Superman (1978)
Question: Why, in the 3 hour TV version of the movie, does Luthor waste time on that elaborate trap if he already knows, from reading Lois' interview, that bullets, fire, and cold won't stop Superman?
Answer: He wanted to see for himself if the stories were true. Some reporters tend to exaggerate the facts and if he had any other weaknesses. He couldn't be sure the kryptonite would work.
While I don't exactly disagree that Lex wanted to see for himself how invincible Superman is, I don't think that's the main reason why he did it. The bullets and fire were simply a charade to make it look like this was his security system. Keep in mind, he wanted Superman to enter his lair because the real trap was the Kryptonite that he had in the lead box.

Secretary (2002)
Other mistake: Unless there's something I'm missing, Lee, while sitting in that chair peeing, it couldn't possibly go down the side to her left. It'd go down the front.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7
Revealing mistake: Watch as Natalie fights with Harold's cousin on the roof. The same shot where she's barefoot, she's also got thicker hair, indicating a wig on a stunt double.

Justice League (2001)
Starcrossed - S2-E24
Question: Why did the Thanagarians have to take over? If they were having problems with another planet why not ask the Justice League for help?
Answer: They're a warrior race, when something gets in your way, you either ignore it or smash it to pieces.

Stupidity: Alfred should've recognized Poison Ivy having seen her before, such as in the episode Pretty Poison.

I Love Lucy (1951)
Question: Why would Ethel do a silly thing as pinching chocolates to see what kind they were? Surely she'd realise this wasn't a good idea.

Joker (2019)
Question: What mental illness does Arthur's mother suffer from, if any? That, and why claim Arthur was Wayne's son if he wasn't?
Answer: It isn't exactly specified in the film what illness she suffers from but she definitely appears to be schizophrenic. This would also explain why she claimed Arthur was Wayne's son.

Desert Hearts (1985)
Plot hole: It's never explained why Frances Parker would be upset about Cay pursuing Vivian. She knows she's gay, but we're never told why she's mad.

The Punisher (2004)
Question: Why didn't they have Jigsaw as the villain since he's one of The Punisher's better known enemies?
Answer: They were actually planning on using Jigsaw as the villain in the sequel until Thomas Jane and director Jonathan Hensleigh exited the project and the studio rebooted the character with Punisher: War Zone. They probably just wanted to show the Punisher's origin first, which would allow him to be fully established by the time a sequel came around, and they would have more to screen time to establish Jigsaw.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
Character mistake: Given Billy still remembered and recognized him it seems strange Kate doesn't when she mistakes Daffy for Gizmo.

Suggested correction: Billy spent significantly more time bonding with Gizmo in the first movie - days and days. By contrast Kate had very little actual time with him.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Continuity mistake: Diana has brown eyes. The flashbacks showing her training have her with blue eyes.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It is possible for normal humans eyes to change color. Seems reasonable that an Amazonian's eye color could change.
Eye color stabilizes within three years of birth. Most often, however, in the first weeks or months of life, and only by light-eyed ones. With age, the eye only changes hue - for example, from light brown to dark brown, etc. In the film, little Diana is already too old to change the color of her eyes - it's a mistake in the film.
Diana is not human and therefore we have no idea what their bodies do. Eyes changing color could happen later on in life for them due to their slower ageing process or something. Unless it is stated in the movie that their eyes don't change (and it isn't stated)...this isn't a mistake.
Well I didn't know that.Thank you friend.

Frasier (1993)
Question: Did they ever hint on this show or Cheers that Lilith was Jewish, before this episode?
Answer: Yes they did hint at it, but her religion was down played because they didn't want that to define her character. But besides the "Cheers" episode mentioned, s10e06 of "Frasier", "Star Mitzvah", is about their son Fredrick's bar mitzvah. Typically under Jewish law, a child is considered Jewish if his or her mother is Jewish (and we know Frasier isn't Jewish). It should also be noted that Lilith is a figure in Jewish mythology and considered to be the first wife of Adam.
Answer: Yes. The 'Cheers' episode 'For Real Men Only,' deals with infant Frederick's bris (ritual circumcision).

Answer: Because he's already been into the liquid, it's how he became the Joker. He wanted Harley to be just like him.
