Other mistake: When Vincent arrives in Mia's home to pick her up, she states that she is on the intercom and the two of them are conversing back and forth with no problem. So why then does she direct him to the intercom on the wall and tell him to press the "push to talk button" when he goes to speak? They were already speaking just fine when he first walked in.

A Few Good Men (1992)
Corrected entry: Tom Cruise has one bar on his right collar on his uniform. He is a Lieutenant. A Lieutenant in the Navy has two bars, as shown on Kevin Bacon's uniform in their first scene.
Correction: Bacon is a captain in the Marine Corps, hence his two bars.
Kevin Bacon also wears his rank horizontally. Marine Corps captains wear this rank vertically.
Not according to the USMC uniform regulations handbook: https://www.marines.mil/portals/1/Publications/MCO%201020.34H%20v2.pdf. Check out page 1-97. Only on the cap is it placed vertically.
Correction: Kaffee is a lieutenant (junior grade), which is one silver bar. A full lieutenant is two silver bars. Both are just called lieutenant.

Toy Story (1995)
Corrected entry: After Buzz's flight test, Bo Peep says, "I found my moving buddy." Her voice is a bit different.
Correction: I don't hear anything different. Certainly not enough to be called an audio problem. It's Annie Potts's voice, rough edge and Nashville accent and all.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
Other mistake: As in the first movie, Bob can't speak as his mouth is sewn shut, and because of this he barely makes any audible sound. So how is the lower body of Chares Deitz able to speak? And, like the magician's assistant who died when she was cut in half, shouldn't the other half of him be in the afterlife with him?
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This is a question, not a mistaken entry. I suspect that in this afterlife the ability to speak is considered important if you don't own a mouth anymore, so it is made possible to speak without one. If it's sewn shut, however, tough luck, figure it out (he can cut his mouth open any time he wants). As for the body parts that were not with him, it's possible the magician's assistant took her lower body with her, and Charles didn't know he could do that with his other body parts.

Liar Liar (1997)
Corrected entry: When Fletcher goes to pick his Mercedes Benz up after it is towed, he screams about a scratch being on the car. There is no scratch visible throughout the rest of the movie.
Correction: The Mercedes got scratched at the towyard, and you don't see Fletcher's car again for the rest of the movie.
You do see his car again before the end of the movie - he drives to the airport in it when he goes there to get Audrey and Max back before they leave for Boston.
Yeah, but we don't see the side that was scratched.

Gladiator II (2024)
Factual error: In his flashback en route to Rome, young Lucius is shown playing football (soccer) as goalkeeper with his friends in Africa. There is no historic testimony of any ball game in the ancient world with such a close resemblance to modern soccer (exclusive use of feet, rectangular goal, etc.).
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: There are a few seconds of kids kicking a ball (coconut) around and a kid guarding two poles. Nothing shows they are actually following the rules of modern soccer. They are not doing an official sport, just a ball game they came up with that happens to look like soccer. There is only one goal too.
It is not an official game, but it's not randomly kicking the ball. It's the way modern kids with a previous knowledge of football would organise. It seems trivial to us, even natural, but as you can see, for instance, on the FIFA website, it is anything but. Games with exclusive use of feet weren't a thing in the Greco-Roman world. What is shown in the movie is meant to resemble something that the modern audience is familiar with, but wasn't at all close to the culture of 2nd century kids in Egypt.

