Aggretsuko mistake picture

A Day in the Life of Retsuko - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Ton bashes Retsuko for not getting her tea right, she sings some death metal in the bathroom before joining Fenneko back at the computers and they start talking. Between them is a pink cup with some orange scissors, and an assortment of writing utensils. They are fanned out, but show that the red one is closed to Retsuko with the black in the middle and the yellow closer to Fenneko. When the camera changes angles to show them both sitting there, this order of pens is flipped, with the scissors still being in the same spot.

Hellboy (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Major Ben Daimio is saying the line about putting Hellboy back in his cage, he's walking towards an elevator door mid sentence and looking at the door. The camera cuts to a different angle as he finishes this sentence and suddenly his head has turned 180° with him looking at Hellboy instantly between shots. (00:41:55)

Continuity mistake: After Shosanna switches projectors on the visual cue from the film, the movie cuts to Marcel standing behind the screen smoking a cigarette. The camera pulls back from behind him showing a large billow of smoke rising from his face and he lifts his right arm up to his cigarette. But then the camera cuts to an overhead view, and suddenly his arm is down and the smoke is gone.

Factual error: After carving the swastika on the Nazi private's head that they let go, Donny tells Aldo that he's getting good at that. Aldo then proceeds to make the joke about getting to Carnegie Hall and practice. This has been a well known and common joke for years, however the earliest known written instance of this joke is from 1950. Plus the joke originates in New York and Aldo is from Tennessee, saying he's from the Smoky Mountains. So him referencing this joke in such a manner does not match the time frame at all and is way out of place.

Question: When the dynamite goes off in the theatre, destroying it, there is a shot of a woman being blown out of the top window of the building screaming for a brief moment. Who was that woman and how did she get there? It couldn't have been Shosanna as she was very dead from being shot before that moment. And it wasn't the translator for Goebbels either for the same reason. Most everybody else was in the theater room or the balcony's themselves. So who was that woman?

Quantom X

Answer: I'm not entirely sure it's a woman. I slowed the scene down and the person looks like they are wearing a tuxedo. So probably a man with a high-pitched voice/scream. My best guess is that it is one of the attendees who may have excused themselves from the auditorium before all the doors were locked, and once the fire and massacre started, they were running through the corridor unable to escape and were eventually thrown out of the window by the explosion.

Rain Man (1988)

Continuity mistake: After the duo stops at a motel with pink neon, Ray starts reciting his riddle about the guy on first base again, which gets Charlie annoyed and he badgers him over it. After their little exchange, Ray is walking up to the side of the car as Charlie opens the door to their room. Ray is standing very close to the car, standing right on the yellow line of the parking space. The camera then suddenly jump cuts to a higher angle and Ray is now several feet back standing in the middle of the next parking space over.

Breaking Bad (2008)

ABQ - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Sitting outside a crack house looking for Jesse, Mike and Walt are talking in Mike's car. When Mike says he could just be mugged or shot, the camera is behind their heads. Walt turns his head towards Mike while he's saying this. When the camera angle changes, suddenly Walt is looking out of the passenger window again.

Breaking Bad (2008)

Mandala - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After Combo is killed and Skinny leaves the operation, Jesse and Walt are in Saul's office, explain what happened, and they start bickering. From a side angle you see Saul lean forward in his chair as he yells "Guys guys!" to try and stop them. It then cuts to an angle showing Saul from the front and he's suddenly leaning back in his chair, not forward.

Continuity mistake: In her office, Skyler brings up to her boss, Ted, an issue with a "Keller Account" and puts one hand up to her mouth. In this shot her other arm is crossed over with her other hand resting on the one arm held up. When the angle changes suddenly her arm is outstretched more in front of her with her hand on her papers.

