I used to own this game on the N64.

Far and away one of the most influential games of all time. Little can be said that hasn't already been said about the impact this game has on the medium as a whole and even still to this day with the ever growing speed running and modding community around it.

As for myself, I may have started with the SNES and Super Mario World in 1994, but it wasn't long before I had my N64 with this as the launch title and my first game for it. This was one of those games that was my stomping grounds as a kid spending hundreds of hours just goofing off and doing whatever, chasing stars and bashing ghosts and koopas... or getting jump scared by haunted pianos. (90s kids know...)
I did mange to beat it, but I never did get all 120 stars. Maybe one day I will go back and complete that task.

While it's nowhere near my favorite game on the N64, it's still undeniably great. The N64 is the greatest console ever created and my favorite, and this was a true gem of a launch title.

I watched this series on Disney +

This show was OK but not amazing. Enjoyable enough and had a good mystery for a while. However it sort of fell apart in the last couple of episodes and the ending was a bit lack luster.
I can't really say what the show is about without spoiling it, but it's worth a watch at least. Especially if you want to watch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness... as you will not know why Wanda/Scarlet Witch is acting the way she is or what she and Strange are talking about when they meet up if you don't watch this show first.

And this, unfortunately, was the start of the trend of the MCU getting over bloated with Disney + exclusive content with several TV shows that tied into the movies or were adjacent to it that meant having "homework" when watching the films that came out with them as well. And a lot of them in mixed quality at best.

Mistake Status: I'm really not sure I want to do mistakes in any of the live action MCU TV shows except for Agent Carter, but it's possible I may decide to. I doubt I'll ever get to this one but maybe.

I watched this on Disney +

This show is a very enjoyable watch, and one that for a while was nearly impossible to find. Thankfully it's now on Disney +, both seasons, and in full.

This follows Peggy Carter in the first couple years or so after the end of World War 2 where she is now living in the US and working with the Strategic Scientific Reserve, in the early days of what would eventually become the foundation of SHIELD. As well as her dealing with her emotions in the after math of the supposed death of Captain America from his first movie.

This is classic spy thriller stories with a Marvel twist with fun and engaging characters. And thankfully the sexism of the 40s and 50s was not overblown or done cartoony to hammer a point, but seemed to be done in a realistic historical context. Had this show been made in 2016 or later, that may not have been the case.

There is a cliff hanger at the end of Season 2 that left it open for a season 3, however that never materialized and unless there's a comic or something that picked up where it leaves off, that threat doesn't seem it will ever be resolved. However ignoring that cliff hanger, the two seasons wrap up in a nice little bow as it's own series and definitely worth a watch.
The 2013 one shot Marvel Short about Agent Carter is loosely connected to this and it appears this show makes that short non canon. However the 2013 short does function as a sort of pseudo pilot for the show, but you can honestly skip it and not miss anything.

Mistake Status: I don't plan on doing much with the TV shows of the live action MCU stuff. Some of the movies sure but the shows are a bit much. That said, Agent Carter is the likely major exception to that as I do want to do mistakes for this show. But I don't know when I'll get to it, as it is low priority.

I watched this series on Disney +

This was an interesting little short showing some of Peggy's life right after the end of WW2. It functions as a sort of pilot for the later Agent Carter TV show that seems loosely connected to this short but it's unclear if this is still canon to that show, as there's a completely different guy leading the agency. In fact some of the stuff that happens in the two seasons of the show kinda contradict what happens in this short so I'd honestly say it's no longer canon.

That said, if you treat this as a pseudo pilot for the show, it still works and you just think maybe the director got fired or quit in the time between this short taking place and the following Carter show. However, this short isn't really important to the show or add much to it and can easily be skipped.

Mistake Status: I'll probably do this short at some point, especially if I decide to do the whole show. But very low priority right now.

I watched this series, first time on Netflix, second time on Amazon Prime.

I had heard for years how amazing this show was. How it was one of the best shows ever put on TV, many saying it IS the best one ever. People had been gassing it up for years, but I never had a way of checking it out myself.

