Keep Going - S14-E13

Other mistake: While panning the front of Gibbs' home, the roof of one vehicle and the windshield/passenger mirror of a second can be seen behind the gate/fence in Gibbs' driveway behind his truck. He lives alone and does not share a driveway with other homes. In reality, Gibbs' home is located at 2647 S. Magnolia Ave in LA, and the vehicles likely belong to the real residents/homeowner.

The Unit (2006)

Dedication - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As stated in another entry, Brown states that they are in a Huey when they are actually shown in a JetRanger. Later on, after twice showing night shots of a JetRanger flying overhead, they are shown in the cargo area of a Huey, then are shown flying and deploying out of a Huey. (00:04:30)

The Unit (2006)

Dedication - S1-E7

Character mistake: When they show the helicopter containing Alpha team, it is a Bell 206 JetRanger, and the sound effects match it, but Brown says "This is the first time I'm on a Huey." The Huey and JetRanger look and sound nothing alike. (03:25:00)

Hostage (2005)

Continuity mistake: In the final shootout scene, Jeff is holding a Colt 1911 style pistol, which is single action only. This means that it must be cocked prior to firing it the first time, or squeezing the trigger will have no effect. When he is holding his hands up, the hammer is cocked back like it should be, but when the camera zooms in on his face, the hammer is down. When the camera backs out again, the hammer is cocked again.

The Matrix (1999)

Revealing mistake: When Neo stops the bullets being shot at him in mid air and they fall, you can see that there are not grooves in the bullets. As a bullet passes through a barrel, it picks up the impressions of the lands and grooves of the barrel. Since the Matrix is a simulation of our world, including the involved physics, the lack of rifling grooves is an oversight by the special effects team.

Raw Deal (1986)

Raw Deal mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When Arnold throws the bad guy through the glass door at the dress shop, it shatters a split second prior to him going through it. (00:55:40)

Poseidon (2006)

Factual error: When the ballast tank valves open, they open by dropping down, which would be impossible with the pressure of the water pressing against it. Regardless of the domino effect of the water flowing, it's tremendous pressure.

Ian Hunt

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

Suggested correction: It's actually very much possible. These PRV are designed to open when the pressure in the tank reaches a certain setting, which is equal to or slightly higher than the max design pressure of the tank. Plus, a gate valve of that size can only be operated with hydraulic oil plungers, capable of generating 150+ bar to lift the valve in a normal operation. Since the ship is upside down, the valve slides down; the weight of the valve then would require less hydraulic pressure to open.

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

Continuity mistake: When Summer is singing in the park, her hair changes from in front of her shoulder to behind her shoulder in between shots.

Ian Hunt

12th Feb 2008

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

Factual error: Throughout the movie, which mainly takes place in the early and mid 90's, the cars that are seen are from the late 90's and early 2000's. The easiest to spot are the taxis, which are the 1998 and above versions of the Ford Crown Victoria.

Ian Hunt

12th Feb 2008

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

Continuity mistake: While out to dinner with William, Summer has her wine glass in her hand one minute, and when the shot changes her hands are under the table - too quickly for her to have put the wine down.

Ian Hunt

Living Legend - S7-E9

Continuity mistake: When the victim is hit by the car, it shows him get run over by the front right wheel of the limo. Later on, the body is "thrown 45 feet" and is ahead of the stopped limo.

Ian Hunt

30th Jan 2008

The Pacifier (2005)

Revealing mistake: When Shane is fighting the two ninjas, they are armed with expandable batons, which are tubular hardened steel. During the fight sequences you can see the plastic batons bending repeatedly.

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: At the Italian restaurant, Daniel asks for just a touch of cheese on his broccoli. With the camera on the broccoli, Eduardo pours so much cheese on it that it overflows. Off shot you can see him continue to pour, so you'd assume that it would be absolutely saturated and a big mess, but when they pan back to the table, the broccoli has very little, if any, cheese on it.

Ian Hunt

Other mistake: When Daniel goes into the sushi place and he looks at the sushi that will "make him throw up", it's just rubber bait food.

The Dirty Dozen (1967)

Other mistake: When the Major shoots the rope out from under the slow soldier, the rounds should have gone through the floor but did not. There aren't even marks on the floor.

Ian Hunt

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Blondie is saved by the mortar shell, and it shows the empty noose, it is completely different than the noose that Blondie had around his neck. The loop that the noose went through to hold it to the beam has changed.

