Plot hole: Lucifer and Amenadiel realise baby Charlie calms down and gets put to sleep when he sees Lucifer's devil face. Dan just left Amenadiel's house, and he gets a phone call with Lucifer's voice telling him to come back to the house. He turns around and sees through the window Lucifer's devil face. It is revealed that Lucifer's evil twin brother called Dan to expose Lucifer. Makes no sense how Michael knew that Charlie responds to Lucifer in that way. He would've been seen peeking through a window. (00:49:35 - 00:52:00)

Lucifer (2015)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: You essentially explained the plot. Michael had been watching them the whole time. In fact, when Michael calls Dan, Dan first responds with "hey, man, what's up?" because he saw that it was Lucifer calling him. One way for Michael to have Lucifer's phone is because he saw Lucifer throw it out the window earlier.

Roseanne (1988)
Scenes from a Barbecue - S3-E24
Continuity mistake: Becky went from having long hair throughout this season to having very short hair in the last episode (ep. 23), then back to long hair in this episode (ep. 24).

Suggested correction: I'm not sure what the ruling on these types of mistakes is, but "Dances with Darlene" (ep23 and production code 425) was aired out of order. It was the last episode filmed in the season and meant to be a season finale, but aired prior to "Scenes from a Barbecue" (production code 423). One reason seems to be this is a Mother's Day episode and aired on the Tuesday before Mother's Day, and the next episode was Jay Sanders' last appearance.

The Score (2001)
Corrected entry: The older janitor's name is Danny. However, we see the name Eric Ledoux on his uniform. (01:25:55)
Correction: That's not his name, and it doesn't say "Eric Ledoux." It looks like Ledoux Ent, which is the janitorial service company name. You see another employee with the same sewn-on badge. Danny has a pin-on name tag that has his first initial and last name.

Lucifer (2015)
The Would-Be Prince of Darkness - S1-E3
Plot hole: Lucifer is not wearing a wire, since the 'fixer' could get suspicious. In the next scene, Dan, who is the person that Lucifer should introduce, is in constant contact with Chloe for no urgent reason. Why would the fixer not check him for a wire too?

Seinfeld (1990)
Corrected entry: Elaine gives the stationary store salesman her telephone number as KL5-2390. The Seinfeld show was set during the 1990s, and the USA stopped using alphanumeric telephone numbers in the 1950s and 1960s. (00:01:33)

The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Plot hole: Mike already knows that Joe is back in town from Vegas because he spoke to him at his office after initially saying he was going to leave a message. He didn't inform Joe's wife because she asks him when he comes home. And Mike was at Joe's house when they talked because he has on the same robe when he steps out the closet from hiding. Why wouldn't he have already left if he knew Joe was back in town?

Suggested correction: Mike didn't think Joe was going to come home, especially if Joe was back in town but at his office. Plus, Joe told Mike he'd meet him at Mike's office in an hour. So, Mike took a shower to get ready. Making a bad decision, when you're in the middle of the poor decision to sleep with your friend's wife, isn't a plot hole.

Evan Almighty (2007)
Corrected entry: After Evan meets God for the first time as the cop, pedestrian, etc., he arrives at his office. As he walks in, Wanda shows up and calls him Steve, his real name, not the character that he's playing.
Correction: She says "Mornin', Chief," as in boss. Not "Steve."

A Christmas Story (1983)
Corrected entry: At the Christmas parade, a band is heard playing the song "Santa Claus is Coming To Town". That song didn't debut until the early 1970s.
Correction: The song "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" came out in 1934. It's the stop motion film that didn't come out until 1970.

Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
Other mistake: Regarding the power outage during the ice storm, correct that the gas stove would have been fine, except they may have had an electric percolator. But unlikely the phone would have worked, no power for the ringer.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It depends. Most landline phones work during a power outage, with the exception of cordless phones because they don't require power from the home (which is why you don't plug them into an outlet). The small amount of electricity is provided by the phone company. So unless the phone company providing power lost power, the landline would still work. I didn't see anything that indicated that happened.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
Corrected entry: I find it highly unlikely that the bandit and snowman could have driven from GA to TX without once ever stopping to take a nap or rest from driving so long. Regardless of the law enforcement that's pursuing them, only stopping once for gas, cheeseburgers, sex in the woods, and no rest, almost impossible.
Correction: First, this is your opinion, and in no way a factual error. They only had 28 hours to complete the task, not a very long time to need a nap. And since we don't see everything they did there and back, you're just guessing how many times they stopped based solely on what you saw.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: When the two soldiers get into a brawl in Post-Op, it's daytime. When Potter talks to Mulcahy, it's night. Then Klinger tells Mulcahy he's needed to break up the fight, it's daytime again.

Suggested correction: In scene 1, set in the day, the Greek soldier is wearing a dark blue jacket and a light blue shirt. In scene 2, set at night, Father Mulcahy is wearing a black shirt and a brown robe, and resting before bed. In scene 3, set during the day, Father Mulcahy is wearing a black shirt, a sweatshirt, and a baseball cap. He is punching a speed bag. Klinger says there has been another fight between the Greek and the Turk. The Greek is not wearing a jacket. Scene 3 is from a different day than Scene 1.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Character mistake: Loren mistakenly calls each pitch at the batter's mound a strike, when that is when a pitch is out of batting mounds, or the batter misses. A ball is when the batter ignores the pitch or doesn't make a swing.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: A player doesn't have to swing for a pitch to be a strike. He called them correctly.
Well unless I've missed something over the years in baseball... and Loren's obvious confusion on what to call... when a batter remains stationary during a pitch, that is a standard all-out ball. When the batter moves or swings and misses the pitch, it is a strike.
His initial hesitation had nothing to do with it being a bad call. And yes, you've missed a lot over the years. A batter can move or even check swing and still the pitch could be called a ball. When a batter remains stationary, that doesn't change a strike into a ball just because he didn't swing or attempt to swing. The poem "Casey at the Bat" is all about him not swinging on the first two pitches, and they were both called strikes.

