Corrected entry: Rick wakes from his coma with a perfectly trimmed beard. Clearly the hospital had been abandoned for a while, so no-one to trim it. (00:15:00)

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Miracle - S7-E9
Corrected entry: The pharmacist's plan is really stupid. He changes all their meds so they don't work, after drinking from the fountain he changed them back so it appears the fountain healed them. The problem is if they think the fountain healed them they're not going to take their meds, so their pain would come back.
Correction: He didn't just change their medication so it didn't work, he changed it so they actually got sicker or worse. Even if they stopped taking their real medication, they'd still feel better than before when they were worse off and still think it was the fountain. But since he wasn't trying to scam anyone out of any money, he didn't need a long term solution for when their pain came back. Just enough to stop the monastery from digging up the fountain.

Charmed (1998)
Love Hurts - S1-E21
Corrected entry: After the darklighter takes Daisy, Phoebe suggests switching powers back would be faster, Leo says it would take too long. In the time it takes Leo to coach Piper and help her locate Daisy, they could have switched powers, Leo could have located her, and orbed them all to Daisy.
Correction: Leo states that he is still too weak to use his powers which is why it would take longer if they switched powers back.

Frequency (2000)
Corrected entry: When Satch tells John for the first time that his mother is now a Nightingale victim John is surprised and has no idea. But he should, he got all new memories for everything that changed so he should have memories of his mom being a victim and investigating it.
Correction: He does have memories of working the case, but he is confused because he also has memories of his mother being alive. The same thing happens with the memories of his father dying in a fire but then surviving that fire later. John describes it as confusing because he has both sets of memories.
7th Dec 2018
Rampage (2018)
Corrected entry: The wolf and crocodile have added physical traits such as spikes and quills, but George looks exactly as he did before, with the exception of the growth.
Correction: How is this a mistake? George simply didn't experience the same random mutations as the other animals. Either that, or the genes of the other species were manipulated in a very specific way on purpose.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Corrected entry: In Guardians of the Galaxy, Gamora's backstory is that she is the only one of her kind left. But here we're told Thanos killed half her planet and kidnapped her, meaning half of her people are still alive. He even says "the children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. [Zen-Whoberi] is a paradise."
Correction: The Russo Bros commented on this. This isn't a mistake. They asked the audience who they trust more: Gamora or Thanos?
Asking the audience who they trust more doesn't make it not a mistake. In one movie it was one thing, they changed it to something else in another. That's a mistake.
That assumes Thanos never lies. There's no reason to think that. Movie characters LIE ALL THE time. Thanos is trying to convince Gamora, who we later learn he actually loves (possibly the only person he's ever loved), to believe in his cause as much as he does. The Russo's point is that Gamora was in fact the last of her race, and Thanos was lying to win her over. A continuity mistake is something that can't be reasonably explained. This can be.
22nd Sep 2018
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Corrected entry: It is revealed that Loki's scepter is holding an infinity stone. That would mean Thanos willingly gave Loki, a trickster he doesn't even know, the only infinity stone he had at the time. That makes no sense.
Correction: This isn't a plot hole, merely a plot point. Thanos needs all of the infinity stones. Realistically, the mind stone alone isn't much use to Thanos, but it gives Loki an advantage in acquiring the Space Stone. By using the mind stone, Loki is able to build a team of people to help him, and turn his enemies against each other and he was very nearly successful in achieving his goal. It is also made clear in the film that Thanos and The Other can punish Loki for failure without having to be on Earth with him. Loki's fear of Thanos would keep him in line.
Correction: Thanos used Loki to gain the Tesseract, the space stone and gave Loki the mind stone to help the Chitauri invade Earth and retrieve the space stone for him.
Thanos has been searching for the stones for for a very long time, finds one, but gives it away to gain another. That makes 0 sense, considering he needs all 6 to complete his task.
As the other correction states, one stone alone isn't all that useful to him though. He can still exert control over Loki, so he's not giving it away, he's just providing Loki with a tool to get another one, then Thanos will claim them both.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: How did the mosasarurus survive that long without food? I know the writer of the film says this part takes place a week after the first movie but that's not true. The remains of the Indominus Rex are just a skeleton, that takes a lot longer than a week. And the mosasarurus could have been feeding on it, but then the remains wouldn't have been intact.
Correction: It could have fed on the other dinosaurs roaming the park that came too close to its lake.
Correction: Colin Trevorrow says the beginning of the film takes place between a week or a month, not necessarily a week, also it could've eaten the Indominus rex slowly or any pteranodons that flew to close to the surface, it was already freed for 2-3 years when Fallen Kingdom actually starts.
3rd Sep 2018
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film Heimdall sends the Hulk to earth to warn them Thanos is on his way. When Strange finds him, he's Banner and he remembers everything. The problem is in Thor: Ragnarok Banner had been the Hulk for 2 years and had no memory of what had happened during that time. He shouldn't remember what happened with Thanos either.
