Sins of the Fathers Chapter 9: Tombstone - S3-E9
Trivia: When Spider-Man saves Tombstone from falling into a bubbling vat he jokes about him coming out with "green hair." Clearly that's a joke referencing DC comics' Joker.

Spider-Man (1994)
Sins of the Fathers Chapter 7: The Man Without Fear - S3-E7
Revealing mistake: During the fight with Kingpin recycled footage is used from Season 1 Episode 7 Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous. It's obvious when you see the background looking like the warehouse along with Doc Ock's machine behind Spider-Man.

Spider-Man (1994)
Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Doc Ock's left glove briefly disappears during his second fight with Spider-Man, and Jameson's pants are briefly his jacket's color during that fight.

Goldfinger (1964)
Question: Surely the Federal government would realise Goldfinger's involvement once he tried selling them his gold? That and what does China promise him for creating economic chaos in the West?
Answer: Yes, the U.S. government would realise that Goldfinger was involved. The movie's plot is deliberately unbelievable and merely intended for entertainment, not reality. Audiences are expected to employ a "suspension of disbelief." China promised Goldfinger the nuclear bomb so that he could carry out his plan. They wanted to create economic chaos in the US while Goldfinger's own gold would become far more valuable.

Spider-Man (1994)
The Menace of Mysterio - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Mysterio's unconscious he's in his costume. When Spider-Man leaves him webbed up he's wearing street clothes. But when he's shown on the headlines of the Daily Bugle he's back in his Mysterio costume.

Halloween 4 (1988)
Plot hole: It's never really addressed or explained how Shredder survived his death in the previous movie from being crushed in a garbage truck.

Suggested correction: It didn't really need to be addressed, and thus is not a mistake. His hand emerging from the junkyard is enough to show that he survived his apparent demise at the end of the last film.

American Dad (2005)
Question: Why would the CIA be after Roger? They handle foreign problems. The FBI looks into alien and UFO sightings.
Answer: This series is hardly an accurate depiction of the real CIA (or FBI, for that matter); for example, Avery Bullock would never be deputy director given his mental instability, and Stan would have been fired many times over for his incompetence.
Answer: I always thought it was a play on words. They're harboring an alien, which could mean someone who isn't a citizen. But Roger is an outer space alien.

Supergirl (2015)
Question: Why did they move the show to Vancouver?
Answer: For one, it's usually cheaper to film in Vancouver because of the tax breaks. But all the CW Arrowverse shows (with the exception of "Black Lighting") are/were filmed in Vancouver. So it makes it easier and cheaper for sharing set designs, crossovers, etc ("Black Lightning" filmed in Vancouver during its crossover). Originally "Supergirl" wasn't part of the Arrowverse when it was on CBS, but it was too expensive to produce and wasn't reaching the wider audience the CW shows had. So CBS moved it to its sister company, The CW.

Supergirl (2015)
Question: Does Kat ever wise up again to Kara's secret? That and why did she (Flockhart) leave the show only to come back?
Answer: Yes, s02e22. As Kara leaves her office, she said "go get them, Supergirl" to herself. After season 1, the show switched from a CBS production to a CW production and filming moved from L.A. to Vancouver. Flockhart isn't really a fan of traveling to shoot, and didn't want to be away from her family for so long.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Question: When the TX tastes a sample of John Connor's blood at Kate's vet clinic she seems stunned. How is this possible on a cyborg and why look so surprised?
Answer: Advanced Terminators occasionally show signs of emotion: T-X also exhibits frustration, anger, and genuine malice, as well as smirking mischievously on two occasions. When she samples John Connor's blood, she's stunned to come across her primary target, whose whereabouts Skynet was unaware of.
Answer: Her goal/duty was to terminate John Connor. She must first find him in order to terminate him. Identifying John's blood - fresh blood, in fact - meant he was nearby and she was getting close to achieving her goal. This excited her. There was a stimulus and response, similar to Pavlov's dogs who salivated when they heard the bell indicating that food was coming.

The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
Factual error: The movie takes place in Corpus Christi, Texas located in Texas' southern section. Characters are shown speaking with heavy southern accents despite most real life residents sounding nothing like this.

Alien from L.A. (1988)
Continuity mistake: Wanda wears glasses at first, even acting like the type of person who'd be half blind without them. Yet once she loses them she sees perfectly.

Alien from L.A. (1988)
Character mistake: Kathy Ireland as Wanda speaks mostly in a slightly squeaky voice. But in one scene she uses her own regular voice.

Halloween (1978)
Continuity mistake: More than one mask is used at the movie's end. The black material covering Michael's eyes is gone as he's trying to strangle Laurie then back as Loomis shoots him. Clearly two masks were used.

Halloween (2007)
Other mistake: It can't have been 15 years since Michael's mother's suicide. Laurie was a baby, not a two year old toddler.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: You're forgetting to account for all the time that passes between the beginning of the film and when Michael's mother commits suicide. There's specifically a nearly year-long jump between the murders and the sequences of Michael's incarceration at Smith's Grove. (The movie says "Eleven Months Later.") And then even more time passes before Michael's mother commits suicide. (As evidenced by the fact we see changing weather/seasons outside as people arrive at Smith's Grove.) So Laurie (who was a baby that was probably around a year old at the start of the film) was indeed a toddler by the time Michael's mother committed suicide. So the timeline checks out.

Answer: He wouldn't have to sell the gold. He would keep it and become the new Fort Knox. He'd become the richest man in the world, worth billions, back in the 1960's, it was unheard of.
