Continuity mistake: Season 4 Episode 5 The Sleeping Beauty: When Taylor calls Ryan in the middle of the night (around 03:03 when he first checks), the second time Ryan checks the time on his radio it shows 03:23, however it jumps back to 03:04 when he looks again.

7th Jul 2007
McLeod's Daughters (2001)
Stir Crazy - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When they are going after the horse they land with the chopper near the boundary fence. Watch behind Alex and Claire, the rotor isn't turning anymore. However when Tess and Becky arrive the rotor is still turning. This happenes more than once.
7th Jul 2007
McLeod's Daughters (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Tess is wetting her new boots, check the strand of hair that is hanging over her left shoulder. It changes between the shots looking direct at her and the shots of Meg and Jodie where you see Tess in the mirror.
16th May 2007
Murder at 1600 (1997)
Other mistake: When they look at the negatives on the boat there is the typical holes at the top and bottom of the negative. Then they magnify a part within the picture. After they look at the magnified part, but the holes are still there.
11th May 2007
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Continuity mistake: When the orphan is trying to steal the cigar's from Mr. Bray and has to smoke two of them at the time, in one shot, both of them are only half lit, in the next shot they are burnt down about half an inch. (00:35:50)
9th May 2007
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Best Friends - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning when Colleen and Becky are talking to the boy, there is a boy walking in the background. When he loses his hat, he is behind the boy talking to the girls. In the next shot he is already behind the two girls, which is quite a great distance to cover in a split-second. (00:06:30)
9th May 2007
JAG (1995)
Factual error: When they have to jettison fuel during their final approach to the aircraft carrier, Rabb tells his co-pilot to dump 200 pounds of fuel. That is about 30 Gallons (about two normal car tanks). But there is way too much fuel being dumped to be only 30 gallons.
9th May 2007
JAG (1995)
Continuity mistake: When they try to land the C130 on the aircraft carrier, the co-pilot says that they don't have the right landing gear down, so she goes to the back to instruct one of the passengers how to lower the gear manually. The problem is that they lower the left gear, which was already down.
9th May 2007
JAG (1995)
Revealing mistake: When the plane approaches the aircraft carrier, they have to dump fuel, and the fuel comes out through the back. However it should be coming out on the wing tips. So they had a tank of water or something similar that they sprayed out through the back. (Confirmed by a Staff Seargent with the USMC who flew 8 years on a C130.)
7th May 2007
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Michaela and Sully appologize to each other at the end of the episode, in the first shot, all of Sully's hair is behind the blue headband. In the next shot, his fringes are not underneath the band anymore. (00:45:30)
7th May 2007
JAG (1995)
Revealing mistake: The cockpit of the C130 is not correctly rebuilt. The pilots are sitting too close to each other. (Verified by a former C130 pilot with the USMC.)
7th May 2007
JAG (1995)
Factual error: Season 9 Episode 5, "Touchdown": When they approach the aircraft carrier, the copilot says that the number two engine is flaming out. This means there is no more fuel to run that engine. That supposedly also means that there is not enough fuel for a fire alarm lighting up in the cockpit, which is what happens in the show. (Verified by a USMC Staff Sergeant who flew 8 years on a C130).
7th May 2007
JAG (1995)
Factual error: During the approach on the aircraft carrier, they had to put out the gear manually. The copilot shouts that she has three greens (meaning that all gears are down and locked), then she puts the gear lever up. If that is done, the gear would raise again or be in an unsafe position for the landing.
