Last Seen Alive (2022)

Revealing mistake: When Will got to Knuckles' and was walking past the driver's side window of his car after getting a crowbar out of his trunk, the instrument panel had one circle to represent the speedometer (similar to a clock) but no dial. (00:40:00)

Level 3 (2020)

Revealing mistake: Near the beginning of the movie, there does not appear to be a curtain (or window) on the left side of the screen (e.g, when Samantha is sitting on the couch), but there is near the end when Chloe enters the now-empty room. The use of a green screen seemed apparent throughout the movie. (00:04:19 - 01:23:04)

Reminiscence (2021)

Deliberate mistake: The angle of the light coming from the film projector (which was up high on the back wall) was too high to actually project onto the screen across the room. Also, people were standing in front of the screen and should have been blocking part of the projection and have light on their backs but did not. The screen operated more like a DVD player on a TV. (00:35:20)

Continuity mistake: The top of Brecken's head was close to (within a few inches of) the headboard before his mother brought the pillow. When his mother put the pillow over his face and the camera shifted to a right-side rear view, the upper part of the bed was raised about 45°. When Lang Dotrice (Brecken's father) arrived and sat on his bed, the pillow used to smother Brecken was at least a foot away from the headboard and Brecken's head (still under the pillow) was about a yard away from the headboard. (00:04:05 - 00:07:16)

The Lost City (2022)

Continuity mistake: The positions of the luggage on the roof rack change. After Channing Tatum stops the vehicle and Sandra Bullock has fallen out, the suitcase is at an angle to the lower right-hand corner of the roof rack and is touching the bag, which is raised lengthwise over the upper right-hand side. An aerial view after he exits the car shows the suitcase at an angle to the lower left-hand corner, no longer touching the bag, which is now widthwise, partly off the upper right-hand corner. (00:39:12 - 00:39:33)

Trivia: * "Quasi-Spoiler" * The mental or nutritional disorder wherein a person [or some animals, including dogs] eats/craves substances or objects that are not usually deemed to be "food" (or edible) is called "Pica." The word "Pica" is derived from ancient Latin and the bird "Magpie." Magpies have a reputation for eating almost anything/everything they can find, or have "indiscriminate tastes" and habits. Brecken, in this future world scenario, probably would not be diagnosed as having Pica. (00:03:28)

Paradise Cove (2021)

Revealing mistake: When Knox pulls up behind the parked BMW, the BMW's red tail light reflectors are not real (and maybe the car isn't, either). The reflector on the right side, in particular, is not fully connected to the car. (00:03:55)

The Black Phone (2021)

Revealing mistake: When Finney is looking for the bike lock's combination written on the wall, the distance between the mattress and that wall (several feet) can be seen. However, the next time Finney wakes up on the mattress, the mattress is against or almost touching the corner, but the mattress was not that close to the adjacent wall. Furthermore, when the Black Phone rings, the mattress is the same distance from the phone as it originally was (which would be several feet away from the wall). (01:04:59 - 01:10:53)

The Black Phone (2021)

Stupidity: Grabber made the basement room soundproof but failed to adequately cover the ground-level window so that nobody could see into the room. (00:35:15)

The Black Phone (2021)

Other mistake: After Finney got off the mattress, he was walking in the dark (at least a few steps). The screen went completely black, but Finney - who had not been in that basement before - was able to reach up and pull the cord to turn on the bathroom ceiling light. (00:29:50)

The Black Phone (2021)

Revealing mistake: The angles of the adjacent walls are not always accurate given the relative position of the mattress on the floor. The mattress is perpendicular to the wall where the Black Phone is attached and at least a few feet away from the adjacent wall. However, when there's a side view of Finney with a front view of the Grabber (about to get up), the wall behind them should be parallel to the mattress but is at an angle. [The position of the mattress in relation to the walls can be seen later.]. (00:29:10 - 00:30:28)

The Black Phone (2021)

Continuity mistake: The length of the Black Phone's cord changes. The cord that could be seen between the Grabber and Finney was relatively short and had a wide loop at the bottom. When Finney came back from the bathroom, the cord was hanging down about twice as far and the loop was not as wide, making most of the cord look linear. Also, the cut telephone line was barely discernible against the dirty/marred wall but was obvious after Finney tried to use the phone. (00:28:50 - 00:30:21)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: When the (imposter) female security guard was lying on the floor with her head slightly raised and shot herself, the gun was about parallel to the floor; the blood splatter should not end up primarily mid-way up the wall like it did. The floor-level view of the dead guard shows a reduced-size wall so that the blood splatter looks much closer to the floor than it was. Also, at least some blood should be visible on the guard's temple but none was. (00:35:40)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The position of the dead (imposter) security guard's head over the barbell changes. When Gus says, "Jesus, he's dead", the security guard's neck is over the barbell rail, the top of his head is touching the floor, and his face is toward the front of the screen. When the camera goes to the opposite side of the dead guard, his head and neck are raised (and apparently no longer being supported by the barbell - or anything else). (00:28:28)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: When the (imposter) security guard threw the barbell and smashed the mirror, the mirror appeared to shatter just before impact. (00:28:05)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Alpha was standing at an angle to the senator when he shot him in the forehead, but the bullet hole was not angled as would be expected. Alpha was also holding his gun slightly upward when aiming at the senator's forehead, but the majority of the (odd-shaped) blood splatter behind him was near the back of his neck instead of higher. All blood splatter went behind the senator, but some should have been in front. (00:21:05)

Revealing mistake: After the kids take their seats at the game, the people behind them change, indicating the use of a green screen. (00:13:00)

Continuity mistake: When King Cobra was wearing the medallion, the rope was different - more like leather or suede. The stone also looked green instead of blue. (00:41:10)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: When Billy pulled the medallion out of the ground, part of the cloth covering it was hanging past his hand, but when he blew dirt off the cloth, the cloth was compactly covering the medallion. Also, the cloth should have had more than some loose dirt on it and the medallion - after buried in the ground for 200 years - should have been dirty and tarnished, not clean. (A cloth covering the medallion would not protect it from soaking rains). (00:23:35)

White Elephant (2022)

Continuity mistake: The laceration on Carlo's upper right arm was about half-way between his elbow and shoulder, but he placed the bandage higher (closer to his shoulder). Thereafter, the bandage was about mid-point where it should have been. (00:28:14)
