Continuity mistake: In his fight with Bane, Batman judo-throws him on the floor and lifts his foot to stomp him. From the position of Bane and his raised open legs, it's quite obvious that he's about to whomp him in the nuts, but Bane in the following shot grabs Batman's foot that is stepping on his throat. (00:07:10)

Stupidity: The whole movie necessarily has to be filled with stupidity (we're talking about a 9 months kid besting 3 adults), but there's one part perhaps not so obvious and that may be related to a mistake about the ransom note. When the bad guys watch the news, it's obvious that their original plan failed, since they cannot retrieve the money at the designed drop zone, the police have been called and they'd need to rethink the whole operation. Yet they make no comment about it and don't seem bothered by that at all.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: As Bink's dad looks at the ransom note, the note says "Mr. Cotwell, we have your baby. Put 5 Million $ in a trash bag in the alley behind the Ovaltine factory. No police." Then there are dramatic zoom jumpcuts on parts of the letter, ending with "By midnight." But that last part was not in the note at all. (00:15:00)

Plot hole: There is a scene setting up the nonsensical resolution of the plot, when the policeman recaps the various baby sightings. First; he already got 'fake' reports he chased, there was a scene about that, let's ignore the fact that certainly he would have gotten more like that and he conveniently for the plot lists just the few relevant ones. Second; the baby was kidnapped at 10 and the baby sighting on the bus happens "in the morning." Then the zoo sighting happens "at 3 o'clock." The construction site closes at 5 o'clock. Even forgetting the superior stamina of the 9 months baby that has been walking a whole day without a break, that's a lot of stretch for the actions as shown in the movie, in particular the time between the bus and the zoo; the bad guys would have been loitering in search of the baby for hours between the bus incident and the moment when he leaves the department store to get to the zoo.

Other mistake: Veeko has a hard landing on top of the elevator at the construction site. It's shown when the camera pans up to him, that the elevator doors are vertical scissor gates that open sticking out of the cabin, we see the actual door going up and being lowered to close the gates. Few moments later he is crawling with his body between the cabin and the floor and yet new workers get into the elevator without pushing the gate door up into his stomach. (01:15:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Norby rips a bit of Veeko's pants from the right leg; when we see a close-up of Pantoliano, the filament popping in frame from above comes from the left side (if it's a shoelace and not part of the torn pants, Veeko's boots were not unlaced). As he falls, we see for a moment Veeko's feet and there's no torn fabric dangling. (01:13:50)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The girder is being already lifted when Veeko finds him; he has still to talk to his buddies outside, and they need to get into the construction site, look at him. Before they go to the elevator and take it, more than a minute has elapsed but the girder has gone up just a handful of storeys. (01:09:20 - 01:10:15)

Plot hole: Aladdin breaks the lamp and that causes the castle to vanish in thin air. The many guards, servants and objects who were not part of the original enchantment but simply transported by the Vizier's wish are somehow also gone, and the genie still has his powers, despite saying that without it "I would be my own man" and that the power was in the lamp.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The Vizier tosses his knife at the invisible Aladdin and hits him, turning him visible. The mistake here is that the special effect shows appearing from nothing Aladdin holding the lamp as a whole. The lamp should have already been visible, it's the object that gave away his position. (01:18:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the fight with the vizier's overgrown lizard, Zamir draws the attention of the "big ugly belching beast"' insulting it. The lizard is looking at him, and he's on the beast's right. Aladdin then faces it, but the bad guy force-throws a rock at him and the beast turns towards him, to the left. Zamir then draws its attention again tossing a sword, that hits its...left eye. He was on the other side. (01:06:10 - 01:06:50)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: Aladdin and Zamir plan how to infiltrate the castle. There's a window that "seems particularly inviting" in their words. "A man standing on another man's shoulders should be able to make it without effort", Zamir says. So we see Aladdin land inside. And then, Zamir. Whose shoulders did Zamir climb to make the jump? It was just the two of them. (00:59:40)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The evil Vizier took over Aladdin's palace and teleported it to a nearby hill (he orders so himself to the Genie, "yon mountaintop"). Aladdin and friends are shown as being at the bottom of the "mountain", but somehow, the trip that would take less than an hour takes them the whole night and they walk for endless plains with no castle in sight. (00:49:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the uphill trip to the Vizier (now Sultan) 's palace, Samad says "To be honest, I'm not in such a hurry to meet up with a wicked man wielding a genie." Aladdin approaches him in a wide shot where everyone's hair and clothes are still, while in every other angle everything is awfully breezy. (00:52:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Talking about the lamp, the British-Arabian friend of Aladdin says "There's something more below the surface here." Naveena in frame has her hair behind the ear, but at the cut, she has her ear covered by a long bang. It keeps switching back and forth depending on the camera angle. (00:25:10)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Forgetting the fact that the night shoot in front of the cave is obvious day-for-night, since Aladdin does not spend a great amount of time in the cave and the Vizier said they needed to be there "before the moon is full" starting their journey in broad daylight when the market was bustling, it appears quite odd that he'd make his return in plain and full daylight. A whole night can't possibly have passed.

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Jafar (rather, Vizier Maghreb) throws a tantrum after the Sultan's decision to give power to his daughter. In the following scene, he is going out with the Sultana. The scenery shown has an incredibly fake CGI feeling, including some suspiciously static human figures on a green lawn. To confirm the suspicions, once the market scene is over and the Vizier winks Aladdin into his grasp, the same panoramic view, verbatim, is presented, including the same ant-like static human figurines on the lawn. (00:04:05 - 00:10:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Daphne is looking at the bun with suspicious looking meaty mush; in the close-up the milk carton is almost perfectly aligned with the tray, while it's at an angle when she gets bumped into by the random guy (something even her dad could never prevent from happening, incidentally). (00:21:40)

Sammo ★

Factual error: The film opens with a quote; "War has rules, mud wrestling has rules...politics has no rules - Ross Perot, presidential candidate 1988." Perot was a presidential candidate in 1992 and 1996, and 1988 can't refer just to the sentence either, because that quote is from 1996 as well. (00:00:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the press conference, McArthur is going full "no comment" about pretty much anything. A grim Alex Cross is standing there. Next to him are the senator's wife and the senator. At the cut the senator disappears, leaving just the wife and the FBI agent. (01:11:10)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Evie Howard leaves the house after the argument with Mrs. Inglethorp, she sits on the sofa explaining what happened to Hastings and the others. She has her hands on top of the purse handles. After a brief cut on Mary saying "oh no", one of the handles is free. (00:16:40)
