Superman II (1980)

Revealing mistake: When Zod says to Ursa to "blow them a kiss my dear" to the helicopter that's firing on them watch as the helicopter is indeed a real military helicopter, then when it loses control it's an obvious model and just before it crashes into the house it's a full size helicopter again but is completely different from the first one that was originally shown.

The Simpsons (1989)

Question: There is one thing that bothered me at the end of the movie. When the two police investigators are killed and the narrator says that the case is still open why didn't the authorities (police, FBI and so on), descend on that area and try to catch Leatherface? He just killed two police officers among other people and they are just going to leave it as an open case?

Tobin OReilly

Chosen answer: What makes you think they didn't? They obviously just never caught him.

Cheers (1982)

The Bartender's Tale - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: When Frasier comes into the chalet after skiing he doesn't show any of the visible effects after a hard day on the slopes. Meaning, his face isn't even flushed from the cold, his hair is perfectly combed after wearing a hat and there is not even a drop of snow on his boots.

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Trivia: The mall the survivors are in is called the Crossroads mall. This seems fitting since humanity is at a crossroads in the film flirting between survival and extinction.

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Question: How did they know which boat to find at the docks? I don't remember the guy whose boat it was telling them which one was his.

Tobin OReilly

Chosen answer: Steve (the guy with the boat) probably either had the name of the boat on the key ring floater or told them at some point during the bus-fixing montage.

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Trivia: During the movie there are parts especially outside where an orangy tint comes over the screen. This is an homage to the 1978 version of Dawn of the Dead, which was shot in this type of hue.

Mr. Wrong (1996)

Revealing mistake: When Martha is in her office and the phone rings, when the camera shows the phone, no line is lighting up, yet when she picks up the phone everything is normal and the phone conversation starts. Having owned one of these phones, first of all since they are multi-line phones when a light is flashing green that means an incoming call and a solid red means a line is being used but none of this stuff shows up in the scene. Second of all, the secretary earlier on in the movie says she has a call on line two, therefore proving she has more than one line on the phone.

Question: What is the name of the song that plays at the end of the movie just before it goes to credits?

Death Is a Bitch - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Peter enters the cockpit and accidentally kills the pilots the cockpit looks small enough so that it could only fit Peter and the pilots in their seats. However, when he turns around to leave the cockpit looks big enough to fit an entire group of people.

Hope and Glory (1987)

Question: What is the deal with Mac? Why isn't he in the Armed Services like a majority of the other men in England?

Tobin OReilly

Chosen answer: He could have flat feet or a bad back or many other problems which don't really inconvenience him but make him ineligible for service.

Ransom (1996)

Revealing mistake: Towards the end of the film when Gary Sinese shoots the guys in the white van, when he shoots the bald guy, as he falls out the door you can see the squib vest protrude from under his shirt.
