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

White House Down (2013)
17th Jun 2014
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)
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.

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.
Suggested correction: Not true. Rubber stamp pads were invented in 1866. By WW2 they were easily available.
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.
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.
It could have easily been celluloid or Bakelite - both had been around for decades.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
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.

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

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: Towards the beginning of the film, Morgan Freeman's character name is Allan Trumball. Later in the film it changes to Alex.
20th Dec 2013
Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the movie as the Marines are once again raising the flag on the White House after the terror attack you can see that the roof is still brutally damaged and there has been no repair work done. When the camera pans over toward the Washington monument, you can see that the monument is already being reconstructed with scaffolding all around it. (01:45:30)
Correction: Yes and no. Yes, the roof is badly damaged and yes, the Washington Monument has scaffolding up around it. But, no time scale is given as to how long it has been since the attack. The White House has much more damage to it, and work would have started to secure the actual house rather than starting with the roof, so it's entirely plausible that no work would have been done by this point.

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: During the air attack on the White House, an anti-aircraft battery pops up from the roof, which then completely ignores the attacking plane, allowing it to fly around machine gunning everyone for a while longer until the fighter shoots it down.

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: When a woman is shot in the head, the bullet hole is in the left side of her hat. But then when her hat falls off, the bullet hole is in the right side of her head. No, the bullet didn't pass through both sides. She was shot from the front, so there should only be one bullet hole in the same place. (00:30:00)
27th Jan 2014
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Other mistake: Harry now has Dudley's toy room and Dudley's is next to his, however when there is a shot outside the house there is only the one window on the left side of the house and not much space between it and the left outside wall, where is the window for Dudley's very narrow room? (00:09:00)

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: At the end-of-the-year feast the Slytherin banner is green and gold, but their house colors are green and sliver, as evident by their robes. (02:11:00)
18th Mar 2007
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Harry figures out that Hagrid got his dragon egg from "Snape"(Quirrell), at the begining of the scene, Harry's cloak is buttoned and still is when he, Hermione, and Ron are running to Hagrid's hut. When he reaches Hagrid's hut, it is unbuttoned even though he never unbuttoned it himself. (01:46:50)
1st Jun 2012
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Harry, Ron and Hermione go to the third floor corridor for the first time, they all run into the corridor with Fluffy in and close the door. In the next shot, Ron walks through the door again and closes it again. (00:59:40)
7th Dec 2008
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Dudley pops up after Hagrid gives him a pig's tail, his face and hands are clean, even though he was just eating Harry's birthday cake with his hands. (00:16:40)
19th Sep 2002
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the pupils are waiting on the stairs before being sorted into their houses, Malfoy speaks to Harry and is clearly at the top of the stairs. However as the pupils go into the dining room, Malfoy is nowhere to be seen in at least the first 30 pupils. (00:41:15)
8th Dec 2003
Fawlty Towers (1975)
The Germans - S1-E6
Visible crew/equipment: When Basil runs from the restaurant and into the office, as the door opens to the hallway you can see a monitor in the office, showing what we can see. The director must be watching the action from in there.
Suggested correction: Most places like this are likely to have CCTV and the office would be the optimum place for the manager to watch on the monitor.
9th Mar 2011
Saw (2004)
Plot hole: Det. Kerry says at the scene of Paul's trap, "He had two hours." There is no way she could have known that. The clock simply said 3:00 and the tape specifically says "you have until 3 o'clock or this room will become your tomb". No way to know that's two hours after the fact. (00:17:30)
Suggested correction: In the flashback of the razor wire trap, it shows the clock as a few minutes past 1, so he did know he had 2 hours.
24th Jan 2011
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, the dying Poloma reaches up and touches her brother's right cheek. Her bloody fingers leave a trail behind. This disappears in the next shot when Alejandro turns his head to look at Gibbs.
12th Sep 2004
From Russia With Love (1963)
Corrected entry: When Tatiana enters Bond's room, he is about to take a shower. He never goes and turns it off. (00:51:10)
19th Apr 2004
From Russia With Love (1963)
Continuity mistake: During the battle at the Gypsy camp, Kerim Bey gets shot on his arm but when Bond talks to him later, he has blood everywhere. Even if he had blood on his hands, I don't think he started to touch himself everywhere just for the fun. (00:45:20)
Correction: Movie time and real time are not the same thing unless specifically stated that events occur in real time. Such as on '24'.