Ian Hunt

23rd Dec 2007

Until Death (2007)

Factual error: During the big shootout at the end, Stowe picks up a Beretta semi-automatic gun after killing the owner, who is trying to reload it. Stowe inserts a magazine, sends the slide forward, and then racks the slide. A complete round should have ejected but did not.

Ian Hunt

Revealing mistake: Airbags are made out of a super strong fabric material with heavy weaving. There's no way McClane would be able to tear it. You can see the texture difference between McClane's fake airbag and the real passenger side airbag.

Ian Hunt

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

Suggested correction: Incorrect, the driver's airbag is designed in such a way it can be ripped out. This is a safety feature to be used in a life or death situation if the car is still driveable. For instance, if someone rams you off the road and the airbag deploys, you can rip it off and continue driving to try and escape the assailant.

Live Free or Die Hard mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where McClane rebuffs Ferrell for thinking it would be cool to do the firesale, you can see pipes for firehoses right behind McClane. When the shot changes to a long alley shot, the pipes are a good ten feet away, but when it reverts back to a closeup, the pipes are back to right behind McClane. (00:55:20)

Last Man Standing (1996)

Factual error: When Smith shoots the first man with his twin .45s, the man flies back about 30-40 feet. In reality, he might fall back a foot or two, but he certainly wouldn't be propelled anywhere by simple bullets.

Ian Hunt

10th Dec 2007

The Condemned (2007)

10th Dec 2007

The Condemned (2007)

Factual error: When Jack pulls the battery plate out of the battery to conceal his GPS signal, he slides it out easily. For one, the plates are perforated and second, they're attached inside of the battery. Also, when they show the top of the battery, the hole is too small for him to slide the plate out, and he's not strong enough to tear the plastic by hand.

Ian Hunt

10th Dec 2007

The Condemned (2007)

Factual error: When the Brit is firing the shotgun, he fires it nearly a dozen times. The capacity of a short shotgun like that would be 7 at the most.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: It's been proven that when falling fast towards water, breaking the surface tension makes no difference in it's "softness", yet XXX is fine when he falls into the water after shooting it. If he fell for 5 seconds he would be going 60-70 mph and would certainly be injured or killed upon impact.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: The Cobra is doing about 160-170 when XXX jumps onto the tracks. At that speed, any sort of erratic movement would cause the complete loss of control, even without jumping tracks to get airborne. (01:24:20)

Ian Hunt

Factual error: In the first fire scene, Chuck and Larry go into an actively burning building with no air masks on - that would NEVER happen.

Ian Hunt

28th Nov 2007

Until Death (2007)

Factual error: In the restaurant shootout, the man shoots at Stowe with a 12 gauge shotgun from just a few feet away. When the projectiles hit the wall, there are only four or five and have approximately a 6 inch spread. Even an open choke shotgun with a short barrel would have a 2-3" spread at most at that range.

Ian Hunt

27th Nov 2007

Until Death (2007)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the undercover cop says the combination is 666. But the lock has a 4 digit combination.

Ian Hunt

27th Nov 2007

Until Death (2007)

Continuity mistake: When Stowe walks into the police station for the first time after waking up, he is wearing a necklace. The next shot shows he isn't.

Ian Hunt

27th Nov 2007

Until Death (2007)

Factual error: When the older cop is in the trench at the end and his pistol runs empty, the slide doesn't lock to the rear as a Beretta should.

Ian Hunt

27th Nov 2007

Until Death (2007)

Factual error: When Stowe and Callaghan shoot each other at the end, the CGI shell casings have huge, unrealistic primers.

Ian Hunt

Killer - S6-E15

Factual error: Brown states that silencers are not able to be purchased and are illegal. Not true. A silencer can be legally purchased providing the proper forms are completed with the ATF.

Ian Hunt

Continuity mistake: When the Asian Minister has the pen in his hand with the big flat end piece on it, you can see it goes from having the logo in front to back a couple of times.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: Firemen are no longer allowed to hang onto the side of a moving firetruck like depicted in the beginning of the movie.

Ian Hunt

15th Nov 2007

Heartbreak Ridge (1986)

Continuity mistake: When Highway goes to his ex-wife's house and pours her a beer in a glass, it has about an inch of head on it. When the camera angle changes there's no head on the beer.

Ian Hunt

12th Nov 2007

The Negotiator (1998)

Plot hole: A shot person in an ambulance with no medical attention? At the bare minimum the medics would check vitals, start an IV, clear the wound area (probably remove the entire shirt) and get an eval for the ER.

