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."

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.

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.

Borderlands picture

Visible crew/equipment: When the 6 main characters open the hatch to the sewer, there appears to be a crew member helping them open it. There is only 6 of them in the scene. But, there is a seventh person at the top who looks to be wearing a m95 mask. This is also in the opening scene of the first trailer.

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.

Continuity mistake: At the gas station, Thelma and Ben are talking to random people Thelma thinks she knows. Meanwhile, her family is on the way there. The sun is going down in this sequence and it's noticeably getting darker. Before they run behind the building, it's suddenly lighter outside and gets darker again.
