Lethal Weapon (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Riggs is hanging from the tree, his hands are tied behind his back. When he falls and lands on his back, his hands are still behind his back. In the next shot of him, his hands are now tied in front of his body, even though he didn't have time to do anything to get his hands there.

Lethal Weapon (2016)
Trivia: When Leo Getz gets the "check" from Trish, he says "is this a joke?" He goes on to say lines very similar to Joe Pesci's lines in "Goodfellas." Joe Pesci played Leo Getz in the Lethal Weapon films.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Question: When Riker and his father are doing anbo-jyutsu, what do the Japanese characters on the armor and around the ring say or mean? I read what the spoken Japanese lines meant (or at least why they attempted to say, I understand their pronunciation was bad), but couldn't find the writing.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Question: Were people able to "lock" the Holodeck doors so that others couldn't just walk in on them? I don't recall an episode where the doors were locked that wasn't because of some malfunction. It seems like Lieutenant Barclay, for example, would either lock the doors during his "fantasies" or have some "fail-safe" that shuts the program off when being walked in on. Otherwise, it's just a really dumb thing to do (for him or anyone playing out a fantasy) knowing they could easily be caught.
Answer: Yes. The doors to the holodecks can be locked when in use by anyone aboard the Enterprise so they couldn't be disturbed. However, high ranking officers like Captain Picard could override the doors as it's seen that overrides are in use even for the crews quarters. Even Barclay, when he's indulging in one of his fantasies could have the doors to the holodeck unlocked by an override code.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Data bends the bar, he does so much that the sides are almost parallel with a very acute angle. When Riker puts it on the desk, it's much more curved and the sides aren't as parallel anymore.

Colony (2016)
Sublimation - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Katie is talking to Grace, she has the works of Confucius under the Bible and Koran. When Grace says she likes how people won't die any more, the shot changes and the works of Confucius is now on top.

Colony (2016)
Sublimation - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, after the attack, when the guy is shot in the head, his left arm is crossed over his body (and stays that way after being shot). When the camera angle changes, his left arm is now lying flat on the ground.

Colony (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Katie comes in to talk to Gracie, before leaving, the dog is resting its head in Grace's lap. In the next shot, from behind the couch, we can see the dog's head, meaning it's no longer in Grace's lap.

Colony (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Will tackles Andrew, his shirt is lifted up exposing a blue undershirt that's tucked in, which is also behind his gun. There's two shots of this, but in the next shot, right before Will punches Andrew, we don't see the undershirt.

The Magicians (2015)
Continuity mistake: When the Haxenpaxen dies, its head is lowered and tilted down. But in the next shot of it, its head is straight up. It goes back to being tilted down.

The Magician King
Other mistake: On page 170, when Quentin is at breakfast and Poppy joins them and we learn she's from Australia the text reads "if that was true he could why see Poppy had gotten the hell out." It should say "see why."

Continuum (2012)
Second Time - S2-E13
Character mistake: When Kiera is begging one of the Freelancers to send her back she says she could "prevent Liber8 from ever coming to 2077." She should have either said "coming to 2012" or "leaving 2077."

Continuum (2012)
Family Time - S1-E9
Factual error: In the barn, one of the kids shoots Cameron, then drops the gun and flees. Cameron picks up the gun and checks how many rounds are in the magazine and then puts the magazine back in. However, after that, she pulls the slide back to chamber a round. But the semi-automatic pistol would already have a round in the chamber since it was just fired, and her action should have ejected an unspent round, which it doesn't.

The Wolverine (2013)
Continuity mistake: The note that says "come and get her" in blood changes when Yukio pins it to the wall. The letters are written differently.
Suggested correction: The letters are in the same way.
Watch the scene again. They are different, they are in a different position too.

Deadpool (2016)
Deadpool: You're still here? It's over. Go home. Oh, you're expecting a teaser for Deadpool 2. Well, we don't have that kind of money. What are you expecting? Sam Jackson to show up? With an eye patch and saucy little leather number? Go. Go. Oh! But I can tell you one thing, and it's a bit of a secret. For the sequel, we're going to have Cable. Amazing character. Bionic arm, time travel. We have no idea who we're going to cast yet, but it could be anybody. Just need a big guy with a flat top. Mel Gibson. Dolph Lundgren. Keira Knightley. She's got range, who knows. Anyways, big secret. Shhh. Oh, and don't leave your garbage all lying around. It's a total dick move. Go.

Deadpool (2016)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning when Deadpool is in the front seat of the cab, the passenger window is rolled half way down, although it seems to change during the scene. But then, when he pulls back his mask, the window is now rolled all the way up.

Lucifer (2015)
The Sin Bin - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Chloe and Lucifer approach Maggie's car, it's parked next to a car that has pulled in forward (so the trunk is seen). But after they open the door, the car next to Maggie's car is now pulled in backwards (so the front is seen).

Bruce Wayne: Alfred, you're fired.
8th Dec 2017
Gotham (2014)
A Dark Knight: Queen Takes Knight - S4-E11
Continuity mistake: When Alfred and Bruce start to fight, Bruce is pushed into the desk - the magnifying glass tips over and the large diamond object falls off. But in the next shot, they're back up. They're gone in other shots.

Answer: According to the Star Trek wiki (memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Anbo-jyutsu), the characters around the ring are a reference to animated series Urusei Yatsura: The large character in the center is "Hoshi", the words next that are "ramu" and "ataru", names of the main characters of that series. The phrases "Urusai" and "Yatsura" are written in the back corner. The characters on the uniforms are references to The Book of Five Rings: "chi", "mizu", and "hi" (ground, water, and fire respectively) is on Will Riker's uniform while "sora" (sky) is on Kyle's uniform in addition to "mizu" and "hi." "Yuri" (lily) and "nintai" (perseverance) are written on banners around the ring.
