Suggested correction: This episode was very early in the series, before knowing any history of the characters. Spence's peanut allergy came up in much later episodes. It is possible that he developed the allergy later.

Home Alone (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Kevin is hiding in the nativity set, you can see him on the right, just covered in the green robe. When it changes to the close up shot, he's now holding a shepherd's staff, which would have been visible in the previous shot.

Suggested correction: There is a staff but it's hard to see. If you squint a little, you will see it.
Then you're seeing something else because it would be easy to spot and there's nothing there.
Kevin is definitely holding the staff in all shots, you can see the curved head of the staff against the background.

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
Factual error: The whole movie he drives without any valid license plate. Just a crooked colored plate from the auto store. He would have been pulled over for that immediately, and the car probably would be impounded. Then when he does get pulled over for the leash, the cop says nothing about invalid plates. But he asks for registration proof and Clark shows it, even though he has no legal plates. Plus his meaningless plate is crooked, which is also illegal.

Suggested correction: The first 30 days after you purchase a new car you don't need plates.
Any place I've lived has required at least temporary plates before the car is actually registered.
The officer still would have to run the VIN numbers to make sure the car isn't stolen. A long time ago certain states wouldn't give you a temporary plate at all, you would only have the dealership plate on the back of the car which would raise any suspicion of law enforcement if they were to get behind you, but no ticket would be issued as long as the car is within 30 days and not stolen.
