Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Trivia: Starting with the first episode of this season, Lucy Lawless (Xena) was visibly pregnant with her second child. In the first episode, she wore long flowing robes. In the 2nd episode, her dress was very loose and she did very limited fighting. Her pregnancy was obviously written in several episodes after that, but her stunts were considerably fewer and her stunt double did much more than in a normal season.

9th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Gabby is looking for cooking utensils while Xena is sitting there playing with the leaf, Gabby's hair is markably different than in the rest of the episode. It appears as if she's wearing a wig, her hair is redder, and much puffier. Most of the time she has her back to the camera, but when she turns around, it's very obvious that she's wearing a wig. This may have been an insert shot done later, as Renee O'Conner did cut her hair for an episode done just a few weeks later. (00:19:30)
9th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: Xena kicks Milo's sword out of his hand, so he bends down to pick up the knife. When he turns around, his sword is back in his scabbard. (00:37:40)

9th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Joxer is painting the set, in the far shot he's using side to side brush strokes, and it doesn't look like any paint is on the brush. On a quick close up, he's making hash marks, and there's a lot of paint on the brush. (00:17:50)
9th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Revealing mistake: When Xena drags Gabrielle with the whip behind her horse, you can see in some shots it is a dummy - as the arms are in a static position. In other shots, Gabrielle is a man, as shown by how much larger she suddenly gets. (00:02:00)
9th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Revealing mistake: When one of the Horde Warriors kills one of Xena's men, he slits his throat. You see the slit throat and blood before the Warrior makes the cut. (00:00:20)

6th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)

Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Revealing mistake: When Kaleipus is dying, his eyepatch is not on his eye properly, and you can see his real eye under the eyepatch several times, although the character is supposed to only have one eye. (00:18:40)
6th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Audio problem: Xena says to Gabrielle about Solan, "Some tracker, huh?" This sentence is said in her native Kiwi accent, not the 'American' accent of her character. (00:00:50)
6th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
The Quill Is Mightier - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Joxer lays down the scrolls on the table, they are rolled up with each side touching each other. A moment later, when there is a close up of the scroll, they are slightly unrolled, with the quill placed between them. There was no quill there a moment before. (00:23:35)
6th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
The Quill Is Mightier - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Gabby is beating up the barbarians, the end of her staff is in the ground. There are two close up shots of her staff. The first has her staff in a hole, surrounded by dirt. The second shot shows her staff with no hole, and surrounded by straw, not dirt. (00:04:35)
6th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)

5th Jul 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: While Xena is putting back on all her armor after her swim, her hair constantly changes. First it is under her right strap, then over, then behind her shoulder, then back over her strap again. (00:22:45)

2nd Jul 2004
The Lost Boys (1987)

30th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)

30th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Gabrielle is stitching Xena's leg, on the shot of Gabrielle, her hand was down on the leg. The shot cuts to Xena and her hand is up in the air pulling on the string. (00:01:10)
29th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)

Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
In Sickness and In Hell - S4-E4

Happens again several times during this scenes when the shots change, her arms cross and uncross again. (00:02:50)
27th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)

27th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: While fighting, we see Xena from the back, her sword has fallen off her back, and is hanging upside down from her waist. As soon as the shot changes, we see her sword back upright as it should be. (00:04:25)
27th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Revealing mistake: In the beginning battle scene, the long shots of Amarice are a stunt double, her face is shown quite a bit. (00:04:35)

27th Jun 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)

Continuity mistake: A man is sitting to the right of Gabby and hands her an apple, she hands it to Eli on her left. When the shot goes wide, the closest person to Gabby's right is quite far away. (00:12:10)

24th Jun 2004
Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Factual error: After the shooting of Kayla Rolland at Mt. Morris, MI, just north of Flint, Michael Moore says "Just as he did after the Columbine shooting, [NRA President] Charlton Heston showed up in Flint, to have a big pro-gun rally" When in fact Heston's speech was given at a "get out the vote" rally in Flint, which was held when elections rolled by some eight months after the shooting (Feb 29 vs Oct 17) In fact, then-presidential candidate George W. Bush, then Vice-President Al Gore, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, and Moore himself all spoke at the rally.
15th Jun 2004
Grumpier Old Men (1995)
Continuity mistake: Jack Lemmon puts the cat in Walter's truck. We see a close up of the cat's paws scratching holes in the car seat. A long shot shows the cat picking at the seat again, but there are no holes in the seat anymore.

24th May 2004
Troy (2004)
Continuity mistake: Just before Hector fights Achilles, he hugs his wife, and son. The boy is rather big in his wife's arms. A moment later, we see a wider shot of the family looking on, and the wife hands the boy to someone to hold for her. The bundle we see in her hands is very tiny compared to the baby she'd just had in the previous scene. (01:55:35 - 01:57:30)
1st May 2004
Love Actually (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Alan Rickman is trying to purchase the necklace, the extras behind him and Rowan Atkinson change from shot to shot. Most notably, when the shot is on Rowan there is a balding man with a woman, in most shots they face the left of the screen. Every now and then they suddenly switch to facing the right, or disappearing altogether, or there's a different person there. (01:18:15)
18th Apr 2004
The Tuxedo (2002)
Plot hole: When Delila finds out who Jimmy really is, she takes his tuxedo and is apprehended by the bad guys. She then turns on her homing device on her necklace.

From that statement to when the CSA finally arrives, Jimmy has time to go to Devlin's, write him a letter, discover water striders, find his suit, and get back to Delila and fight the bad guys. THEN CSA shows up. The timing is really off.
15th Mar 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Fins, Femmes and Gems - S3-E18
Trivia: Originally this episode was scripted to have Gabby obsessed with Xena. The network made them re-write this just 2 days before shooting started. They felt it was just too racy, so it was re-written to have Gabby obsessed with herself.
15th Mar 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Joxer and Gabby are in the woods and he's trying to explain who he is and give her back her memories, the shots from behind Gabby are much windier than the shots in front of her.

29th Feb 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Xena gets a pot of boiling liquid and drags it across the floor, it's half empty. When Gabrielle empties it over the bad guys, it's now full to the top.
26th Feb 2004
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
Revealing mistake: When Hope and Gabrielle are talking, and Gabby says she's sorry the poison didn't kill Hope, look when the camera is on Hope and behind Gabby. Since Renee O'Conner plays both parts, a double is used from the back. The double is really bad. Her build is way too small and un-muscular to be Gabby.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Factual error: Clown fish are born as hermaphrodites and when a dominant female is found they become male. They only become female when their female mate is dead/gone. Then a hermaphrodite clown fish will become male and be the new female's mate and the process starts all over again. Coral should not have been the same size as Marlin; she should have been bigger, since clown fish that turn female will then grow bigger than their mate if they aren't already. (00:01:00)

Chosen answer: It's never specifically stated, but the general impression is that yes, she knows. In the classic Spider-Man comics, shortly before her (natural) death Aunt May tells Peter that she's known he was Spider-Man for a long time, and that she was very proud of him. We never know exactly when Aunt May makes the connection but it's safe to say that, based on the speech she gave Peter in the movie, she knows now.
