The Three Stooges Show (1960)

Bearly Asleep (1955)
Continuity mistake: Park Ranger Donald is leading five bears to a cave, so they can hibernate for the winter. He finds a bear sleeping in a hammock and forces him to join the others. There should now be six bears but a seventh bear has appeared out of nowhere. Later in the cave, their number has grown to nine.

Inside Out (2015)
Other mistake: When Riley and her parents arrive at their new home in San Francisco, several pieces of mail are sticking out of the mail slot in the door. A letter carrier would not deliver mail to a vacant house, let alone not push it all the way through the slot.

Way Out West (1937)
Revealing mistake: Stan is using a block and tackle to hoist Ollie up to the balcony of Finn's apartment. When Stan lets go of the rope, Ollie falls and lands flat on his back. It is obvious by the awkward angle of the legs that a dummy was used. In addition, the dummy lands with the legs close together but in the shot that follows, Ollie's legs are far apart and one leg is in the air.

Columbo (1971)
Character mistake: Piloting a helicopter, Leslie ends a radio conversation by saying "Over and out." "Over" means "I'm done talking; please respond." "Out" means "I'm done talking and I'm ending this communication." An experienced pilot would never say "Over and out." They are two different terms.

World's Greatest Grandma - S1-E13
Other mistake: A six-piece band of grandmothers is playing "When The Saints Go Marching In" at a school talent show. None of the piano keys move when the pianist taps them.

The Monkees (1966)
Find the Monkees (a.k.a. The Audition) - S1-E19
Continuity mistake: Trying to get away from the Monkees, television producer Hubbell Benson enters an elevator on the first floor. After a quick cut, Benson is shown exiting the elevator on the third floor. A potted plant and a "3rd Floor" sign were added to the scene but it is obvious the elevator is still on the first floor. A large ash tray appears in both shots and its contents are unchanged.

I Love Lucy (1951)
Other mistake: Lucy walks out on the balcony and sees Van Johnson sleeping on a lounge chair by the swimming pool. The photographic backdrop shows automobiles, trees, mountains, the Roosevelt hotel and many other buildings of Hollywood but when Lucy goes to the pool and sits on the lounge chair next to Van Johnson, the background is just a plain painted backdrop with no cars, trees, mountains or buildings. This plain backdrop also appears in the episode with Harpo Marx.

The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961)
It May Look Like a Walnut! - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: The episode opens with Rob watching a horror movie on television. The bedside clock shows the time as 9:05. At the end of the episode 23 minutes later, the clock shows 9:10.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Factual error: Rick Dalton, relaxing on a float in his swimming pool, tunes his radio to 93 FM. A KHJ jingle is heard but KHJ was 930 AM. The station at 93.1 FM in 1969 was KNX-FM.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Other mistake: Over a car radio, KHJ's Robert W. Morgan is heard giving the weather forecast. The predicted high is "95 downtown, 105 in the valley." The scene takes place in the middle of winter, February 9, 1969.

Suggested correction: The daytime temperatures can reach that high in the winter.
The highest recorded temp for Feb 9 for Downtown LA is 89 set in 2016, and the highest February temperature ever there was 95 on Feb 20, 1995. "The valley" is too ambiguous to identify where it means. So while they "can", they don't, and any movie showing record-setting temps during winter, even if theoretically possible, would be considered wrong.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Factual error: In a scene taking place Sunday, February 9, 1969, KHJ's Robert W. Morgan is heard on the car radio. Morgan hosted a Monday-to-Friday morning show. He never worked on Sunday.

Columbo (1971)
Other mistake: Over a public address system, Cahill tells his staff to quit working on their World War III scenarios until "after lunch." He immediately returns to his office and the wall clock shows the time as 4:30.

Wall-E (2008)
Character mistake: Captain McCrea tells the passengers that it's the 700th anniversary of the Axiom's first flight. The Axiom has been in flight for 255,642 days. Actually, 700 years is 255,675 days. That figure includes the additional day in 175 leap years.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Leap years only occur because of the earth's rotation around the sun. As the AXIOM is in space, there is no need to correct for the earth's rotation.
First, rotation is the spin of the Earth (which cause day and night). Revolution is the earth orbiting the sun (which causes years). However, this correction is not valid on the premise you're trying to present. Many films set in space still use Earth time, so a day is 24-hours, even though they're in space and there is no sunrise and sunset (although it's stated the Axiom operates on a 25-hour day). So they would use Earth's year, which takes 365.256 days. Since the Axiom isn't orbiting the Sun, it wouldn't experience a year, so they're using something else. The fact that they're slightly off suggests it's a writing mistake and there's no evidence they use an arbitrary 365.203 day year.
That's still wrong. Even if their years were strictly 365 days, 700 years would be 255,500 days, not 255,642.

42nd Street (1933)
Character mistake: On the marquee at the Philadelphia theater where the musical "Pretty Lady" will be performed, lights spell out GALA PREMIER. A premier is the ruler of a country. The debut of a musical is a première.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: "Premier" as an adjective means "earliest creation", such as a primer issue or "first in importance or order." In fact, in 1933 "Mickey's Gala Premier" was released. Only as a noun does it mean prime minister or other head of government.

The Parent Trap (1998)
Factual error: Hallie, in London, dials the operator and says she wants to place a collect call to Napa, California. The phone rings once and Annie answers, then begins talking. On such a call, the operator should have told the recipient, "You have a collect call. Will you accept the charges?"
