Revealing mistake: When Annie is putting her clothes in the wash the door slams shut and she walks over to try and open it, look closely and you can see her turn the deadbolt and lock it so she can't open it. (00:46:45)

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.
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.

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?

Critters 2 (1988)
Revealing mistake: When the bounty hunters are landing the ship, look closely, you can see the wires holding it up. (00:36:30)

Charmed (1998)
Stupidity: The brothers are angry at Leo because they say he's responsible for them dying because he chose to save other soldiers instead of them, Leo also blames himself for the same reason and says he should have stayed and gotten them out. But in the flashback it shows Leo helping them and then running off to help other soldiers, after he runs off the brothers are killed just a few seconds later. Even if Leo had chosen to stay with the brother he couldn't have gotten them out in time, the only difference would have been Leo would have died with them, but Leo dies in the same war so he didn't live much longer. Leo's guilt and the brothers' blame don't make any sense at all.

Charmed (1998)
Plot hole: Paige is able to use the enchantress' powers, but in "Pardon My Past", Phoebe can't use her past life's fire throwing power and Leo tells her it's because her past life misused it so she lost it. The enchantress misused her powers so Paige should not be able to use them.

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?
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.

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.

Valhalley of the Dolls (1) - S6-E1
Plot hole: Phoebe becomes an empath. But in Primrose Empath (S3:E6) Leo tells the sisters an empath is a mortal who has died and come back as an empath, so it wouldn't be a progression of a witch's powers like it is in this episode. Plus Phoebe isn't dead.
Suggested correction: There is a difference between an Empath and the power of Empathy. A true Empath is a mortal that has died and been reincarnated and they are a separate race of magical beings. But other beings, such as witches, can have the power of empathy. It does get confusing because they refer to a witch with empathy as an empath, but that doesn't mean they are true empaths. In addition, Phoebe developed her empathy powers in her 20's as one of her first powers and her power of empathy is the strongest of any being.
And where is this stated anywhere in the 8 seasons of the show?

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)
Continuity mistake: In the season 2 finale the council has five members and yellow robes, in this episode they're now called the triad and there are 3 members in red robes (changed to black robes with inverted pentagrams in later seasons).

From Fear to Eternity - S1-E13
Plot hole: Prue finds an entry in the book of shadows about the fear demon written by her mother. How would her mother know anything about this demon when no one has seen him in nearly 1300 years, let alone how to defeat him?

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.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Question: Why did the T-1000 kill the officer in the beginning and steal his clothes? Later we see the uniform heal so we know he can create clothing.
Answer: He didn't steal his clothes, but copied them. He can only copy things that he physically touches. He had to touch the cop to take on his look. Also since the cop was a witness to this ruthless killing machine, it needed to kill him to protect itself from being discovered too soon. The Terminator is an infiltration unit on an assassination mission to kill John Connor. As advanced as it is, it needs as little attention drawn to it as possible. Having the entire police force chasing him down would not be ideal for his goal to get Connor and would inevitably slow him down and risk allowing Connor a better chance of escape. The T 1000 also is an emotionless machine programmed by other machines that are intent on killing off all humans in the future. It doesn't value human life, and if anything has been programmed to regard them as a pest to be dealt with. The cop was a means to an ends and an obstacle to take out. As well, the cop did also posses a weapon, and was the T-1000's quickest way to get his hands on a gun.
Answer: While the T-1000 did kill the officer at the beginning (which is pretty much standard behavior for Terminators), it didn't steal the officer's clothes. It merely sampled the officer's appearance as soon as it touched him. However, it did steal the officer's firearm, because the T-1000 could not mimic complex mechanical objects or weapons (it could only mimic stabbing and cutting weapons).

Piranha 3D (2010)
Stupidity: Jake throws Derek overboard to distract the piranha, then swims under the boat and doesn't get attacked, so why couldn't he just go downstairs the normal way and have Kelly swim over to him? They could have escaped a lot more easily.

Charmed (1998)
Factual error: Melinda Warren says that after Matthew turned her in to the council, she was burned at the stake for being a witch, except witches were not burned at the stake, they were hanged.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)
Character mistake: When April and Casey are in the interrogation room April says she wants her phone call. The detective says the phones are down and April reply's with "well hate to break it to you, legally I'm entitled to a phone call." The detective should know that this is not true at all. They can make a call if the detective is OK with it, but it is not a right. (01:04:25)

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Plot hole: After McClane, agent Johnson, and Ferrell leave in the police car, Agent Johnson radios another agent to have DC police clear a path for them. Then on Gabriel's screen it says they have a voice match to Farrell. The problem is Farrell never said a word, so how would they have a voice match to him? Without the voice match they never should have found them.
Suggested correction: The agent says "Ferrell" over the radio which in turn gets picked up as a name match on Gabriel's screen as they were scanning for anyone using that key word. Not Ferrell's actual voice but anyone mentioning his name over the radio.
If it was just looking for anyone saying the word Farrell it would have been a "voice" match. A voice match implies but they got a match to Farrell's voice.
In this context it is a match on the name "Farrell" that was spoken, hence it is a "voice match." It's clunky but still works grammatically.

Wrong Turn 4 (2011)
Continuity mistake: In this film it's stated that Three Finger can't feel any pain, but several times in the previous film when he's stabbed or injured he cries out in pain.
18th Jun 2018
Wrong Turn 4 (2011)
Plot hole: This film takes place in 2003, meaning it takes place right before the original. The cannibals' house in the original looks like its been lived in for years, but this one shows they've been living in the sanitarium.
