Wishmaster (1997)

Revealing mistake: After the Djinn escapes and there's an explosion in the lab, you can see some stuff on the ground that looks like it's on fire. The objects are not actually burning, the fire is being produced by a burner. There's no smoke from the objects, which is a dead giveaway that they're not actually "on fire." (00:18:15)

Knever

Continuity mistake: When Dianna scrapes against the other car trying to get the Djinn off, he lands in front of the car near the sidewalk, face down. After Dianna's car blows up, it cuts back to the Djinn who is now clear in the middle of the road to the right of the car, nowhere near the sidewalk, and also face up. (01:22:00)

Rat Race (2001)

Question: I remember a couple of scenes that were not in the version I just watched. One was when the girl had to poop out of the car window. I remember her screaming at her dad instead of speaking calmly. I also kind of remember the highway girl showing her full front instead of just side-boob. I'm not positive about the second, but I distinctly remember the first. Was this deleted or am I just imagining it?

Knever

Chosen answer: You're imagining the frontal boobs. I have the DVD and none show this as a deleted scene or otherwise cut out of the movie.

Answer: There was no full-frontal shot from the highway girl at all. Kimberly wasn't speaking to Randy calmly. She was angrily telling him she hated him because he wanted her to defecate out the window.

Answer: You were probably watching the movie on television. It's been formatted/edited to fit the usual two-hour time slot for the network. Kids might be watching it too.

Answer: The girl screaming at her father was in the version I saw, however.

Inception (2010)

Question: I remember Cobb saying that he spent time in Limbo for about fifty years. Was he referring to the time that he spent with Mal, or something else that we weren't shown?

Knever

Chosen answer: He's referring to the time spent there with Mal - remember that we see, towards the end of the film, a scene with the pair of them in their Limbo-built cityscape, both of them old-aged.

Bride of Chucky (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Warren gets nailed, his face is contorted in a certain way. When the kids are leaving his house, his face is shown again and the contortion is very different. (00:41:15)

Hook (1991)

Revealing mistake: When Rufio brings the sword down on the rope holding the slingshot, you can hear the intended sound effect, but the rope is not cut. (01:05:20)

Hook (1991)

Continuity mistake: When Peter is flung from the slingshot, he begins to fall at an angle. Yet when he falls into the pool, he is going straight down, which would not be possible given his trajectory. (01:05:20)

The Office (2005)

The Office mistake picture

Lecture Circuit: Part 2 - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Jim and Dwight are talking about the activities for Kelly's party, Dwight is attempting (horribly) to blow up a silver balloon. Just after Jim finishes reading The List of proposed activities, Dwight says, "You're right, forget horse hunting, it's stupid." Immediately after he says this, the shot changes and he is now holding a brown balloon. (00:16:30)

Grown Ups (2010)

Visible crew/equipment: When David Spade is telling the others about his naughty dream and we see Rob Schneider's hot daughter in the background (leading everyone to believe that it was she that he was talking about), a boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen (when the camera is facing the lake).

Knight & Day (2010)

Audio problem: When Eduardo is telling Antonio about Roy Miller over the phone, Antonio responds to him (in Spanish), but his words do not match the movements of his mouth at all.

Question: After Harry gets Slughorn's memory, he watches it with Dumbledore. Dumbledore says "This is beyond anything I imagined" after the viewing. But then he goes on to say that he's been hunting for the horcruxes. I don't understand his remark when he's been finding and destroying them, since he must know what they are. How else can you look for something if you don't know what it is? (01:50:20)

Knever

Chosen answer: Dumbledore did not know that Tom Riddle was planning to create seven Horcruxes, which was more than he expected.

Super Grover

Question: In the Thailand fight scene, the Thai fighter makes a big move and does a flying kick towards Topper, but Topper just looks at him and he stops just before connecting and falls to the floor. Is this from a specific movie?

Knever

Chosen answer: The whole fight scene in Thailand is supposed to be a homage to Rambo: First Blood Part Two, and the fighter falling is just typical ZAZ humour.

Feast (2005)

Continuity mistake: When Beer Guy gets his eye ripped out, he bleeds on the blonde girl. When we next see her, prodding the dead body on the billiards table, the blood pattern on her face is very different. (00:38:45 - 00:40:00)

Sliders (1995)

Season 2 generally

Trivia: During the intro for the Season 2 episodes, Quinn talks about some of the worlds that they have visited. When he does this, a clip of the episode is played. The first two match up, but the third, he describes as "a world where San Francisco is a maximum security prison" and footage of a different episode is played. It's the footage of the world where a virus has killed most males and the men in the group are kept in a breeding center for repopulation. It may be a little similar, if not for the episode in which San Francisco really is a maximum security prison, which is what one of the characters says verbatim after confusing reactions from the Sliders.

Home Alone (1990)

Revealing mistake: When Marv is about to hit Harry, who has the spider on his stomach, you can tell that, for two shots, it's a fake spider. The real spider is brown. In the shots where Marv is standing about to hit it, the spider is black and motionless. (01:26:00)

Smart Guy (1997)

Working Guy - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: When Yvette and Floyd are playing basketball, the guys come home and distract him. Yvette makes some impressive shots, and you can tell that it's a stunt double because the hair is totally different. Yvette's is big and puffy, and the double's is long and straight. (00:08:15 - 00:09:40)

Smart Guy (1997)

A Little Knowledge - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: A little oversight on the part of the producers. At the final scores that we are shown, Amy has $10,000, TJ has $9,800, and Travis has $2,400. This all adds up to $22,200. Even if they only answered $400 questions (which we can see that they don't), that's about 55 questions at best, only in the first half. That would run way longer, probably about three or four times as long, as any normal game show. And there's no mention of any other rules regarding the scores so there's no reason to think that there are bonus questions that could raise it that much.

Braindead (1992)

Character mistake: When nurse McTavish checks mum's pulse, she uses her thumb. Any nurse worth her salt knows that thumbs have their own pulse and that one needs to use the index and middle finger to get an accurate pulse. (00:30:10)