3rd May 2007
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - S1-E1
Factual error: When the woman is giving birth and Dr. Quinn has to perform a c-section, she gives the baby to Mrs. Cooper, and after about a minute, she gives the baby to the mother. Dr. Quinn then leans towards Mrs. Cooper and they smile happily; she doesn't attempt to continue the "surgery". Even nowadays doctors need several minutes to close up again after a c-section, so there is no way that Dr. Quinn was anywhere near finished. Leaving the patient cut open on the bed is pretty irresponsible, something she would never do as she has to prove that she is a good M.D. (00:30:00)
3rd May 2007
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Continuity mistake: Pilot: After Dr. Quinn has had her tooth pulled, she talks to Mrs. Cooper, and her hair changes during shots, most noticeably on her forehead and near her left ear. (00:38:00)
3rd May 2007
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Continuity mistake: Pilot: The mud on Dr. Quinn's face alters in size and shape between when she is meeting the Coopers and when she is upstairs in the room looking into the mirror. (00:09:00)
27th Apr 2007
ER (1994)
Continuity mistake: Early in this episode when Dr. Kovac is shaving in the bathroom, the shaving foam on his skin is changing during shots, most noticeably in the region of his ear. (00:02:30)
24th Apr 2007
ER (1994)
An Intern's Guide to the Galaxy - S11-E5
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Dubenko is explaining a chemical reaction to the other doctors he starts to write on the wall. In the first shot he writes the following: 2H+ + H then the camera focuses on his audience and we hear continuing writing, then the camera cuts back to Dubenko when on the wall the following is written: 2H+ -> A. (00:24:00)
24th Apr 2007
ER (1994)
An Intern's Guide to the Galaxy - S11-E5
Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Ray asks if he can go home, we see Sam writing her number of discharged patients on the board in a close up. The camera then cuts back to the whole group and the size and style of Sam's writing changes. Most noticeable that the circle now stretches over the line between Ray and Abby's count whereas before it was in the middle of Abby's column. (00:42:50)
20th Apr 2007
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Factual error: When the Scottish scientist calls Hall, he tells him that the freezing temperature of fuel is -150° Fahrenheit. This isn't true, Jet A1, which is the type of fuel in such kind of choppers freezes at -52.6° Fahrenheit. The scientist says that he had to look it up, so he should have the correct figures and as this figure is quite important to estimate the temperature in the eye of the storm, he wouldn't mix it up.
8th Apr 2007
Casino Royale (2006)
Continuity mistake: At the Poker game between Bond and Dimitrios the chips change place during shots. Most noticeable on Dimitrios' small stack (two black chip stacks and one green) in the overhead shots they are on the black line of the table carpet, in the shots from the sides, they are in between two black lines. The same is with Dimitrios' cards and his good luck token. (00:31:50)
27th Mar 2007
JAG (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Rabb lands at Norfolk the number of the chopper is 426, there he meets Commander Turner who says that he takes the same chopper as transport to the submarine. The Sea Knight is the last transport to leave the base before lock-down. When the same chopper approaches the USS Crawford it suddenly has the number 62.
24th Mar 2007
JAG (1995)
In Thin Air - S8-E5
Continuity mistake: After Rabb flies as RIO near the end of the movie, they land in a F-14 with the number 114, however when they get out of the aircraft the number is 242.
23rd Mar 2007
JAG (1995)
Other mistake: Throughout the whole show there are several shots of submarines, aircraft carrier landings, chopper flights that are exactly the same in different episodes.
21st Feb 2007
JAG (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Rabb takes off with the F-117 in the Iranian desert we see bushes when he lifts off, however in the next shot, when we see the Nighthawk from the front, the bushes are gone.
2nd Feb 2007
Rumor Has It (2005)
Continuity mistake: When they are trying to have sex in the bathroom and Sarah sits on the wash basin, her arms alternate during shots, from being around Jeff's neck hugging and being in front of his chest.
31st Jan 2007
S.W.A.T. (2003)
Revealing mistake: When we see the close up of the jet after having landed on the bridge, look closely at the right main landing gear. There is a rope or a chain that slows down and stops, seems to be a device to move the aircraft without having the engines run. (01:34:50)
31st Jan 2007
S.W.A.T. (2003)
Continuity mistake: When the jet is landing on the bridge, the flaps alternate from being fully extended to being fully up. Most noticeably shortly before they stop, the flaps are being retracted in less than a second, which too small a time. (01:34:50)
30th Jan 2007
McLeod's Daughters (2001)
Factual error: In the beginning, when the stranger kills the brumby with his rifle, you can see that the horse is still breathing when he is driving off. Also later, when the girls find the horse, you see it breathing. (Check the stomach near the legs.)
