Revealing mistake: When Sub Zero is dying, you can see blood spurting. It should be coming from his neck, but it's actually coming from his gloves.

Suggested correction: Sub Zero grabs the razor wire as he is going down. When he falls, his hands and fingers are caught in the razor wire. I always assumed he lost his fingers, but at the very least, he severely injured his hands. Either way, the blood coming from the gloves is because of the hand and/or finger injury he sustained. Yes, his neck also does get cut, but the blood we see is from his hand injury.

Mr. Destiny (1990)
Trivia: Ellen Robertson's dog is named Hercules. Hercules was the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in his first movie, and Arnold also starred with Linda Hamilton (who played Ellen Robertson/Burrows) in The Terminator and Terminator 2. This was done again in Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines which had a scene with a cat named Hercules. (01:02:50 - 01:11:25)

Suggested correction: This feels like a bit of a stretch to me. Linda Hamilton's dog in this movie is named Hercules. Linda starred with Arnold in The Terminator. Arnold played Hercules in a completely separate movie that had nothing to do with Linda Hamilton. This feels way more coincidental than anything.

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Corrected entry: Doc and Marty could not know where the 2015 Marty lives and go there to get 1985 Jenifer.
Correction: He'd been there once before taking Marty to the future. When hearing about Marty McFly. Jr, he could have done a background search on him, including age, phone number, and address.
Correction: Marty tells Doc twice to look him up when he gets to the future. Marty would have purposely left himself very locatable in the White Pages or whatever public directory was available in 2015, so he could reunite with Doc. Off camera, Doc goes to the future, finds Marty quite easily, and instantly comes back to 1985 to fetch Marty. 1985 Marty does not know where 2015 Marty lives, but Doc does.

Chicago (2002)
Revealing mistake: If you look closely at Billy Flynn in the musical number "All I Care About is Love", right at the end when he takes off the boxers, you can see that he is wearing underwear underneath them.

Suggested correction: Not only is this not clear whatsoever, since we can't see below his waist, but this is happening inside a musical number, not meant to be taken literally. It is just theatrical exaggeration for the performance.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Corrected entry: If O-Ren can hear so well that she senses the Bride crouched outside the door, throws a dart at her, and sends GoGo to check, how come she can't hear the Bride jump down from her hiding place in the ceiling after GoGo returns? (01:09:25 - 01:10:30)
Correction: The camera never shows how Uma crept in front of the door...she may have made noise that wasn't shown on camera.
And just for discussion purposes, I'll also add that I was under the impression that O-Ren just sensed something wrong. If it was heightened hearing senses, then she arguably would have heard the bride struggling to cling to the ceiling.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Corrected entry: Something is seriously wrong with Vernita Green's daughter's age. Nikki would have to be younger than BB (Beatrix's daughter) if you consider that Vernita probably got pregnant after trying to kill Beatrix. This would but BB at least 9 months to a year older than Nikki. Now, if BB is 4, then is Nikki 2 or 3 and going to school? Not to mention that she was played by an actress who was 7 or 8 at the time, Nikki's age was handled incorrectly either way.
Correction: The film states when Beatrix arrives in Tokyo, that it has been one year since she came out of the coma. Since Beatrix kills O-ren before Vernita, she kills Vernita over a year after being out of the coma. So it is assumed that Vernita gave birth one to two years after the beating. And so, BB is older than four when she finally meets her.
The last sentence of this correction I think confused the names of the two girls. Vernita's daughter is Nikki, and it is explicitly stated that she is four. The bride's daughter is BB, and while not explicitly stated, the timeline tells us that she is 4 years old, as it has been 4 years since the massacre on the bride's wedding day, and she was pregnant at the time.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Corrected entry: On the way to the meeting to find out the job, Roth, Keitel, Buscemi and Penn are discussing a female cop on a TV show. Penn finishes the conversation with, "I'd have to agree with Pink on that one." The very next scene when they know the details of the job is when they are given their colour code names.
Correction: The briefing when they learn their aliases occurs before this in real time (but is shown afterwards in the film) so Penn would have known that Buscemi was called Mr Pink.
I disagree. While there are some parts of the movie that are shot in a non-linear format, I don't believe this is one of them. It's relatively clear that Orange is being picked up from his apartment by the rest of the crew, and they are headed to the meeting where everyone gets their names.