Well finally, about a year or two ago, I finally sat down and watched it on Netflix. And well... it absolutely lived up to the hype. I watched it all the way through... TWICE. Once by myself, and then I watched it again with my dad. We also watched the prequel, Better Call Saul.
This show is amazing, with a believable character arch of Walter White's slow decent from a decent man to a villain.

There's not much I can say about the show that hasn't been said by countless others already. Just I'm glad I finally got around to it, and loved it so much I watched it all the way through twice.


Mistake Status: Ha, I highly doubt I'll ever tackle this show for mistakes. There's many other projects I'd rather do. I do love this show, but it doesn't interest me mistake wise. Who knows, may change my mind at some point.

I own this series on DVD.

This is my favorite sitcom of all time. I used to LOVE watching this show when I was a teenager in the mid 00s on the "Big Fat Comedy Block" when it would air with Family Guy and... well I don't remember what the other show was as I never cared for it.

This show is hilarious, and I love the dynamic between Doug, Carrie and Arthur as well as the supporting cast. Every episode is full of laughs and fun writing. I know the "idiot fat husband" trope has been done to death in shows. But this one is fresh for me and I love the show. One of the few sitcoms I ever really got into.
I bought the DVD box set and have been going through it, with a laugh a minute.

Mistake Status: Well I got the DVD box set now, and it's my favorite sitcom. So yeah at some point I'll start going through this one episode by episode.

I watched this movie on YouTube for free. Used to own it on VHS.

I used to really like this movie as a kid. It was one of those I'd pop my VHS copy in to my VCR every now and then when wasn't watching a Disney movie, or watching Last Action Hero for the 500th time and enjoyed it. Though I was too young to really grasp all the jokes and story so much back then.
Yet I hadn't seen this movie in probably 20 years or so. Well a few weeks ago, it was free to watch on YouTube. I decided it was finally time to revisit this childhood memory and see if it held up.

Well boy howdy does it ever. This movie was WAY better than I remembered it being! And it's hilarious. Now that I'm older (35 as of writing this), a lot of the jokes and humor land much better now and I understand the story probably much more than when I was a kid.
And now I remember that how this movie, along with Enemy Mine (1985), Dragonheart (1996), and Frequency (2000), as to why Dennis Quaid became one of my favorite actors.

Anyways, so about the movie... I wonder if this is what spawn movies like Osmosis Jones, as it's about a guy who gets shrunken down in a small ship to a micro level, and is intended to be injected inside a rabbit to study it from the inside. But things go horribly wrong and he is injected into the unsuspecting man at a grocery store with anxiety problems, played by Martin Short. And from there, well it's off to the races. A hilarious sci-fi action comedy with all sorts of twists and turns, and a heart melting moment with an unborn child that will make any grown man cry.

If you've never seen Innerspace, you must give it a watch. Seeing it again, brought back so many memories and this is for sure a top nostalgic movie for me.

Mistake Status: Being one of my favorite childhood movies, i for sure plan to comb though this for mistakes at some point after I order the DVD. Not sure when I'll get to it, but it is one I want to do.

I own this series on DVD

While this show came out a year before I was born, it has still lived on in infamy and as a legend in my time. The "Excuuuuuuse me, princess!" line from this Cartoon Link has stood the test of time in memes, references and quoted in other properties.
Originally tacked onto the Super Mario Show as part of that, this series only has 13 episodes itself. Short lived, though we did get a decent conclusion to Link and Zelda in another show that followed this one (which I can't think of the name of right now) with other characters and them as supporting roles.

The Zelda cartoon, some would say is bad. I say it's a charming time capsule of the era it was made in. Keep in mind that in 1989, when this was made, the only Zelda games that existed was the first two on the NES. In fact A Link to the Past wouldn't even come out for another 2 years. So comparing how the characters are and act in this show to more modern and contemporary Zelda games is unfair. Yes Link talks, yes there's only two Triforce... and yes, considering the strict rules of cartoons to air for kids at the time, Link only ever attacks his enemies by. Um shooting lasers at them with his sword. Hey at least it's mostly lore accurate that in those first games at full health Link in fact... shoots a laser from his sword.