The Menu (2022)
Continuity mistake: During the fourth course, after the gunshot happens, all the blood on the floor and kitchen bench disappears when the plates are about to be served. (00:42:12)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This is simply because they very quickly and effectively clean the kitchen bench off-camera. That is why the man was standing on a sheet and they covered the open kitchen with a screen to catch the blood spatter. The blood on the counter was minimal and there was hardly any blood on the floor.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
Factual error: In one scene, Winifred asks Gilbert who Trask is and Gilbert replies that Trask is the "mayor", to which Winifred just acknowledges. However, the office of mayor was not created in Massachusetts until 1823, which is 130 years after they were hanged, so given the witch's lack of knowledge of the modern day, she would have likely not known what Gilbert meant.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Plot hole: When the sergeant takes control of the truck, Dietrich directs him to approach to crush Indy between the staff car and the truck, which takes time and allows Indy to make his famous scene. However, Dietrich could easily have shot him and arrived in Cairo with the Ark in his possession. (01:27:40)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Shooting means risking hitting the truck's engine, which means finding new transport for the ark. All of which takes time off their schedule. Bad guys are always on a schedule.
True.

The Terminator (1984)
Plot hole: When Kyle Reese first enters the picture, the police immediately start chasing him (which ultimately works to the Terminator's advantage, as he is able to use the radio chatter to track his target). But why are the police after Kyle in the first place? All he did was steal a homeless guy's pants. There's no way that would generate that big of a response from the LAPD.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Hardly a plot hole to have him be chased by the police. But they saw a half-naked guy in an alley at night; that's suspicious. He stole a man's pants and ran. Then he assaulted a police officer and took his gun. It escalated pretty quickly.

Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie, we see Marty play his black Ibanez during the band try-outs. Later, we see it on his bed when Doc calls him and when he wakes up the next day in this alternate timeline. We never see him bring it home after school or when he goes home at night before dinner.
Correction: Maybe one of the band members brought it back to his house for him. Maybe he forgot it and picked it up again later, off camera. Maybe he has 2. Maybe the guitar he is using at the try-out isn't his. So many possibilities.

Agatha All Along (2024)
Circle Sewn With Fate / Unlock Thy Hidden Gate - S1-E2
Plot hole: Spoiler - considering what emerges at the ending of the series, Agatha's behaviour in this episode hardly makes sense. She had no trust in the Witches' road; in fact, she knew it did not exist at all, and her only aim was to steal the powers of the other four witches during a fake ritual. However, one of them is a normal human with no powers, one is a witch with her powers sealed and thus impossible to steal, and she literally tells the third one how her very specific energy-stealing power works - which, of course, is entirely absurd considering she had no purpose for her, given the lack of a real ritual.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The whole point was to just get a witch to do the ritual. Agatha's earthly ability is to read people. Knowing it's a rouse, she tells Lillia what she needs to hear to participate in the ritual (the road will make Lillia more powerful) and that at the end of the road, Agatha cannot just steal her power. She knew she needed to show a bit of her hand and had no doubt a witch would blast her out of anger (and show no restraint) when the song was over and no door appeared (human nature).
Suggested correction: She made do with what she could find. Two of the witches had powers she could steal. Since she was totally powerless at that time, it would be enough for her. After taking the power of just one or two, she could have killed the others just as easily. It didn't matter to her that one of them was not a witch at all; she needed four to make them believe they were walking the witches' road.
"I can't steal your magic unless you blast me with it. So if you show a little self-restraint, which, let's be honest, you're gonna need to, all that power is yours to keep." This is not me paraphrasing her for humour or to be concise; it's the actual dialogue to the person she plans to rob of their power. And it is 100% accurate; there is no "spark" she can steal without being hit directly. This level of candour makes sense only if there is an actual point to the ritual, and her subsequent attempt at taunting them is desperation because the ritual does not work, so then, at that point, she has to make do with what she has. Not if the whole thing was a sham to begin with.
I agree it's strange she would warn her about her ability if she planned to have them attack her, but Alice did in fact use her powers on her later without thinking about those consequences. So maybe Agatha hoped she would forget or not show restraint once she angered them enough. The witches in the past all seemed very eager to attack her after being taunted, and seemed to have been working for her for centuries too, so why not now?

