Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Continuity mistake: About 3/4 of the way through, CJ is on the roof of the gun shop and blows up a tank of propane to clear the zombies so everyone can escape. The truck that was blocking the door was their only way in and out of the shop. On their way into the gun shop you see two zombies follow them through the truck to the shop's entrance, but when he blasts the propane, somehow I guess they get cooked. My nitpick is that when CJ goes the same path as the others, there is a dead zombie blocking his exit through the truck's door. If the others already went out that same door they would have had to move that burned zombie to get through the truck.

Factual error: In the cemetery scene about 1/4 through the movie, you see a corpse with meal worms eating its head. It's a cemetery, not a bait shop. What, is the corpse a fisherman? I am pretty sure you would never see this in real life. Meal worms eat mostly bran, fruit and vegetables and fish eat them. Worms and maggots yeah, but not mealies.

Cabin Fever (2002)

Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when Paul checks on Karen (obvious dummy), she is lying on her right side while the dog is attacking her. After Paul gets chased out by the dog and kills it, he returns, and Karen is now on her left side. She didn't have the strength to move when the dog was biting her, so how could she turn over?

Continuity mistake: Throughout the movie, the van of teens passes the Blair Meat Co. and the gas station, which are on the right side of the road. Then at the end of the movie when Erin flags down a trucker, he is heading the same direction except the meat company is now on the left side of the road. The gas station, however, is still on the right side. If they were on the same side of the street before, how could this be? They don't show either driver making any turns.

Lionheart (1990)

Audio problem: Near the middle of the movie, in the scene when Van Damme's friend Joshua is taking Helene money, you see that the military police have set up a surveillance across the street. They show the policeman's point of view as he is looking through binoculars. You can hear Joshua spray breath freshener into his mouth. The window is closed and they are too far away to hear this on a busy street.

Resident Evil (2002)

Audio problem: Near the middle. When Matt is searching through the office room where his sister Lisa worked, you can hear his shoes clicking as if he is on a hard surface floor, but the floor is covered in carpet throughout the office. (00:49:00)

Lionheart (1990)

Continuity mistake: Near the middle. In the fight scene between Van Damme and the Scotsman, Van Damme gets poked in the left eye. He then gets thrown onto a parked car. As he gets up he is now grabbing his right eye instead of the left one that just got poked.

Crossroads (2002)

Continuity mistake: 2/3 of the way through, in the scene when Kit is on the phone with her boyfriend, you see Ben and Lucy on the bed working on a song. Lucy is lying on the bed writing words down. The scene cuts from Kit on the phone to shots containing Lucy. When you see Lucy sometimes she is lying in a position with her head down on her arm and sometimes she is up on her elbows. The scenes are switching back and forth very quickly and looks funny because how the heck is the song getting written with her flopping all over like that?

Death Wish II (1982)

Other mistake: Towards the end of the movie when Paul Kersey goes into the doctors' locker room to steal an ID tag, he checks several lockers to see if they will open. All the lockers that he tries are unfortunately locked. The problem is there are no locks on any of the lockers. (01:13:55)
