Jurassic Park (1993)

Visible crew/equipment: When Dr. Grant discovers the eggs in the wild, the camera comes down a tad bit too far. The operator obviously notices because the shadow of the camera creeps in along with the shadow of wires attached to it. To correct this, the shot pans up a bit.

Heathers (1988)

Continuity mistake: Near the end, Annie and Walter go to a restaurant with a view of the Empire State Building. It is very cloudy, dark and grey in this shot. Just prior to this, Jonah is atop the Empire State Building and it is relatively clear. Later when Sam comes into New York it's cloudless again.

Loki (2021)

Trivia: Subtle detail, the cans of soda at TVA always have the label facing the camera. What are they? Josta, an energy drink that actually existed in the 90s but is now defunct. It was made by Pepsi. Why is it in the show? Showrunner Michael Waldron says Mobius has it because he "can go anywhere," and likely ran into a timeline where it existed. Waldron, however didn't say for sure there was a foolproof reason Mobius drinks it, but he's pleased fans noticed it.

Thomas passed away in 2014. His lines were pieced together from the first film. Ray came out of retirement to voice the role. They even use their signature line from the show "don't drive like my brother."

Quantum Leap (1989)

The Leap Home (1) - November 25, 1969 - S3-E1

Trivia: Sam's childhood home is Ray and Annie's farmhouse from the movie Field of Dreams, complete with the front porch swing. In another shot showing morning on the farm, the baseball field from the film is visible. Both the television show and film were distributed by Universal Pictures, so it's likely the show had access to unused footage from the film.

Trivia: According to the script, Beth really does feel Al dance with her briefly before he leaps, even though he is a hologram. She says his name after he leaps out as an acknowledgement that she knew he was there. This is one of the few episodes we see Al leap instead of Sam.
