Plot hole: The Horsemen entered France without evading the customs, even though they were wanted for theft within another EU state, Belgium. Perhaps there is a good explanation for this, but how did they leave France after they clashed with the French police? If they have a means of getting in or out of France stealthily, how did they get noticed the first time?

Stupidity: Lula has hidden her lockpick inside her nose, even though she's not out of better spaces for it. After all, she has hidden an entire extra arm, hand, and fingers. (01:08:09 - 01:08:33)

Stupidity: It took Leroy and Charlie too long (16 seconds) to realise the real J. Daniel Atlas is in their apartment, and he's not a hologram. It would take a microsecond for an ordinary human. (We, the viewers, knew immediately.) (00:10:48)

FleetCommand

Deliberate mistake: J. Daniel Atlas says the trio's abuse of his portrait constitutes a copyright violation. He's wrong. It's actually more serious. Abusing someone's portrait is impersonation and defamation. Even using it innocently constitutes a violation of the right of publicity. (00:13:02)

The Accountant 2 (2025)

Plot hole: During the film's climax, Anais is killing Marybeth Medina when, through the darkness of the dimly lit room, she sees a photo on the far wall. As if in a trance, she advances on the photo. As she approaches, to the tune of suspenseful music, her memories return. She remembers her husband and his murderer. One tiny photo made her whole again... Except, Anais has already seen the photo at the beginning of the movie (at 00:03:55), in a well-lit room, up close. (01:33:55 - 01:36:34)

The Accountant 2 (2025)

Continuity mistake: Anais teleports behind Marybeth! As Anais leaves the room, she turns left. We hear her footsteps on the left speaker. Marybeth runs after her and shoots her, only for Anais to teleport to the right flank of the door. (01:32:44)

The Accountant 2 (2025)

Plot hole: The LAPD detective and Marybeth talk about Raymond King and whether he had money problems before even Marybeth identifies Raymond King, and therefore the detective even has a context to talk about money problems. (00:09:27)

The Accountant 2 (2025)

Plot hole: Christian Wolfe discovers tax fraud at Ike's Pizzeria when he notices that Ike has reported enough income to account for 1,484,315 large pizzas, whereas his paper cost is enough to cover only 900,000 large pizzas. There are two mistakes here. Ike's large pizzas are $17.35, which means his income is $25,752,865.25 (~$25 million), which is nowhere near the $41.9 million income mentioned. Also, since only 2/3 of the business is takeouts, Ike needs only 989,543 boxes. (00:32:48)

Stupidity: A young Jack Sparrow outwits Salazar by tricking him into the Devil's Triangle. Jack uses a bootleg turn to dodge the same fate. However, the film shows Jack's ship within the striking range of Salazar's ship. Salazar could have used a cannonade to both destroy Jack and turn his ship to the starboard side, avoiding the Devil's Triangle. In fact, despite being a naval genius, Salazar did little to escape doom. (01:06:12)

Other mistake: The puzzle box that Miles sends to his friends opens and closes on its own, but its hinges are not connected to any electromotors or kinetic mechanism.

Focus (2015)

Stupidity: With the threat of strangulating Jess, Garriga coerces a false confession from Nicky about the complicity of Jess. Garriga then laughs, calls Nicky out on it, and points out the confession's deficiencies. The film treats the whole scene as an astute reveal à la Sherlock Holmes! Nobody notices, let alone points out, that a coerced confession is worthless. In reality, Garriga would feel very stupid because he almost murdered someone. For the same reason, Jess must feel very angry.

Focus (2015)

Plot hole: Nicky steals the EXR formula from Garriga's "server" by hacking it remotely within 48 hours. That's impossible. Garriga wouldn't carry his servers to race tracks. He needs only the fuel with which to race, not its formula. That means Nicky was left with penetrating air-gapped R&D servers inside Garriga's factory. This task is worth an entire film unto itself. It can't be done in 48 hours.