Die Hard 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: Bruce calls his wife and finds out that she should be landing soon. We then see the journalist from the first film making a huge fuss about being moved from first class, where he has been sitting for the entire journey. He hadn't been in Holly's compartment before due to his reaction when he first sees her. Why did they only just move him when the plane was about to land? He was sitting in first class the whole journey with no problem. Surely ten more minutes wouldn't hurt?
Correction: Holly IS in the first class, the left and the right rows have only 2 passanger seats, the middle one has 3. When the journalist goes to his assistant in the other compartment to ask him about the radio, it is clear that the side rows there have 3 seats and the middle one has 4.
Correction: He is not getting moved out of his first-class seat. He went to the first-class cabin to demand the meal that would have been served to him in first class. The seat that we see him in he has had for the entire flight. The flight attendant is just asking him to return to his seat. As for Holly, he just simply didn't see her earlier. Which makes perfect sense; when most of us get on airplanes, we're not looking at every passenger in our section.
Correction: Actually I believe that the section that Holly is in is business class, which can be similarly equipped, seat wise, to first class. Thornburg was moved from first class to this section.

Die Hard 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: On the plane, Holly informs the air hostess that Dick Thornberg filed a restraining order against her. She then goes on to say that this is because she knocked two of his teeth out. In the first "Die Hard" film, Holly punches Dick in the nose, not the mouth.
Correction: Because of the camera angle, we can't see the location of impact of Holly's punch. The fact that Thornburg only holds his nose doesn't preclude the possibility that the injury might've been more extensive. Also, given Thornburg's reputation and character, it wouldn't have been beyond him to have been lying about knocked out teeth when he filed the restraining order. Holly didn't stick around to see the results, so from her perspective that might've been what happened.
Correction: My interpretation here is Holly is just using that as a term for punching Thornburg, not to be taken literally. Like saying that somebody got their ass kicked. We all know what that means; it doesn't mean that someone literally got kicked in their butt.

The Rock (1996)
Corrected entry: When the Thermite Plasma bomb is dropped accidentally and Nicholas Cage is flying through the air because of the detonation, you can see that he (the stuntman) is hung up on the hips. Maybe you can only see this one in the DVD version, frame by frame.
Correction: If it's only visible in slow motion it's not a movie mistake.
Agreed, but this is visible without the slow-mo or pause.

The Rock (1996)
Corrected entry: Data on John Mason in FBI database doesn't show his name when Stanley Goodspeed's colleague searches in it [just a string of X's], in order to hide his identity [as remarked by FBI director Womack]. However, there is a full name and address of nearest relative [his daughter Jade]which is would make him easy to identify in any case.
Correction: It was not easy to find. It took a trained FBI researcher who knew what he was looking for to find it.
I think what the entry is pointing out is the fact that Mason's name has been erased to protect his identity, but it still has his next of kin listed with a full name, relation, and address. If somebody came across this record and wanted to know who this mystery person was, they would simply need to research who Jade's father is.

The Town (2010)
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the laundry room Claire thinks back to the bank robbery when she would have gotten blood on her blouse. The recall shot shows her standing in the bank wearing the blouse. In the original shot during the robbery she was laying on the floor wearing a black jacket and would not have gotten blood on the blouse under the jacket. (00:06:00 - 00:20:00)

Suggested correction: Blood could have seeped through her jacket to her blouse.
This entry is pointing out how Claire was lying on her chest when the manager got assaulted. The blood stains are on the front of Claire's shirt in this laundry scene. There's just no way blood could have gone on it, considering the fact that she was lying face down.

Ocean's Twelve (2004)
Trivia: The scene where Tess is imprisoned with two prostitutes is a reference to "Pretty Woman", also starring Julia Roberts.

Suggested correction: This feels like a stretch. The movie never says those women are prostitutes, and there's nothing in the scene that even suggests it's a nod to Pretty Woman.