There wasn't a ton to go off back then, and the show creators did the best with what they had, and still made a fun and entertaining show for kids. And gives us one of the most fun interpretations of Link to date. In fact I'm very good at mimicking him and plan to voice this version of the character in some up coming projects on the Hyper Frost Productions channel on YouTube. (i'm the creator and director of Hyper Frost Productions by the way subscribe to us on Youtube!)

Then for mistake purposes, this is a GOLD mine for mistakes. Or should I say Rupee mine? This era of late 80s and early 90s cartoons are so easy to find continuity mistakes, but that's not saying it's bad quality. Just it's great for sites like this and I enjoy combing through each episode for them. As of the time of writing this, already 417 mistakes. And that's just in the first 4 of 13 episodes. I'll be going back over them as well

Now that I'm finally making my return to Movie Mistakes. Com... after a very long hiatus, this is one of my main projects I'll be getting back into. The Zelda cartoon was always my pet project for Moviemistakes. And I wanna see how high I can get that counter. Not because I dislike this show... but because I like it a lot and finding mistakes in shows like this is FUN. And just the start of my journey through several video game based cartoons for mistakes.
with Megaman NT Warrior and the Ruby Spears Megaman show likely to follow this. As I'm a huge Megaman fan.
... that or I tackle Megaman Fully Charged.. because My God is that cartoon bad and I hate it. It's fun to tear apart a movie or show I hate for mistakes also. and boy is Fully Charged a doozy. it's the Teen Titans Go of Megaman.. but worse.

Mistake Status: Going to continue it as my main pet project.

I watched this movie on Netflix.

As a follow up to Ocean's Twelve, this is the one that I think is more deserving of 12's reputation. I never understood the hate that Ocean's Twelve gets and think it's underrated.
Before this watch of Thirteen when I binged all 3 movies... I thought I had seen this one before. When watching it, I didn't remember any bits of it. So I think here in 2025, was actually my first time ever watching Ocean's Thirteen. That or I did see it back in the day and it was dull enough I forgot all about it.

That's how I feel about this one. It's not bad, but it's dull. Here I feel the writing suffers, the actors are tired of these roles and barely trying. And aside from Al Pacino hamming it up, most of the actors seem to be phoning it in more this time around. The gags with the hotel reviewer guy are pretty funny though.
This one I feel is far more predictable and simple than the first two movies. Like they all just did this movie to cash a paycheck. It feels to me like thirteen is what should have the reputation twelve gets.

anyways, not a bad movie. But meh.

And at least now thanks to Ocean's 8, it's at least not the worst in the series though. Man was Ocean's 8 just booooooooring.

I don't understand the hate I hear for this movie.
It seems well enough reviewed yet I hear all the time from some places like Cinema Sins podcast and other reviews how this whole movie "you can tell they just wanted to go on vacation and filmed a movie while there" sort of deal.
claiming the writing is bad and the movie is lazy. I don't see it. I think this movie is just as good as the first one. I never understood why people seem to crap on O12.

Anyways, with this one we have the Ocean's crew going up against a new adversary. A master solo thief hell bent on proving he's the best and that Ocean's heist in the first film was a lucky fluke. Challenging them to a contest while framing them for another theft and trying to get the better of them.

Will Ocean's crew of 12 pull it off and come out on top?
pfft duh, it's an Ocean's heist movie, of course they will win there's no real spoiler there. But watching HOW that happens. That's the fun. The actors in this have just as much chemistry together as the first movie, and more. The jokes are funny, the antics great, especially the Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis bit, and everybody knows how awesome the Laser scene is. You know the one.

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places to see hate for this movie and it really is loved by most people? I usually just hear this one is bad and not as good as the first. I must humbly disagree and say this one is just as good as O11.
An underrated gem. No pun intended.

A really fun and solid heist movie. It's become a classic for a reason. The chemistry between the cast is amazing and things unfold in a very well told way.
Sure there's some things you need to have suspension of disbelief to get into but that's with most movies.
Twists, turns and throughlines in a very well crafted film. Danny Ocean was the role George Clooney was born to play.
A story about how 11 men come together, lead by Mr. Ocean, to knock off three casinos at once and settle a personal score between Ocean and the owner of the casinos who stole his wife.

