Top Gun (1986)
Corrected entry: In the bathroom, Charlie has a tube of lipstick, next cut it's gone.
Correction: You can't say "next cut it's gone" because it's simply not true. When Charlie is holding her lipstick tube it cuts to 3 consecutive closeups, which last approximately 30 seconds, where we don't even see her arms or hands. Plenty of time for Charlie to simply tuck her lipstick into her pocket, while her arms are offscreen.
Plot hole: Elizabeth goes to drop the medallion over the side of the Pearl. Barbossa and the crew gasp and take a step forward revealing they want/need the medallion thus giving Elizabeth the upper hand in the negotiations. Why not let the medallion drop into the water below the Pearl and simply "take a walk" to get the medallion off the ocean floor? The crew can walk under water as shown later in the film so this shouldn't be an issue. (00:38:15)

Suggested correction: Why not "simply take a walk" to retrieve that medallion? They have spent many years trying to find this bit of precious gold. If it's dropped, the underwater currents will most certainly carry it away, and if they walk underwater their feet will kick up the seabed making it even more difficult to locate. These cursed pirates have finally found their last missing piece, which would once and for all end their miserable curse, so they will not risk it being dropped into the sea.
Suggested correction: They only got startled from the idea, not realizing yet they could reclaim it easily, they are so close after all. Barbossa is not pleading to her, and they were hardly negotiating, Elizabeth was even only demanding they leave, nothing yet about the gold. All the scene does is give the dialogue needed for them to think her name is Turner, so they would keep her onboard and not just the gold. It's not an important part of the plot that they let her think she has the upper hand, if at all.

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Continuity mistake: When Annabelle gives Frederick her gun, he places it in the mini-coffin and closes the coffin. However, in one of the next shots, we see that all coffins are open.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It's not "in one of the next shots" it's actually many shots later, so anyone could have touched that mini coffin for any reason during the time off-screen. After Frederick closes the top of the mini coffin, it cuts to the scene upstairs with Nora and the missing severed head. Then a considerable period of time has passed until we see the mini coffins again, when Lance walks into that room and sees Pritchard with the knife.

Emergency! (1972)
Corrected entry: Stoker prematurely plots 617 Kimble Road on the map as the dispatcher is barely starting to say the address. Then the squad leads in the departure from the station, but when the squad arrives to the above dispatched location the engine is already finished with the dumpster fire.
Correction: First part of the mistake is already noted in another mistake, and second part is incorrect. Rewatch the scene, please. The Engine and Squad are dispatched to 617-1/2 Kimball for an unknown type rescue, and Squad leads. At the destination, Captain Stanley walks to the front door and rings the bell, while off camera Roy and Johnny get rescue gear and join Stanley at the front door. Dispatch then sends the Engine to a trash container fire at Farber/Wilmington, while Roy and Johnny's Squad stays with the current rescue involving dieffenbachia. After they're done, the Squad joins the Engine.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
Corrected entry: When Martin meets his parents in their house, the door is split and closes in the middle with a screen. In the next shot, it is a full door without a screen.
Correction: As seen from the exterior, the outer door is a very wide screen door with its handle to the left and hinges at the right. Behind the screen door are two solid doors which swing open inward from the center. Notice the wide screen door is the door Martin bangs on when his father closes the solid double doors (with individual doorknobs), and later in the episode when Martin's mother walks outside we see her push open the screen door.

The Dropout (2022)
Corrected entry: When Elizabeth comes home and calls for her boyfriend, whose name is Sunny, she calls him Tyler instead.
Correction: When Elizabeth walks into the house she lets Sunny know she's home by calling out, "Hey, Tiger," which refers back to Sunny's earlier aggressiveness at the office.

Kill Chain - S11-E12
Corrected entry: Ellie Bishop introduces herself to Delilah as Emily Bishop in the elevator scene. Her name's Eleanor in the series, but the actress' real name is Emily. She used her real first name in the scene.
Correction: Ellie correctly says, "I'm Ellie Bishop," when she introduces herself to Delilah. I slowed the speed down to 0.5x to confirm.

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: When McGee is doing the run down on Staff Sergeant Cryer, the file on screen shows McGee's lines. (00:07:25)
Correction: It's not the actor's "lines" that are printed on that page, McGee is simply reading aloud Cryer's DOD Duty Specs.

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: When Tony and Ziva are talking to Layla, you can see a random hand come into shot to hold Amira's hand. (00:28:52)
Correction: That is Leyla's left hand we see, not a random hand.
1st Jun 2016
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: When Ziva signs the will, she signs it with her real name - "Cote" is visible.
Correction: No. We see in the closeup Ziva David writing her name, and the shot cuts away just as she starts to write the last "d" in David (timecode 00:28:00).

