Other mistake: During the close-up of Jay's Mega Ball's receipts (just after he got the phone from the manager of his franchise), you can see the two receipts have different numbers but the exact same transaction details. (00:21:25)

Westward Ho (1935)
Other mistake: John Wayne is recruiting other victims of outlaw violence to assemble his Avengers team; he gives them handwritten notes saying, "Go to Hall's barn at ten o'clock tonight." Forgetting the fact that he somehow managed to find a dozen or more ace gunslingers with his same vengeance agenda in the vicinity of the same barn, it is obvious, looking at the two handwritten notes, that they were in fact written by very different hands, not by just one person. (00:12:50 - 00:13:25)

Fracture (2007)
Other mistake: In the end credits, the opera song is listed as "Ombra fedel anch'io." It's "fedele" with a closing E. While the apocope (elision) of the last vowel is perfectly acceptable in Italian, especially archaic literary Italian, the song (from "Idaspe," by famous castrato Farinelli's brother) is always listed with the final "e." (01:52:15)
1st Dec 2024
Fracture (2007)
Other mistake: When Beachum grabs the Nunally case file next to multitasking Flores, the date on the folder is November 5th, which is patently absurd considering the murder took place on the 10th, and the suicide the Monday after Thanksgiving. (01:37:35)
1st Dec 2024
Fracture (2007)
Other mistake: One of the shots during the montage of Beachum driving to the hospital to try and stop the euthanasia is flipped; the writing on the desk is mirrored. It comes after Willy leaves Judge Gardner's yard and a close-up on Embeth Davidtz's face. (01:32:10)
1st Dec 2024
Fracture (2007)
Other mistake: Willy just rebuffed Nunally's offer of fabricating evidence. He listens to Nikki Gardner's phone call; he doesn't pick it up, it gets to his answering machine. After that, the answering machine tells him he has one unheard message (the 4:10 one from the hotel concierge), but it should be two: the hotel's and Nikki's. (01:13:20)
1st Dec 2024
Fracture (2007)
Other mistake: In the case file folder that Crawford sent back to Willy, you can spot the hour of the arrest being marked down as 21:15. Considering the murder happened around 5 PM, according to the depositions, that's just wrong. (00:37:20)
1st Dec 2024
Fracture (2007)
Other mistake: The Italian version redubs the antagonist as "Thomas" and "Tom," localizing the movie title to "The Thomas Crawford Affair," in an obvious attempt to capitalize on the fame of the cinema classic "The Thomas Crown Affair." However, end credits (and obviously the police report) still list Hopkins' character as Ted Crawford.

Juror #2 (2024)
Other mistake: Justin reads the online article about what happened one year earlier on October 25th, which, as mentioned during the testimony and in line with the movie current events taking place in 2022, was Monday, Oct 25, 2021. However, he then checks his online calendar, which has a note for the due date of the twins (his wife's earlier miscarriage that indirectly caused the accident). But the note is on a "T" day - Tuesday, Oct 25, 2022. He looks up a 2021 note in a 2022 calendar... and he finds it. It should also be noted that you can see in the browser window by the calendar that the online article he was checking out earlier now wrongly says that they argued on the night of the 24th instead of the 25th. Clicking on the calendar entry pops then up the correct Monday 25th, 2021 date.
18th Nov 2024
Juror #2 (2024)
Other mistake: Justin is checking out an online article from one year prior. The article incorrectly says that the arguing couple parted ways "shortly after midnight," when we know that she was in fact killed at 11:46. It may seem that an online article getting something wrong is not a big deal (then again, most movie mistakes aren't), but what makes this funny is that Justin checks a few seconds later the same article, and this time the same line says "shortly before midnight." Someone realised the mistake when it was time to shoot a closer angle of the screen, and production fixed it.
18th Nov 2024
Gladiator II (2024)
Other mistake: Macrinus and one of his high-ranking friends are discussing Lucilla's son, who disappeared when Commodus died. The guy says that Lucius disappeared when he was "about 12," but in the original Gladiator, he was barely about to turn 8. They also say these events happened 16 years prior, but, again according to the movie lore (without even looking at history), he died in 180 AD, and this movie is set in 200 AD.
1st Aug 2024
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
Other mistake: During their first confrontation with Cassandra Nova, the dynamic duo seem to score a point when Wolverine backstabs her in a very literal sense. While it makes for a cool moment, it also is pure nonsense; they are in an open space surrounded by her goons and none of them has the slightest reaction nor you can see any cover Wolverine could have used to sneak upon her. Even the soft ground is intact.
Suggested correction: Cassandra uses her powers to phase shift (ghosting, selective intangibility) Wolverine into the ground and behind her. After her quite long time inside Deadpool's head, Wolverine manages to get himself out, phasing himself back behind her and stabs her. Since he was phasing, the ground won't be disturbed.
But he DOES disturb the ground when she phases him into it. He sinks in a hole, he leaves a trail. And that is with her controlling the process. Since he doesn't control the phasing and how to emerge from it, I don't get how he can just casually pop up (with no particular speed) without any trace, and again, unseen surrounded by goons watching from every angle, to nobody's reaction.
Look at the scene closely (if you can). There is far less disturbance than would have happened if someone was dragged through the ground. The only disturbance you see is from his claws still sticking out of the ground as he is being dragged; his body has zero effect on the ground. I think it also has to do with the amount of force Cassandra uses to pull him. Coming up slowly would hardly disturb it. The goons won't interfere; they know what she is capable of and has nothing to fear from these two.
Will of course check out the Disney+ release in the future, but the movie doesn't show the action going on this way; if they wanted to show him being phased, then they shouldn't have depicted him as being sucked into the ground with his body looking very much solid, nor his claws leaving claw-shaped trails. The fact that it causes much less of a disturbance than it could have is because well, her powers are not something we have a real life comparison with; the way she "skinned" Johnny wasn't physically accurate either but there's no lack of consistency with anything else. As for the on-screen portrayal of the ground pull, all I am pointing out is that he very much leaves physical and permanent trails on the ground that the movie shows, at no point his body shows to be immaterial, and then a minute later he just pops up, with no particular haste, and there are no traces of him going through the same medium. As for the lack of reaction, it's a lack of timely reaction; they do react to him when he stabs her, you can see some of them raising their guns, so it's not as if all of them have such trust in their boss' abilities that they are nonchalant about whatever is directed at her. It's just that they react to it when the audience does. There's no reason why they wouldn't do it earlier. Other than the fact that it's a movie, but's not like Deadpool makes a joke about their terrible reaction times.

