Dark Glasses (2022)

Stupidity: The police inspector leaves her calling card, not written in Braille, to the blind protagonist, asking her to call her in the next hours if she finds something out. She knows she lives alone. The scene is played unironically.

Suggested correction: There are devices that blind people use to read print to them, so they don't have to rely on everything being in Braille.

I am sure, but they show the 'training' she receives from Asia Argento in the couple of previous days, the only device being a phone that accepts verbal commands, and at no point she is shown reading anything or being introduced to the possibility of doing so, they spend time on that. The calling card is then used for a plot twist later, but it makes no sense that the thoughtful cop would give to a blind person without even asking if she can use it or giving the slight non-verbal hint that it was a blunder or problem.

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: The police inspector threatens Diana implying that for a blind woman like she is, life in prison would be a nightmare. He does that casually leaning against the wall with his hand held up high above his head. In the reverse shot, his hand is chest-high. (00:38:15)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: The police shows up at Diana's door looking for the kid. As Diana opens the door, look at her left hand getting on the top of her cane. And yet, in the reverse shot the right hand is there, the left arm is down her side. (00:37:40)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: Diana's fingers are in a different position on the phone between close-up and wider angle when she realises that Chin crept back in the kitchen as she was trying to speak with the headmistress. (00:32:30)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: When the kid is eating cereals in Diana's kitchen, the glass is touching the tablecloth in the first close-up, and it is not in the wider camera angle. (00:31:35)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: Diana gives her business card to the nun, who puts it under a register on a table. That spot is under direct sunlight in the wider angle, in the shade in the close-ups. (00:29:35)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: Rita and Diana are sitting on a park bench. Diana is alarmed by the presence of a white van. She uses her white cane to stand; her hand is on very top of the cane in one shot, and lower in others. (00:25:45)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Revealing mistake: After the accident, some bystanders rush to the car hit by Diana's. A woman leans against the car window spotting a child inside; you can see on the window very conspicuous handprints in that spot from previous takes. (00:17:10)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the movie, Diana is chased by the killer in a white van. They are inside an underpass, but there's a rear mirror view that shows a bus stop and trees. (00:16:05)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: Diana is meeting a client who is really into fisting, and does not take nicely her refusal to be on the receiving end of his knuckles. As he shoves her to the floor, her hands are plainly on sight, and they hold nothing, but conveniently when she is on the floor in the next shot she is holding the mace spray can. (00:14:15)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Stupidity: People can behave irrationally at the horrible sight of a murder, however the first couple that happens on the first murder scene behaves in a completely silly way; the guy pulls over and instantly rushes out as if he already knew what happened roadside, and his partner screams terrified, but jets out of the car and towards the bleeding victim anyway. In fact, she opened the door even a second BEFORE he did. (00:07:30)

Super Robot Wars V

Other mistake: One of Professor Wolfgang's lines when he is defeated by MITO's unit is "Why! Why must I ALWAYS lose to Mightgaine." The problem is, they left it in the pool of lines he can say also in the very first mission Maito appears in, when by the other lines of dialogue through the mission it's implied that they never met before.

The System - S1-E2

Stupidity: The plot hinges on the fact that even Frank Marley's most trusted man would doubt him because of his actions, but he and Marley counted the money together; he should know that Marley was right and the amount declared was not lower than the actual money deposited. Instead, he is fooled like everyone else by the extra 25K$ planted by the IMF team. Their plan can't work unless he is oblivious and/or forgetful.

Sammo

The System - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Nicholas impersonating Marley is going through the security cameras of the casino (none of which catching the 'double Marley' on camera exposing the trick, conveniently) there is one that follows with a cinematic motion the exact movements of the person answering the phone. They are all static cameras, just that one arbitrarily moves, without Nicholas doing anything. (00:36:50)

Sammo

The System - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Nicholas distracts Chuck the security guard with a phone call (terrible plan, since he tells him to search in a spot awfully close to the monitor he's supposed to be distracted from), he touches the papers next to the monitor and the pen in front of it, but when it cuts to him looking at the recording while Grant is working the safe, the objects are in the exact same position as before when he was looking at the money count. (00:19:55 - 00:26:15)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: When Brigade at the end of the movie tells Boone that he'll be the one to get him, Mrs Lane's hair is on/off her shoulder between shots. (01:10:35)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: Frank approaches the dead tree, and Brigade tells him "That's close enough." In the background, the henchman with the hat that is most frequently shot on his own, separate from the others, is on the horse completely still. In the close-up, he's having a hard time keeping him quiet. (01:07:05)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: When the cowboys stop by the dead tree, their positions change at the cut ("And have it over"). (00:52:30)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: In the first close-up of the big evil that is Billy's brother, Lee Van Cleef's face is lit under a totally different light (when he says "It ain't the money that Brigade wants. Not the money at all"). (00:50:05)
