Continuity mistake: In the scene where the old oriental woman is taking Chelios' temperature the sheet is low enough that you can plainly see the battery pack sitting on his stomach. As she walks out two guys come in to check on him and they have to pull the sheet back to reveal the battery pack. (00:02:25)

Crank (2006)

Continuity mistake: When the guys in the Impalas are chasing Chevy and his girlfriend from the sweatshop, the last car hits the fence. Right before the car hits the fence a guy is hanging out of the window (meaning it's open). After Chevy walks up and finishes the guys off and turns around the angle changes with the car behind him and the window is up. Chevy would have shot it out EVEN IF the guy rolled it up. (01:03:30)

Stealth (2005)

Continuity mistake: At the end when the two pilots are talking, Jessica Beil's character has steri-strips on the cut on her cheek, but the arm she got shot in isn't even in a sling and she seems to be using it just fine. The cut on her cheek would have healed long before her arm would have. She was also limping quite badly when Ben rescued her, but she stands/walks just fine here as well.

Stealth (2005)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning they are on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). Later they are aboard the the U.S.S. Carl Vinson (CVN-70) and end up on the U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN-68), yet the personnel are the same aboard all three ships.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The mistakes are based upon the viewer misinterpreting assignment patches that the crew wear on their jackets. The patches reveal the ships named as "mistakes" but are actually where a crew member previously served. The ship's intercom is the only reliable source that the ship is the USS Abraham Lincoln.

The hull number on the flight deck absolutely changes from the Lincoln to the Carl Vinson during parts of the movie.

Road House (1989)

Factual error: How did the Mercedes stay on course with no driver? Even if the steering wheel was locked in place the holes, bumps, or uneven grass would have skewed the car's path as long as it was driving by itself. (01:40:40)

Godzilla (1998)

Continuity mistake: When the team is travelling to the cannery ship you see several people and a few vehicles going the other way. A helicopter flies over their heads and the camera shot from behind the chopper shows there is no one on the road heading away from the ship.

EMTurbo

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: When Taj is proposing the challenge to Charlotte the close up shots of him show him facing straight on standing square, but the distance shots he is standing at about a 45 degree angle to her looking to the right to talk to her, not facing straight on to her. (00:35:20)

Zoom (2006)

Continuity mistake: When they are auditioning for the team, they stamp the fat kid's file "approved" under his photo parallel to the bottom edge. The camera cuts away and back to show the stamp at an angle with part of it on the photo itself. (00:13:40)

Twister (1996)

Factual error: When Jo and Bill drive through the house pictures are still on the wall, a chair is still upright and the towels are still hanging perfectly on the rack in the bathroom. Pretty cool considering the house had just been tumbling through a field.

EMTurbo

Trivia: The opening sequence is a foreshadow to a few of the deaths in the movie. The pinball-like game shows a picture of a woman with nails in her face (Erin), twin "electric sisters" (Ashley & Ashlyn), and daggers/swords (Lewis).

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: During the premonition where the Mustang flips and lands next to the log where the motorcyclist is lying; he is parallel to the road facing oncoming traffic, yet he gets T-boned by the big truck when he should have gotten hit head on.

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: During the premonition where the Mustang flips you can see the left rear wheel center cap disappear and reappear.

EMTurbo

Trivia: When Carter is driving to "take control" the train Alex sees out his window is number 747, which is the type of plane that blew up.

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: During the premonition where the Mustang flips you see 2 major components of the car fly off. First the hatchback then the gas tank. If there is no gas tank, there is no fuel so why does the Mustang explode when the truck hits it?

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: In the first shots of the "Larrymobile" we see the control knobs of the air conditioner both at 45 degree angles, but when it cuts to Butlin climbing in, the top knob is straight up and down.

Con Express (2002)

Factual error: When the Marine Colonel comes in to the control station to take over, there are two things wrong with his uniform. 1.) He has no name tape which should be over his right breast pocket and 2.) He has his sleeves rolled wrong. Marines roll their sleeves inside out so the lighter inside of the material is showing. He has his sleeves rolled correctly for the other branches, but not the Marines.

16 Blocks (2006)

Factual error: When Eddie and Jack are in the ambulance you see a curtain over the window behind Jack. This would be a MAJOR infection control/sterility issue and therefore no ambulances have curtains, especially linen.

The Forgotten (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Telly is walking on the bridge and stops to look at the rooftop playground there are two different bridges. The aerial shots show a much wider, more open walkway than the shots from the bridge. Note how wide the concrete squares are in relation to her body. In the aerial shot the middle seam between the squares is just a crack, but from the bridge you see that the seam behind her is smoothed over by cement or similar. (00:34:40 - 00:34:50)

EMTurbo

Factual error: In the final scene Dix is carrying a beer in the hand he just got shot in. After being shot in the palm of the hand there would be too much bone/ muscle trauma to be able to grip anything for quite a while, if ever. (01:34:15)

Continuity mistake: When Joe uncovers the affair in the bedroom, his wife's robe goes from open in front, to closed (note V of material under her neck) in closeups, to open again in the wide shots. (00:15:10)

Question: Does anyone know if that was really Liz Taylor's old house as they mentioned in the movie?

EMTurbo

Chosen answer: Sadly no, it was was designed by architect David Fowler for his mother in 1963, not for Liz Taylor in the '50s as stated. It has since been torn down.