Focus (2015)

Plot hole: Garriga shows a small thumb-sized device, claiming it changes his password every 15 minutes, thus protecting his servers against brute-force attacks. In real life, remote servers are resilient to brute-force attacks because they restrict wrong guesses. Worse, changing the password every 15 minutes means Garriga would never know a password that can be reused indefinitely within 15 minutes! In real life, we use time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) and 2FA instead.

The Bricklayer (2023)

Plot hole: At the 0:36:00 scene, Vail explains to Kate that Radek was the CIA's hitman, having killed a smuggler called Boris Popov on the CIA's order. Except Kate knew. She relayed the same info to Vail at the 0:06:55 scene.

The Bricklayer (2023)

Plot hole: Kate suspects Vail, searches his bag and finds receipts for two burner phones. She holds him at gunpoint and finds the burner phone in his pocket! So, what we have here is a veteran CIA agent who discards neither his "burner" phones nor their receipts! Does he even know the meaning of the word "burner"? Does anyone involved in the making of this film know?

Fracture (2007)

Plot hole: In this film, a murderer (Mr. Crowford) goes free after recanting his confession (alleging duress) and concealing the murder weapon. The film forgets the most damning evidence: The perp and the victim had been alone in a closed room from which witnesses had heard shots fired. The perp himself establishes that he had motives. He cannot go free without an astounding alibi.

Lightyear (2022)

Factual error: The film gets basic physics wrong while trying to depict relativity. Buzz Lightyear leaves T'Kani Prime for a trip around its sun, travels with near-light speed, and returns four years later. This could only have happened if T'Kani Prime's sun were at least two lightyears away! It gets more ridiculous. Buzz's last trip takes 26 years, even though he has traveled at faster-than-light speed. Overall, T'Kani Prime is experiencing either a mysterious time slow-down or a rapid orbit expansion.

Other mistake: The film's premise is attacking a target that GPS jamming protects. As the attack starts, it is becomes apparent that no such protection is in place. GPS jamming is a form of radio frequency jamming. It would severely affect all radio communications. But planes and their command carrier are in constant, undeterred radio contact. Moreover, the enemy uses radar-guided SA-3 Goa SAM units that would have been unable to operate properly in jamming conditions.

FleetCommand

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: GPS jamming is transmitting radio signals on GPS frequencies, not all radio frequencies. It might prevent GPS being used for navigation or weapon aiming, but it would have little or no effect on radios or radar which use different frequency bands. At the risk of oversimplifying, it's like you could shine a bright flashlight to blind people trying to see you, but it wouldn't stop them using infra red (or hearing or smell or whatever else).

This correction is a mistake in itself. Without wide-spectrum jamming, the U.S. Navy never needed to use NAVFLIR for payload guidance. The site would be open to attacks from other radio-guided weapons, such as NAVCON guidance, standoff missile, and operator-guided bombs, especially since they were hard-pressed to guide their payload through a small window and ensure the survivability of their pilots.

FleetCommand

In the movie they say GPS jamming, not wide spectrum jamming. GPS could be affected, but radar etc would still work. Like you say, the site would still be open to other attacks, and be able to use various defences.

It doesn't really matter. Maverick was told that GPS is jammed, so he threw all kinds of attack plans based on radio guidance out of the window, behaving as if there was a full-spectrum jamming in place. And his commanding officers didn't mind. Either the film's mistake is in its depiction of U.S. Navy's understanding of aerial warfare or its depictions of aerial warfare itself. There is huge mistake in there, it is only a matter of where.

Belle (2021)

Factual error: All Arabic texts in the film suffer from wrong directional rendering. Arabic is a right-to-left language. Its letters have different joined and disjoined forms. The film, however, has rendered Arabic texts from left to right in disjoined letters. These texts aren't semantically wrong, though. For example, deciphering the Arabic message at 0:40:45 point gives "أليس "التنين فنان؟ Translation: "Isn't the Dragon an artist?" The film has even adopted a good font for them.
