House, M.D. (2004)

Role Model - S1-E17

Question: Could the woman going to her ex's while in a sleepwalking state and having sex with him have him arrested?

Answer: She could if her ex knew she had this condition and she was at that time in an incapacitated or altered mental state where she could not knowingly give consent to any sexual activity. She would, however, have to prove that she was sleepwalking at the time.

Rocky V (1990)

Question: Is Duke supposed to be Don King?

Answer: Yes, it was a variation of him.

Justice League (2017)

Question: Why did the filmmakers pick Cyborg instead of Green Lantern?

Answer: To start, oftentimes it's hard to establish a Green Lantern character without establishing a vast "universe." You have the Green Lantern Corp filled with thousands of aliens from across the galaxy, the Guardians, a power ring that creates virtually anything, etc. It's easier to do this in animation over live-action. Ryan Reynolds' "Green Lantern" film underperformed and future projects were scrapped, failing to set-up a Green Lantern universe. So when Warner Bros. Set up the DCEU, they went with Superman (from the "Man of Steel" film). After DC's "New 52", Cyborg became a founding member of the Justice League (along with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern). So it's not that film makers replaced Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) with Cyborg, they simply left Green Lantern out.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Question: Why does Wonder Woman need the armor?

Answer: When Barbara Minerva wished to be just like Diana, she was granted the same strength and powers as Wonder Woman. Barbara additionally became less humane and even more powerful and dangerous after morphing into "Cheetah." Diana needed the armor to outmatch and defeat Barbara. She was also expecting to fight a multitude of soldiers to get to Max. The armor was originally Asteria's, who needed the extra protection when she battled an army to save the other Amazons.

Jennifer's Body (2009)

Continuity mistake: When Needy floats up to her cell's window she's in an orange prison uniform. Yet when she's broken out, storming across the grounds she's suddenly gained a sleeveless hoodie.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)

Question: How many members were there of the Crazy 88's?

Answer: It's never specified, but 40 actors were credited with being members.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

Question: Does the song The Darkest Side of the Night have anything to do with the movie?

Answer: It's hard to find information about the song online. From what I can gather, I believe the song was written for the film, and a few of the lyrics do seem to have imagery that's reminiscent of the film... but I don't think the song is "about" the film itself.

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

Question: Did John Carpenter not have The Street Thunder talk for a reason?

5th Jan 2021

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: When Natalie's fighting with Harold's cousin on the roof she loses her shoes. A shot later, and they're back on her feet.

5th Jan 2021

Suicide Squad (2016)

Question: How come The Joker's not affected when he jumps into the vat with Quinn?

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

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.

23rd Dec 2020

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Daredevil - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: During the fight with Harold's cousin Natalie's shoes are on and off her feet several times.

23rd Dec 2020

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.

23rd Dec 2020

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.

18th Dec 2020

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)

Eternal Youth - S1-E16

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

18th Dec 2020

I Love Lucy (1951)

Job Switching - S2-E4

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.

Answer: It's a comedy show from the 1950s. Slapstick, over the top humor, and silly situations were typical of the era. Characters were written to behave in unrealistic or illogical ways purely for comic effect.

17th Dec 2020

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.

16th Dec 2020

Beethoven (1992)

Question: Maybe I'm ignorant but shouldn't all those injections of various drugs Dr Varnick gets in the chest kill him?

Answer: It appears he only gets pierced by the needles. The plungers aren't pressed, so he isn't injected with their contents.

11th Dec 2020

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the T.V. Star - S2-E12

Plot hole: Unless I missed something, the killer didn't wipe his prints off the knife he used to kill his ex-wife.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: We never actually saw him commit the murder, so there's no way of knowing what he did or didn't do. The "re-enactment" was just Monk's summation and not the actual murder scene.
