Alligator (1980)

Character mistake: When Marisa leaves the diner, you can see the door has a "Push" tag. However, the door opens inwards, and in fact to go outside she has to pull. (01:08:00)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Character mistake: In Akechi's flashback, the board with the flight for Los Angeles has accurate names of airline companies (they seem to have swapped "Virgin" with "Kristen", for some reason) but the flights for Seoul is from "KSREAN" Air, clear misspelling of "Korean." (00:14:15)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10

Character mistake: When the boss of the magical troupe greets the passengers, the clock behind him shows it's 9:40. Noble later complains that he's gone for over an hour, but when he performs the stripping trick on Miyuki, the clock shows it's a couple minutes past 10, so not even half an hour passed. (00:07:40)

ENF Novels: Dress Code

Character mistake: During a sarcastic comment in the final days, Linda mentions "an action figure of Dr. Manhattan, a naked patch for the sims", with no capitalization - she meant The Sims, as in the game.

Crush Crush

Character mistake: The second screen of Nutaku's "ending" begins with quotation marks that never close - and they were never supposed to be there in the first place, her line begins only a few words later.

Ghostbusters (1984)

Character mistake: Peter tells Egon over the phone that he gave Dana "300 cc of Thorazine." Besides the funny implications the movie ignores on how and why he was in possession of it, Venkman says "cc", but the drug is dosed in mg, so at the very least Venkman misspoke (that'd be 1/3 liters!). The line is not in the shooting script and other sources like the novelization just say that Dana had some valium lying around. (01:02:30)

Character mistake: On the way to Jerusalem, Poirot says that "that man, Weizmann, put it rather well the other day, before Lord Peel's commission", and gives a famous quote about the world being divided in 'two places' for the Jews (those where they are not allowed to live, and those they cannot enter). The movie takes place in May 1937, and Chaim Weizmann's quote is from November of the previous year. 6 months are hardly "the other day."

Night Cascades

Character mistake: In the inspection at the park, Diane is trying to figure out what the people involved in the first fire could have done. She says "Were they frightened? Desperate to get away? Or EXHILERATED by the blaze?", misspelling the world "exhilarated."

Halfway Home

Character mistake: When the protagonist gets in their room at the beginning of the game, the 'janitor' introduces them and leaves. The protagonist then monologues saying that "It's more COMFORABLE for me to be alone", with an obvious typo.

House of Gucci (2021)

Character mistake: Paolo whines at the phone about his father going to jail when he's 70 years old. Like Al Pacino who plays him, Aldo Gucci was 80 at the time of the arrest. (01:21:35)

House of Gucci (2021)

Character mistake: Aldo tells Rodolfo to reconcile with his son, saying "Sunday is my birthday." Aldo Gucci was born on May 26th, which was not a Sunday in 1980 nor 1981, which is when the scene would take place. (00:31:30)

Castle (2009)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Castle finds his inspiration again and there's a word processor page fading in/out with text being written. Funnily enough, whoever typed in overlooked something, since there's a sentence that says "Begfore she felt safe." (00:41:30)

Sammo

Character mistake: Dr. Bessner tells Linnet that the Eastern statue she'll see at Abu Simbel is 'the vocal statue', which emits a sound at sunset. The statues the doctor mentions are the Colossi of Memnon, over 500 kms north of Abu Simbel, so the movie here mixes up two very different monuments. (00:49:30)

Scream 3 (2000)

Character mistake: Stone catches Gale snooping around and Dewey takes her aside to the kitchen to have a chat. She updates him about the latest news in the investigation, "Sarah's call didn't come from his cell phone." However Courteney Cox mangles the name and calls her "Sterra." Noticed by Wes Craven in the DVD commentary track; he even identifies the scene with "Oh, this is the scene when she calls Sarah 'Sterra' "and the editor references the similar "Roman=Ronan" mistake that happened earlier. (00:40:20)

Scream 2 (1997)

Character mistake: Dewey says that it does not make sense that the killer, who at this point is characterized as a copycat of the Woodsboro team, attacked Sidney. Actually that's exactly what happened in the first Scream; after Casey and her boyfriend, Ghostface tried to kill Sidney. Dewey should know since he was the first responder on that call doing a puppet show at the door, and it's not only amazing that he wouldn't remember, but also that nobody corrects him and that they haven't run a timetable of the previous events at all. Of course in the end the pattern does not matter just as Dewey later says, but up to that point, the killer was following it to a T, so they are reaching the conclusion too early and against the evidence. (01:01:00)

Expeditions: Rome

Character mistake: During the riddle event in the Olympian sidequest, Diodoros asks "Please forgive him." One of the possible answers mentions Pigres "clearly lost to your champion." It's a typo, since Pigres lost to "our" champion, aka Bestia, our companion.