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: At the very start as the woman walks round the car a boom mic dips into view. (00:00:05)
Correction: Please rewatch this scene. It's not a boom mic, it's the vehicle's antenna topper.
10th Oct 2011
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: In "Twilight," right after Ari shoots Kate in the head, he says, "Sorry Kate." But in the beginning of the first episode of season 3 ("Kill Ari, Part 1"), when it again shows Kate being shot in the head, he says "Sorry Katelyn."
Correction: Ari says, "Sorry, Caitlin" in both episodes.

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Corrected entry: When Gibbs is talking to woman who is brushing her shoes off, she is brushing her left foot. Camera goes to a close up of the foot and it's her right foot she is brushing down. (00:24:30)
Correction: These shots are not consecutive, there are two other shots in between. First there's a wide shot of Lieutenant Commander Coleman brushing off the bottom of her left shoe. The second is a closeup of Gibbs, and third shot is a closeup of Coleman's face. Then, the fourth shot is a closeup of Coleman brushing off the bottom of her right shoe. While Coleman's body is offscreen there's ample time for her to switch her crossed legs.

Men in Black II (2002)
Corrected entry: The opening of the film says it takes place in July 2002, but when we first see Will Smith you can see the World Trade Center in the background which had been destroyed ten months before. [The film was made before the 9/11 attacks, and the towers were left in as a sign of respect - still a mistake, but there's the reason.] (00:03:25 - 00:06:45)
Correction: That isn't the world trade center, Those are the XYZ buildings in New York City, a part of Rockefeller Center.
Correction: To add to the other correction about the "XYZ" buildings, there's another visual point of reference to their location in the City. When Will is thrown into the air and lands on the produce, across the street behind him is the 6th Ave entrance to the Comcast building (where Fallon tapes the Tonight Show for example), which is up the block from Radio City Music Hall, at Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan. The World Trade Center complex is (and was) located in Lower Manhattan, by the West Side Highway.
Correction: Not only is that not the WTC, they specifically reshot and edited scenes to remove the twin towers. The exact opposite of your claim that they left them in as a "sign of respect."

Onward (2020)
Corrected entry: When Officer Bronco discovers the bumper to the van on the path he drives on the path without moving or running over the bumper.
Correction: After the bumper's closeup Colt steps on the gas pedal, and when he turns onto the Path of Peril we can see Colt drive to the left (viewer's left) of the bumper, then drives over some rocks on this rocky path. Colt did not need to move the bumper or run over it, he merely drove around it.

Toy Story 3 (2010)
Corrected entry: When Woody is escaping through the bathroom stall window, he climbs up the stall on the same side as the janitor's right shoulder, but he climbs out in the mirror image on the janitor's left shoulder. You can also see the smudge is on his left shoulder. He escaped on the opposite side of the stall to which he climbed up.
Correction: Please rewatch this scene. There are two stalls, one with the door closed and one with the door open, which is the stall with the window and Woody. There are also two shots where Woody has his foot stretched across to the window (sill). The first shot in the POV from behind the sink, is facing the janitor and Woody. The second shot is from behind the janitor's back, facing the mirror, and this shot zooms in at an angle to show the reflection of Woody and then the mirror's smudge. Woody is positioned correctly and standing in the proper place in both shots.

Apollo 13 (1995)
Corrected entry: The small torch handed to Thomas K. Mattingly (played by Gary Sinise) as he first gets into simulator looks to be a modern Mini MagLite. They didn't come on sale until 1984.
Correction: We never actually see Ken being given the flashlight he'll be using in the simulations, only that he insists on being given precisely the same things the astronauts have aboard with them, and that is what he uses. That aside, what we see in the film are not Mini Maglites, though they are indeed miniature flashlights known as the Apollo astronaut penlight, model FA-5. Right after Jim tells Jack about the urine bags, there's a nice closeup of Fred holding one, with its distinctive bulb end casing.
I happily stand corrected. Thanks for improving my trivia :).
Correction: It is not "a few moments later" between those scenes. During Charlie's review of Maverick's flight performance Maverick is wearing his uniform, and Charlie is wearing a polo top with a light colored shirt (00:51:30). Then sufficient time has gone by because in the next scene (00:52:30) when Charlie is trying to get Maverick to listen to her, both are dressed differently, Maverick is now wearing his civilian clothes, and Charlie is now wearing a different blouse and a black skirt.
