Corrected entry: When Pauly introduces members of his family at Henry's wedding, he introduces one member as his brother's second cousin, but his brother's second cousin is also his second cousin, it would not be necessary to say it was his brother's.

The Firm (1993)
Corrected entry: When Mitch is talking to his brother Ray in prison, Ray mentions that he would never mention to the guys in prison that he has a brother at Harvard. He then sends Mitch to visit his former cellmate, Eddie Lomax. In the next scene, Eddie then proceeds to tell Mitch that he practically went to law school with Mitch because his brother talked about him everyday, even though Ray just finished mentioning that he would never tell anyone about his brother's attendance at Harvard Law. (00:49:15 - 00:50:30)
Correction: When Eddie tells Mitch that he knows all about Mitch's law school it is a conscious statement to the viewer that Ray was lying to Mitch when he said he would never tell anyone he had a brother in law school. This is in the movie to show the viewer that Ray is actually proud of his brother, despite what he might actually say to Mitch directly.

Goodfellas (1990)
Corrected entry: When Maury jumps into the pool in his wig commercial, his head presumably goes underwater, but when the next shot shows him standing in the pool, his wig is dry. (00:37:30)
Correction: Of course it is. It's a commercial - he is showing how water resistant his ridiculous wigs are by putting a dry one on for his close up shots. It's called advertising.

Heat (1995)
Corrected entry: When Waingro kills the prostitute at the hotel, the girl he kills is a fair-skinned African American, but when Vincent Hanna is called out to the crime scene, the dead girl under the sheet is a darker skinned African American with braided hair, obviously not the same person. (00:54:45 - 00:58:10)
Correction: The coroner at the scene mentions there were a series of murders with the same MO, and would probably find evidence of "the same guy" in this girl. The different girls were shown to show the first girl wasn't Waingro's only victim.
Why on earth would they show a different dead girl right after the murder of this young prostitute in the hotel room? That makes no sense whatsoever. They obviously didn't bother to have continuity to the scene by showing the alive girl in the bedroom scene to be dead.
They are intentionally two different girls. Kai Soremekun is credited as "prostitute" and Rainelle Saunders is credited as "dead hooker." The scene is meant to show he's a serial killer, not a continuity mistake.
Thank you! The explanation above, about another victim being shown to show how many other victims Waingro had killed, is so ridiculously inaccurate it shouldn't have even been published. Makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Corrected entry: If you look at the top of the school building there is an abbreviation "LHS" which presumably stands for a high school's initials. But the school that Donnie attends is called "Middlesex Ridge School." (Filming location was at Loyola High School in Los Angeles.) (00:50:55)
Correction: It is acctually IHS which is a catholic inscription meaning Iesous Christos.

Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Corrected entry: When Lloyd attempts to pick up the Austrian woman at the bus stop, there are two extras standing against a wall behind her. As the camera returns from Lloyd to her a second later, the two men have disappeared. (00:01:05)
Correction: It's about four seconds between the shots, which is more than enough time for them to have left the camera's view.
