Alphas (2010)

Pilot - S1-E1

Factual error: When is the team watching the surveillance footage of the man being shot in the police station, the video suddenly goes out from the laptop. Gary explains later as he fixes it that it was the VGA port however when we see the back of the TV, there was no VGA cable hooked up, just some standard RCA cables.

Alphas (2010)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the team is on the rooftop examining the bullet path of the sniper, there is a man on an adjacent rooftop taking photos. The pictures on the camera are slightly different than the people he's shooting such as the position of the people and a brown sign seen in the first two pictures above the blue door behind them.

Factual error: Throughout the movie, we see various shots of the Ripley computer system with some sort of fog being pumped around the circuit boards inside. Presuming that this might even be a coolant of some sort, the way in which its being directed and not dispersed would create moisture on the electronics and easily short circuit things.

Factual error: We see Will using a gummy fruit to lift off a fingerprint from a can to then use on the fingerprint reader. This would not be possible due to the fact that the reader used relies on optics to read the ridges on a finger, something the gummy could not reproduce.

Factual error: TSA regulations strictly prohibit passengers from leaving an airplane once they have boarded, regardless if the doors are still open, except during an emergency situation. However, Dennis was permitted to leave to look for Will.

Continuity mistake: When Hand first starts driving the car to hit Debbie, a large metal ring that had been on the hood following the house explosion is no longer there.

Continuity mistake: When Lewis and Gilbert pass over the couple with their trunk - there are 2 people sitting up in the sun who are wearing red shirts. However, when they first arrive in their car with the trunk there were 3 sitting in that same place, now in the shade.

Plot hole: When Will is on the airplane talking to his mom, there's a knock at her front door and she says, "There are men in suits here". However, when we see her open the front door, it's covered in thick frosted glass which would make it impossible for her to determine what the people were wearing.

White Chicks (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Latrell first puts the drinks on the table in front of them, they appear to be two feet apart. However, in the next shot the drinks are only a few inches apart.

White Chicks (2004)

Plot hole: Given that the FBI was constantly monitoring the Wilson sister's room with a camera outside the door, they would have seen Kevin leaving the room dressed as himself and recognized him.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: When the ship crashes into the dock, all of the scenes leading up to the crash and after it show a clear view across the harbor as we can see lights and land on the other side. It's not until the ship is about to crash that a thick and dense fog appears and disappears within a minute to mask the ship to create a more dramatic effect.

Other mistake: The type of pan George uses to make eggs is far more modern a design than when the movie is supposed to take place in the late 70's.

Revealing mistake: During the highway scene with the black GMC Decepticons chasing the Autobots, a number of civilian cars are flipped. If you look at the underside of a few of the cars, you can see the hole they use to launch a post to help flip the vehicle for the stunt. A brief puff of white smoke can also be seen on a Toyota Camry which is from the CO2 used to launch the post during the flip.

Alien (1979)

Continuity mistake: When Dallas uses the pen to catch the acid, it melts the back of the pen to the point that it's deformed and smoking. When he hands the pen back to Brett, the back of the pen is no longer deformed at all but it's still smoking.

2012 (2009)

Continuity mistake: When the door opens on the ark to let the mass of people in, there is a large yellow arm that starts to close in on Jackson and his family. The tunnel that his son is pushed into last minute had a large metal door open on it that instantly disappears like it was never there when the arm passes the opening.

Wayne's World (1992)

Continuity mistake: When Garth is holding the air ratchet gun, he's facing to the left. However every time the camera shot goes back to Wayne, Garth is in the background instantly facing the car. Then when it cuts back to Garth, he's turned 90 degrees again.

Factual error: When the kids are putting firecrackers in the duct system, we see them flying around the aliens exploding. However the fireworks that were used were not the type with propellants on them and therefore would not fly around.

Shallow Hal (2001)

Continuity mistake: After Mauricio hits his head after explaining to Hal about being beat up in gym class, some of his shake-on hair becomes dislodged, leaving five or so bald spots on the back of his head. In the very next shot from the back, the bald spots are filled in again.

Shallow Hal (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Rosemary gets into Mauricio's VW at the end, the car drops down rather significantly (for comedic effect). However when Li'iBoy (who is heavier than Rosemary) and Ralph were in the right side of the car when it pulled up to the house, it wasn't leaning at all.

Continuity mistake: Towards the end when the one villager calls for Andromeda to be sacrificed, the sun is behind him shining through the scaffold they built to hold the princess. However when the camera angle changes to behind the guy - the sun is gone.
