Pro Wrestling

Other mistake: In a bit of broken English that became a popular meme years ago, winning a match prompts a congratulations screen that says "A winner is you."

Plot of Fear (1976)

Revealing mistake: At the pork processing plant, a close-up from an Italian newspaper "Corriere della sera" shows news from November 18, when it's established from previous conversations that the killer was captured on November 30th, so it should be a December newspaper. (00:53:00)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Audio problem: In the car scene with the police transporting the prisoner from the cemetery to the station - before he makes an adventurous escape - the protagonist is barely visible through the very pronounced reflection on the windshield; however, when you can see his face, his lines appear to be completely dubbed over and don't match the lip movements at all.

Plot of Fear (1976)

Other mistake: When the former pimp brings fresh flowers for Rosa's tomb, the gravestone says she died in 1972, but both the inspector and his colleague said on separate occasions that the murder happened 4 years before - and the movie is set in 1975 and at the exact same day of her death. (00:48:30)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Continuity mistake: After making love with Corinne Clery, the protagonist asks her when did the prostitute at the party die. The date mentioned is November the 30th, and he says "It's today", but the politician's obituary was dated November 18th. (00:48:00)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Revealing mistake: In the close-up of the supposed killer updating his album with the obituary of the politician murdered on air, amongst the listed surviving family members of the male politician there's also a husband. Not quite likely. (00:28:50)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Continuity mistake: Eli Walach pushes with his cane the cigarette packet closer to the Inspector; in close-up the packet starts off much further from Lomenzo than its original position. (00:17:25)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Revealing mistake: When the mistress is burnt alive, she does not seem all that bothered, and simply pulls at ropes blatantly too loose to hold her, which constrain her just at her neck - in fact she pulls at them so weakly probably to avoid ruining the prop. It should also be noted that it's a normal rope, and yet it's perfectly intact after the fire that devastated her face and coat. (00:16:50)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Revealing mistake: When the prostitute is grabbed by the villain, he stuns her with a smack on the top of the head, since the strangling did not seem to work all that well. Thing is, she goes limp only a second after the sonic boom of a sound effect. She also somehow stays perfectly straight against a tree; she sleeps on her feet like a horse, evidently. (00:15:35)

Bleach: Immortal Soul

Character mistake: During the intro, Rukia says, referring to the Hollow's sound "I can hear it's loudass voice." Unnecessary vulgarness aside, it's "its", not "it's."

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Maggie gets downstairs while Henry and her daughter are playing with their phones. The hair goes in front and behind her right shoulder depending on the camera angle. (00:03:00)

Sammo

Factual error: For the third movie in a row -at least they are consistent - Maggie introduces herself as Detective of the SFPD, but detectives are not referred as such, but as Inspectors.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: On their way to the spicy noodles joint, the two protagonists discuss their snogging; more passersby join their walk between shots. (01:22:20)

Continuity mistake: The phone switches hands when Munro is listening to the big exposition the villain conveniently delivers on air. (01:18:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Henry is inside the home of the likely culprit. He opens a drawer. He closes it, and a yellow envelop that was buried under other items is suddenly on top of everything when he closes without touching further its content. (01:11:35)
