Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: In Project AppleCore, once the forklift goes by carrying a load, you see in the distance where Dr.Murphy is standing still looking at a wall. It cuts to a close up and suddenly she is walking from the same spot she was standing. (00:05:30)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: After the workers at Project Applecore discover Doomsday's ship, the scene changes to Lex in his office staring out the window. It cuts to a further shot as Tess walks, and suddenly Lex has moved over some to the left closer to the edge of the window pane. (00:06:30)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Other mistake: After Clark sets down the picture of his mother, Martha, he clicks a button on his keyboard and the monitor for his computer shuts off. Only thing is the button he pressed is the one directly to the left of the Space Bar, which is the Alt button. I don't know of any computer where you press the Alt button, even in a shut down process, to shut the computer down or even just shut off the screen. (00:04:30)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Behind Clark when Perry asks him about his flight, the elevator door is seen behind him with its green design lines all over it. Then after talking to Lois, he gets in the elevator and the door closes, and now the diagonal green lines towards the top have become much thinner. (00:04:00 - 00:04:50)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the Daily Planet, Clark picks up a picture of his mother and smiles at it before setting it back down. Between shots, the picture changes slightly, Martha's image becoming larger compared to her background. Most noticeably the window in the barn is closer to her head as well as the bush by her neck.

Question: Which Robin is it in this movie? It's hard for me to tell. His personality is kinda like a mix of Jason Todd and Tim Drake, but he talks a lot kinda like Dick Grayson and fights with a staff like Dick from Teen Titans. So I can't quite tell which Robin it is.

Quantom X

Answer: Tim Drake.

Goldeneye: Reloaded

Question: In the original Goldeneye game, the first level (The Dam) has a part of the level that was left incomplete but originally intended to be accessible as part of the mission. If you stand on the dam and look out from the towers or the dock on it on the side with all the water with the Sniper Rifle's scope, you can see the unfinished area on the edge of the map left there. So I wonder is there any such similar place in the remake of this game as sort of tribute or something. A similar inaccessible area viewable by scope? Or an area that is accessible? Or anything at all?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: No. There is no such area in the game.

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Lois and Perry are arguing in his office in the beginning, you can see his many plaques on his wall. Moments later when Perry is standing in his office door way talking to Clark, you can see the same wall and corner behind him. Now there are fewer plaques and they have moved around, most noticeably the round orange one now on the other side of the corner. Also the desk with books on it under the round orange plaque vanishes. (00:03:30 - 00:04:05)

Continuity mistake: Perry asks Clark if he should be packing for his flight and you can see the cubicle directly to Clark's right there are some brown papers of some sort on the wall of the cubicle. Then a moment later in a close up of Clark, the brown items have become a wall calendar. (00:04:05)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Clark goes to pick up the blue lunch box next to his mom's picture, it shows his computer tower at his cubicle. On it above the red light, are two rows of 4 rectangles. Then it changes angles and now the first row of rectangles is thinner and more square shaped. Also between shots the extended gray space between the darker space where the rectangles are and the red light becomes thicker. (00:04:20)

Chosen answer: Bruce has always been the character's middle name. In the comics he is Robert Bruce Banner, here he is David Bruce Banner. Apparently the executives behind the show preferred the name David.

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: After Dark Superman knocks Superman into his memorial stone, Dark Superman (the one dressed in blue) comes down and hovers over Superman (dressed in black) and gloats. Behind him is the bulldozer. After Lois shoots Dark Superman with a Kryptonite beam and then Superman tackles him, they slide across some oil next to the same bulldozer, that now looks completely different. (01:10:20)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After cutting through all the clone tubes in the incubation chamber, Dark Superman punches a console that controlled the clones' life support. In the close up of him hitting it, the screen he punches is red, but the screen on the left side of the console is black. It then cuts to a far shot and now the screen on the left is red like the one he punched. (00:59:30)

Continuity mistake: When Aladdin is battling Jafar, he is shown holding a sword. On the first page of this, the part of the hand guard on the sword that is on the sharp side of the sword is curled up and the back side is curled down. But the next page with the sword shows this reversed.

Question: I have seen and heard this movie referred to as both Philosophers Stone, and Sorcerer's Stone. Why and when are both used and what is correct? Why is the wrong one also used?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: Here is the explanation on IMDb'S website: To appeal to the American audience. This was a marketing decision made by author Rowling and Scholastic, the publishing house that released the novel in the United States. The decision to change Philosopher to Sorcerer was made because, in the U.S., a philosopher connotes a scholar of philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, logic, and other related fields. Philosopher does not typically connote an alchemist or magician, and magic is essential to the Harry Potter books. Consequently, the publisher suggested using another word with a more magical connotation, and Rowling suggested Sorcerer. Rowling gives this explanation: "Arthur Levine, my American editor, and I decided that words should be altered only where we felt they would be incomprehensible, even in context, to an American reader. The title change was Arthur's idea initially, because he felt that the British title gave a misleading idea of the subject matter. In England, we discussed several alternative titles and Sorcerer's Stone was my idea." For the movie, the different titles were used in different markets, and each scene where the Stone's name is used had to be filmed twice, once with "Philosopher's Stone" in the dialogue and once with "Sorcerer's Stone."

Continuity mistake: On the page where Aladdin and Abu are in the Cave of Wonders, Magic Carpet is trying to pull Abu away from the large red diamond. Then Magic Carpet is shown again a few pages later and the yellow corners it has change shape and their design.

Continuity mistake: On the first and second pages, the illustrations show images of Gazeem, the guy who helped Jafar get the two halves of the scarab. On the first page, his head band is tied on the right side of his head, but on the next page it is tied on the left.

General questions

In terms of TV series, what exactly is a serial? Like old TV series including the 1943 Batman and the 1949 Batman and Robin TV serials. Both are 15 episodes. So what's the difference between a TV series and serial?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: Episodes of a series are more self-contained, and while they may have an over-arching continuity or arc, each episode is a fairly self-contained linear story (examples "Quantum Leap", "Doctor Who", "Star Trek"). In a serial, several parallel storylines flow from one episode to the next, such as in soap operas ("Days of Our Lives", "Neighbours", "EastEnders"). Also, in the UK/Commonwealth, the term series is often used to refer to US seasons (eg. "series 3 of Friends"), so serial may mean any kind of narrative TV series to distinguish it from a single season/series. Early serials were shown in theatres, sometimes in addition to films, but sometimes as the feature. When TV was introduced, the entertainment industry transferred this type of regular-viewer activity to TV, to keep the regular viewers interested in the new technology.