Ian Hunt

12th Nov 2007

The Negotiator (1998)

Factual error: When Sabian views Niebaum's chair, you can see the bullet holes through the chair and into the desk behind it. The SWAT members were using 9mm MP5s, and they would use hollow point ammunition. Hollowpoints bloom when entering the body and do not pass through. Even if they used full metal jacket rounds, 9mm still wouldn't pass through a 250 lb man, a chair, and into a metal desk.

Ian Hunt

Reno 911!: Miami (2007)

Revealing mistake: When Junior pushes through the rotten whale, you can see the cut in the fabric "skin" and the sponge foam right beneath it.

Hitch (2005)

3rd Sep 2007

Road House (1989)

Revealing mistake: Right before Bigfoot drives through the dealership, you can see that the doors and windows of the dealership are on temporary stands and not attached to the concrete. (01:25:15)

Ian Hunt

3rd Sep 2007

Hitch (2005)

Continuity mistake: Right after Hitch has his bout with food poisoning and he's talking to Sara on the couch, her hair changes. For most of her speech about her sister falling through the ice, the hair on the right side of her face is behind her shoulder. Towards the end of the story it goes in front of her shoulder and then at the end it's back behind it.

Stardust (2007)

Revealing mistake: At the end fight scene when Lamia is laughing, you can see that her teeth are only darkened in the front, not the rear. (01:55:10)

The Pacifier (2005)

Continuity mistake: When the Captain and Mrs. Plummer return in the black Ford Crown Victoria, the Ford emblem is missing on the grill. When the Crown Vic crashes into the car dealership later on, the Ford emblem is intact.

Ian Hunt

17th Aug 2007

Superbad (2007)

Factual error: When Fogle shoots the cop's pistol at the burning police car, the safety on the Smith and Wesson pistol is activated. He fires the weapon until it is empty and continues to dry fire (click) the pistol anyway. On the Smith and Wesson, the side levers are in Safe mode when pushed down. When the last round is fired, the slide locks back and the gun wouldn't be able to dry fire.

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Hot Fuzz mistake picture

Revealing mistake: After Angel gets shot in the vest, you get a good closeup of his bandoleer of shotgun shells. You can see the gold paint rubbed off on the primer side of the cartridges, revealing the red plastic underneath. You can also see that the end of the round either just has paper stuffed into it or is completely empty. A real shotgun round will have a brass cap/primer and the end will either be folded completely over (like the shutter of a camera) or show a rifled slug inside. (01:37:20)

Ian Hunt

5th Aug 2007

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Hot Fuzz mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: The floating contact mine that explodes at the end of the movie would never have been put in an evidence room in a police station. Barring that error for the plot's sake, FCMs weigh 450lbs and would have required a hydraulic crane and a cart to move it, not just a couple of guys. They also did not contain clocks. (00:42:40)

Ian Hunt

5th Aug 2007

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Hot Fuzz mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the officer holding the double barrel shotgun has it broken open to reload it, you can see that the primers have been dimpled, meaning that they've been fired. The rifle is closed up again without the spent shells being replaced. (01:41:10)

Ian Hunt

5th Aug 2007

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Hot Fuzz mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the Sergeant has the shotguns in the backpack on his back, and you see a close up of his face, you can see that the shotguns do not have triggers. On plastic prop rifles, the trigger is usually molded into the trigger guard in the pulled back position, and you can see this on these prop shotguns.

Ian Hunt

30th Jul 2007

Money Talks (1997)

Continuity mistake: During the chase of the Caprice and the Jaguar, the damage on the Caprice constantly changes. Right before the car jumps off the overpass, it has lots of front end damage. When it's in the air it's clean but after it's landed it's torn up again.

Ian Hunt

6th Feb 2007

Black Dog (1998)

Factual error: When Patrick Swayze's truck was pushing the other truck up the bridge, there was no airflow going over the radiator. Under the enormous stress that the engine was going through (read: heat generation) there's no way it wouldn't have overheated, and quickly. (00:47:05)

Continuity mistake: The nose of Crew's truck is bent before he even rams the truck when they attempt to box him in. (00:46:45)

The Guardian (2006)

The Guardian mistake picture

Character mistake: In the training room, after Randall is discussed as the record holder, the students are brought to attention. All but one is standing at attention, he is in the back on the right hand side, standing at ease.