20th Jan 2007
Numb3rs (2005)
Continuity mistake: Season 2 - Episode 16 - "Protest": Near the end when the guy is threatening to drop the nitroglycerin, he drops the test-tube and it lands on a red mat. However, when the agent picks it up, there isn't a mat anywhere near the test-tube.
12th Jan 2007
Numb3rs (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Charlie Epps is writing a quadrillion on the whiteboard, the writing alternates between shots. Most noticably when he first writes it down, there is a significant downward tendency of the 000 groups. In the next shot, they are pretty much horizontal. Also the shapes of the commas alter.
3rd Jan 2007
Hostage (2005)
Factual error: When Jeff Tally gets the first call from the little boy Tony, he checks both his cells. The blue Nokia is ringing however there isn't an incoming call on his phone, you see that as he has the two options, either "clear" and "options", meaning that the seven numbers have been typed in. (00:45:00)
31st Dec 2006
The O.C. (2003)
The Earth Girls Are Easy - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: Season 4 - Episode 8 - The Earth Girls Are Easy - When Kaitlin is at the party, talking to Bullit, her strand of hair changes from hanging over her eye to hanging down next to it, without her moving her hands or head to displace it.
8th Sep 2006
The King of Queens (1998)
Revealing mistake: When they first drive to their class, we see the street lights behind them. When Carrie pulls over to pick up Spence, she turns the steering wheel, but the lights in the back don't turn. (00:07:45)
3rd Aug 2006
McLeod's Daughters (2001)
Dirty Pool - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: When Tess is stuck in the mud with her car and Alex is helping her to get out, during their "fight" the mud on Tess' blouse changes a lot.
3rd Aug 2006
McLeod's Daughters (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Tess is fixing the windmill, there is a strong wind blowing, as you can see on the turning windmill and on Tess' hair. When the three other girls look at the windmill from farther away, the windmill isn't turning at all.
16th Jun 2006
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Fifi's First Christmas - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: After Fifi has gone after the red scarf, Brian picks it up. In this wide shot, there is nothing on the left of Brian, however in the next close-up shot, there is a horse next to him.
30th May 2006
Grey's Anatomy (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Miranda Bailey tries to resuscitate/reanimate her patient Jeremiah, the assistant puts the anesthesia bag down next to Jeremiah's shoulder, in the next shot however, she has the bag back in her hands and lies it down once more.
29th May 2006
ER (1994)
Factual error: When the woman is giving birth, they show the baby just after they finally got her out. The baby is clean, no blood and other signs of a recent birth are visible. This is especially unlikely since the doctors had to "cut her open" to liberate the baby from the birth channel.
18th May 2006
The Island (2005)
Continuity mistake: When the clones are in Lincoln's house he takes a drink. When he picks up the bottle, we see the label, but when starts to drink, the label isn't visible anymore and the time is too short to turn it.
11th May 2006
Face/Off (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Troy (as Travolta) is about to defuse the bomb, watch the timer, it goes down too slowly for the time elapsed. It shows 1:14 and 28 seconds later it only shows 1:04, not 0:46 as it should. (00:58:45)
8th May 2006
Face/Off (1997)
Deliberate mistake: When they fight in the hangar and Troy is thrown back by the jet engine, his face and other parts of his body should have been burnt quite heavily. Such a jet engine has temperatures higher than 450°C about 5 meters away, and Troy is even closer than that.
7th May 2006
The Island (2005)
Continuity mistake: When they are driving behind the truck, a flat piece of metal falls off. Shortly before it hits the car it is "flying" horizontal (20°) however in the next shot, when it hits the car it is suddenly vertical (90°). No time between the two shots for that immense change. (01:18:30)
7th May 2006
Final Destination 2 (2003)
Continuity mistake: During the premonition when the girl on the chopper shows her boobs, the guy on the left gives the joint to the other one, however in the next shot, he is holding it again.
7th May 2006

5th May 2006
Hitch (2005)
Continuity mistake: Near the end after Hitch jumped on the Mini when they are talking; watch behind Sara, the car disappears and reappears several times. (01:45:00)
2nd May 2006
Final Destination (2000)
Continuity mistake: The plane that takes off and explodes isn't a Boeing 747. It should be because that's what they boarded.
