Brother Bear 2 (2006)

Revealing mistake: Near the end, right before Nita goes after Kenai, she takes off her dress. If you look closely, when she takes it off, her necklace and earrings come off with the dress as if they were a part of the dress. Also, her hair is tied back when she's wearing the dress. But when she takes it off, her hair is loose and flowing.

Visible crew/equipment: At the final callbacks, when Ms. Darbus calls Sharpay and Ryan onstage, the reflector screen is seen in her glasses.

Hannah Montana (2006)

Other mistake: At the beginning, the pirates find about five tickets in the treasure chest - nowhere near enough to admit all the pirates into the theater.

Enchanted (2007)

Men in Black II (2002)

Other mistake: About halfway through the film, there is a screw-up in the editing. After Serleena talks to the thugs, she proceeds to talk to Jarra. The next time we see her, she is interrogating Zed. Soon after, she is talking to Jarra as if she was never interrupted. (00:39:25 - 01:03:40)

Trivia: The train scene is full of references to the books. The store Count Olaf goes into is called "Last Chance General Store", which appeared in the 8th book. There is an ad in the window for parsley soda which is from the 6th book. Finally, the words "Veritable French Diner" are on the back of the magazine Olaf is reading. These have the initials VFD, which is the secret organization in the books.

Surf's Up (2007)

Continuity mistake: Right before the final race, there is a wide shot of all the surfers. In that shot, Cody has his Big Z necklace that he chucked earlier.

Be Kind Rewind (2008)

Continuity mistake: When Jerry is talking to the woman in the video store after being magnetized, the videos on the shelves keep changing position. Keep your eye on the Lord of the Rings tape.

Question: How come Lisa's presentation was changed from "An Inconvenient Proof" to "An Irritating Truth" for the DVD release?

Brad

Chosen answer: I saw the movie at the midnight showing on its first release in Michigan and it was "An Irritating Truth" for me there. It still says the same thing for my DVD.

Shrek (2001)

Question: I'm still confused about something. Why was Fiona turned into an ogre in the first place? All she says is that a witch cast a spell on her, but they never mention it again.

Brad

Chosen answer: The Fairy Godmother curses her so that her son, Charming, can free her and become king. This is made clear in the second movie.

roboc

Answer: Actually Fiona says that when she was a little girl a witch cast a spell on her.

21st Mar 2008

Shrek 3 (2007)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Charming and his goons storm the castle, Fiona is trying to close the secret passageway and doesn't get it closed in time. But when Charming bursts in, the passageway is completely closed.
