Corrected entry: Poison Ivy's hair is red most of the movie. Yet once she's a patient in Arkham Asylum her hair suddenly looks like a shade of pink.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Corrected entry: Cletus Kassidy's hair has gone from fluffed out and messed up looking from the ending scene of the previous movie to neatly trimmed here.
Correction: This movie doesn't begin where the previous one ended. Kasady simply got a haircut between movies.

Batman: Arkham Knight
Corrected entry: In "A Friend In Need" it's never explained how Hush got into Wayne Enterprises with it being locked down. It's doubtful Arkham Knight knew he was in town and could help him.
Correction: It's not a plot hole for something to not be explained. A plot hole is when there is a logical inconsistency that benefits the story despite not making sense.

The Toxic Avenger (1984)
Corrected entry: A woman's jar of popcorn is stuck. Toxie takes it, it's a jar of unpopped kernels. When he hands it back, it's suddenly popped corn.
Correction: This is not a mistake, the implication here is that the radiation from the Toxie is what caused the kernels to pop.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Corrected entry: It's never explained why Patrick would want to kill his second wife, or how he switched headstones without being caught or having some assistance.
Correction: Just because something isn't explained doesn't make it a plot hole. But his wife said Patrick took a $10M life insurance policy out on her, so that's one reason.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Parking Spot Escalation - S6-E9
Corrected entry: For being smart they act stupid here. They don't think to alter the days the guys use the parking space with Friday being where they either share it together or Leonard or Raj get it while Howard and Sheldon would each get it two days apiece.
Correction: It's not a stupidity. It's entirely within the personalities of the two friends that Sheldon wouldn't accept change and give up something that is rightly his and for Howard to gloat over that he's a bigger deal than Sheldon now and refuse to give up something given for his new celebrity.
Correction: Sheldon didn't even have a car. Heck, he didn't even have a license. Well, except for a later episode where he secretly had a license that he never used.
This point is made several times in the episode. The fact that Sheldon does not have a car but still agues forcibly for his right to the parking space serves to reinforce the recurring theme of the show, that Sheldon is unbearably eccentric and opinionated but still manages to engage with his social group.

Wonder Woman (2017)
Corrected entry: The Germans on the ship should've opened fire on the beach when they saw the battle going on. No reason is given why they didn't.
Correction: Perhaps they didn't want to fire on their own troops as the ship started capsizing. Not an ideal scenario in which to try and accurately target enemies on a beach.
Well in every war America's been in cannons are firing even as troops are engaged on the battlefield.This was also quite risky and necessary, hence why I brought this up.
It is not customary to fire on your own troops. Not in any war. Highly rarely it is inevitable, but not in this scenario.
That is not standard practice, and the ship was sinking at the same time. The crew had other things to worry about.

Batman Returns (1992)
Corrected entry: There are several biker clowns not beaten by Batman early in the movie, but they disappear for the rest of it.
Correction: Not sure how this is a mistake, just because those henchmen were not featured later in the film.
On top of that, the bikers were wearing skull masks. There's no way of knowing whether or not they were still in the film unmasked later on.
6th Dec 2020
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Corrected entry: The movie's plot of a magic wishing stone seems to have been inspired by Gary K. Wolf's book Who Censored Roger Rabbit where a lantern granted wishes. Both though did/appear to be a great cost/reversal of fortune.
Correction: Considering the story of Aladdin involves a magical object leading to wishes being granted, connecting it to a specific book is a stretch. It's been a storytelling device for hundreds of years, if not longer.
7th Nov 2020
Halloween (1978)
Corrected entry: Possibly to avoid being gory, Michael, who's just been unmasked by his father, has a clean butcher knife despite having stabbed Judith multiple times.
Correction: This is incorrect. It's a little hard to see, but if you pay attention, there is some blood on the bottom edge of the knife when the camera cranes back. Look up the YouTube video "Halloween 1978 - Young Michael Myers" and watch around 1:45 through the end of the video - blood is definitely visible on the knife.
23rd Oct 2020
Dave (1993)
Corrected entry: Bob Alexander thinks he'll become Vice President after Nance resigns. One problem, by law, the Speaker Of The House assumes the office of Vice President, not the Chief of Staff.
Correction: When there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President, the President nominates an individual as Vice President, upon approval of Congress. There isn't a Vice President line of succession.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2019)
Corrected entry: During the bar fight notice two women, a blonde and a brunette, they're ready to use beer bottles with the blonde's back to the audience. Then, once Sonic has tied everyone's legs together, they've suddenly switched places.
Correction: Background is different in these two shots, so they didn't switch places but merely were shot from the opposite angles.
29th Aug 2019
The Golden Girls (1985)
Corrected entry: Blanche's brother tells of his and his boyfriend's plan of a simple ceremony. The year is 1990 and Florida didn't recognize gay civil unions or anything like that back then.
Correction: Whether it's officially legal or not, a couple can still organize a ceremony and treat it as a wedding. The brother and his boyfriend would consider themselves married.

