Starcrash (1978)

Trivia: If some of the musical cues for this movie seem awfully familiar, its because James Horner reused some for "Krull" and "Star Trek: Wrath of Khan" and "Star Trek: Search for Spock."

Trivia: When Shad comes through the doorway restrained on the seat, the sound effect of the door opening and closing is taken from Star Wars. It's Darth Vader's breathing sound.

Continuity mistake: When the last guy dies as he tries to escape out the swimming pool window, a large amount of blood lands on the window. The shot cuts to Ricky looking worried, then the next shot shows Ricky leaving. In the background you can see that the blood on the window is now missing. (00:51:10)

Starcrash (1978)

Continuity mistake: Count Zarth Arn discovers Simon, Stella and Akton in the computer room, and he stands in the doorway. In the next two shots, it shows soldiers on both sides of the room, and in both shots, the doorway is now empty.

Starcrash (1978)

Continuity mistake: When Stella is put into the machine to revive her after being frozen, her head is tilted to the right when she goes in, but is tilted to the left when the shot changes.

Continuity mistake: When Shad and Nanelia are kissing, her right ear is covered by her hair, in the next shot her hair is now tucked behind her ear, and in the next shot, her ear is now covered again.

Plot hole: Nell the ship made a statement early on in the movie that the Nuclear bombs that Sador was firing at her could not be destroyed, the only defense was to outrun them. Soon after Cayman dies, Sador fires Nuclear bombs at Shad and Nell, and Shad is able to destroy them by firing on them.

Revealing mistake: When Caymans right hand man throws his spear through the bodies of two enemies, you can see that the part of the spear sticking out of the second guy isn't remotely in line with the spear going through the first guy.

Audio problem: When the Kelvin sacrifice themselves in front of the Sonic Tank, Cowboy walks off and says, "C'mon, lets go", but his lips don't match what he says.

Trivia: The main protagonists in the movie are called the Akira. This is a homage to Akira Kurosawa who did "Seven Samurai", of which "Magnificent Seven" and this movie are based on.

Goodbye To All That - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: On the firing range when John Connor fixes the stoppage on the rifle, his shooting glasses are on his head, when he hands the rifle back, the glasses are now over his eyes, and in the next shot they are on his head again. Not enough time has occurred between shots for this to happen.

K-9 (1989)

Continuity mistake: When the Lyman realises that Dooley's bomb detonator is a fake, he starts running away. He must be some sprinter, because in the first shot he's at the end of the semi trailer, and in the next shot he's a good 400m away. He simply could never have gotten that far away in a split second.

K-9 (1989)

Audio problem: When Dooley is in the car on stakeout, he is playing on a Nintendo Game & Watch. They were only capable of bleeps and buzzing noises, yet this one has a sampled laugh, which was never possible on these handheld games. (00:02:20 - 00:10:55)
