperature of the room with the facehuggers in, once the room is at body temperature, they open the door onto the much colder corridor. This would have immediately dropped the temp in the facehuggers' room.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes picture

Factual error: 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.

Dune: Part Two picture

Continuity mistake: When Jessica kills the sniper with the rock at the beginning, the sniper's body is lying dead on the ridge. When she shuffles down the dune to speak to Paul, mere seconds later, the sniper's body is no longer there. (00:09:04)

Argylle picture

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.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Beetlejuice is first introduced, right before we see him, the camera rotates around the model and the sign above the grave lights up. Right before the sign lights up, you can ever-so-subtly see a part of the camera's shadow move over the model. It's subtle and easy to miss, but once you see it, it's pretty obvious.

Continuity mistake: Lady Raven arrives at the Coopers' place and starts talking to the wife. Cooper's watch is set to 1:35. An instant cut later it's set to 1:20.

Inside Out 2 picture Inside Out 2 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Deep Dark Secret breaks the jar to free the emotions, look at where the emotions are standing, and how the huge piece of glass lands behind them. In about three seconds, the piece of glass changes position, and some of the emotions switch places. (00:33:08)

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)

Conclave picture

Factual error: The Torre delle Milizie is visible from the courtyard in the Vatican and looks fairly close. You can't even see the tower from the Vatican. It's quite a long way away.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 picture

Continuity mistake: GUN was formed during the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. In the Knuckles series, the Buyer stated that GUN had existed long ago, under a different name. However, in the flashback in Sonic 3, the door of the laboratory that Shadow was in has the GUN logo.

Elevation picture

Plot hole: ***SPOILER ALERT*** The big reveal is that the creatures are actually machines. Nina, a PhD-level scientist, has had a Reaper scale for some time, but she never figures out that it's synthetic and not organic.

Don't Move picture

Other mistake: Irs stabbed Richard completely through his face and shot him in the torso. Although he fell in the lake, he is later shown on the shore and he is not bleeding. Head wounds normally bleed like crazy. Since he is wounded in two places, he should have drowned or bled out from swimming to shore. (01:19:51 - 01:25:08)