I watched this movie on Hulu.

As the first animated full feature film set in the Predator franchise, this was a great first step.
This movie mostly follows the story of 3 different protagonist and their story fighting and defeating a Predator in their historical time period on earth, then all 3 of them frozen and kept in cryo sleep till some undisclosed point in the future or modern time to be pit against each other and then fight a sort of king Predator like figure.

The first is a Viking woman back in that time on a revenge mission against the man who made her kill her own father while bringing her son along. She is a fun, macho Viking woman and a real hoot. Brings real life to the movie and is a believable bad ass warrior woman. Almost Vikings Grandma vibes.

The second is in ancient Japan with the story of a ninja going against a samurai and their fight interrupted by a Predator and they team up to take it down, one surviving. And fun fact, the ninja guy is voiced by the same actor who played Hanzo in 2010's Predators movie. He's an awesome character and you can't go wrong with an awesome ninja doing bad ass stuff and fighting and alien.

The third one is where it calls short. Set in WW2, it follows a young guy who is a amateur mechanic and rookie fighter pilot just trying his best.
However he is fairly annoying in the movie and talks to himself constantly, and he practically Har Jar Binks his way through the plot with just dumb luck or contrived BS getting him through.
(Also this part of the movie shows the guys making this have a fundamental misunderstanding of how heat and heat vision works)

The 4th part with them together at the end is pretty fun, and once again Viking Grandma and Ninja guy are stand outs. However the pilot kid is still really annoying but he servers his part in the story.

Over all we well done and enjoyable movie and I look forward to where they go from here.

Mistake Status: May do the whole Predator franchise for mistakes at some point, so will for sure revisit this when I do that. For now just caught a few in my first watch.

I watched this movie on Hulu.

Prey is a very well done movie that has its flaws, some of which rooted unfortunately in modern political hangups.

It is definitely a breath of fresh air after the abysmal outing that was The Predator (2018). But still doesn't quite live up to the original Predator (1987) or Predators (2010), it is at least on part with Predator 2 though still better than that in several ways.

This takes us back in time to the old Native Americans where we follow a small tribe that has sent out a hunting parting, who have a run in with a more primitive Predator and become the hunted.

The lead protagonist, Naru, is a fairly likable girl set out on wanting to prove herself as a hunter.
The issue though is this movie suffers from the same problems as Captain Marvel, but thankfully to a much lesser degree. There is no real character growth for Naru and they show us she is this bad ass capable hunter and healer from the get go. But like in Captain Marvel, it's "men" holding her back. She is shown being a better hunter than her brother right off, telling him what he does wrong in the hunts and all that. And the entire time its all about her trying to prove to the boys that she's just as good as them and that they are just holding her back or not believing in her because she's a woman.
The level of skill she's already shown and demonstrated would have had her have respect already in most cases. Granted this is the old Native American times so them still having that mind set is a bit believable, however it is still leaned in to to much.
The modern girl boss where its not about her journey to become better, grow, and be the hero... its about man is holding her back and they just dont recognize her for already being the bad ass she is and people just don't see it because "woman!".
There is no real arc she goes on and she figures out and learns things so far and sets up traps in such unbelievable ways it would make Arnie blush.

The ending how she defeats the Predator is the most egregious of this, to I already have listed as a mistake for it on this site. It is a most out of left field girl boss moment done in an unbelievable way just so they could give her that moment. When all it would have taken is her to defeat the Predator in a realistic but cool way to have a much more satisfying ending if she had earned it better. Not see that the dart followed the laser pointer (which she should not understand what is in the first place) one time and then use that in the end. Or see the Predator not see the injured guy right away because of medicine she gave him that cooled his body temperature and instantly deduce somehow the Predator only sees heat.
There are many contrived moments like that.

There were great moments in the movie also, and the one point where one of the other hunters, won't spoil who, sacrifices himself in a heroic moment and has his own redemption was very well done. And her reaction and further motivation from this was also great.