2nd May 2006
Cruel Intentions 3 (2004)
Audio problem: In the start credits when the aircraft touches down, you hear the main landing-gear squeak (twice, as the pilot doesn't touchdown simultaneously) but you never hear the squeak of the nosegear.
25th Apr 2006
The Rock (1996)
Continuity mistake: While in the chamber Isherwood shows his glove and says it is eating them. We see him looking through his helmet at the glove and it is covered in foam, however in the next shot from the outside, there is no foam at all. (00:09:55)
28th Mar 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Chase is entering her password she goes for the first letter on the keyboard. Her little finger is at the right end of the space bar and her index finger is hitting the key. When the shot changes to the close-up of her hand, the little finger is in the area of the CTRL key and the middle finger is the one which hits a key, in the area of the m or comma key. (00:33:15)
28th Mar 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Gates takes out the champagne glass after making the fingerprints visible, the time on his watch changes from 9:11 to half past something. (00:38:45)
28th Mar 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Gates and Riley are talking in front of the Lincoln Memorial, the clouds in the background change. It would be possible that they change so quickly during the shots, but only if there was a gale and not sunny weather as it is in the movie. (00:27:00)
28th Mar 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Riley is in the Subway to install the video feed, he places his laptop on a table. On its left side there is a little antenna. When the laptop is on the ground, the antenna is horizontal. In the next shot, the antenna is already folded out in a 45° angle. (00:30:05)
27th Mar 2006
V for Vendetta (2005)
Trivia: In the scene where Evey gets her hair cut, it was Natalie Portman's real hair they cut. They had only one shot to capture that scene, and everybody was quite nervous if the scene would turn out usable.
26th Mar 2006
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie when Ben and Andie have met for the first time and they are outside of the restaurant, Ben gives her the 'goofy' helmet he threads the strap through the clip only once, in the next shot it is threaded perfectly in the clip to fasten the helmet.
26th Mar 2006
The Island (2005)
Visible crew/equipment: When the first train wheel falls down you can see a cord attached to it, in the next shot the cord is gone. (01:17:50)
26th Mar 2006
The Island (2005)
Visible crew/equipment: When Tom Lincoln runs up the stairs to get his shoes and opens the door to his room, you can see a cameraman reflected in the glass. (01:34:40)
26th Mar 2006
The Island (2005)
Factual error: When the first train wheel hits the ground in the close up, you can see that it isn't made of steel as it deforms as if it were foam. And there is also no damage to the concrete road whatsoever, since the wheels are made of steel there should have been quite a big hole. (01:17:50)
26th Mar 2006
The Island (2005)
Continuity mistake: The first train wheel which falls down from the truck hits the ground twice. (01:17:50)
14th Feb 2006
The Island (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Mac, Lincoln and Jordan are driving to the railway station. Mac takes the credit card out of Jordan's hands, however in the next shot, Lincoln is already holding it. (01:04:30)
4th Jan 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: In the treasure vault Riley stands in front of that emerald statue, and on its chest you can see a part which is not covered in dust. In the next shot the whole chest is covered in dust. The clean area coincides with the later placement of Riley's cheek, which means the first shot was actually taken after the embracing and implemented before. (01:50:45)
4th Jan 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Other mistake: When Gates writes down the numbers from the back of the Declaration of Independence he forgets one number. On the document there are the following numbers: 11-6-6, 12-18-7, 14-3-7. Ben however only writes down 11-6-6, 14-3-7 and then keeps on. (01:01:10)
4th Jan 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Gates and Dr. Chase are in the store to buy new clothes, Abigail is coming out of the changing cubicle. She opens the door wing while having both hands on the edge, when the shot changes, she leans on the edge with both forearms. (01:07:50)

4th Jan 2006
Armageddon (1998)
Trivia: In the scene when Bruce Willis is in the Armadillo and says goodbye to Liv Tyler, he actually had a picture of his real daughter in front of him, which helped him to cry. (02:07:30)
4th Jan 2006
24 (2001)
Day 2: 8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. - S2-E13
Deliberate mistake: The blue and white airplane when the male terrorist tries to take off has the following registration: N34G5 This seems to be a deliberate mistake as only the following N registrations are officially possible: N plus one to five numbers (N12345) / N plus one to four numbers and one suffix letter (N1234Z) / N plus one to three numbers and two suffix letters (N123AZ).