The Terminator (1984)
Revealing mistake: In the scene were Kyle and Sarah are speeding away from Arnold in the truck, Arnold starts shooting the truck with Kyle driving. When Sarah and Kyle decide to switch (passenger, driver), the camera shows them switching but there is a stuntman in place of Kyle. If not he has gained some weight in the cheeks and grown a big mustache during the course of 2 seconds. (01:24:30)

Suggested correction: This scene don't have cuts. In this moment, a shadow covers the face of Reese, causing confusion, but still be Michael.
No, it isn't. It is too obvious that he is a stunt double.
This is a continuous shot. Where and how would they have made the switch?
After Biehn says "trade places", there's a cut. The mistake seems to be saying from that moment it's Biehn's double. And before the two switch seats, there's another cut of the Terminator shooting at them. But I don't think it's a stunt double because typically scenes filmed from the perspective of the hood are done with the camera rigged to the vehicle and the vehicle is being towed, so the actors aren't actually driving, so there would be no need for a stuntman to do the seat switching.

Mister Roberts (1955)
Corrected entry: About half an hour into the movie, Pulver is on his knees going through Mr. Roberts's locker, looking for a shoebox. Dolan comes in with Mr. Roberts's letter and refers to him signing it with his John Henry, rather than John Hancock.
Correction: There's nothing wrong with what he says. A John Henry means the same thing. They're both a reference to a signature.

The Hot Chick (2002)
Corrected entry: In the last scene, right after the switch, Rob Schneider stops the car with the gay bartender in it. When the gay guy turns around and smiles, Rob Schneider (as himself) recognizes the guy and screams. How could he have known the guy if he wasn't in the club, Jessica (as Rob) was.
Correction: You're an older man dressed in a pink bra and skirt and heels, you jump into the back of a car and a man turns around and grins at you in a predatory manner. Wouldn't you scream too?
It should also be pointed out that Clive doesn't scream until AFTER the guy locks the doors and starts to speed away.

The Hot Chick (2002)
Corrected entry: In the first scene where the princess is swapping bodies with the slave girl, it makes no sense that the slave girl wears the wedding dress. As once their souls switch, they would be in different bodies anyway. The princess should have worn the dress and then worn the earring to transform herself into the slave girl's body.
Correction: You misunderstood how the switch occurred. They physically switched bodies, not minds or souls. So, the body of the slave, who we see on the right, is now on the left side, but with the mind of the princess. This is why when Jessica and Clive switch, Clive is physically in Jessica's bed and wearing her clothes, with Jessica's mind and soul, rather than Jessica waking up in Clive's apartment in his body and his clothes.

Bad Boys (1995)
Other mistake: In the film, Lawrence and Smith's characters are Narcotics detectives with Miami Dade Police. There's no way they should be at any homicide investigations. Narc and homicide are totally two different units within law enforcement, so it's unlikely narcotics units would be at a homicide scene. Being the scene where they're investigating Smith's friend getting killed, and then they stumble across the dead body at the mansion.

Suggested correction: The captain called Mike and Marcus to the scene to help because it appeared related to the missing drugs. They were there to find leads to the missing heroin.
Yes, that could be correct, but the chances of that happening are slim to none. A captain from Narcotics wouldn't even have authorization to call his detectives to a murder scene to help out homicide detectives working a murder. Any information or clues would be collected and shared with other units or agencies if deemed appropriate.

Office Space (1999)
Factual error: When Peter is fishing, the fish being caught is a largemouth bass. When he holds the fish up in the office, it is a striped bass.

Suggested correction: You can see in his cooler a second fish, so it's not just the fish we see him catch.

King of the Hill (1997)
Corrected entry: Peggy seems surprised about Cotton losing his shins in WW2. Yet, in Season 1 episode 8, "Shins of the Father," she's standing there listening to him talk about losing his shins.
Correction: There's nothing I saw that indicated she was surprised Cotton lost his shins, or that she didn't know that. She's upset because she thinks all the stories Cotton told her were lies, and when Hank says "that fraud used to be 6'4"", her response was "so", as in what's your point. And the point of Hank's story wasn't Cotton lost his shins, but that he was walking again after 18 months. If anything, that's what Peggy was surprised at, or that Hank thinks his dad was heroic.

Stargate SG-1 (1997)
Trivia: Besides Don S. Davis and Christopher Judge starring with Richard Dean Anderson on MacGyver, in some episodes, the actor Steven Williams who played General Vidrine also starred with Richard Dean Anderson in S1-EP12 Countdown.

Suggested correction: I think this entry needs to be edited to simply state that many of the actors on "Stargate SG-1" also appeared on "MacGyver". Besides the three mentioned, there have been over a dozen other actors who were on both shows, including Robin Mosley and Garry Chalk.
