The Cocoanuts (1929)

Other mistake: Cocoanut Hotel manager Mr. Hammer (Groucho Marx) reads aloud a telegram stating that guests will arrive on the 4:30 train. He then says, "The 4:15, eh?" and tells Jamison (Zeppo Marx) that he's going to "meet the 4:15."

Continuity mistake: Goodwill captures four of the pigs and confines them in a pillory, a wooden framework with six holes. The head of each pig is sticking through one of the holes. After Goodwill captures Petunia, Porky enters the laboratory and discovers the pillory. Five pigs are now confined, and the sixth hole has disappeared.

Factual error: Curly Joe asks the bartender for a Coke. John Pemberton created Coca-Cola in 1886. The movie is set in 1871.

Steven Lee

Factual error: In a scene set in 1871, several newspaper articles get printed on Moe's face as he falls onto a printing press. Curly Joe reads that "AT&T is splitting two for one." American Telephone and Telegraph Company was founded in 1885.

Other mistake: A handwritten entry in Phileas Fogg III's diary says he and his servants (The Three Stooges) were interrogated by Chinese intelligence. The word is misspelled "inlellegence." (00:55:15)

Steven Lee

Other mistake: Phileas Fogg III and a confidence man are at the Regent Street Bank to sign an agreement regarding Fogg's bet that he can travel around the world in 80 days without spending any money. A Security Bonded Transfer Company courier arrives at 10:37 with a valise filled with cash. As the two men leave the bank two minutes later, Big Ben is chiming 11:00.

Other mistake: What appears to be a long hallway in the palace is actually a painted backdrop. When two guards lock Ulysses in the dungeon, they cast a shadow on the backdrop.

Safety Last! (1923)

Other mistake: As Harold begins to scale the DeVore Department Store building in Los Angeles, the intersection shown in the background is 10th Street and Broadway. In later scenes, it is 9th Street and Broadway. In the final scenes, it is 6th Street and Spring Street.

Courage - S2-E19

Other mistake: The clock shows the time as 2:20. Ozzie goes outside and spends five minutes talking with Mr. Thornberry. When Ozzie comes back inside, the time on the clock is still 2:20.

Dental Receptionist - S1-E22

Other mistake: Cathy Calhoun is knitting a pair of socks for her brother, and offers to make a pair for Ozzie. She tells him, "If you really like them, I could get some more of the material." Knitting is done with yarn, not material. (00:06:50)

Steven Lee

Other mistake: Bobby, Clovis and Celia Bradley find a large gold nugget in a mine. An assayer says gold is worth $15 an ounce and values the nugget at $87,425. That would mean it weighs 364 pounds, more than double the weight of the record-setting 173-pound gold nugget found in 1869 in Moliagul, Australia.

Top Gun - S6-E26

Other mistake: Five young boys in Ozzie's backyard are pretending to shoot each other with toy guns. Ozzie pretends he's been shot and falls to the ground. When he sits up, the boys compliment him on the way he "died great." Ozzie then tells them about his great-grandfather, a gunfighter known as Six-Gun Nelson. Following a fantasy sequence with Ozzie portraying Six-Gun Nelson, Ozzie is now magically wearing a gun belt with two holsters and two guns.
