Other mistake: One already wonders how fast can SHIELD possibly get to the facility itself once Fury pages them, but when Fury and Vers get into the archive, the clock shows it's 2 PM. After a few minutes browsing, he gets a message on his pager from Keller simply saying the message has been received. He leaves 'for a minute' apparently to go greet them (already?) and comes back; when he walks into the archive the clock shows it's 3 PM. (00:46:15 - 00:51:00)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Other mistake: It's a common narrative device, but through the black box recording, Vers/Carol "remembers" things that extend past the point when she was knocked out unconscious. The black box can't have recorded Yon-Rogg and Minn-erva's conversation after a crash and an explosion of a device that disrupts electronics, or SHIELD would have known everything about the aliens already in 1989.

Ranma ½ (1989)
Ikinari ai no arashi chotto matteyo - S1-E3
Other mistake: Kasumi is untrained and does not possess any particular physical strength, but when Ranma jumpscares her, her bucket of water is flung in the air up so high that it takes several seconds to descend (this part of the scene does not have comical hyberbole overtones). (00:14:50)

Ranma ½ (1989)
Gakkou wa senjouda! Taiketsu Ryouma vs Ryouga - S1-E8
Other mistake: In the establishing shot of the Study Hall one of the girls turning their back to the camera is Akane, recognizable by the yellow ribbon and by the two friends who chat with her. The hair is colored wrong though, pitch black instead of blue-ish. (00:05:00)

Stuber (2019)
Other mistake: When Victor undergoes the eye surgery procedure, the doctors have opened his file, and it's in a June 2018 folder. The movie is set in August 2019, it's a bit unlikely that a whole year went past between the doctor visit and the actual LASIK. (00:12:05)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Other mistake: Once Goku has punched Mai in the face, his friend joins him and there's a shot of the monster corpses in the lava shifting and being swallowed by the incandescent substance. In the green screen background conversation with Muten though, the corpses are still there, completely unmoving - not that it made any sense to begin with that they'd stay put, indestructible, forever.

Baby's Day Out (1994)
Other mistake: The big lady and Veeko himself barely fit in the space between the building and the van, which are aligned. Yet Veeko has to just turn on the left to get a good visual of the lady who is now at the other side of the van itself. (00:32:45)
7th Oct 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Other mistake: When Goku meets Bulma for the first time, he asks her "Are you Piccolo?" Gohan said that "he's returned", and since Goku knows the whole story about Nameccians, he obviously also heard the story about Piccolo tons of times. There's no possible reason why he'd mistake a girl with a gun for the powerful male-looking sorcerer mentioned by his grandfather (it'd be also pretty surprising if his Grandpa talked to him about the alien race thing but neglected to mention that they are green-skinned and distinctly non-human looking). (00:23:45)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Other mistake: Piccolo kills Gohan using a Vader-esque power to choke the opponent, and crushes the wooden part of his house on top of him (a very large part, some mistake it with the whole house) with a display of great telekinesis that takes him seemingly no effort. Throughout the movie, he never shows this kind of power and control over objects or people ever again.

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Other mistake: Fuller's car "explodes" collapsing for no reason, it has been hit with a couple lead pipe swings by a creepily old teenager, never by Goku. And if Goku did it with his Ki, then he'd already have mad power levels, contradicting the rest of the movie. Even throwaway jokes (I would imagine this was supposed to be one) should at least attempt to make sense, or "not not make sense." (00:17:05)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Other mistake: The history in the world of this movie does not have to follow our own (after all, in Toriyama's creations we have dinosaurs roaming the Earth, and talking animals), however the opening narration talks about how "thousands of years ago" Piccolo bringing our "peaceful planet" and "the HUMAN RACE, on the BRINK OF ANNIHILATION." The movie is set in 2010-ish (Goku has a poster of the "Pazu United" football team, year 2010), and turns out from later dialogue that Piccolo is coming back after 2,000 years. The implausibility of a nearly world-ending global catastrophe happening barely 2,000 years ago and being completely erased from history (nobody remembers Piccolo and everybody laughs off the notion of an invasion around that time) is astonishing, but even admitting that, the opening crawl briefly shows warriors in full plate armor, definitely out of place for circa the first century AD. Everything about the narration leads to a very far back mythical pre-historic past, so when later it turns out it's" just" 2,000 years ago, it makes no sense.

Ranma ½ (1989)
Toujou! Eien no mayoigo Ryouga - S1-E7
Other mistake: When Ryoga is told he is in Shikoku, in the windblown view you can see the crowd being more stretched out than when he hightails. Also, the guy with the yellow shirt is drawn with bulging eyes instead of glasses. (00:04:40)
7th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Adventure of the Cheap Flat - S2-E7
Other mistake: Spying on the Italian embassy from Japp's van, the building has 2 Italian flags of the period. But the rightmost one is mounted upside down, with the crown under the shield instead of the opposite. (00:23:05)
7th Oct 2019
Stuber (2019)
Other mistake: Vic receives the bill from Uber; it says "Your Friday afternoon ride with Stu", but the ride took place on a Wednesday (as seen on Stu's phone in front of the dealers' crib: Wednesday 28 August 2019). (00:33:50 - 01:24:50)
7th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Toujou! Eien no mayoigo Ryouga - S1-E7
Other mistake: The boar breezes through the various buildings in the aerial view, but takes a second to break through the wall of the Japanese traditional house where the two old people are. (00:03:20)
7th Oct 2019
Criminal (2016)
Other mistake: Kevin Costner is billed in the credits as "Jerico Stewart." His prison file though spells his name everywhere as "Jerico Steward", with a D. (00:12:00)
6th Oct 2019
Fatal Fury: King of Fighters
Other mistake: The SNES version of the game misspells the owner of Pao Pao Cafe, Richard Meyer, calling him "Richard Myer."
6th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Other mistake: Vers enters the second escape pod. She crash lands on Earth, inside Blockbuster, at night. Somehow, the 4 Skrulls are shown later in the movie as landing together, and in broad daylight. That's nonsensical, considering Vers left behind an exploding ship, so they all left together. And one left even before she did (first escape pod). (00:23:10 - 00:25:00)
6th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Other mistake: One blast of the stun weapon by the Skrulls is all it takes to KO Carol long enough to be kidnapped, taken aboard the ship and brain probed, but in the fight scene that ensues she gets hit multiple times and just shrugs it off like it's nothing.