Alien: Romulus (2024)
Plot hole: The facehuggers "see" by reading body heat, but this contradicts nearly every other film in which the creatures appear. In the original film they can see Kane's face through a space suit and helmet, so it must be tracking more than just body heat. The creatures also routinely leap directly at their victim's faces. This suggests that they "see" facial detail in some way that goes beyond simply reading body heat. The protagonists should not be completely invisible just by hiding their body heat.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The thorax and chest cavity is the warmest part of the body. It's tracking the heat from your breath and see's it as an opening down to the chest cavity. Which is why it always latches onto the face. It helps when the victim screams too. More heat.
It can't read Kane's body heat through a space suit, and his breath isn't escaping from his helmet at his mouth. It leaps directly at his face and melts through the helmet to get where it needs to go. The intent in the original film is that the creatures can see, not just read body heat. Additionally, we see from the xenomorph perspective in Alien 3 and Alien Covenant and their vision is not based on body heat. The heroes are invisible here just by raising room temperature.
Where has it ever been stated that they can't read Kane's body heat through a space suit? They're literally showing you it can. That's not a mistake of the movie. Alien 3 happened after this movie. Alien Covenant's praetomorph was created by David. So not the same situation as this. This is also someone speculating based off observation and study vs. A camera trick of showing their actual vision in events that haven't happened yet or on another planet. So they could be wrong.
It's a space suit, they are insulated. That's why when you wear a space suit the lack of atmosphere doesn't kill you. There's no possible way creatures that only see heat could see a human through a space suit. That's a mistake for THIS movie and this movie alone because this is the only instance where heat vision is suggested. The fact that earlier released films take place later in the mythos doesn't really change anything, this film makes a claim unsupported by the other films.
There was wind and ice on that planet. That constitutes an atmosphere. Kane is in a giant helmet, leaning fully over the egg opening as it hatched. That was pretty much the only place it could go. Just because the suit is insulated from the cold atmosphere on the outside, doesn't mean the suit itself can't get hot from the heat inside. Also, these are aliens, I never get trying to apply human logic to a fictional being from another planet, in the future, that survives in an atmosphere we can't.
There is some atmosphere on LV-426, but that is entirely missing the point. The space suit is designed to be worn in no atmosphere, so it is insulated. Space is incredibly cold; if your body heat could be drawn to the surface of a space suit, you would freeze to death in minutes while wearing one in space. You can't read someone's body heat through a space suit. I am not trying to apply "human logic" to an alien; I am saying this film contradicts the others. Thus, it is a plot hole.
You're missing the point. Kane leaned over the opening in a giant helmet, inches from the creature. Where else was the facehugger going to jump to? You keep saying, "you can't read someone's body heat"; that's based off current human knowledge and our abilities, not the abilities of a fictional alien creature who lives in the cold reaches of space. You can't say what it can or cannot do when it is showing you that it can.
We can absolutely say what the creature can and can't do based on what has been shown countless times throughout 40-plus years of canon media. This film makes a claim to create a tense scene. That scene contradicts what we know about the creatures. There has never been any indication that they see based on heat, and implying that they do does not follow how we see them behaving in basically every other appearance. Them "showing us that it can" is the mistake; that's, by definition, a plot hole.
Why do you refuse to answer my question? Kane leaned over the opening in a giant helmet, inches from the creature. Where else was the facehugger going to jump to?
To answer your question: How does it know anything is even there? They see by heat, and the characters in this film are invisible just by raising room temperature. It shouldn't know that Kane is even in the room. So where else should it have jumped? Nowhere; he should be invisible according to this film. It shouldn't have jumped at all.
Suggested correction: Someone in a spacesuit has the problem of excess body heat; the suit needs to dissipate the excess heat from the body, as it insulates the body against the vacuum of space. In real life, space suits are attached with tubes that dissipate the body heat when the astronaut is on a spacewalk; the suit has a cooling system for this. But Kane didn't have tubes to dissipate his body heat with, so where does his body heat go? Why not the helmet?
That's speculation, not really a correction. It's a space suit; that much is clear. It doesn't have a visible cooling system like a real-life space suit, but this series takes place in the distant future. We're getting a little hung up on this one example, but honestly, these films are 40-plus years apart. There are dozens of other instances where it is clear the facehuggers and the xenomorphs can see more than just body heat.
The xenomorphs can definitely see more than just heat, but that's not the statement in the movie. I can think of no examples that show facehuggers can see anything more than just heat/infrared.