Correction: We don't know enough about Banner's transformations into the Hulk to say definitively what he should or shouldn't remember. It's implied in "Thor: Ragnarok" that each of them had "one hand on the wheel" but that the Hulk was trying to completely take over, which would account for Hulk being in control for two years and Banner not remembering anything. By the time Hulk fights Thanos in this film, the Hulk had only been around for a short amount of time (a few hours at most), so it's entirely possible that Banner could remember most if not everything that happened in that timeframe.
Correction: At the end of Thor: Ragnarok he had returned to his form as Bruce Banner. We don't know when he transformed back into Hulk, but it was presumably after Thanos attacked the ship. Therefore Bruce would be aware of Thanos as a threat. He may not have transformed until the moment before he charged Thanos, in which case he would have heard a lot of Thanos' plan.
He actually transformed back into the Hulk while on Asgard to fight Fenris the wolf. Assuming they've been flying for several weeks when Thanos attacks, the Hulk would have been in control the entire time since he never transformed back. More than likely the reason Banner remembers Thanos is because he warns them as he is transforming back from the Hulk. We also see the Hulk communicating with Banner more during the film (in his refusal to help out) so while Hulk doesn't want to actually come back out, Banner is still able to retain the information that Hulk possesses.
Yes. He would have most likely turn as soon as there was a threat. So he wouldn't know Thanos was coming to earth. Banner knew how big a threat Thanos was which he wouldn't know if he turned right away.
14th Jun 2018
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Corrected entry: Why are Steve Rogers and Natasha so surprised when they see Bruce? Bruce called Steve, so he already knew Bruce was going to be there and he would have told Natasha where the information came from so she would have also known.
Correction: They aren't surprised to see him, it's just an awkward atmosphere between Bruce and Natasha seeing each other for the first time in a couple of years. Steve looks right at him with a fairly neutral face.
5th Nov 2017
Child's Play 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: Why is Chucky's skull metal? Tommy's isn't as evidenced by Chucky crushing his head with a piece of porcelain. It doesn't make sense that they'd make one doll out of metal and the rest out of plastic.
Correction: Chucky is more updated than Tommy, meaning that Tommy just hasn't been made with a metal head yet.
There is no evidence to support this, nothing in the film says when Chuck or Tommy was made, Tommy could have been made long before Chuck for all we know.
3rd Apr 2017
Final Destination (2000)
Corrected entry: Why are the FBI investigating Alex? After it was determined the plane explosion was a malfunction, they should have left. FBI don't investigate teen suicide, bus accidents or a teacher's death.
Correction: Because he had a vision of the plane "exploding" and find that very weird. Everyone believes that Alex is some freak so why shouldn't the FBI be checking up on him? Added to that, Tod was one of the "survivors" from Flight 180, same with Mrs. Lewton and Terry, so obviously it's all connected and Alex is at the center of it all. Also, Clear said so herself that the "FBI don't investigate teen suicides", so this can't really count as a mistake; again, it's all connected.
Correction: The original script for Final Destination (called "Flight 180") was written in 1994 as an episode of the X-Files TV show, but it was never used for the series. The X-Files was entirely focused on the FBI investigating paranormal events.
Maybe, but as this is not the X-files the FBI would leave after the investigation showed it was an accident. Them sticking around makes 0 sense.
For that matter, expecting the FBI to investigate paranormal phenomena in The X-Files made zero factual sense, also. The fact remains that Final Destination adhered to the original X-Files "Flight 180" script, in which the FBI did, in fact, conduct investigations into apparently paranormal events. Both The X-Files and Final Destination concocted highly unlikely circumstances and relied heavily on the audience's suspension of disbelief.
But again. This wasn't an episode of x files. It's still a mistake.

Resident Evil (2002)
Corrected entry: We know Alice and Spence are the hive's first defense. So the first thing the queen does after the infection is to knockout and disable her own defenses? That isn't very smart.
Correction: Yes Spence and Alice are part of the defense network of the hive, however they're more directly linked to the safety and security of the installation from outside threats and possibly internal ones. When the Queen enacted her security measures, those measures, knockout chemical, putting Spence and Alice asleep in simply coincidental. Remember that the hive dealing with a very dangerous virus and like all similar installations, real or fiction, the #1 goal is to contain all threats as quickly as possible. Remember that it is spence who stole the virus and purposely set off the events that caused the queen to take the security measures she did. Now maybe, and we're never informed about such, Spence and Alice have been trained about the gas and would have taken measures to avoid being knocked out if it were not for the situations they were in when it happened. Remember Alice was in a shower and Spence was almost back out of the hive facility proper. He even said in the movie something about he thought he could make it out of the hive and the house before the security measures all came about. The Queen was just protecting the installation and reacting with a response level equal to the threat it faced which meant all security measures that were possible to use were done so.
Correcting the correction this isn't just a coincidence they was knocked out with a nerve agent to keep them from investigating why the red queen activated her defenses resulting in them getting infected and letting out the virus the nerve agent was designed to cause short term memory lose so when they woke up hours later they wouldn't remember why they was there and could hold complete deniability if questioned by authority if a team failed their mission and let the virus out anyways in the 4hr.
I don't think the umbrella corporation worries itself with something like plausible deniability. They have full control over the facility, even send their own team. They don't have to answer to other authority.

