The Skulls (2000)

Stupidity: The premise that Will's death could be covered up as a staged suicide is preposterously absurd. Not only is there video proof that he was murdered, but at least two well-connected people, including a sitting U.S. Senator and a federal judge, know about it.

Noah: I'm not following you. I'm escaping in the same direction.

Zootopia (2016)

Judy Hopps: What did you do that made Mr. Big so mad at you?
Nick Wilde: I, um... I may have sold him a very expensive wool rug that was made from the fur of a skunk...'s butt.
Judy Hopps: Oh, sweet cheese and crackers.

Scotty: Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
Kirk: You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.

Batman Forever (1995)

Alfred: I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but I have some rather distressing news about Master Dick.
Bruce Wayne: What? Is he all right?
Alfred: I'm afraid Master Dick has... gone traveling.
Bruce Wayne: He ran away?
Alfred: Actually, he took the car.
Bruce Wayne: He boosted the Jag?
Alfred: Not the Jaguar. The other car.
Bruce Wayne: The Bentley?
Alfred: No, sir. The *other* car.

Stalag 17 (1953)

Question: I've heard that, because the film was shot in sequential order, some of the actors were unaware who the spy is until the last three days of filming. When they were offered their roles, wouldn't they have received a copy of the script to read in advance to learn their lines?

Cubs Fan

Answer: The cast would have received copies of the script but with parts of the last scene omitted. They would be given the missing pages during the last days of the shoot, in which time they learn their lines, rehearse, then film the ending. Considering the time involved in filming a movie, actors do not necessarily memorize the entire script beforehand, but do so as each scene is shot. Also, it's questionable as to whether or not any of the cast did not know the ending as the movie was based on the Broadway play.

The Juice Is Loose - S7-E9

Factual error: Joe's plan to trick OJ into confessing to the 1994 murders is moot since, having been acquitted, the double jeopardy provision would prevent him from being tried for the same crime twice, and as a cop, Joe would know that.

Suggested correction: The plan to get OJ to confess had nothing to do with getting the confession, so he could be arrested or tried again. And at this point, the civil trial already found OJ "responsible" for the murders. Since OJ has always maintained his innocence, getting a confession on tape would just be big news.

Young Number Two: Dr. Evil, what are our plans regarding Austin Powers?
Dr. Evil: Austin Powers? He's the snake to my mongoose. Or the mongoose to my snake. Either way, it's bad. I don't know animals.
