Character mistake: Miss Fisher is shown tumbling her way into Leonard's apartment in a less than graceful manner, with a rather audible thump, and rolling on the floor and to her feet making quite a ruckus. Despite that, Bobby, who is presumed to be alert and on edge since he's breaking and entering, is completely oblivious of her presence. (00:16:30)

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990)
Character mistake: When Geoffrey serves tea after his sassy cough at Vivian's sentence about High Tea not being a sacred institution, the actor messes up when it's time to actually serve tea, with a napkin getting caught in the teacup saucer. Granted, accidents do happen, but it's quite uncharacteristic for the perfect butler Geoffrey is portrayed to be, and simply a flub by Joseph Marcell. (00:17:45)

Dumplin' (2018)
Character mistake: Dumplin' is looking through her aunt's belongings, and finds an old application form for the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant. The application has an August 1993 signature but marks Lucy's DOB as 5/5/79 with a stated age of 16: it does not add up, as she'd have been 14 instead. Granted, it's an application she never actually turned in and not an official document, but this does not justify the mistake in the context of the movie (not to mention that had she just been too young to participate, the point of the movie would be moot).

See You Yesterday (2019)
Character mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, introductory technobabble. "In this canister, there's a solution of protons. The canister is attached to a rotor circuit that generates the protons to the speed of light." I believe the science genius and creator of time travel mixed up the words "generate" and "accelerate" here. (00:00:50)

Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10
Character mistake: Dr. Mac's first words in this episode are "Her name was Daisy Miller." Only, it was not. In the office with the boss, Jack asks about "Daisy Murphy's death", same for the tea lady. And in the end credits indeed her last name is Murphy. (00:01:30 - 00:05:55)

Shaft (2019)
Character mistake: After the shootout at the restaurant, Junior finds one of the perps' cell phone and calls Bennie, exposing her as the one who sent the killers. He even comments in front of Sasha "Got your ass" before telling his dad about it. Later outside the warehouse, Sasha comments "So Bennie is the one who put out of the hit on us at the restaurant." She should already be well aware of that. (01:14:15 - 01:23:20)

Shaft (2019)
Character mistake: Shaft meets Junior for the first time and mocks him with the offer of bubbly water. Junior says "And as for that wedge of lime, it makes it alkaline, so..." It wouldn't, since lime juice is rather acidic. (00:23:10)

20th Century Women (2016)
Character mistake: Jamie says about his dad "Last time I felt close to him was on my birthday in 1974. He bought me mirrored sunglasses. I saw the President fall down the stairs, and I threw up on the carpet." The footage they are showing on TV is from Gerald Ford's infamous fall from the Air Force One which happened in June 1975.