But it just goes to show, with a good writer and team, even a flawed movie like this can still be so enjoyable to watch and root for the hero. Even if her journey and victory did not feel earned.

On that note, as a Cherokee myself, it was fun seeing more of older tribes like the Comanche going up against a sci fi threat like the Predator in this movie.
Also the way they labeled the French hunting party scene in the movie was at least handled tastefully and not made them over the top "white man bad!" stereotype. That plot point could have been very badly handled and in your face but it was very well done and seemed to stick to historical context.

So over all, not an amazing movie but a big improvement over the 2018 trash fire.

Mistake Status: I am considering doing the entire Predator franchise at some point, so will of course revisit this if I do. For now just caught a few things on my first watch.

I watched this movie on Sling TV.

Finally knocked this movie off my list of shame. I mostly know most of it and what happens thanks to it being in pop culture so much, but I had never actually seen the film myself. Changed that now, and it was great! I may have been slightly disappointed due to high expectations with it being gassed up so much in the public eye, but still awesome. I didn't realize the age difference between Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves going in and that was a little distracting, especially since Swazye seemed to be playing younger as well. Anyways. Awesome movie, and I noticed a lot of tropes in this film that later movies copied, like the 4 bank robbers in masks and all that. Had good twists and turns, Keanu is still his very Keanu self and acting, but it still works in this movie. When he has the right role, he can shine. And him trying to act like a surfer dude seemed to tap into his earlier role in Bill and Ted.

Seeing Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner together in a period drama buddy cop film is a real treat. I really enjoy this kind of story. Two old retired Texas Rangers pulled out of retirement to hunt down the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. The story of that crime couple flipped on it's head as we follow the two lawmen sent to hunt them down and the journey they took to get there. Two old grizzled Texas rangers.

I saw this movie in theaters with my son.

The live action How to Train your Dragon was really, really damn good!
It was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Any fears I had of it being soulless were dashed within minutes as all the actors really put their hearts into it. The animations on the dragons were well done and integrated into the live action well. Some of the actors didn't exactly match their animated character counterparts but they still all did great jobs.
I thought the guy playing Hiccup was a bit too old and too tall for the part... but still he did great.

getting Gerard Butler to return and play Stoick was perfect and he did just as amazing of a job in the character in the flesh as he did in animation, if not more so. He really sold the acting.

I need to go back and watch the original animated film again to be sure. But I dare say... and this may come off blasphemy... that I liked this live action version better than the original. And I never ever thought I'd live to say that about any of these... well except the 101 Dalmatians live action from the 90s. I still like that way better than the animated 101 original.


so this turned out to be exactly what I thought it was going to be and more, and what I was hoping for.

Dreamworks just kicked Disney's ass so hard when it comes to doing a live action remake of an animated film...that they are going to be feeling this one for decades. Go dreamworks. You nailed it.

Browsing Disney +, stumbled across this.
This is an interesting little peak into the history of early Disney. This was a very experimental little short and you can tell they were testing out new animation techniques and styles. This little film is pretty interesting in it's own and exploring the potential mythological origins of the changing of the seasons.
but most notably is you can see that this was basically the prototype for both Snow White and Bambi, with the characters, setting, and animals all lying the ground work for when they'd take on the full length films.

Mistake Status: Caught one on the first watch. Decided to go back and check it nearly frame by frame and found many more.

I own this movie on DVD.

