Suggested correction: When Grampa stands up you can only ever see one picture on the wall. This is of Jebadiah Springfield. There is a shot when we see Grampa lifted up by townspeople and you see a second picture then. But in the 1st shot it's simply not visible.

Suggested correction: Homer is in the car as it hits the tree and after this the bonnet is crumpled up obscuring your view of the driver's seat so impossible to say if he is in the car or not.

Marge vs. the Monorail - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Homer slides down a big pipe and smashes through one of the windows on the right side of the car. But when Homer crashes into the chestnut tree, it is fully repaired. (00:01:25)

Suggested correction: You can see no lines on that window indicating glass is there as is shown on all other windows in the show. So the glass is missing and so still broken.

Suggested correction: At no point does Lisa turn over the resume. She takes it, reads it and says it needs padding out.

Ssiscool

Suggested correction: Lisa does turn over the resume, but there's nothing typed on the back. She's wasn't turning the resume over to continue reading it, she was just looking to see if there was something more because it was one line, hence her response of needing padding.

The Otto Show - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When Otto is playing the guitar with bart in the middle of the night, there are close-ups of Otto whenever he is singing. You can see that the wall behind him is plain. However, when there is a wide shot of otto and bart, the wall behind otto has two tables leaned against them. (00:15:50)

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

Suggested correction: Not true, in the close up of Otto singing the corner of some shelves are visible. These shelves become visible when the camera pans round to show him turning to look at Homer and Marge. Meaning we see 2 different backgrounds depending on the camera angle. No mistake.

Colonel Homer - S3-E20

Audio problem: Where Lurleen sings the line "I tried to kiss him," on the TV show Ya-Hoo!, you can see that her lips aren't moving. (00:20:35)

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

Suggested correction: When she sings this, the shot is of Marge.

No, the mistake is referring to the start of the line when it is clear she sings 3 or 4 words without her mouth moving. The mistake is valid.

1917 (2019)

Corrected entry: The entire premise of the movie is flawed. If the General needed to get an order to Col McKenzie, the quickest and surest means would have been to drop a message from an aircraft. In fact, the field beyond the aid station at the end of the movie would have been perfectly suitable for an aircraft of the time to land and hand-deliver a message the day before the assault.

Correction: The field beyond the aid station at the end of the movie was also in a prime position to be bombarded by enemy artillery. Regardless, this is not how messages were sent during WWI.

The military used people called runners especially for this purpose of delivering urgent messages. Co-incidentally, Adolf Hitler was a German runner in WW1 who was injured in 1916.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: The 8 minute countdown for the raptor strike lasted 13 minutes.

Correction: Movie time and real time are not the same thing unless specifically stated that events occur in real time. Such as on '24'.

White House Down (2013)

Corrected entry: After the explosion - I think the first one - the terrorists are going around killing the security men and taking their weapons - with one security man down and his gun on the floor, there is a yellow marker under his gun, we see the marker when the gun is taken. Maybe the yellow marker is there as a position marker, so the actor knows where to put his gun after he has been "killed" and fallen down. (00:31:50)

kh1616

Correction: The 'marker' actually looks like it is a metal plate with screws attached to the floor itself. So I don't think it is a marker at all.

Correction: The yellow marker is actually from a barrel bolt used on the door. Here is an example https://www.amazon.co.uk/BARREL-SLIDE-CRANKED-OFFSET-SCREWS/dp/B007KQAAGQ.

Schindler's List (1993)

Factual error: In the beginning, when the Germans are setting up the tables to record the names, one German puts down a plastic stamp pad. Stamp pads of that era were metal.

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

Suggested correction: Not true. Rubber stamp pads were invented in 1866. By WW2 they were easily available.

stiiggy

I do not believe the mistake refers to the stamp itself or the ink pad, but to the container holding the ink pad. The stamp is made of rubber, but the ink pad should be contained in metal.

wizard_of_gore

Personally I think it is a metal stamp pad. Maybe a second pair of eyes to confirm? At 1:31 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UoF6uIQOK8.

lionhead

That is a very tough call. The pad sounds plastic when placed upon the table as the sound is rather light whereas a metal pad would more likely have more of a thud than is heard.

Ssiscool

It could have easily been celluloid or Bakelite - both had been around for decades.

Corrected entry: Newbie is told to stop saluting the Captain because it makes him a priority target, but Tom Hanks sports his Captain's bars throughout the movie.

Correction: His Captain's bars are a lot harder to spot for a sniper than a salute.

lionhead

Correction: When observed from 600m+ it would be near on impossible to see the captain's bars. However someone openly saluting is easy to spot even without a scope.

London Has Fallen (2016)

Plot hole: Banning knows where there is an MI6 safe house but has "no option" but to head for the US Embassy. He could have gone for the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Knightsbridge Barracks, Downing Street, the Palace of Westminster or Scotland yard, all knee deep in security.

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

Suggested correction: The whole premise of not being able to go to the embassy is because they (the terrorists) will expect it. Banning also makes it clear to Asher that the entire security services are no longer to be trusted due to an insider. Going to any place "knee deep in security" is literally walking into a potential terrorist. The head of the UK response team even states they don't know who can be trusted and they need to eliminate the ones that have infiltrated the police forces. Hence the MI6 safe house.

Ssiscool

Suggested correction: Considering the fact that there was a mole inside Scotland Yard, going there wasn't really an option.

Correction: You only ever hear him referred to as Mr. Speaker or Mr. Trumball after his name appears on screen at the very start.