Inception (2010)
Corrected entry: Highly unlikely a man would be charged with murder just because someone tells her lawyer that she's scared of him and messed up a hotel room.
Correction: There could have been more evidence that Mal did not tell Cobb about. Even then, there would have been some evidence to put Cobb as the main suspect, and using other evidence not shown on screen, he could have been convicted. We just didn't see it.
All of what was said here applies, plus I will also add in the fact that her dead body would be in the street under the messed up hotel room. Sounds like more than enough to get a conviction.

Saw II (2005)
Corrected entry: Jigsaw says he's never killed anyone in his life, but in the first Saw, when Detectives Sing and Tapp find Jigsaw's lair, Sing chases him and hits a trip wire, causing several shotguns to go off, killing him. Sing didn't know about the trap, therefore had no choice. So Jigsaw killed him.
Correction: Jigsaw, for all intents and purposes, is a psychopath who's simply found a way to 'justify' his actions. Notice how he slashed Tapp's throat in a manner that should have been fatal. In Sing's case, his thought process was probably, "it's his own fault he got killed - he should have been situationally aware."

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa - S6-E10
Corrected entry: Why is everyone talking about the gun piece as if it's evidence, even the police do. 1st they don't know who called in the tip. 2nd the reporter touched it with her bare hands and kept it for over 24 hours before turning it over to the police, and 3rd the chain of evidence is completely messed up. It would never be considered evidence by police.
Correction: It may not be admissible in court, but it can still be used in the investigation in order to determine who is guilty. Subsequently, additional evidence can be gathered.
5th Jun 2017
Saw (2004)
Corrected entry: We learn in later sequels that Jigsaw hates murders, despises them, so why would he set Amanda's trap so that in order for her to survive she has to murder someone, then make her his accomplice/apprentice? From what we know about Jigsaw this makes no sense.
Correction: True, Jigsaw may despises straight out murderers, but he has a twisted god complex that does encourage murder. He could have easily said in his mind that if Amanda failed her test, then the guy winning was not murder. He even encourages his main victims in the sequels to murder, especially in Saw VI, which is a personal game from him to a man who has to choose who lives or dies. Even in Saw III, IV, VI, the victims who win their games are placed in danger again, at the hands of someone else or being designed to play another game.
4th Jun 2017
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend - S6-E4
Corrected entry: Why would Linda kill someone knowing most likely Monk would be investigating it? She knows how good he is and that he solves impossible crimes all the time.
Correction: She even goes the "extra mile" and commits the murder in another county making sure it is outside our Stottlemeyer's and i.e. Monk's jurisdiction.
Yes but knowing Monk she should never had tried to seduce him and she made the captain suspicious by claiming Monk tried to blackmail her for sex.
Correction: Characters doing stupid things isn't what qualifies as a stupidity. Why would anyone kill anyone knowing there's a chance they could get caught? Linda's personal motives for killing outweigh the fear of being caught.
30th Jan 2017
Fast Five (2011)
Corrected entry: Hobbs asks his agent to run facial recognition against known associates of Dom's, and Tej's and Roman's pics pop up. The problem is they are not known associates of Dom's, they both literally just met him.
5th May 2014
Supernatural (2005)
Bloodlines - S9-E20
Corrected entry: The shapeshifters change appearances in the blink of an eye, but throughout the rest of the series shapeshifters shed their skin and the change takes several minutes.
Correction: The shifter in this episode is of a purer bloodline, so he doesn't need to shed. Just like the alpha.
Where does it say that it is pure bloodline or that a pure bloodline shifts differently?

Correction: Robert Kirkman has stated that Rick was in his coma for 4-5 weeks, so around 35 days. In the short series "The Walking Dead: Webisodes" the one titled "The Oath" shows that a doctor named Gale Macones stayed after the outbreak, to care for patients still in the hospital. (Including Rick) IV bags last 24 hours, and you can only go without water for 4-5ish days. Meaning she left very close to when Rick woke up, which explains why his beard was in good shape.
You can go longer than 4 days. And even if she left 4 days earlier he wouldn't be clean-shaven.