SuperFly (2018)

Revealing mistake: When the agent is questioning Fat Freddy after the cop finds him with coke and a gun, she puts a phone up to his face and says "say cheese." She holds the phone up to his face with the screen facing him. You hear the click and beep of the phone taking a picture, but when she turns the phone around, it's still on the locked screen with just the background and a clock. (01:06:45)

Continuity mistake: Outside the strip club, Priest and Georgia are talking about some other girls down the street and how they used to be just like that. Georgia mentions how they bought one bottle and had to get a bunch of club soda to make it last. In one angle Priest is looking up into the air away from her, but it cuts to a different angle and suddenly he's looking down at her face. (00:12:35)

Continuity mistake: When Priest is talking to Q in the strip club, Juju is behind them drinking from a bottle.

Uncle Drew (2018)

Continuity mistake: In the van after they pick up Preacher and he mentions it's cold. Preacher leans up to the front and looks over Dax, asking about his head being too big. There are several cuts between shots here before Preacher slinks back into the van and his position of his head and shoulders changes between almost every one in various positions. (00:33:50)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: After Seligman offers to wash Joe's coat, she tells him not to and it's her coat. He shrugs it off and sets the coat on the bed and turns, walking away. It suddenly jump cuts to him being back at the foot of the bed facing her and asking her what happened.

Another Life (2019)

Through the Valley of Shadows - S1-E2

Audio problem: After they discover the rogue planet that they can mine oxygen from, Niko tells Javier and Bernie to inspect the outside of the ship for damage. When the camera cuts to them, you can hear Javier respond in full with a sentence as the camera is focused on both of them, however their mouths aren't moving at all.

Another Life (2019)

Through the Valley of Shadows - S1-E2

Question: Spoiler alert! At the end of the first episode, Ian attacks Niko with a knife. In self defence, she round house kicks him into an electrical current that kills him. She was reacting out of self defence and he struck first. With that being the case, why in the second episode is she not explaining that to the rest of the crew? She simply says he was a threat to the crew and she killed him... Leaving out completely that it was self defense and he attacked first. Why? It started causing tension immediately with some of the crew ready to turn on her for murder. Why didn't she just tell them he attacked her first and she defended herself?

Quantom X

Answer: First, it should be pointed out that Ian didn't actually attack Niko. He had a knife, made a vague threat about not being as magnanimous as she was to him, and did raise the knife after approaching her, but she kicked him first. But the crew had already mutinied against her. The way I see if, she wanted to make sure the crew thinks she was willing to kill anyone who was a threat to the mission. Whereas if she claimed self defense she would either look weak or a look like a liar.

Bishop73

The crew members that followed Ian might not believe he would try to attack for no reason. She had no marks on her, so if she claimed he attacked her first, she would be lying. Most of the crew that was awake already mistrusted her, so claiming self defense at that moment wouldn't make them start trusting her.

Bishop73

Answer: This is a mistake and should be listed as such.

Voluble

If it can be verified as such, sure. It seems there was a conscious decision by the show makers to do this though.

Quantom X

Even if the writers deliberately turned the captain into an idiot, that doesn't stop it from being a mistake by making an extremely poor decision. There's absolutely no reason to make your crew distrust you when your actions were justified.

Voluble

A great point.

Another Life (2019)

Across the Universe - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: In the restaurant after their daughter finishes talking to Niko, Erik turns the tablet device around and sets it on the table to talk to Niko. From his perspective, he is looking down at the screen. But in the other shots from Niko's perspective, where he is a life sized hologram, his figure is shown looking up and meeting her eyes. But from her perspective it should look like he's looking down at the table.

The Lion King (1994)

Question: Something I've wondered for a long time, and it might have been hinted at or addressed in one of these movies at some point but I've not actually seen them in a few years. After Simba runs away as a cub, and then is found a long time later as an adult by Nala, how much time had passed? How long was he living on his own with Timon and Pumbaa?

Quantom X

Answer: Applying real-world logic... when he leaves, he's likely a bit less than six months old based on his size and development. And when he returns, his development seems to line-up with about a 3-4 year-old lion. So he was probably gone somewhere in the range of 3 years. Maybe 4 if you really stretched it.
