Continuity mistake: When Rey receives the talisman from the young alien who asks her who she is, the chain sits on the collar of her vest differently between shots.

Stupidity: The commando mission to save Chewbacca starts gunning down a few Stormtroopers in the hangar. The heroes then go on leaving the troopers lying down on the floor in front of the ship, in plain view. They don't hide them nor ask the droids (who have enough strength and tools to pull them in) to, in fact they tell them to stay put. No wonder they are found out later (after a ridiculously long amount of time).

Suggested correction: Hiding the bodies would have been a waste of time, anyone who came to the hangar would immediately notice that the guards stationed there were missing and there was now a strange ship parked there.

The droids have all the time in the world, and people just passing by are "more immediately" bound to notice corpses in the middle of a hangar rather than possibly maybe question the fact that you don't see guards in that part of the hangar or investigate the ship - which could approach without anyone taking exception by appearance alone. At least remove the bodies directly in front of the damn ship!

Sammo

Why would they be more likely to notice dead guards than no guards?

BaconIsMyBFF

Anyone passing by might well thing the patrols were just out of sync, or a shift change. Sure they might investigate further, but they might not bother. Whereas a couple of dead bodies? Immediate red alert. Worth taking 30 seconds to hide them, surely.

Jon Sandys

Perhaps, but then it's made irrelevant 1 minute later as Finn and Poe run down a hallway blasting about a dozen stormtroopers.

BaconIsMyBFF

For that matter, 1 SECOND later they kill stormtroopers in the far part of the hangar. They are killing people all over the ship during their mission and it's not like they hide every single one of them, but they leave two bodies *exactly* in front of their ship (and telling the droids to stay put). You can even see later that there is a stormtrooper with his weapon pointed exactly where those two corpses are, with the 'smart' commanding officer asking "whose ship is this?" at the sight of that. Maybe I am spoiled by a trope here, but it's the first time that I see someone in an action movie leaving corpses right in front of their only escape route/vehicle, that's so counterintuitive. (Did they even have an escape plan, actually? I don't like hypotheticals, but gee, if only she did the Jedi mind trick thing to those 2 guards who came over to inspect the ship instead of doing it later. But I digress).

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ellie is cleaning up the room, at the very beginning of the scene the candles on the table are close in the sideview and more far apart in the birdseye view. (00:37:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ellen and the charming taxi guy lift a blue robe of hers. The robe is more dirty with fake snow in the close-up than it was in the wider angle. (00:16:25)

Sammo

Other mistake: The Friends section has a "Friend List" tab, "Invite", etc. and a "Recieved" tab (should be "recEIved") in the banner at the bottom.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the bus terminal, Ellen opens the envelope with the money with three fingers on the outer side in close-up, four fingers before and after. (00:11:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the lunch scene with Ellen and her dad, the shadows cast on the table change rather obviously depending on the camera angle. (00:07:15)

6 Underground (2019)

Factual error: Number 5 threatens to leave if 6 runs any more people over, and he scoffs at the back-seat driving. The aerial shot that follows shows a bit of the front of a palace, with a poster. The palace is Spini Feroni palace in Florence, and the poster advertises the "L'Italia a Hollywood" (Italy in Hollywood) exhibition. The exhibition ran from May 2018 to March 2019, but the movie started with a newspaper clipping from the New York Times narrating the war crimes of Alimov, dated Friday November 08, 2019, supposedly the day when One orchestrated his own fake death 3 years earlier.

6 Underground (2019)

6 Underground (2019)

Revealing mistake: With a sharp turn, 6 manages to cause a car crash as the cars fly around scaring off a guy with a Ronaldo shirt. Take a look at the shot when the cars are flying towards the camera, with an obelisk in the middle of the frame. You can see that something 'explodes' on the ground way before the car on the right lands crashing into a stand full of footballs. (00:04:25)

6 Underground (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the first minutes of the movie, one of the cars from the bad guys' infinite supply comes beside the getaway car of the protagonists. Six does what good guys in movies are always able to do; stomps harder on the gas pedal, thus sprinting ahead. We see then the car take a left turn, with the camera positioned behind a bystander with a Ronaldo shirt. But what follows is more shots of the car still driving through the road it supposedly already left (including different natural light in a POV shot). (00:04:15)

6 Underground (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the car chase at the beginning of the movie, there's a phase when 2 says she's getting carsick. The car is taking a turn and entering a street through a part of the square that is in the shadows. Cut, and the Alfa is accessing the road moving on asphalt in full sunlight. (00:08:50)

Batwoman (2019)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Magpie is trying to steal a Faberge egg. We see her lowering herself from the ceiling, a POV shot that positions her right in front of it and she makes the grabby hand gesture thingy like in her first heist. Batwoman throws a batarang, severing her cable and she falls on the floor, vertically. Nowhere near the jewelry case that was supposedly in her reach. (00:09:50)

Batwoman (2019)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Somehow, Alice and a couple goons in conspicuous attire are just waiting by Catherine's car in the cemetery without her noticing. When she says "You know the thing I love about bad guys?" Elizabeth Anweis' hand is not in frame. Yet in the other shots you can see (use the jacket lapel as reference) that the hand, raised above the elbow level, should be visible. (00:06:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Debbie hands Ellie the oven mitts with her right hand, at the cut she is holding them in her left hand. (01:25:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ellie hands the first leaflet picking it by the right side, but in close-up she's holding it from the top. (01:04:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The evil stepsisters shove Kat at the feet of Dominic with latte splattered all over her face. But the mess looks different in the various shots. For instance, in the close-up when he asks her if she's okay and if she hurt herself there's a big splotch by the corner of her mouth, which was not there earlier (she was dirty under the nose at most) and is gone in the next shot. (00:04:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Abby's annoying boss puts her friend to work giving him a box to carry to his car. In a rather blatant continuity mistake, the penguin is facing opposite directions between shots. (00:03:15)

Championship Manager 2

Other mistake: Very rare to find in the immense database outright mistakes (not counting questionable attributes, at least...) but this version of the popular soccer manager game consistently had top Lazio striker Giuseppe Signori's last name misspelled as "Guiseppe."
