Question: As Deckard is giving Rachel the VK test, her eyes have the golden glow to them when he asks the second question about the boy with the butterfly jars. Why does he not catch right then that she's a replicant just by seeing her eyes glow?

Chosen answer: Deckard already knew that Rachel was a replicant before starting the VK test (Tyrell told him); Rachel was a new model of replicant who could supposedly beat the VK test. Deckard just wanted to see if this was true.

Question: When Bryant and Deckard are watching the tape of Leon's VK test, the screen displays the letters V.K. But below that it shows 96/W/9-3H. What does that mean?
Chosen answer: The tape was possibly numbered so the police know which tape is which. 96/W/9-3H is probably the number of Leon's VK test.

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Revealing mistake: As the Batmobiles are supposedly drag racing at very high speeds down a road, some shots show a camera crew reflected in the fender of the 66 Batmobile, keeping up with the two super speeding cars, that are depicted to be drag racing at top speeds... In a pick up truck. (00:08:10)

A Bout with a Trout (1947)
Continuity mistake: A full school day passes from when Lulu is first at school to get her fishing pole and to when she returns after awakening from being knocked out. It even looks darker from time passing. But the shadow of the tree is exactly the same, when the moving of the sun would have changed that. (00:01:55 - 00:07:10)

A Bout with a Trout (1947)
Continuity mistake: When Lulu lands on the book, before the drawing of a donkey attacks her, there is a wooden sign hanging that says school. The edges are quite jagged. After a bit of singing from the school house, another shot of the same sign shows it much less jagged. The style of the letters also change as well, and the metal part of the sign holding the sign to the post. (00:04:05 - 00:05:45)

A Bout with a Trout (1947)
Continuity mistake: Lulu gets out of bed and races to the bathroom to "Brush her teeth." She picks up a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush, then proceeds to brush her reflection's teeth in the mirror. She does not set down the toothpaste, and when the angle changes as she washes her face, the toothpaste has vanished, not in her hand, not on the sink. (00:01:20)

A Bout with a Trout (1947)
Continuity mistake: As the episode starts, Lulu is snoring in bed. The purple head board of her bed is in the light in such a way that it is diagonally lit up from the top left to bottom right. When the angle changes as she gets up, the lighting has flipped so the bottom part is lit rather than the top. There is also a window that suddenly appears in the wall by her bed that was not there in the previous shot. (00:01:05)

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted) - S1-E4
Factual error: Nathan throws C4 at Lara and shoots it in mid air to make it explode. A simple bullet would not cause C4 to explode. (00:04:55)

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted) - S1-E4
Factual error: Nathan Drake is not afraid of snakes, but in this episode it shows him being deathly afraid of one. (00:05:45)

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted) - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: After her victory, Lara checks her surroundings, and then puts on her red glasses. The rope of hair in front of her face is behind her left lens. She then turns her head and suddenly that same rope of hair is out and in front of the center of her glasses. (00:07:15)

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted) - S1-E4
Audio problem: When Lara first discovers the tracer on the skull, it can be heard beeping. Nathan holds a gun to her head and orders her to hand it over, beeping still heard. The beeping then just stops for no reason. (00:06:20)

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) vs. Nathan Drake (Uncharted) - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Nathan sees the snake, he gets scared and quickly stumbles back and falls on his butt. He begins scooting back a decent distance from the snake. But angles from by the snake show him still close to it. The rock behind him is also there or not depending on the angle. (00:05:50)

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Continuity mistake: After Batman first attacks Wolverine and steps on his cigar, Wolverine shows his right fist to the camera and extends his claws, cutting through his glove from all three blades. But then after Wolverine kills Batman, he shows the same hand to the camera and extends just his middle blade to flip off Batman's corpse. But the glove is not cut where the other two blades previously came out. (00:03:10 - 00:04:25)

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Continuity mistake: Batman tricks Wolverine into stabbing an electrical box, zapping him back into a wall. He is still out cold when he is shown again, and Wolverine's body is in a different position against the wall, and the hole he made changes. (00:03:55)

Darth Vader vs. Gandalf - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After Gandalf turns himself into the image of Anakin, he uses a Force push against Vader. In the first shot, his arm is fully extended with hand open out. But it then cuts to a different angle and instantly his hand is half closed and arm already bent to come back. (00:06:25)

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Darth Vader vs. Gandalf - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: As Gandalf and the Hobbit, who I assume is supposed to be Frodo, are first seen walking up a hill, Frodo is lagging behind some. It cuts to a reverse angle and suddenly Frodo is right up behind Gandalf. (00:04:10)

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Darth Vader vs. Gandalf - S1-E2
Factual error: When Gandalf is first shown, it says that Lord of the Rings is the third bestselling novel of all time. At the time of filming (and still in 2013) The Lord of the Rings was the second bestselling novel of all time. (00:01:40)

Super Power Beat Down (2012)
Continuity mistake: During the entire drag race, the '89 Batmobile is in the right lane, and the '66 is in the left lane. This formation is the same when they cross the finish line. But later when they are looking at the "Slo Mo" of the crossing of the finish line, the '66 is now in the right lane and the '89 in the left. (00:08:35)
Answer: The glowing eyes phenomenon was actually an effect added by Scott, who probably thought it would look cool. Obviously he didn't think it through because it would make detecting replicants very easy indeed, and would make the VK test redundant. I believe he has said in interviews that it is intended as a cinematic effect, and is not intended to be a characteristic of the actual characters. This is one of several mistakes that the director made in the film, and which have subsequently passed into the folklore of Blade Runner.
