Corrected entry: When the family arrives in Miami, they pass Kevin's bag until they reach an old man, dressed in shorts. In the initial airport scene, while Kevin is chasing his father, the same old man is there, dressed in a business suit.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
25th Jan 2019
The World is Not Enough (1999)
Corrected entry: Not much point in having a purpose built workshop for a speedboat 4-5 floors above river level. As shown later in Spectre there were underground moorings and easy access to the Thames at river level.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Corrected entry: Near the beginning where all the people are being hanged, when the young boy is singing, you can see he has braces on his teeth.

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Corrected entry: As Gabriel is starting the download from Woodlan to the "portable" server set up by his men, the progress bar shows "0 of 500TB used". Even with today's harddrives, one would need to carry 250 to 500 harddrives to reach this capacity.
Correction: Gabriel didn't download the data to a portable server. His men went to Woodlawn to disable all the safety protocols (firewalls etc) and the download was completed via the normal Internet to a server farm elsewhere. This is why Gabriel turned off phone networks, satellites etc to make sure he had as much bandwidth available as possible for his download.

I, Robot (2004)
Corrected entry: If Dr. Alfred Lanning had fallen from the massive height that he did in the film, his body would have been in a much more mangled state.
30th Sep 2002
Die Hard 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: Bruce is sitting in what looks like a C-130 while terrorists throw grenades in it through the window. Never mind the grenades going off too late, because they wouldn't all have made it through the small window anyway. In fact some of those grenades would've bounced back killing the terrorists also, which would've made for a surprising end to this movie. (01:17:45)
Correction: It is improbable that the terrorists could toss all the grenades in a small window, but it isn't factually impossible.

Breaking Bad (2008)
Cancer Man - S1-E4
Character mistake: When Walt is in the bathroom using hydrogen peroxide to clean his leg wound he received from killing Crazy 8, he notices blood on his pants. He tries to clean the bloodstain off with a toothbrush. I think that any and EVERY chemist would know that hydrogen peroxide almost instantly removes blood stains from clothing. But, instead of using this somewhat common knowledge, Walt scrubs the stain with a toothbrush under the sink. Even if he had never heard of this 'trick', given the nature of H2O2 and Walt's understanding of chemistry, he would have realized this chemical solution immediately... Especially since he used the peroxide seconds before discovering the blood stain. (00:15:55 - 00:17:10)

Futurama (1999)
Other mistake: Bender wears a magnetic bow tie. However in series 1 episode 2 it's shown magnets screw up his circuits and make him sing songs. It's mentioned in a previous entries correction that it's only when the magnet is near his head. This isn't true as it's shown in others episodes that it happens when a magnet is attached anywhere on him.
Suggested correction: It's strong magnets near his head that mess up his inhibition unit. The bow tie is a very weak magnet.

Hannibal (2001)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the woman and Mason match the fingerprint to Dr. Lecter they use a computer. In no part of the fingerprinting process do you use a computer, even for a match.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Trivia: The film made $400m, the lowest in the franchise, and had mediocre reviews.
Suggested correction: Actually, "The Scorpion King" has by far the lowest gross of the '99 "Mummy" franchise. Additionally, I don't see how reviews constitute trivia.

Cast Away (2000)
Corrected entry: When Noland is casually urinating into the ocean late one night we see a light on the horizon. It can only be from a passing ship. Noland doesn't react at all, and it is directly in his line of sight. He couldn't miss it.
Correction: Um, did you watch the rest of the scene? he literally sees the light when he's done urinating and says "ship!" and then yells "help" and shines his flashlight.
Correction: That's the entire point of the scene. When he looks in the direction of the light, it stops, and it's only visible when he's not looking. It's meant as a sad, "missed opportunity" scene.
What absolute nonsense. He is looking straight at it. In fact it is a light from a building on the island used as a filming location (Monuriki, Fiji) that the post production crew forgot to paint out, making it two different types of film mistake.
30th May 2016
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Corrected entry: After Angel leaves Skinner's office to confront the shoplifter, (before Angel arrives next to him at the shelves) the shoplifter isn't putting any items into his pockets - he's merely miming the gesture.
31st Dec 2016
Columbo (1971)
Corrected entry: When Columbo arrives at the murder scene at the start, Anderson says that the victim was struck twice. When you see the villain committing the murder, he hits the victim more than twice.
14th Jan 2019
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
Other mistake: When Kate and Teddy go outside to see Santa, the time on the camera doesn't change after a minute.
Suggested correction: Movie time and real time are not the same unless stated such as the show 24.
I dunno, time can be compressed when cutting between things, but a continuous sequence always operates in real time. We might cut out part of a journey, but if someone's onscreen talking for 3 minutes and a clock doesn't change, that's a mistake.
27th Aug 2001
The Godfather (1972)
Continuity mistake: When Sonny is shot at the toll booth the front windshield is torn apart by bullets yet when the bodyguards arrive thirty seconds later, the windshield is intact. (01:53:20)
13th Sep 2015
Jurassic World (2015)
Continuity mistake: The restricted zone where the original Jurassic Park was is to the north. After Indominus chases the kids to the waterfall, it is said in the control room that the huge dino is moving south to the crowds waiting for rides to reopen in the downtown section, drawn by the heat signatures of the gathered masses. A few scenes later, Indominus is up north again terrorizing the kids at the Jurassic Park jeep port.
10th Sep 2015
Jurassic World (2015)
Corrected entry: Just before the Indominus Rex ambush, in one shot the Asset Containment Unit trooper Meyers is equipped with a taser-rifle. In the next, she's equipped with a cattle prod. This happens at least twice. (00:46:10)
16th Nov 2015
Jurassic World (2015)
Corrected entry: When Zach and Gray are waiting for the gyrosphere, Zach stares at two girls and there's two more behind them. When the gyrosphere arrives for the first pair, there's no sign of the second pair. (00:49:00)
15th Sep 2014
The Italian Job (2003)
Factual error: When Charlie hands off the case of gold at the end, he easily spins it around as if it's empty. Bars of gold aren't light by any means.
Suggested correction: When they put the gold into the Minis, we only see silver metal boxes in the trunks, not the black one Charlie hands over to the Ukrainian. Also the time span between getting on the train and the confrontation with Steve was too short to put the barrels into the black box. It's more likely that the box is full of money and was prepared before the Minis entered the subway system.
3rd Jan 2015
The Inbetweeners 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Will catches up with the others, the first shot shows him travelling in a Piper Cub, and the next in a Retractable Cessna. (01:09:50)
Correction: People get changed on planes all the time.
