The Incredibles (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible saves the man that jumped from the building, their position changes between shots when they breaks the window. From behind, the man is bent over Mr. Incredible's shoulders but in the next shot, he's on his chest. The second shot happens at the same time, so it's impossible for them to be in two different positions. (00:06:10)

Hudson Hawk (1991)

Revealing mistake: At Da Vinci's castle, hit Pause when Eddie steals the crystal. It is actually a little frog statue. The prop was apparently unavailable during the shooting of this scene and they took an object of the same color.

Revealing mistake: When the robots breaks the walls of the room where Dex is, there is a lot of debris that fall on the floor. A big piece of debris in the middle of the screen passes through another.

Dr Wilson

Continuity mistake: When the robots are going to capture Dex, the amount of debris and papers around him changes in each shot.

Dr Wilson

Continuity mistake: When Polly stands up while Joe is attacking the robots, she is on the corner of a sidewalk. A few shots later, when Joe flies over her and she says "Joe", she is at a different place on the sidewalk. She was walking really slowly, so it's impossible that she moved that fast.

The Reckoning (2003)

Visible crew/equipment: When they unearth the cadaver, you can see in some shots that he wears a blue string. One of the men even sees it and tries to hide it subtly.

Futurama (1999)

Mars University - S2-E2

Question: When they pass in front of the library, there are only two books "Fiction" and "Non-fiction". I remember seeing something similar in a science-fiction film when I was a kid. A man says something like "All the knowledge of the Martians is contained in this disc". Is it a reference to this film, and if so, what is its name?

Dr Wilson

Chosen answer: I don't know that it is a reference, but it sounds like you are thinking of The Martian Chronicles.

Grumpy Scot

Continuity mistake: When Frank Jr. and Sr. are going to the Chase Manhattan Bank, the same white truck drives behind them twice.

Trivia: At first, the film was supposed to be filmed in France but there were no studios big enough so they had to transfer the production to London.

Factual error: When Eddie and Tommy are trying to enter in the security camera room at the beginning of the film, they use real tools but they couldn't unlock a door by using them this way.
