Deliberate mistake: The version of Earth that our main characters spend the story trapped in, is one individual second in the past that is identical to Earth in every way, with the only exceptions being there is no life or power. The Langoliers consume all the land in this one second and the remnants fall into a huge abyss. However, if this were like Earth, there should be thousands upon thousands of miles of soil beneath the land, but this is ignored for the sake of the plot.

The Langoliers (1995)
Suggested correction: It is assumed that the Langoliers ate everything below that point to the Earth's core too.

The Langoliers (1995)
Revealing mistake: When everyone goes up to the second floor on the escalator, behind them outside through the glass doors you can see people walking about. (01:09:10)
Suggested correction: I have rewatched this scene and saw no people.

Clue (1985)
Character mistake: During the conversation in the study about who is blackmailing who, Mrs. White mentions two of her five husbands: An illusionist who disappeared and never reappeared and a nuclear physicist who was found dead at home. During the last ending, Mrs. White says "So this has nothing to do with the disappearance of my nuclear physicist husband or Colonel Mustard's work on the new top secret fusion bomb?". However, during the conversation in the study, Mrs. White says her illusionist husband had disappeared and her nuclear physicist husband was found dead at home. So the correct term would be "So this has nothing to do with the disappearance of my ILLUSIONIST husband or Colonel Mustard's work on the new top secret fusion bomb?". (00:21:05 - 01:27:35)
Suggested correction: Ms. White's nuclear physicist husband disappeared too, so the line is right.
