A View to a Kill (1985)

Continuity mistake: When the Rolls sinks its back end is pointing upwards; the front end going down in a steep angle. But when Bond is getting out of it and gets air from the tires it is upside down. And the surface is not far away. It is impossible that it could have turned over. (00:51:10)

Suggested correction: Actually it's entirely possible. The very last seconds where the back bumper is visible the car is completely vertical. Similar to the stern of the Titanic. As the cur goes under it could easily just drift backwards and end up on its roof.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Visible crew/equipment: When the thugs' limousine departs after the attack on Stacey's house, a boom mic is reflected on the side windows. (01:13:50)

Suggested correction: It's part of her house. Not a boom mic.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Zorin's men attacks Stacey's house, she throws a jar at one of them. A huge part stays on his head and he doesn't remove it when he escapes with the other. When Stacey is taking the broken parts on the floor, you can see that same huge part. At the place it is on the floor, the man had to put it gently on the floor, something he didn't. (01:13:40)

Suggested correction: Actually, you do see this just as the thugs are escaping you see him take it off his head.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Continuity mistake: The locomotive that Scarpine drives in the quarry throughout the mine sequence has an all-green radiator, but when he and Zorin come out of the mine, the top of the radiator is black. (01:48:30)

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

Suggested correction: That's because they are on a different locomotive. If you watch closely, the one they ride in parks by the hut that ends up under water. They take one that is on a separate track and raised rock.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Corrected entry: When Bond and Stacy leave the mine shack, him in a company jacket and her in overalls, you can see she is wearing red heels which Bond comments "it is the union" to a worker. Later when May Day rips the overalls off Stacy she is wearing white shoes to match her dress. (01:37:20)

Correction: Bond never says that to a worker. What he says is "It's Women's Lib. They're taking over the teamsters." When he does she still has white/silver shoes on.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Bond grabs Stacey after the Zorin Airship blows up, you can see the fireaxe resting between them. The camera shot changes to one above them and the fireaxe has now gone. (02:01:00)

Suggested correction: The axe isn't gone. What's happened is the handle is hiding behind Bond's foot. The red head of the axe simply blends into the paintwork of the bridge and given the distance of the shot it's hard to spot.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Revealing mistake: When May Day winches James Bond to get the bomb out of the mine shaft, you can see the cogs of the winch don't move when she turns the handle. (01:51:30)

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

Suggested correction: The cog is not part of the system that raises and lowers the crane. When May Day is lifting the bomb and Bond back up, you can see other cogs moving except that one.

A View to a Kill (1985)

Audio problem: Scarpine's comment about Bond hanging from the mooring line doesn't match his lip movement. (01:55:30)

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

Suggested correction: If you watch closely you will see that it does match up.

Friends (1994)

The One with Two Parts: Part 1 - S1-E16

Corrected entry: The colour of Chandler's suit changes from grey to green while he's trying to fire Nina. (00:11:25)

Correction: Chandler's suit changes because he's wearing different ones over multiple days. He attempts to fire Nina, then chickens out, then tries again on another day and fails, then finally musters the courage to do so on a third attempt after his boss confronts him.

No, if you watch the scene you will see that on the second attempt the suit changes colour between camera angles. This is not because it is different days.

I just streamed it again. I don't see that the suit changes color from grey to green, but it does look different when seen from either the front or the back view. However, it looks like this is just from the set lighting. There's a strong light source coming from the left-hand side that makes Chandler's suit look lighter from the back. The front is more shadowed.

Correction: He wears the same suit throughout the scene, but the light hits it differently when he moves around the office.

Friends (1994)

The One with the Candy Hearts - S1-E14

Corrected entry: When Ross comes back from asking out his neighbour at the counter, he has his hand open at one point, pointing down, but then apparently smashes the egg on Chandler. It's clear he never had the egg in his hand as there is no mess on Chandler's vest top either.

Correction: It was in his pocket.

Correction: You need to watch the background - when the girls are talking to Joey and Chandler you can see he puts it in his inside jacket pocket on his left side.

Friday Night Dinner (2011)

The Surprise - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: As Jackie and the boys get in the car to go to the bar, Jackie is entering the back of the car, but when they arrive at the bar, she gets out of the front.

Suggested correction: Could easily have switched places on the way there. Happens many times.

