Without a Paddle (2004)

Factual error: Right after the water fight on the first day of canoeing, you can see some kind of palm trees in the background. We also see some when the guys are climbing up the hill right before they find the girls in the tree. There are no palm trees in the wilds of Oregon. (00:23:00)

Without a Paddle (2004)

Factual error: The hairy girls claim they are in a giant Redwood named Earthchild. The only Redwood trees in Oregon are in the far South West corner very near the coast and mostly over the border of California. D. B. Cooper was supposed to have landed North of Portland. (00:57:40)

Factual error: When Klaus first finds the Eye, if you look closely at the light beam just as it exits the eye, it is curved like a vortex. Light cannot do this; it should have been straight more like a cone shape. (01:21:25)

Continuity mistake: When Joy begins to give the president a massage, she starts by lightly throwing the towel over his rear, a few seconds later without anyone touching it, the towel is now tucked under his waist slightly. (01:03:35)

The Punisher (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Harry Heck is taking out his guitar from its case, watch as he puts his cigarette between his ring and pinkie fingers, then watch as it appears back in his mouth and then back between his fingers without time to make the switch. (01:05:00)

The Punisher (2004)

Revealing mistake: When the older Saint boy is pointing his gun at Frank's chest, you can see the squib under his shirt, you don't actually see him get shot until the flashback later in the movie, but you can see that the blood explodes from the same spot.

Continuity mistake: The flames on the truck change often, from the back they are just around the base of the tank. But many times from the front, you can see them billowing out the back using an obvious special effect.

Continuity mistake: Buck hits the car which was following him fully head-on with the SUV, but as they are driving away, there is not a scratch on the SUV. (00:25:50)

Sol Parker

Factual error: When Buck and the reporter are leaving his father's grave, we see them driving on the left, then the right side of the road. (00:33:05)

Sol Parker

Continuity mistake: When Buck grabs the girl in yellow by the arm, you can see that he has her by the upper arm, just above the elbow, when the shot changes, he is holding her just below the elbow. (00:59:50)

Rat Race (2001)

Factual error: When Whoopi and her daughter get in the rocket car, look at the wheels, they are ordinary car wheels with car tires. The tires would literally disintegrate well before the car reached 745 miles per hour.

Rat Race (2001)

Factual error: When the brothers are both in the pond and one of them comes up covered in pond weeds, notice a few places on his body, for instance the side of his head, he has a plant attached to him called Water Hyacinth. This plant not only does not grow in the South West, but also floats and you can see that there are none floating anywhere on the pond, especially in the middle where he landed.

Torque (2004)

Factual error: When Ford is about to start up the Y2K bike, Ice Cube's character is giving some stats on the bike like o to 200 in ten seconds, and carbon fiber chassis, he's got it all wrong. The bike does zero to 204 in 6.1 seconds and is made of aluminum; with only carbon fiber wheels, not the chassis.

Plot hole: The hot air balloon carries Fogg and friends quite a distance, but where is the heat source?

Continuity mistake: When Passepartout accidentally drops the Policeman out the window of the train, he falls to the right, you even hear him go to the right, but when the camera backs out, the train's engine is to the right, according to the way the guy fell, it should have been going the other way. (00:40:40)

Trivia: When Passepartout (Jackie Chan) meets up with Wong Fei Hung, you may notice that Wong is played by none other than Sammo Hung, a martial artist Chan grew up with in the Chinese Theater. Chan has also played the legendary Wong Fei Hung in several films, including "Legend of Drunken Master."
