Premium Rush (2012)

Visible crew/equipment: At 5:17pm, after Manny asks Wilee to bike ride with him in Central Park, Wilee is seen driving through traffic. There is one shot where he rides past a silver Ford. Behind the silver Ford is a taxi, and if you look carefully, you'll see a boom mic reflected on the car. It can't be a lamp post, because the item on top is too big and super fluffy to be a lamp post. This is only visible for a split second and visible just as the taxi becomes out of frame as the camera pans around Wilee. (00:07:45)

Premium Rush mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Wilee phones Manny early on in the movie, Wilee unlocks the chain to his bike and the bike and chain fall to the floor. Wilee then picks up the chain and doesn't pick up the bike. But by the time he finishes the call with Manny, the bike is now back to being laid against the tree, when it was on the ground moments earlier. (00:05:00)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: The shot after Tintin says "We can't give up now" shows Tintin, Haddock and the Sherpas hiking through a dry hill. Over the first hill is a part of the ground that is black. As the shot continues, an extra part of black ground instantly appears from nowhere, as if the animators forgot to draw the black ground during the first half of shot. (00:11:55)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Tharkey re-enters the plane where he and Haddock made camp, Haddock asks "Any sign of him?" Tharkey replies and you'll see the sky in the background is grey due to the storm. Shot cuts to a wide angle where night suddenly comes from outside of the window. (00:16:55)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Just after Haddock finishes saying "That's not my idea of a vacation," he goes to read his newspaper. On the front page of this newspaper is a headline that reads "Ray Jones." About seven seconds after this happens, the shot returns to Haddock where we can see the headline is now twice as small as it was before. (00:01:55)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Audio problem: Tintin wakes after having his nightmare and causes mayhem across the room. Haddock later says, "You were dreaming about that crash on the news" somehow without his mouth syncing up with the speech during the second half of this line. (00:03:55)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Haddock points out to Tintin he was dreaming about the crash on the news, the background shows a pitch black sky (around 11 o'clock sky). Yet a further two shots later, the background shows a partially lighter sky (still night, around 7 o'clock). (00:03:55)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: After finding out Chang was in the plane crash, Tintin shouts "No!" Directly 180 degrees in the background is a woman sitting on a table. In different shots of Tintin, that same woman is seen sitting on a table almost 140 degrees in the background. (00:05:15)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Haddock starts lowering Tharkey into the cave, a rope is wrapped around a walking stick. There are three loops around the stick to begin with. A couple of shots later in a close-up of the stick, there are now only two loops in the rope. (00:19:05)

Other mistake: When Tintin enters the cave, the footsteps follow behind him. An animation error occurs regarding one footstep, in which half of it vanishes from shot for a quick frame and then reappears as the shot starts to pan, revealing that the footsteps were not drawn by the animators in each individual frame.

Oblivion (2013)

Question: What is it about the moon being destroyed that caused loads of earthquakes and tsunamis?

Casual Person

Chosen answer: The moon's own gravity affects the Earth, most notably in the form of ocean tides. Over the eons a balance has been established between the two celestial bodies. When the moon was destroyed, that balance was thrown out of whack and the Earth basically adjusted itself. Sort of like if you hold a ball bearing to the inside of a bowl near the top with a magnet on the outside; remove the magnet and the ball bearing suddenly drops and careens around inside the bowl until it finally comes to a rest at the bottom. That rolling around would be analogous to the earthquakes and tsunamis that resulted from the moon's destruction in this film.