14th Jun 2010

Friends (1994)

The One Where Nana Dies Twice - S1-E8

Corrected entry: When Monica is reading about the cheap casket, in the shot from behind her there is obviously a sticky-note that has been placed in the brochure.

Correction: How is that a mistake?

21st Oct 2020

Friends (1994)

The One with the Blackout - S1-E7

Audio problem: When Phoebe is counting down to the last candle burning out you can see Joey blowing out the candle, but the sound of his blow is only heard a second later after he sits back. (00:22:50)

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

Suggested correction: You don't see Joey sit back. You see him blow the candle out and the screen just goes completely black. The audio is in sync too.

8th Oct 2012

Friends (1994)

The One with the Thumb - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Monica's snort, Joey's knuckle cracking, and Phoebe's hair chewing are never seen in any other episode, before or after this one.

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

Suggested correction: Just because it's not shown on screen doesn't mean it's not there still. If it had been shown prior to this episode, and suddenly stopped, that could be considered a mistake. But it's never shown.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Twinkle first shows his car to Sean, you see that it is a plain green hulk VW, but 2 secs later when they turn up to the multistorey carpark for the meet/drift race, it has a set of 4 tyres on the roof. (00:19:20)

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

Suggested correction: This is explained in a deleted scene where they steal tyres at a gas station.

As it is explained in a deleted scene, the mistake is still valid. As the deleted scene isn't in the movie.

Only Fools and Horses (1981)

The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7

Corrected entry: At the railway station/bus stop scene, Alan Parry states that they will all have to look for somewhere to stay the night, as the replacement coach will be coming at 9.00am the next morning. If that arrangement had already been made, why were they looking for transport back to London that evening?

Correction: Most, if not all reasonable coach companies will pay for your travel back if you decide you don't want to stay the night, just as they would offer to pay for your accommodation. This is more than likely the reason they were looking for transport back to Peckham.

Correction: It was explained in the episode, Mike had a pub to open, Jevon was meeting a bird etc etc.

Plus, they had nothing for an overnight stay.

Breaking Bad (2008)

Grilled - S2-E2

Corrected entry: The White family has missing posters made up for Walt. However, they fail to include a phone number for tips or information to be passed on to the family. (00:12:30)

Correction: There's fine print that you might not have been able to read. There's a line that says "please contact the police immediately at 505-145-4331 or call 911."

Using zoom, I agree that's it's there.

14th Jan 2007

The Simpsons (1989)

Corrected entry: This is for the Season 17 episode 'Marge's Son Poisoning'. Principal Skinner says that he and his mother have been doing karaoke together since he was in the 4th grade, but in the Season 9 episode 'The Principal and the Pauper', it was revealed that the 'Seymour Skinner' we know is an impostor, a man who assumed his army sergeant's identity after he was killed in combat.

Correction: Skinner (or Armin Tamzarian, if you want to be totally truthful) has been telling lots of stories about his childhood with Mrs. Skinner. It doesn't mean that the stories are true, but he tells them to gain credibility for his role as Seymour Skinner.

True. Even in the episode "The Principal and the Pauper", the judge told everyone to forget anything happened.

Plus there is nothing to say the real Skinner couldn't have told Armin stories from his youth.

Ghost Ship (2002)

Ghost Ship mistake picture

Plot hole: After the small boat blows up, all the characters are off the big ship. They magically appear back on top of the main ship, but had absolutely no way of getting up there. (00:46:50)

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

Suggested correction: Wasn't Murphy still on the board of the big ship during the explosion? He could pull them on the rope or something.

What rope? They got up on a crane. Some soaking wet natural fiber rope from the 60s? What about the injured guy? Nah.

Who said it had to be a wet rope? Cruise ships of that size are likely to have supplies on board for a "man overboard" situation. Murphy is still on the ship so could use them.

6th Oct 2020

Resident Evil (2002)

Corrected entry: The Red Queen refers to the "Licker" as a "Hunter" - that is incorrect.

Correction: How is it incorrect? She's just using "hunter" as a descriptive term, referring to the fact that it's a fierce beast that hunts its targets. (Similar to how you might call a cat a "hunter" because it hunts small birds and rodents.) There's absolutely nothing wrong with her calling it a hunter.

Agreed the licker hunts out targets to attack. Making it a hunter.