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
28th Sep 2020
Spider-Man (1994)
Corrected entry: Spider-Man should've recognized Black Cat as Felicia Hardy since she doesn't disguise her voice.
Correction: This is a common trope in superhero stories and falls under suspension of disbelief. Spider-Man doesn't disguise his voice either, but no-one he also knows as Peter Parker recognizes it's him. Clark Kent's disguise is nothing more than a pair of glasses, but it fools everybody. Batman's lower half of his face is visible and people should also be able to deduce that being Batman would require a lot of wealth, in addition to recognizing that Robin is actually Bruce Wayne's ward since he only covers his eyes, etc.

The Dark Knight (2008)
Corrected entry: It seems dumb to blame Batman for Two Face's murders. They should've just blamed them on The Joker.
Correction: As bad as the Joker is, Batman would never falsely accuse anyone of a crime they didn't commit. Plus, Joker was in custody at the time, so people could become suspicious the police are lying about the murders. But it also sets up a new persona for Batman to put fear into Gotham's criminals. He is now seen as a vigilante willing to kill. And it sets up Harvey Dent to be the hero.

Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Corrected entry: Given Angela's really Peter it's never revealed how he could mask his male voice. Unlikely his aunt could've taught him how to sound more feminine.
Correction: Just because something is "unlikely" doesn't mean it's a mistake. It's not outside of the realm of possibility, hence it's not a mistake. His (very crazy) aunt has been forcing him to look and act like a girl. She's probably just conditioned him to speak with a lighter, more feminine voice. It's not exactly hard to impersonate a softer female voice. (I have a friend who does it all the time as part of his drag act.) You also have to factor in that Angela/Peter is still a child, and children naturally have softer, higher-pitched voices anyways.
Corrected entry: It doesn't seem likely the turtles would stick around the club after their fight with Super Shredder to get their picture taken.
Correction: This is not a movie mistake. Nothing about them sticking around longer than they should constitutes a mistake.
Corrected entry: When Super Shredder emerges the turtles say he drank the last of the ooze. Impossible as he was blasted through the air, landing in the water. It would've broken, he might've dropped it too, either of those, and he'd have to pull off his helmet's mouth part.
Correction: Nothing about this is a mistake. You're speculating and using too much conjecture for this to be considered a mistake. Suggesting that "it would've broken" or "he might have dropped it" are not mistakes. That's you guessing. And him having to briefly remove his mask to drink it is not a mistake. He could have easily pulled it off then put it back on, or simply poured it through the grating on his mask.

Falling Down (1993)
Corrected entry: During the golf course scene watch the guy clutching his chest having a heart attack. He clutches the right side instead of the left.
Correction: It should also be pointed out that the clutching of the left side in a dramatic fashion is a Hollywood thing. Your heart is located in the center of your chest with just a small part of the heart on the left side, so often the pain will be in the center of the chest and radiate out.
Correction: There's no mistake here. He's having a heart attack. He's panicked and clutching his chest. There's no rule that you have to clutch the exact right spot on your chest while having a heart attack.

Correction: She became part-plant when she was "killed" and resurrected. That's how it's usually depicted in the comics and other media, and she even describes this process in a speech when she comes back to life in this film and kills the evil doctor who created her. She's stuck in a dark, dank prison cell without much sunlight (there seems to be only one small window and minimal light in her cell)... thus her body is becoming weaker, and her color (like her hair) is fading. Just like a flower would without enough sunlight for photosynthesis. Notice how she also looks overly frail and frazzled, unlike how energetic and vibrant she was earlier.