Total Recall (1990)
Corrected entry: Never mind the absolute ridiculousness of having machine guns in a vacuum environment with many glass windows (and huge glass domes), why for safety's sake didn't the Mars colony have bullet proof glass?
Correction: Simply, money. Cohagen simply doesn't care. Bullet-proof glass is an expense he would rather not have.
I don't know about this, since there was apparently enough money to build the safety shields that came down. My question would be, if we could have the safety shields, why would they install glass at all?
The glass gives the ability to look outside; for the tourists, the safety shields do not.

The Boys (2019)
Plot hole: Starlight, Kimiko, and Hughie are torturing Tek Knight by transferring millions of dollars to organizations he hates. Even though it's needed to move the plot forward, there is no way they could have known the routing and account numbers for those organizations.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Both Starlight and Hughie are probably familiar with a lot of organizations that accept donations and gifts through their former jobs as political representatives. Why wouldn't they know the numbers?
Respectfully, that's a big leap. They were political representatives, not members of a trust or charitable foundation. Why would they have memorized the bank account numbers of random organizations? Not to mention the fact that at no time do Starlight or Hughie provide the account numbers to Kimiko. She just starts typing and bam, the money is transferred.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Revealing mistake: Right before Sarah fires the second shot at Dyson at his home office, you can see a puff of smoke come from where she is at. The problem is, she doesn't shoot until a second or two after that and no sound is heard. What is the puff of smoke?
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: After the first shot, there is only a brief close-up of Dyson and then one of Sarah before she fires the second shot. There is no smoke coming from her side before she fires the second shot, as that can't be visible. There is some smoke appearing after the second shot though, in the shot with the camera behind the desk and Dyson diving under it. But that's probably electronics flying and exploding from the second shot hitting the computer. A second or 2 later, she opens up full auto.
The puff of smoke is outside.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Other mistake: Near the end, after they enter Cyberdyne, the other guard notices the main guard gone. He goes to the bathroom to find him. "Gibbons, you can't leave the desk like that." The interior door is slightly closing when he opens the main door. How is this possible?
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: That's explainable by air pressure from opening the outer door causing the inner door to move. They don't have handles and only have to be pushed open so they can be moved by air pressure.

Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: Just before Marty starts playing Johnny B Goode on stage, he tells the band members to watch for changes and other guidance advice to start the song. When the song starts, ALL the band members (who have never heard this song before) suddenly play all the chord changes perfectly and even the drums are perfect like the real song. In reality, never hearing that song before, the band would not have had this song perfected like that - every note and instrument sound.
Correction: This is, of course, done intentionally to make the song sound like it actually is. It's highly unlikely but not impossible that these musicians put it all together just as the actual song sounds. You also have to keep in mind that the idea is given that Chuck Berry came up with the song hearing it through the telephone, so that's why the actual song sounds the same, as he is just mimicking what he heard.
Besides which, if this posting were valid, every movie musical in history would be riddled with similar errors.
Factual error: During Jack's sliding down the rope scene, it is very noticeable that each one of the English soldiers fire their weapons more than once, which is impossible for that time, knowing that repetition weapons weren't invented until the mid 1800s. (00:20:00)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The first repeating firearm was invented in 1718.
I think you are talking about the Puckle gun from 1718, which was a crewed gun, not a rifle. The earliest repeating rifle is from 1630, with more variants made till the era the movie takes place in (early 18th century). However, these had all what you call single-action triggers (manual repeating), meaning they need a large lever to reload after firing. The guns in the movie obviously don't have such a lever. What the poster probably meant by repetition weapons is double-action trigger rifles.
