Stolen (2012)

Continuity mistake: When Will is fleeing through a parking complex in the stolen police car, the lead cop is chasing him. The car Will stole has no damage to the front as it almost hits a civilian car with a scared woman in it. Will then begins backing up and a close up shot shows the hood and front bumper to his stolen police car damaged. Then the very next shot it is undamaged and the lead cop runs into him, which causes the damage seen moments before. (00:18:00)

Stolen (2012)

Continuity mistake: When Will and Vincent enter the toy shop in the beginning of the film, Will walks up to a small yellow table and swipes his arm across it to knock off all the toys. But in that shot, it shows a black ball and a small unrecognizable object remain on the table. It cuts to a wide view and Will's arms are still in the same fluid motion. He then picks up the table, which now has nothing on it. (00:07:25)

Stolen (2012)

Continuity mistake: When we first see Will, the camera is panning across the driver side window where he is sitting. He is listening to a Credence song and bobbing his head, but his head is tilted back. It then cuts to a view from the windshield and suddenly his head is leaning down. (00:04:00)

Pusher (2012)

Question: In the nightclub scene, Tony goes into the bathroom with a girl and they begin making out. it's obvious they are about to have sex. The movie cuts to a different moment in a montage for a moment, then back to Tony and the girl. Suddenly he is jumping up from between her legs and screaming and runs out of the bathroom really quick. What was that all about?

Plot hole: Mater tells McQueen he moved and looked like he just saw the Ghostlight. Sheriff gets on to Mater for talking about the Ghostlight and then their whole plan falls into place to trick and scare Mater with the blue lantern. Only there's no way they would have known that Mater would have mentioned the Ghostlight after that. McQueen didn't know about it, supposedly. And he had been scared by Mater and had been there enough that he would have known if Mater had mentioned it before, and Mater would have known he told McQueen. (00:01:55)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: When Mater is hiding behind the Roman Coliseum of Tires, Luigi drives up to it as the fork lift finishes the last tire. In the wide shot, Luigi is looking slightly up and has his front end raised just a little. Then it cuts to a close up and Luigi is suddenly looking right at the forklift and has his front end lowered on the suspension. (00:00:30)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: In the opening credits when the title comes up, there is a picture of Mater beside it with the Ghostlight after him. Mater has his right headlight still intact. But during the film, he loses his remaining right headlight moments before he is scared by the lightning bug, before the Ghostlight ever gets to him. (00:00:10 - 00:04:10)

Quantom X

Revealing mistake: Right after McQueen asks what the Ghostlight is, it cuts back to the other cars. Luigi is right next to the firetruck and some gas pumps. The firetruck's door is very reflective, and the gas pumps are visible in it. But Luigi is right by the pump, and he is not reflected in the firetruck's door. (00:02:10)

Nailbiter (2013)

Continuity mistake: After escaping the cellar, Jennifer and Sally approach a couple from the dark. Jennifer is holding wounded Sally up on her left shoulder and holding the dead cop's pistol in her right hand. It cuts to the guy saying "What the...?" then back to the sisters, and suddenly the pistol is gone from her hand and tucked into the front of her pants. There was not enough time during the shot on the guy for her to have one handedly put the gun down the front of her pants. (01:06:20)

Nailbiter (2013)

Factual error: The girls escape down into a storm cellar to get away from the tornado. As the twister passes, it is indicated by just a lot of loud wind sounds and constant shattering glass. This is not at all what a tornado would sound like. As many tornado survivors have stated, one would sound like a huge freight train rocketing down the tracks at reckless speeds, and accompanied by what sounds like constant explosions as it disintegrates everything in its path. Living in Arkansas, I am quite familiar with that sound. (00:16:05)

Nailbiter (2013)

Plot hole: When the mom spots the tornado behind them down the street, she brings the car to a screeching halt on the side of the road and orders the sisters to get out. They then take off on foot down a long driveway to get to a stranger's house. This is an illogical decision. If wanting to hurry to escape the tornado, why stop at the driveway and take off on foot? They would have reached the house much much quicker by driving down the driveway to the house. (00:14:55)

Nailbiter (2013)

Revealing mistake: A sudden downpour hits the family's car after they leave the gas station. One shot of the front windshield shows the rain pattern going across the window in a frequency wave like fashion, indicating it is artificially produced for an effect. (00:13:55)

Nailbiter mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the group of girls first pulls up to the gas station and talk with Barney, the shadow cast by the sign is much longer than moments later when they leave. (00:11:15 - 00:12:50)

Nailbiter (2013)

Continuity mistake: During the car trip to Kansas City, Alice and the mother are both on the driver side of the car, the mother driving, and Alice in the back seat. When the mother asks Alice how her book is, there are just open fields out the window of the mother. But in the cuts to Alice, there are telephone poles going by that are not seen in the shots of the mother. (00:10:15)

Nailbiter (2013)

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene after the alcoholics meeting, the mother returns home and calls up the stairs asking if the girls are ready. The camera goes down a hallway and towards Sally's room. As it does, it glances over a picture showing the three sisters together. As it does, the camera is reflected in the picture. (00:07:10)

General questions

In all the Superman movies, animated movies, and shows, how is it that his suit never seems to rip or tear or take much damage at all, if any, despite all the beatings he takes?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: The official answer is that Superman's invulnerability extends a few millimeters out from his skin. Which explains both why he chooses to wear tights in the first place and why they don't get obliterated, but does not explain why his cape comes away mostly unscathed as well. Although given his suit is often portrayed as being alien in origin too, that would explain its durability.

Phixius

Question: Back in the old show and first movie, the Joes had a catchphrase battle cry where they all simply yelled out "Yo Joe!" But this was not used at all in this movie, and it was used just once in the first one by Heavy Duty. Why was this signature battle cry omitted from the new movies?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: It is just the decision of the writers to not put "Yo Joe!" in the script. They've not explained their reasoning.

Casual Person

Assassins Tale (2013)

Revealing mistake: Anthony turns on Jason and shoots him. Jason dies on his feet and falls to the floor. Even after some time passes in the scene, there is no blood around his body at all. (01:16:40)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: After Firefly is killed and the Zeus launch is terminated, Storm Shadow hands Jinx the sword that Snake Eyes gave him to kill Zartan with. In the frontal shot, the wind is blowing Storm Shadow's hair out of his face completely, showing he is looking into the wind. But the next shot from a side angle, some of his hair is suddenly down over his forehead. (01:38:40)

G.I. Joe: Retaliation mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Jaye drops some groceries in front of the Chief of Staff to lure him with her curves. As they are talking and she says, "Who says chivalry is dead, right?" she rakes her hair over her ear in one shot, but it doesn't stick and falls back in front of her face. In the next shot, it is suddenly raked over her ear and stuck there, at which point it falls out again when she moves. (00:52:00)
