The Godfather (1972)

Question: When Michael is doing his first "godfather-job" they are in a very big church/cathedral. Does anyone know what that is named?

Chosen answer: The church is St Anthony's in Staten Island. It's no longer in use.

Answer: Mount Loretto Catholic Church. It burned down in 1973 and rebuilt later on with just the front stone kept of the original structure.

Chosen answer: It's only the 4th complete film he's directed - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, now this. "My Best Friend's Birthday" isn't a proper film - as far as I can see it's only a half-made collection of footage, and he only directed one segment of "Four Rooms".

Continuity mistake: When Carl Brashear in the courtroom is walking with the 130kg heavy diving suit, he is taking the last step against Leslie Sunday. When he has taken the step he moves his left foot one more time as easily as if it was a pair of Nike Air shoes he was wearing, but earlier he almost couldn't take his 9 step.

Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Lloyd is making drinks for him and Harry, there is a half full bottle with something that looks like whisky in it. Then the cameras changes angle to Harry for 2 seconds, and then again back to Lloyd, but suddenly there isn't half as much "whisky" in the bottle as before. It is impossible that Lloyd could have poured so much "whisky" into the glasses in only 2 seconds. (01:19:40)

Revealing mistake: When Neo breaks free from the goo-pod and slides down the tunnel into the sewer, he falls into the 'lake'. But if you look close you can see that when he falls he's wearing a nappy of sorts, covering his modesty. (00:33:00)

Romeo + Juliet mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Romeo and his friend drive to the church where Juliet lies. You see that their car is very dirty. But when they arrive at the church the car is all clean. It seems a little strange to clean the car, when they have to hurry, and he was wanted by the police.