Kojak (1973)
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)
4th Oct 2023
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Other mistake: One of the slip-ups that incriminate Redd White involves the way the victim died. Phoenix points it out, saying, "The victim died from a 'single' blow!" Using quotation marks for "single." The autopsy report, though, does not literally say "single," but just that died from "a blow" without ruling others out. If this seems minor, consider that the Trilogy remake feels the need to remove the quotation marks, obviously because it was not quoting the in-game text of the autopsy report, which was much more vague.

Kojak (1973)
Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, there are a few sequences with police cars going at notable speed down the streets of New York. In a few instances, you can see people gathered in street corners, looking at the filming. One egregious example is when the criminals loading the van are startled by the sirens. In the following shot, two bystanders look at the car, then turn towards the camera, and one even takes a few steps back to get out of frame. (00:03:40)

A Haunting in Venice (2023)
Other mistake: Poirot receives a box of chocolates when he's home, then goes out shopping for eggs with the same box in hand, and in the next scene he's back home, having breakfast with the eggs. There's no apparent reason for this behaviour; who goes out for an errand bringing along a sealed box they just received?

Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders
Other mistake: In the introduction of the game, Poirot reads the letter he receives from ABC. He reads it slowly and carefully to Hastings. It says, just to quote some of it: "You fancy yourself, don't you, at solving mysteries that are too difficult for our thick-headed British police? Let us see, Mr. Clever Poirot, just how clever you are. Maybe you will find this case a nut too tough to crack." Then he puts the letter on the table as the credits roll. The text on the letter is entirely different. ("I've heard that you are very good at solving problems which are too subtle for our poor British police officers and their slow minds. So, clever clogs, we are going to put you to the test.") Funnily enough, the first one, more concise and clearer, is the ACTUAL Agatha Christie novel version, it's not even a choice made to speed up the dialogue for a quicker pacing of the scene.
22nd Sep 2023
Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
Other mistake: The opening montage shows the news story of the kidnapping of the Armstrong child unfold through newspaper articles. The kidnapping takes place in April 1930, but next to the headline of The Police Gazette about the getaway car, you can read a headline (incidentally, from a magazine with the name of the victim in place of the publication's name) that says "Snow-covered Rocky Mountain states feel first winter blasts." First winter blasts, in April. (00:03:45)

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Other mistake: In Tangiers, Indy's cab pulls over in front of the mob-owned hotel where the famous illegal auction is taking place. It's dark outside, but when we see Indy in the hotel, and more evidently when they get out of the hotel and the car chase starts in the span of 5 minutes, it's broad daylight. That also means that just before 6 AM (when dawn would take place in August), the hotel is chock full of normal people boozing, playing cards, plus an assembly of rich baddies from all over the world who just happen to wait to have an auction.
9th Jan 2023
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
Other mistake: In the original version and in the flashback, Benoit Blanc's delivers the lines about the "loaded gun on the table" in a different way and gestures differently throughout it. (01:56:10)
