Revealing mistake: When Bruce is hijacking the old woman's car, what he is pulling out of the driver's seat is obviously a stiff, non-moving dummy. (00:57:35)

My Name Is Bruce (2007)
Visible crew/equipment: When Bruce returns to his trailer after running away, you can see the entire film crew reflected in the shiny side of the trailer. (01:01:05)

My Name Is Bruce (2007)
Revealing mistake: When the dark-haired kid's hand gets cut off, no blood is ever seen spurting from the stump. (00:07:25)
12th Jul 2010
My Name Is Bruce (2007)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Jeff and his friend are having an argument about movies. As Jeff says "Yeah, so what", he is staring ahead, even turning his head slightly away from his friend. When the camera cuts to a wider angle, he is looking directly at his friend. (00:02:35)

My Name Is Bruce (2007)
Trivia: Jeff drives an Oldsmobile similar to the one owned by Sam Raimi, which Bruce Campbell drove in "Evil Dead" and "Army of Darkness". When Bruce is locked in the trunk, he even finds a Fangoria magazine, which was also shown to be in the trunk in "Army of Darkness".
12th Jul 2010
My Name Is Bruce (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Jeff and the dark-haired kid are talking in the car, the little disco ball hanging from the rear-view mirror varies between swinging very gently and swinging with large, rapid movements, without anyone touching it. This is especially noticeable in close-ups, when Jeff is shown, the ball is moving violently, when the camera is on his friend the ball is barely moving. (00:01:50)

My Name Is Bruce (2007)
Trivia: The large guy who says the town should have rather kidnapped the blacksmith from "Army of Darkness", is played by Timothy Patrick Quill, who also played the blacksmith in question.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
Continuity mistake: In the start of the film, Smith is seen to use an oil slick to slide on his back across the floor. In all subsequent shots, the back of his coat is clean, without any sign of having slid across the oil.
4th Jun 2010
Solomon Kane (2009)
Factual error: Early on in the film, Kane takes refuge in a monastery. But the movie takes place in 1600, and by this time all the monasteries in England had been taken over and dissolved by the Crown (Henry VIII).
26th May 2010
The Lion in Winter (1968)
Factual error: After locking his sons in the wine cellar, Henry remarks "The royal boys are aging with the royal port". But "port" refers to a specific type of fortified wine that was not made until about 1670, and it was not given the name "port" until the end of the 17th century.

Dead Snow (2009)
Easter egg: On the main menu, go to "Innstillinger" (Settings), press Up and Enter on your DVD remote control to see a selection of outtakes from the movie.

Dead Snow (2009)
Revealing mistake: After Martin cuts his arm off, there are several scenes where you can see the bulge of the actor's real arm under his jacket. This is most noticeable when he is running through the birch wood, and when rooting through the ruins of the burned cabin.
28th Jan 2010
Dead Snow (2009)
Revealing mistake: All the zombies have greenish-gray, decayed skin. But when the zombie in winter camouflage gear is climbing the tree after Anna, his sleeve pulls back, revealing the actor's normal skin underneath. (01:00:40)
5th Dec 2009
Carnivàle (2003)
Revealing mistake: In brother Justin's padded cell, the far wall is obviously a painted backdrop. It even flutters when the orderly and doctor walk in! The only solid part is a couple of feet at the end, that Justin leans up against.
30th Mar 2009
The Princess Bride (1987)
Continuity mistake: After Montoya has hauled Wesley to the top of the cliff, he drops the rope on the ground, where it lands forming a couple of coils. You can see this as Wesley sits down and Montoya leans up against the wall. However, when they start their duel, the rope is hanging straight off the cliff, without any coils in it.
29th Mar 2009
The Wrestler (2008)
Other mistake: When the setup for the first match is announced, the Ram is said to fight Tommy Rotten "for the strap", which is pro wrestling slang for a belt, meaning it was a title match. But after the match, which he won legitimately, The Ram is not announced as a new champion, nor is he ever referred to as such, and no belt is given to him after the match.
7th Mar 2009
Lost (2004)
Continuity mistake: Ses. 5, ep. 5, "This Place is Death". When Daniel is telling Charlotte that he has a plan, and explains, "When we were back at the hatch, I talked to Desmond", he places his left hand on top of his right, holding Charlotte's hand between them (seen at bottom of the screen). When the angle changes to a shot above his shoulder, his left hand is suddenly back under Charlotte's head, with no time to move between shots. (00:32:50)
23rd Feb 2009
Lost (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Jack is walking into the medicine cupboard, he has a few small sweat stains on the back of his shirt. The camera cuts to show him turning to a different shelf, and for a split second you can see that his shirt back is now covered in a huge stain, and with large sweat rings under his arms. After he has injected Sayid, his shirt is completely dry again. (00:33:20)
7th Feb 2009
Dead Snow (2009)
Factual error: Herzog is referred to as "Oberst" (Colonel) both by The Wanderer and in the end credits. But both he and his men wear SS uniforms and insignia, where standard military titles were not used. Herzog should have been called the SS equivalent "Standartenführer".
7th Feb 2009
Dead Snow (2009)
Revealing mistake: The zombies' uniforms are all worn, decayed and dirty from being 60 years old, and being underground for most of that time. But there are some notable exceptions. The winter camouflage gear worn by two of the zombies is completely undamaged and pristinely white, and looks brand-new. In addition, when Vegard is thrown out of the zombie cave, the zombie who climbs out after him is wearing shiny black boots, that does not bear the slightest sign of having ever been worn.
