Camp Redwood - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: While talking with Brooke in the locker room, Montana's left arm alternates from outstretched in the frontal shots of her to down at her side in the rear shots.

Stupidity: Brooke leaves her apartment window open as she sleeps, even after telling her friends that serial killers (like The Night Stalker) strike during the summer when everybody leaves their windows open.

Merlin the Magician - S1-E27

Factual error: The Vikings in this episode are fighting while wearing horned helmets. Contrary to popular belief, Vikings never wore horned helmets in battle. Some theories state the horned helmets were worn during special ceremonies, but never in battle or daily life.

Common mistakes

Factual error: Trains that do not stop, but crash through objects on railroad tracks. Train engineers will hit the brakes of the train when they see anything or anyone on the tracks, and if they come in contact with said objects, will stop to investigate what they hit, and cooperate with local and Federal authorities. Two examples are "Back To the Future, Part III" and "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry."

Suggested correction: Trains, especially modern freight trains, take a long time to stop due to their inertia, and this has caused real-world accidents with cars getting stuck on train tracks.

Another example is "Blue Thunder." It should be noted that slamming on the brakes of a massive freight train in an emergency will make a noise like the sky coming down. You'd hear it for miles. In all three cases cited here, the train drivers not only don't stop the train, they don't even hit the brakes.

In the two examples I posited, the car in "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" smashed right into the locomotive and exploded, cooking the main characters in the car, but there was no sound of the train's brakes and wheels squealing trying to stop; the train kept a-rollin'. In "Back to the Future III," the oncoming train pulverises the DeLorean time machine and also did not stop. If the train did try to stop, the sound of the wheels locking up on the rails would have been heard.

The issue you should clarify is that the mistake is the lack of braking, not the train failing to stop.

Continuity mistake: Outside the Inventing Room, Veruca and her father stand about a foot apart from each other, but the next quick shot shows Veruca standing in front of her dad's left arm.

Continuity mistake: When Augustus falls into the chocolate river, Wonka's right hand is resting on the top of his cane, which is planted in the ground, but the next shot shows his right arm up, and bent at the elbow.