Ian Hunt

The Guardian (2006)

Audio problem: When Randall walks into Maggie's Hanger for the first time in the film, Maggie is singing. As she goes to greet Randall she hands her microphone to a backup singer to take over, who can be heard taking over the singing, but she doesn't use the microphone for a few seconds.

The Substitute (1996)

Other mistake: Early in the movie when Shale is screening the commercial for his "services," the rolling text describing his abilities lists "Helicopter Repelling" instead of "Helicopter Rapelling".

Ian Hunt

20th Jan 2007

The Substitute (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Shale gets in the fight in the library, he takes a round to the upper left chest. When he takes the shirt off to reveal the vest there's no bullet and no damage to the vest.

Ian Hunt

The Substitute (1996)

Continuity mistake: Rollie breaks the paddle behind his desk, but later on in the movie you can see it behind him and it's unbroken.

The Substitute (1996)

Trivia: The movie was shot during the summer months and kids enrolled in summer classes were extras on the film. Free Papa John's pizza was served to anyone who would stay after school.

20th Jan 2007

The Substitute (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Shale goes to interrogate the guy at the Jai Alai court the guy tries to hit him with the balls. He puts one in his cesta (the scoop on his hand) and it falls out as he tries to launch it but a ball still launches at Shale.

Visible crew/equipment: At the shooting range you can see a reflection of the filming camera in the mirrors as it moves in front of the building.

The Dukes of Hazzard mistake picture

Dear Diary - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: While it's forgiven that the Generals usually have subtle changes through episodes and the series, in this episode we see a General with extremely inconsistent graphics when Bo and Luke deliver the counterfeit money to Winston. The 0 is off and the bottom of the 1 is extremely long.

Ian Hunt

18th Jan 2007

F/X2 (1991)

Deliberate mistake: Smoke from a smoke machine smells very acrid, is standard temperature and would never be confused with hot steam from a shower. The man with the knife would have suspected something is wrong once he was in range to smell and feel the "steam". (00:26:35)

Ian Hunt

18th Jan 2007

F/X2 (1991)

Revealing mistake: When Rollie is hanging from the ladder and the bolt breaks, you can see the smoke from the exploding bolt. (00:42:50)

Ian Hunt

27th Dec 2006

The Wicker Man (2006)

Factual error: Willow drops cartridges on the ground that appear to be .45ACP rounds. These are considerably larger than the 9mm rounds that Edward's Beretta pistol would actually use.

Ian Hunt

Trivia: When Sean is learning how to drift at the docks, the fisherman that comments about his drifting is actually the real Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya. The comments about betting on the '72 Skyline and '86 Corolla are throwbacks to him as well as the Skyline was his first drift car and the Corolla was one of his favorites.

Ian Hunt

27th Dec 2006

The Wicker Man (2006)

Continuity mistake: In the woods on the island, when Edward first meets Sister Willow, he is about to close his sports coat, and in the next shot of him, the sports coat is buttoned up. After a quick shot of Sister Willow, in the next shot of Edward, his coat is entirely unbuttoned and open again.

Ian Hunt

27th Dec 2006

Deck the Halls (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Steve Finch crosses the street to talk to Buddy Hall outside the hardware store, he raises his collar around his neck. Slightly further on in the scene, when the two are in front of the tree, he places his hands in his pockets. The two then walk back to Hall's pickup, at which point Finch's collar is down, and returns to being up when they finish walking. At no time does Finch remove his hands from his pockets.

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: When Leo gets his Subway sandwich, he complains that it's tuna. When he holds it up a dark red lunch meat is visible, like salami.

Ian Hunt

27th Sep 2006

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Factual error: When Riggs and Murtaugh rappel from the container they have no gloves. Considering how fast they descended 20-30 feet, their hands would have suffered very bad rope burn.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: At the Talladega 500 race you can see the Food City 500 logo in the infield when they show the blimp view of the track.

Ian Hunt

Factual error: When Ricky goes to race Talladega the last time and they lift the hood of his (now) Ford race car, the engine is obviously a street engine and not a race one. A chrome GM alternator with standard drive pulley, chrome air filter with K&N element and a host of other items on the engine simply aren't used. The motor pictured is a 302 with alum. heads.

Ian Hunt

Gone in 60 Seconds mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the Firebird is getting crushed the rear center cap is there and gone alternately. The dirt on the driver's door is also different, showing that two identical Firebirds were crushed. (00:16:50)