Ocean's Twelve (2004)
Corrected entry: Franklin is on the $100 bill, not Adams as Reuben and the others say.
Correction: The characters all say different names, like "Grant" and "Jefferson", and Reuben simply says "right!" It's meant to be a joke: that nobody knows who is actually on the $100 bill, even though they've stolen stacks of them.
Completely agree with this, and I'll add a funny tidbit: if you listen closely, you can hear Danny say "John Travolta." Confirmed if you turn subtitles on.

Baby Driver (2017)
Trivia: During the second heist, all of the crew are wearing Austin powers masks. Kevin Spacey who co-starred in this had a cameo appearance in the third Austin Powers film, playing himself.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I think this is more coincidence than anything. Spacey's Austin Powers cameo is about 5 seconds, and he's playing himself as Dr. Evil, not Austin. Maybe there'd be a connection if he played Austin or was even in this Baby Driver scene, but this was just a workaround after they were denied the rights to Halloween's Michael Myers.

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Riggs and Murtaugh kick Murtaugh's front door open they must have damaged the lock, but when the door falls closed the lock sounds as if it is perfectly OK. (01:09:15)

Suggested correction: Roger has keys to his house. It would make much more sense for him to unlock the door, turn the handle, and then kick the door in for quick entry.

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Riggs and Murtaugh walk toward Dixie's house before it blows up, they're wearing large clear glasses, almost like the safety glasses they were wearing at the firing range. After the house blows up they aren't wearing them anymore or even seen taking them off. (00:56:20)

Suggested correction: Roger and Martin are off screen for plenty of time to take the glasses off. Most likely, this happens when we see the kids getting on top of the car.

Executive Decision (1996)
Plot hole: The entire movie is a major plot hole. It's revealed early that Naji Hassan himself organized Jaffa's capture and so it follows that Hassan has no interest in the latter's release. With the nerve gas already smuggled on board the plane and the willingly suicidal Demou in place, the hijack was totally unnecessary. Demou could have set off the bomb as the plane came into land. Rather than draw attention by the hijack, Hassan could've stayed behind and made propaganda from a safe place minutes before.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Hassan says to his man (right before he kills him): "Allah has chosen a mission for us far greater than Jaffa's freedom. We are the true soldiers of Islam." He believes he and his team were divinely chosen by a higher power to strike the U.S., and is determined to be there personally. Knowing not all would agree to a suicide mission, he arranges Jaffa's capture to unite them. They think they're taking hostages to free Jaffa, but only Hassan and Demou know the real goal: to detonate the bomb.

The Town (2010)
Visible crew/equipment: The boom mic is visible in the bus' windshield when Ben Affleck gets off near the end.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I think that is actually a reflection of one of the street lights. You can see a very similar street light behind him for a split second as soon as he gets off the bus. They likely would not have used a boom mic in the scene anyway, as there are no speaking lines.

Heat (1995)
Corrected entry: When Waingro kills the prostitute at the hotel, the girl he kills is a fair-skinned African American, but when Vincent Hanna is called out to the crime scene, the dead girl under the sheet is a darker skinned African American with braided hair, obviously not the same person. (00:54:45 - 00:58:10)
Correction: The coroner at the scene mentions there were a series of murders with the same MO, and would probably find evidence of "the same guy" in this girl. The different girls were shown to show the first girl wasn't Waingro's only victim.
Why on earth would they show a different dead girl right after the murder of this young prostitute in the hotel room? That makes no sense whatsoever. They obviously didn't bother to have continuity to the scene by showing the alive girl in the bedroom scene to be dead.
They are intentionally two different girls. Kai Soremekun is credited as "prostitute" and Rainelle Saunders is credited as "dead hooker." The scene is meant to show he's a serial killer, not a continuity mistake.
Thank you! The explanation above, about another victim being shown to show how many other victims Waingro had killed, is so ridiculously inaccurate it shouldn't have even been published. Makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever.
This actually makes perfect sense. The female police officer says that he "beat her head in, same as the others." That, along with the fact that the two girls shown have completely different hairstyles, supports the fact that this was done intentionally.