(spoilers for Death Race 4... but really spoilers don't matter here)
Death Race 4 is, I'll at least say, a good step back up from the horribly bad Death Race 3.
the timeline and movies get a little confusing here as it wasn't till after I watched this I learned there was Death Race 2050 (which was not included in my DVD Box Set) that was made between Death Race 3 and 4, however is not part of this timeline and is actually a sequel to the original Death Race 2000 from 1975. So even though 2050 was made after Death Race 3, this movie Beyond Anarchy, is actually Death Race 4. Also Beyond Anarchy is a stupid terrible name.
Anyways, Death Race 1 and 2 were pretty good, but 3 was a terrible bad film. Death Race 4 doesn't quite live up to the first two movies, but it is at least much better than 3. However still lacks a lot to be desired. The opening of the film is full of characters spewing the clunkiest exposition dumps I've seen in a movie, and we are introduced to our new hero who we don't really have any reason to care about. While Statham and Gosss form the previous 3 films, we were shown their life outside of Death Race, their stories, love life, and history with other characters so we can care about them and it has stakes... this new guy we are told nothing. In fact they make it a sort of half haphazard twist that he's actually working for like the CIA and sent in to kill the new Frankenstein but it's such a throw away moment it doesn't effect the movie what so ever. It's not even worth giving a spoiler warning.
They did try to do something interesting, by having Frankenstein be the "villain" of this film. However that's a very wasted plot point that they could have had much potential with. Had they brought back Statham or Goss to be this evil Frankenstine, that would have been a great twist. Instead. We never ever know who this Frank actually is. Who is he? what's his story? how did he get the mask to become the new Frank? Why is he in charge of this prison city now? why is his mask different and looks more like a Predator mask now? we're never told anything about him. And when he's killed off at the end with the main character taking his place. It's an empty moment, with no pay off.
we have a hero we don't care about, defeating an enemy we don't know or care about, and they swap places to end a movie in a spot we don't care about.
And the way they had the same hair, the fact that the hero (I think his name is Gibson), would take Frank's place at the end was telegraphed so hard.
And again the other races introduced in this movie are barely there to serve anything more than to have people die or wreck in the race itself, and we get even less character development than in 3... and 3 barely had any!

still though, that said, this movie is more enjoyable to watch than Death Race 3 and I give this one a 5 out of 10... actually the more I talk about it I'm dropping that down to a 4.5. so don't bother watching Death Race 3 or 4. 1 and 2 are good. And I still need to see Death Race 2000 and 2050.

Mistake Status: I plan to do the Death Race franchise for mistakes at some point. Including all 6 films and even Death Racers from The Asylum as a bonus.

Death Race 1 was pretty good, Death Race 2 was a prequel that was a downgrade, but still a decent watch. Not bad but not great.
Death Race 3 on the other hand, is really bad. A significant downgrade to the other two films, this one servers as a sort of narrative bridge of the gap between Death Race 2 (a prequel) to Death Race 1. But largely feels like a completely unnecessary movie with a nonsense plot and just an excuse to bring Luke Goss back one more time as Frankenstein. And the whole plot point of his face being messed up from the wreck at the end of the first movie is almost completely undercut from the start as he's going through surgeries to get his face mostly back the way it was.
but where this movie really suffers is the writing. The characters are terribly written, the plot is near nonsense, and this movie does nothing to really add to this universe or change in any significant way. The twist at the end is stupid, the character payoffs and faked death of several of them doesn't work, and in large part the other characters introduced are just brought on so we can see them die. And mostly in uninspired ways. This movie is the quintessential image that people would think of when bringing up movies like this or Resident Evil franchise... (largely written by the same guy), that it's mindless, dumb action with bad writing and bad characters that you just turn your brain off and go "duuuuur" while vedging out to.
I give Death Race 3, barely a 3.5 out of 10 rating. And so far is the worst of the series. (I have yet to see the original film or it's distant sequel Death Race 2050 but hopefully will soon.)
at least the 4th movie in this timeline picks up a little bit... but not by a lot. If you're gonna watch Death Race, just watch the first one and the second one. Skip 3, and you can probably do without 4 as well.

While not as good as the first movie, Death Race 2 is still a decent flick as a prequel to the 2008 movie. Setting up characters and events for that first one, and the origins of the original Frankenstein. It is a somewhat lesser film than that first one, but Luke Goss is still a likeable lead and carries the movie well. However this movie, while as a prequel, suffers more from sequelitis a lot with repeating many of the same beats and plot of the first film and has even mostly the same cars and a few of the same characters. Though notable some cars driven by different characters, but look nearly the same.
this movie isn't bad... but it's not really good either. Where I gave the first one a 7 out of 10, this one is a 6 out of 10. Again, not bad, and still a fun watch. Just it does lack a bit. However... it only gets worse from here.
