Stupidity: Once the marines have climbed down into Phobos compound, and have entered through the airlock door, they check the control gauge to see if the O2 levels are good. They were aware this was something that needed to be checked, but they brought no protective equipment with them in case the air was unsuitable to breathe.

Casual Person

Stupidity: The marines all wear helmets as part of their protective gear when they go into the Phobos compound, but Bennett and Akua do not wear any helmets at all. They wear bullet proof vests and arm themselves with weapons, but unlike the other marines, they go in without any way of protecting their heads.

The Invisible Man (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Adrian's throat gets slit, he is shown clutching his neck with his hand, then falls from the chair he is sitting on and collapses onto the floor. He is also shown banging his hand on the table whilst he falls over. This same moment is then shown again on the CCTV camera, but here, he is shown falling from the chair and collapsing onto the floor, all while clutching onto his neck the entire time. The moment where he bangs his hand on the table is not shown.

Welcome Home (2018)

Factual error: The opening scene shows Cassie and Bryan booking their holiday on a laptop. The dates that they book the holiday home are between May 5th 2018 and May 12th 2018, which means the movie is set in 2018. But later in the movie, when Cassie finds the video of Bryan with the two women on his phone, the date is listed as "Sunday, May 7", and May 7th 2018 was a Monday, not a Sunday. (00:01:05 - 01:10:55)

Character mistake: The letter from the FBI containing the results of the blood and semen test is filled with numerous typos. First, on the line "Subject: Result of examination requested", the word "examination" is misspelled "examnation." Second, the term "DNA instrumental analyses" has "instrumental" incorrectly spelled as "insrumental." Third, the line "Reference: Letter dated October 21, 1987", has the word "dated" misspelled as "dateed" and the month "October" misspelled as "Octorber." (01:58:35)

Bottle Rocket (1996)

Visible crew/equipment: Whilst Dignan is leaving the motel, Inez gets Rocky to say to Dignan "Tell Anthony, I love him", to which Dignan says "All right, man, okay" and walks off. The following shot after this is of Dignan walking past the side of a building. Right at the start of the shot, for a split second, the reflection of the cameraman can be seen reflected in the window beside him. (00:48:45)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Cecilia and Adrian are speaking at the dinner table towards the end, after Adrian says "I would burn everything I own just to prove that to you", Cecilia says "okay" and Adrian also replies with "okay." At this moment, Adrian's hands are placed on the table. In the next shot, Adrian's hands are suddenly raised slightly, above the table.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the investigator begins confessing to the other police officers, one of them has him eat a handful of salt. After eating the salt, tiny salt grains can be seen on his lip, and can be seen on his lip for the following minute whilst he is trying to convince them he was the killer. When he says "But I left fingerprints all over her apartment", a larger amount of salt can be seen on his upper chin that wasn't there a minute earlier. (01:45:52 - 01:46:57)

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After speaking with the plumber at the Homicide Decision, the investigator and a colleague begin walking down a hallway and the colleague puts his hand on the investigator's arm. When this happens, the investigator has a small cup of espresso raised up to his face. When the camera changes angles, the small cup of espresso is suddenly lowered away from his face. (01:23:15)

Casual Person

Other mistake: At the docks, when Min-jung is inside the truck that is surrounded by zombies, there is a moment shown from inside the truck where the helicopter is shown in the background. The helicopter is far off in the distance, but when Min-jung begins to put the machine gun under her chin to shoot herself with, Jung-seok and Min-jung's daughters (who are standing right next to the helicopter) can see exactly what Min-jung is doing inside the truck, even though it should be too far away for her to see what is going on. (01:45:13 - 01:45:39)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: After seeing the helicopter that her father called for, Min-jung reaches for a machine gun that is lying on the ground, using her right hand. When the shot cuts, she is using her left hand. (01:42:51)

Casual Person

Factual error: When Chul-min is shot by Sergeant Hwang, it takes only a couple of seconds for him to die. The bullet hit Chul-min on the left-hand side of his upper chest and was only shot once. No human being on the planet can die from a single bullet wound to the chest that quickly. It would have taken a couple of minutes, maybe even longer, for him to die from that. (01:20:35)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: After Jung-seok runs into the hideout, it cuts to Sergeant Hwang inside the zombie pit shouting "Number 61", where he pushes a button to release zombies into the pit. In the first shot of Hwang, there is a man beside him who has his elbow resting against a handrail and has his lower arm positioned behind the edge of the handrail. In the next shot, the same man now has his lower arm positioned over the edge of the handrail. (01:15:55)

Casual Person

Audio problem: Sergeant Hwang asks Captain Seo if he can have some of his gin. Whilst Seo is walking over to his desk, right as he says "Got something to report", the sound of the gin being poured from the bottle and into a glass can be heard. Immediately after the sound of the gin being poured is heard, we can suddenly heard the sound of the bottle being placed on the desk. There is no way these two sounds would have been heard instantly. After Hwang poured the gin into the glass, he would have had to turn the bottle from a rotated position to an upright position and then lower it down onto the desk, so a few seconds would had to have passed in between the two sounds, but there wasn't. (01:10:30)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Captain Seo walks into a room to find Sergeant Hwang looking at bottle of gin. Just after Hwang says "Johnny Walker Black Label", he turns his head away from the bottle, looks forwards, then begins to turn his head to the left to face Seo. In the next shot, Hwang is still looking at the bottle, before turning to face Seo. (01:10:00)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Min-jung is about to get out of the car, she asks her daughter to hug her. In one shot, her right hand is at a rotated angle, but in the next shot, her right hand is suddenly at a straight angle. (01:05:04)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Chul-min gets the number 61 spray painted on his torso and back, at the compound. When the soldiers begin taking him to the shipping container to lock him in, the number 6 on his torso is smudged. A minute later, when the inmates begin going into the zombie pit, the 6 on his torso is no longer has the smudging shown earlier. (00:50:55 - 00:52:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Chul-min is being cornered by the other soldiers at the compound, a man walks up to him with a knife to cut his shirt off. In one shot, the knife is being pointed at a diagonal, but slightly upward position. In the next shot, he is holding the knife in an entirely vertical position. (00:50:02)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the 3rd platoon returns to the hideout, just as Sergeant Hwang says "Private Kim! Isn't it beautiful?", he is standing next to a tall soldier with long hair that is tied back. The shot changes to a different angle and the sergeant is now standing a foot or two ahead of the tall soldier. (00:43:31)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Sergeant Hwang is thrown a javelin to stab one of the team members who assisted in getting the money. When he catches the javelin, his hand is placed over some tape that has been wrapped around it. The camera cuts to a different angle where his hand is now placed slightly above the tape. Then two shots after, his hand is positioned much further up the javelin. (00:39:03)
