Revealing mistake: Watch when young Charles meets young Raven. Look closely and you can see the zipper on the child actress' costume.

Character mistake: Tony, as a cop, should've known to cuff Rose's hands behind her back. He also apparently doesn't cuff Harriet properly as she's left outside with them dangling from one wrist.

Continuity mistake: When the dead biker is loaded into the squad car her head's leaning back, mouth open. A shot later and suddenly her head's turned to the right, mouth closed.

Rob245

Continuity mistake: For some strange reason Melanie changes clothes prior to chasing Jake to the bar where he's on a date.

The Gorgon (1964)

Question: Why on one DVD cover for this did they remove the axe Harriet's holding behind her back?

Rob245

Answer: The version without the axe is the original version. It was a later version that "shopped" in the weapon, presumably to even up the picture and mirror the fact that Charlie has something behind his back. Technically, the axe version doesn't even make sense since Harriet is not, in fact, an axe murderer.

Black Christmas (2006)

Question: How does anyone know Billy's story? He doesn't seem like he'd tell anyone.

Rob245

Answer: I always thought that the cops put two and two together and then this became the stuff of legend.

The Proposal (2009)

Question: Just how could she rise up so high in a publishing house way before this citizenship problem began? Clearly she took maybe ten years or so to achieve this, so how is this possible without the immigration problem beforehand?

Rob245

Answer: Margaret's visa apparently expired and she had failed to get it renewed, so she was being deported to Canada.

Carrie (2013)

Question: Does Carrie's mother in any of the versions (mainly this one) truly love her? I mean she's nuts but surely wouldn't it be possible for her to love her daughter?

Rob245

Answer: In her own twisted and demented way, she did love Carrie and believed everything she did to her was to protect or cleanse her of sin.

Question: Just how did Charles explain Raven showing up when they were kids to his parents? What could he think up and why would they even adopt her, maybe they only wanted one child?

Rob245

Answer: It is never explained, but the speed and confidence in which Charles offers his home to Raven suggests that all Charles would have to do is ask his parents if Raven could stay and they would allow it. Why this is the case is again, not explained but it could certainly have something to do with his powers. He could influence his parents to allow Raven to stay quite easily with his telepathic abilities.

Superman II (1980)

Question: This was in the Richard Donner cut: Why does Lois want to expose Superman's identity? That and why doesn't she think it through? She's risking the safety of his family after all.

Rob245

Answer: Like many reporters, she feels she has an obligation (and the right) to uncover the facts, even though it could potentially cause harm.

raywest

Answer: I never got the impression that she wanted to expose him, more that she just wanted him to admit it to her. Even if he had turned into Superman when she jumped out of the window, no one would have seen that, and she could have kept his secret.

The Other Sister (1999)

Continuity mistake: When Carla's parents are speaking to the doctor he's wearing his glasses. A shot behind him and he's suddenly not. Then a front shot and he's got them back on.

Rob245

Stupidity: It seems dumb that Mr. Freeze takes part in the Arkham plot given he said when Shredder and Ra's walked through he wanted no part of anything, but when Joker frees everyone he joins in.

Below the Belt (1980)

Stupidity: The celebration of Rosa beating Tommy in the world title match seems pointless as she got knocked out, Rosa didn't pin her, thus she didn't become the champion.

Rob245

Question: How much were Romijn and Jackman paid for their cameos?

Rob245

Answer: As for Hugh Jackman, his reported salary was $500,000.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Answer: Yes, this is a thinly veiled jab at X-Men: The Last Stand. That film had a notably poor reception among fans and critics and at that point was generally considered the worst of the X-Men films. Ironically, X-Men: Apocalypse was also poorly received and is technically the 3rd film in the "First Class" series.

BaconIsMyBFF

Answer: She's not making a joke. Sequels are often criticized because the more that are made from an original movie, the greater the decline in the quality. The scripts are often repetitive and unoriginal, and the purpose seems to be only to make as much money as possible with the least amount of creativity or effort.

Dark Phoenix (2019)

Question: Did Raven ever love Charles? They seemingly teased something like this in First Class so I'm merely curious.

Rob245

Answer: Yes, during the events of First Class it is clear that Raven harbors romantic feelings for Charles, though Charles himself views the relationship as platonic. After meeting Erik, Raven's romantic affections seem to shift to him and Raven views Charles as an adoptive brother. This inadvertently causes something of a rivalry between Erik and Charles when Raven decides to leave with Erik. In Days of Future Past Charles' behavior seems to suggest some romantic feelings for Raven, with Charles expressing jealousy of Erik's relationship with Raven. By the time of Apocalypse, Charles and Raven once again seem to have a strictly platonic relationship which remains in place through Dark Phoenix.

Suggested correction: This isn't really so much a mistake as it was a character tweaking, which happens often in TV series.

The Gorgon (1964)

Other mistake: There were no gorgons named Megara. The three that existed were Medusa, Euryale, and Stheno.

Mr. Deeds (2002)

Question: This is a two-part question: 1. How does Winona Ryder get hold of the journal of Sandler's uncle? 2. Why'd she dye her hair?

Rob245

Answer: Babe Bennett stole Preston Blake's journal from Longfellow Deeds. As for why she dyed her hair, it was probably part of her disguise. She was a TV journalist pretending to be someone else (as Pam Dawson) so she could get a story on Longfellow.
