Other mistake: When Jessica first goes to her mother's house after her murder, her friend asks why she didn't tell her about the baby. Jessica says she was going to tell everyone but didn't expect to be back so soon. She just told her mom on the phone she was going to visit the following weekend so yes she did.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
19th Mar 2021
CSI: Miami (2002)
Other mistake: The hotel manager is charged with negligent homicide because he was using propane without the additive, but the victim was knocked unconscious. The additive wouldn't have made a difference.

Urban Legend (1998)
Other mistake: Why would Natalie get probation? She wasn't driving. It wasn't even her idea.

Suggested correction: Lawyer here - Not a mistake at all. She would be liable as an accessory, under aiding and abetting. The exact crime varies between common law jurisdictions, but she is laughing along when Michelle is speeding and terrorizing the other driver. In common law jurisdictions, that would be viewed as encouragement of Michelle's committing a crime (she explicitly says she didn't tell Michelle to stop), which is a form of abetting, and indeed carries criminal charges.

Charmed (1998)
Other mistake: This entire episode the ghost brothers whine that Leo is responsible for them dying and he left them to die, even Leo believes this. It makes no sense. As we see in the flashback even if Leo stayed to help they were blown up moments later and still would have died.

Shazam! (2019)
Other mistake: Towards the end of the film when they're at the fair, Mary refers to the Sins as "sins", but there is no way she would know that they are sins.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: If you think about it, Billy shouldn't have known either. However he does posses knowledge of these after he transforms and receives the powers. It is evident that when the other children held the staff and said Shazam to get the powers as well, that it also came with some, at least limited, knowledge of these things.
Agreed, except the scene I'm referring to takes place before the rest of the family get powers.
She called them "sins" before she held the staff.
He does get told they are sins.
Mary may not have known but Billy would, because old Shazam talked to Billy about how a previous champion released the sins into his world.

CSI: Miami (2002)
Death Grip - S2-E4
Other mistake: While irrigating the alligator's stomach a human foot falls out, there is no way a foot that size could fit through that PVC pipe.

Smallville (2001)
Other mistake: Maddie and her father can control only glass, but when at the Talon he uses his powers to pull the diamonds out of the stained glass. Diamonds aren't glass.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This may not necessarily be true by the way their powers work. Remember, diamonds are a form of rock that are clear. Glass is made from melted sand, which is a ground up type of rock that becomes clear. The similarities between diamonds and glass are enough that it is possible they could still do this.
Diamonds are compressed carbon, not a form of rock. Glass is melted silicon. They're both clear materials, that doesn't mean they're equivalent, otherwise they'd be able to control clear plastic or any number of other things too.
If more explanations of their powers were discussed in the show, one might be able to conclude they do or do not have power over diamonds. However, the script only states they have power over glass, they show no propensity for power over sand itself, or other rocks and minerals. As scripted, this remains as error as it go against what is established.

Charmed (1998)
Womb Raider - S4-E21
Other mistake: Piper tells Page that her doctor told her she probably wouldn't be able to conceive because of scar tissue from blunt force trauma. But Leo has healed Piper, if there was scar tissue after Leo heals, then all 3 girls should be covered in scars.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: They are thrown around quite a bit before even finding out Leo is a whitelighter. Also, he doesn't heal them every time they get thrown or hit in the abdomen. In fact, we usually don't see him heal them at all if they're just thrown across the room or punched in the gut, unless there's a visible wound.
29th Oct 2018
Critters 2 (1988)
Other mistake: When Cindy's dad steps off the freshly hatched critter he lifts his foot to find a bunch of gooey green slime. Where's the fur, eyes, teeth and internal organs?

Charmed (1998)
Size Matters - S4-E5
Other mistake: Since when are managers, on a trial basis no less, allowed to renovate and change the name of a club?
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Piper says in the episode that she allowed him creative control because the club wasn't doing well, and he was well-known to be good at what he does. It's made clear throughout the episode, by way of him telling her multiple times that if she doesn't like it that he'll get rid of it, that she still has full veto power on any changes.
2nd Oct 2018
Charmed (1998)
Other mistake: Yenlo explains that he escaped limbo through the water in the clouds. And the yen master says there is no other water around. So why do the girls come in through a cave? If they have to leave through the water in the clouds they should enter through the clouds.

Charmed (1998)
Other mistake: Grams says that if she died the girls would automatically get their powers; but they got their powers 6 months later and Phoebe had to read from the book of shadows first. Not really automatically.

Charmed (1998)
From Fear to Eternity - S1-E13
Other mistake: No one, including the cops, seem to think that all the victims' hair turned white is strange, as if getting scared to death actually turned your hair white.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Other mistake: At the end of the movie Lorraine has to remind Elise that she helped her once, implying they haven't seen, or spoken since. When Elise first meets Josh in the 1st insidious she tells Josh that her and Lorraine have been friends for a long time, implying they talk or see each other regularly.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: That's debatable as the word "friend" does have to do with semantics. I have friends I have not spoken to in a long time, or speak with rarely, but still consider them friends due to our history. Others would say that's not a friend as that's not what they think of when they hear the word "friend." So it does depend on the individual person. It's also quite possible this is what they told Josh as the cover story for why she was contacted since they initially didn't want him to remember his past.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Other mistake: Buffy freaks out when she's first taken to the hospital. Joyce tells the gang it was because her cousin died when they were young, but in season one episode "Angel" Buffy has no problem being in the hospital, same with later seasons.
Other mistake: Jason seems to be able to teleport in this film. Most notably towards the end when Mr. McCulloch is running from him down an ally, Jason is behind him, then in a matter of seconds he's on the top floor of a building, without ever entering it, in time to throw McCulloch out the window.

Charmed (1998)
Pre-Witched - S3-E17
Other mistake: During a flash back of Grams in the kitchen she puts a rose in a pot, then Piper walks in, they talk and Piper starts to add some salt and a couple other ingredients into the pot. Grams asks how she knows what to add, Piper says says something about mustard - Piper wouldn't know what's in it already, she just walked in. And she never even finds it strange that there's a rose with a stem in it.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 (1988)
Other mistake: The 3rd movie takes place 5 years after the original, since Kristen is still in high school this one can't take place too long after that. How does Nancy's house get so run down in only 5 or 6 years?
28th Apr 2017
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
Other mistake: Why hasn't there been a mention of Freddy having a child in previous films? Couldn't be because they covered it up, as soon as Freddy was discovered to be the Springwood slasher the media would have been all over him and his family.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Throughout the entire series, it's shown that there's sort a miniature conspiracy going on where the people of Springwood have been trying to make everyone forget about Kruger, including actively suppressing evidence. It's possible that when he was initially caught, the media was aware of his daughter, but not only would it not have been that big a deal (they were focused on him- not his family) in the decades that have passed since his original "death", the information was likely covered up or ignored in favor of trying to make everyone forget about it. (Hence, even Maggie doesn't know Freddy is her father.) Furthermore, the fact he has a daughter has basically no impact whatsoever on the story thus far, so it makes sense it hasn't been brought up before.
It has never been shown in any nightmare film that there is a cover up conspiracy until Freddy vs Jason (which takes place 5 years after this film), and that cover up begins after the events in this film, evidenced by many characters saying it's been quiet for 5 years.
30th Mar 2017
Charmed (1998)
Other mistake: After Sam uses the powder on the sisters, erasing their memories, they're visited by Leo who starts to say "he must have gotten the powder" and one of the sisters finishes with "our mother." But in a later episode we learn all white lighters have this powder.
