Masquerade (1988)

Plot hole: At Tim's funeral, Olivia's attorney tells her that Tim had himself removed from Olivia's Last Will and Testament, proving he loved her and didn't want her money. However, an attorney could not legally change a client's Will without that person's knowledge and drafting a revised version.

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

Suggested correction: Not true. Anyone can have themselves removed as a beneficiary of a will. This is done by signing an Affidavit of Disclaimer of Inheritance at such time as someone becomes aware that they have been included in a will as a beneficiary. This is what Tim meant when he said he had removed himself from Olivia's will.

Yes, someone can have themselves removed, but the person whose Will this affects would have to be told so they could reallocate how their estate will be divided after their death. That would include having a new Will drawn.

Continuity mistake: When director Sam Wannamaker is talking to Rick, who is sitting in the makeup chair, Rick's hair goes from loosely hanging down on his forehead to suddenly being neatly slicked all the way back without it having been touched.

Taken (2008)

Continuity mistake: Just after Kim was taken from under the bed, Brian talks to the Albanian on Kim's cell phone. Just after the bad guy tells Brian, "Good luck," the loud clicking sound of a heavy, old-style phone receiver being hung up is then heard, disconnecting them. However, a cell phone does not make that sound when a call is ended.

Disclosure (1994)

Factual error: "A Friend's" emails sent from the Univ. Of Washington look ridiculous with just some text and an abbreviated name on a colored background. UW emails have a white background, the addresses have a "uw.edu" domain name and show staff name, credentials, title, and department. The UW name, logo, and other info are always included. Prof. Friend's student assistant (son of Tom's co-worker) sent the emails from Friend's office, but he could have sent anonymous ones from any computer using Yahoo, Google, etc.

Fred: How many men did you date before we met?
Jackie: Well, you mean dated at all or dated seriously?
Fred: I mean seriously.

Dear Mom and Dad - S1-E22

Halloween IV - S5-E7

Plot hole: Just before Roseanne arrives at the Lodge Halloween party, Fischer is holding a small object in his hand that he slightly adjusts to a certain position. Roseanne then arrives dressed as Lady Liberty. When she raises her torch and asks someone for a light, Fischer immediately flicks on the cigarette lighter that he was already conveniently holding and ready to ignite for no apparent reason.

Like a Virgin - S3-E3

Plot hole: Before her date, Becky asks Roseanne to help style her hair. After the family teases her, Becky says she'll just do it herself. Shortly after, she comes downstairs with a perfectly executed and complicated French-braid hairstyle that would be all but impossible to have done by herself and in such a short amount of time.

Roseanne (1988)

Friends and Relatives - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Roseanne is talking on the phone to Jackie, she continually moves around the kitchen while preparing dinner. The extra-long phone cord goes from being completely wrapped around her waist to just being behind her, then wrapped around her again, without moving in a way that would unwind it.

Roseanne (1988)

Like, a New Job - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Darlene and Becky's second-story bedroom window is on the side of the house and at the house's backside (D.J.'s room is at the front). However, when the girls argue and throw each other's items out the window, everything falls into the front yard, as viewed from the living room. Even if they threw stuff from the house's front, the roof extends too far out below two smaller upper windows. Everything would land on the roof.

How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall? - S4-E8

Lenny: What are you wearing?
Midge: I'm wearing my show corset.
Lenny: You have a show corset?
Midge: Yes.
Lenny: How is this different from, say, your dentist corset?
Midge: It's much more likely to suffocate me. It's also prettier.
Lenny: Yep. It's always the pretty ones who try to kill you.