Continuity mistake: In the church scene Bishop is working on a crossword puzzle. He looks up from it to talk to the cop and when he looks back down at it there are a lot more blanks filled in, especially in the upper right corner. (00:10:20 - 00:11:10)

Hostage (2005)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the boys first see the family they show a closeup of the three of them. There is an American flag sticker behind Dennis' head and a fish behind Mars' head in the back window. When they pull away from the market the stickers aren't there. (00:15:00 - 00:15:35)

Hostage (2005)

General questions

I am trying to find the title to a movie. The main part I remember is an old mafia boss in a wheelchair that jumps out of it to save a baby's life to achieve "pennance" with God. Any ideas? I think Jeff Speakman was in it.

EMTurbo

Chosen answer: The name of the movie is Crackerjack, and the main character is Thomas Ian Griffith, not Jeff Speakman.

Godzilla (1998)

Factual error: The guys in BDU's (camouflage) have their sleeves rolled up with the lighter colored inside material showing. They are supposed to be Army soldiers. Only the Marines roll their sleeves this way. The rest of us can roll our sleeves up but have to fold the outer layer in a way that the darker camouflage material is still showing.

Road House (1989)

Factual error: When Bigfoot is about to drive through the car dealership it squeals tires with a high pitched squeal. IF it could spin those big meats it would be a deep hound dog like bark. (01:40:40)

It Takes Two (1988)

Continuity mistake: The limos in this movie are newer Lincoln limos with nice smooth rounded body lines/ fenders. There is a helicopter shot showing the limos passing some school buses and they are older square fender type limos.

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: After Depp kills Cheech he loads him into the trunk of the Studebaker. You see him driving with a beautiful sunset in the background but when he is searching the body and putting it in the water it is daylight again. (00:37:35)

EMTurbo

Trivia: In the scene where El Mariachi is looking in his guitar case, you can see the throwing knives Cucuy was throwing at him in "Desperado" (1995). They are the ones with the big crosses secured to the lid of the guitar case.

EMTurbo

Factual error: When Antonio Banderas gets shot with the dart in the forehead there are two reasons why that wouldn't work - 1) There isn't any muscle tissue and the skin is too thin for the dart to stick most likely. 2) The tranquilizer would never take effect that quick unless it was injected into a muscle where the blood supply is greater. (00:53:55)

Daredevil (2003)

Factual error: When the sniper shoots through Bullseye's hands he holds them up and there is smoke coming from them. Bullet holes don't smoke (unless you get shot with a tracer round and traces of phosphorus are still burning, but that is not the case here). (01:25:35)

EMTurbo

Factual error: When Lara hops on the boat and asks if she can use their satellite dish they continue to watch TV even after she has moved the dish. Anyone with satellite knows how exact the aiming has to be and if the dish gets moved or bumped you get zilch for TV.

Bad Boys II (2003)

Factual error: When the guys pop out of the tunnel and start shooting at the guards it shows bullets going into the pool making big splashes. At the angle they were shooting from the bullets would barely skim the water making very little splash if they even went into the pool at all. If these were true ex-Deltas they would most likely have a little better aim than just spewing a line of bullets until they hit someone. (02:07:40)

Revealing mistake: When Jessica is riding in the principal's car they pass a gas station where there is a white late 90's/2000ish van. This film is set in the 80's.

EMTurbo

Continuity mistake: When Jessica and the principal are in his car watch the driver's side mirror. When Lloyd and Harry are following them you see a side view of the car and it has a regular teardrop mirror. After Lloyd and Harry get ice cream the principal is telling Jessica no one will be looking for her and the side view mirror has gone to a big square truck mirror like welded to the door.

Factual error: When Dylan tries to kick Madison and she catches her foot Madison twists Dylan's foot straight down and you hear bones popping, but after getting flipped and kicked she gets up without so much as a limp. Her ankle should have been broken/dislocated at this point. (01:15:00)

Identity (2003)

Audio problem: When Ed picks up the hooker and they are driving and talking it is a pretty quiet conversation considering that Ed busted out one of the windows to get Rebecca DeMourney's cell phone away from her. There should be some noise from the wind in the broken window. (00:09:50 - 00:12:30)

Shanghai Knights (2003)

Continuity mistake: When John is trying to lift Roy out of the water it seems to take a full rotation of the turnstile to raise him up a foot above the water, but when John is fighting with the guard he moves the turnstile back and forth about 2-3 feet each way and you see Roy dipping in the water and raising out about a foot above the water then back in and out of the water.

Daredevil (2003)

Factual error: Does anyone else find it odd that there were not only one but three window washer baskets hanging on the side of the building? How did the window washers get out of the baskets halfway up/down the building side, jump? Baskets are never left hanging on the building side because 1) it is unsightly and 2) it presents a potential for damage to the basket/building if a high wind or something comes along. They are stored on the roof top where they are secure. They are controlled from the roof or the basket to keep vandals/thieves from gaining access to the baskets.

Stuart Little 2 (2002)

Other mistake: In the scene where George kicks the soccer ball with Stuart on it there are two problems. 1) If Stuart was on the front of the ball he would have gotten smashed when the ball bounced off the fat kid's head and 2) The goalie that tries to stop the ball looks like he has a yellow jersey which would mean he is blocking his own teammate's shot.
