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.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 picture

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire picture Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The name tag on Podcast's uniform is always hand-written. When he puts on the scarf to start the final battle, it still is hand-written. When he shows up to smash the cables box, it's now a black and red sewn name, just like the rest of the Ghostbusters' uniforms. According to Ghostbusters Fandom there's a deleted scene where Ray gives Podcast an official name patch.

Kung Fu Panda 4 picture

Character mistake: Zhen tells Mr. Ping and Li that at least they didn't lie to Po, and Mr. Ping says that it's true. It's actually not true because Mr. Ping lied about the secret ingredient to his soup, and Li lied about knowing Chi.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire picture

Factual error: During the scene inside the submarine, you see a Commander (O5) giving orders to a captain (O6). This would never be a thing on any vessel. You would have a Commander as a Commanding Officer on a submarine, but not having a Captain working for the Commander.

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.

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.

Venom: The Last Dance picture

Continuity mistake: When Eddie and Martin meet for the first time in the woods and they are having a conversation, Rhys Ifans wears his necklace with the pendant above his clothes in the majority of the shots, except the ones when the camera is focused on Tom Hardy and he is facing left. In those shots, the pendant is under the T-shirt.
