Donnie Darko (2001)

Other mistake: Cherita has a speech impediment: instead of saying "shut up" she says "chut up." This is also reflected in the subtitles every time it happens EXCEPT at the bus stop, when it reads "shut up." (00:15:40)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: When Sallah lowers Indy into the Map Room, from the outside Sallah is standing near the bottom of the hole, but from the inside the rope hangs from near the top. (00:50:55)

King Kong (1933)

Revealing mistake: As the men walk past the downed stegosaurus, the camera moves faster than they do (judging from the background) but they stay at the center of the screen. Obviously the camera on the model of the stegosaurus moved faster than the camera on the men.

Starsky & Hutch (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Huggy Bear meets Starsky and Hutch in the alley to supply information, there is a closeup on his face as he sits in his car and just before he leaves. In this shot, it is very obvious that the facial hair on his cheek is attached with a glue strip. (00:27:55)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: On the mine conveyor, the guard pins Indy to the belt with his foot and his head toward the grinder. When Short Round tackles the Maharajah, we can see the guard on the conveyor, but he's facing the wrong way, both his feet are on the belt, and Indy is nowhere in sight. (01:31:30)

Never Been Kissed (1999)

Continuity mistake: When Josie meets the female teacher, the teacher complains about not taking her medication, waving her arms expressively. In the next shot of her and Josie, the teacher's arms are clasped in front of her. (00:16:15)

Dark City (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Hand pricks Emma's throat, the blood moves from the middle of her neck to just under her jawbone and changes shape between the closeup and the larger shot. (01:17:25)

The Shining (1980)

Trivia: The real Overlook Hotel (The Timberline Lodge) is near Portland, Oregon. It has no room 237 because the owners specifically requested the room number in the book, 217, be changed. They believed that after people saw the movie no one would want to stay in that room.

Happy Anniversary - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: When Wesley accidentally turns off the power, the room briefly goes dark, then lights up with moonlight/streetlight from outside. In the real world, that light would have been visible the whole time in the background. (00:01:45)

The Shroud Of Rahmon - S2-E8

Trivia: Cordelia and Wesley realize that the robbery is happening that night because the door latch is taped down - exactly the same way the guards at the Watergate Hotel realized a robbery was in progress in 1974, which led to President's Nixon's resignation. (00:27:20)
