Factual error: In the beginning the professor says that they have now built a 1:20 scale copy of the great pyramid including capstone. In the final fight, the pyramid contains a huge room inside - in the full height of the pyramid. But the Egyptian pyramids are (almost) solid.

Character mistake: When Flynn is in the treetop in the jungle he says their position is minus X degrees latituded and minus Y degrees longitude. Positions are not indicated with minus - but North or South (of the Equator), and East or West (of Greenwich).

Jacob La Cour

Plot hole: The plot that a piece of the Roman spear that pierced Christ ends up in a hidden Mayan temple in the Amazon (which is nevertheless still full of gold etc.) makes no sense.

Jacob La Cour

Other mistake: When in the Mayan temple Flynn pools out the book. It is completely intact and the pages are flat and even. A book which has been under water for a long time (during their swim) would not look like that.

Continuity mistake: When Flynn and Nicole jump from the airplane it is just before sunrise. But when they land in the jungle, the sun is high in the sky (which you can tell by the shadows).

Jacob La Cour

Character mistake: Flynn has been reading for a while, taking notes, spreading books around, etc. - when Nicole arrives and says that it was nice to watch take-off from the cockpit. The plane must have been in the air for a long time by then.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: Flynn was juggling with two golden eggs when the sword flew out of the rock. But after the sword came, they weren't seen again.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the capstone to the pyramid is lowered onto the two ropes holding it. In a clip a few minutes later, the ropes are gone.

Show generally

Plot hole: Episode 1: All passengers on cruise ships have a passenger card with their name and cabin number imprinted. They are not just identical key cards like in hotels.

Dante's Peak (1997)

Factual error: When being rescued from the crater, Harry tells the helicopter that he is 600 feet below the rim. But earlier, when first the other scientist and then Harry went down into the crater it took a very short time - that could not have been 600 feet. And also from the look of the distance it was more like 150 feet. (00:13:10)

Suggested correction: He's saying he's "about" 600ft below the helicopter, not below the rim. Also, Harry was just guessing at the distance, it could be more, it could be less.

Plot hole: Cain's hitman asks for a match to lit his cigar. Cain gives him the matchbook. When Axel later tests the matchbook for fingerprints, there is only one on it - Cain's. The hitman's fingerprint ought to be on it too.

Factual error: When breaking in at the gun club, Axel squeezes the gum foil in the door crack, and fastens it with the gum. But the gum is on the outside of the door. When he opens the door, the foil would flip a bit back, so it would not connect the magnet on the back of the door - where there is no gum.

Audio problem: When Axel is in the shed in the final shoot-out with Dent and Karla, there is a flopping sound from the ceiling fan. The instant Karla gets shot, the sound disappears.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: In the final shots of the fight on the plane, where Necros holds on to Bond's boot, his right hand position on the boot changes between shots.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: When Axel places the matchbook in the turtle-quarium it is almost closed. When Axel comes back after the call, and the finger print shows, the matchbook is open.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: When Bond and Necros are fighting on the opium packages behind the plane, in the wide shot we see that Bond is all the way at the top of the bundle of packages - he takes his knife and cuts the net near his knee. In the next wide shot we see that Bond's head is above the top of the bundle of packages, but in the next close-up, packages are dropping from above Bond's head.

Jacob La Cour

Continuity mistake: When Bond pushes Pushkin back on the bed in the hotel room, Pushkin has a basket with a bottle of champagne in his left hand. It disappears between shots, and there is no sound of it falling to the floor.
