The Marvels (2023)

Stupidity: The heroines guess the plan of the villain with a thought process that can only be explained by the fact that they read the movie script. There is no way for them to surmise that the attack on the Skrull base, perpetrated under subterfuge, was intended to "syphon away the atmosphere", and not just the usage of a really powerful weapon. Even assuming that Kamala's objection to this particular point ("they could have just invaded or used a bomb") is a logical explanation that would disqualify without a second thought the fact that a Kree warlord would use a terrifying and cost-free weapon that is also a symbol of Kree's culture just for its power, and so that it makes sense that the heroines just instantly commit to an alternative theory, there's still a leap of logic in assuming the exact next step for the Kree's quest on revitalizing their homeland (which incidentally involves randomly dumping out of the blue a gigantic quantity of salt water on a densely populated planet).

The Marvels (2023)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, Kamala asks Carol on the porch, "Hey, do you still fly that thing?" She is holding her right hand with her left. The camera angle switches, and her left hand is low, out of frame and comes back up only seconds later after Carol's answer.

Web of Death - S1-E2

Other mistake: Ferro shoots the victim from the front with precision "between the eyes," as stated, killing him instantaneously. However, the body is face down, totally straight, and facing completely away from the door. (00:06:00)

Kojak (1973)

Web of Death - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Kojak is looking puzzled at the crime scene picture, using a magnifying lens. He lowers both hands when Ferro walks into the room, but he's holding them in the same position as before when the camera angle switches to a previously used one. (00:29:05)

Kojak (1973)

Web of Death - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: The first time we see Ferro's hot wife is through the photos he keeps in his locker at the station. In the scene in front of the locker, you can see his wristwatch. It's about 5 past 10. Later, we learn that the murder happened at half past 10. The locker scene is supposed to happen well after Ferro committed the murder. (00:09:15)

Kojak (1973)

Web of Death - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: If you look at the victim lying on the floor when Ferro just killed him, you can spot a rather noticeable hem of his nightrobe sticking out from under his leg. When later, Kojak gets on the crime scene, nobody has touched the corpse yet but the clothing has been tucked in. (00:06:10 - 00:13:40)

Continuity mistake: During the fake drug bust at the beginning of the episode, when Pinky is sobbing during the arrest, a man in a plaid ovdercoat makes his appearance at least thrice, once in the background of the close-up of each junkie, and then when in the wider shot, seconds apart. (00:02:20)

Kojak (1973)

Web of Death - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Ferro is arresting the two junkies. Strats searching the first one, and a man in a yellow-ish coat and a fedora walks behind them in the background. In close-up once Ferro asks "You call that dealing?" the same man walks the same path again. He will reappear again doing the same walk when Pinky says he swallowed the drugs at the end of the scene.

Audio problem: When the cops are grilling the owner of the parking lot, Crocker shouts, "Come on, George, start making sense!" and the guy interjects, "No, honest, I..." His lips are not moving, and he can't be articulating those words. (00:27:50)