4th Jan 2006
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
Revealing mistake: When Memphis delivers Elanore to Calitri, he gets punched and falls to the ground. At his feet you see orange tape as stage markings. (01:38:15)
4th Jan 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Other mistake: When Gates enters the password to enter the preservation room he accidentally hits the Caps Lock key instead of the "a" key. (00:42:35)
4th Jan 2006
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Visible crew/equipment: Before the American soldiers attack the half-track in the field we see Upham walking. Watch at his left shoulder you see a square shadow moving around. It's the shadow of a camera. (01:40:05)
4th Jan 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Gates enters the password he has hit the keyboard 4 times "V A (actually the "Caps lock-key, as explained elsewhere) L L" but when we see the screen with the access code, there are only 2 stars hiding the letters. (00:42:35)
3rd Jan 2006
National Treasure (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Gates is arrested by the FBI you see Riley and Chase coming around the corner twice. (01:21:50)
29th Dec 2005
S.W.A.T. (2003)
Factual error: In the scene where the Learjet takes off the jet starts to roll. Then there is the shooting with the SWAT team, towards the end of the shooting the pilot pushes the power levers forward to accelerate. Regarding the short take off run they had on the bridge, the pilot would have stayed on the brakes until the engines were at full thrust, then released the brakes, started rolling and wouldn't touch the power levers until after liftoff or in emergency.
29th Dec 2005
24 (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Jack is at the powerstation he checks his watch. It is 19:12:26, and it takes 1 min 57 seconds until we see the timer (yellow clock), which shows 19:13:47 and not 19:14:23 which it should be as the show is in real time. This is only a mistake if we consider agent Jack Bauer's watch as being accurate, but given how time-critical a lot of his work is, you wouldn't expect him to be casual about the time. (00:12:10)
26th May 2005
Pearl Harbor (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Rafe and Danny take off during the attack their canopies are open. In the next shot from behind you can see that the canopies have closed themselves. (01:47:45)
22nd May 2005
The Bourne Identity (2002)
Factual error: All the scenes which are supposed to play in Zürich were being shot in Prague, the capital of Czech Republic. The director didn't choose Zürich because the city was too clean for him. The signs on the walls are sometimes written in Czech language, and the people speak German with a strange (Czech) accent, not like someone from Zürich.
22nd May 2005
Face/Off (1997)
Revealing mistake: In the scene when Castor Troy kills Agent Winters the sky is blue. There is only one cloud just above the fuselage. This cloud doesn't move, at least not that fast as it should as the jet is near take-off speed. The aircraft stands still when the actress falls out of the jet. In the ensuing shot, when the dummy falls out, the sky is overcast and the aircraft moving again.
21st May 2005
Face/Off (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Castor arrives at the airport, behind him there is a parked car in front of the building which on it reads "Welcome to Southern California International Airport", that disappears and reappears.
21st May 2005
Face/Off (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Castor Troy first arrives at the airplane you see another business jet in the back (you see the red engine coverages). Few seconds later there is a different aircraft with a propeller and no jet anymore.
21st May 2005
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Continuity mistake: In the scene when they defend the bridge in Ramelle there is a soldier who wants to attach a stick-bomb at a German tank. When he walks out to the tank you see that he is wearing a beige uniform. In the next shot you see that the uniform has changed into a dark green, and you also see that it is a puppet that explodes. (02:08:15)
21st May 2005
National Treasure (2004)
Factual error: In the scene when Ben, Abigail and Riley are on the tower of Independence Hall, they look at the shadow marking the secret place where the glasses are hidden. It is 3:20. The shadow of the cross is in the second third of the pillar. When Ian is on the tower the shadow has already moved to the top of the wall. As the others have left Independence Hall at 3:28 the shadow must have traveled the distance in about 4 minutes. This is far too quickly. (01:12:20)
