Other mistake: The show is supposed to take place in the same timeline as Next Generation, but the presence of a young Guinan in 2024 who has never met Picard before contradicts the TNG Season 5 finale, Time's Arrow, where Picard met Guinan (looking like Whoopi Goldberg, who also appears here) in the XIX century. When asked about this contradiction, show writer Terry Matalas said that the Federation actually never happened since the 'future' was changed by Q's actions, so Picard never traveled back in TNG meeting her. However, that is never referenced in the actual episode or the season finale, and would create other paradoxes, especially since in the very same episode there is a reference to Star Trek IV. The same punk from back then rubs nervously his neck remembering Spock's nerve pinch; the TOS cast would have not visited XX century Earth in the way shown in the movie if the Federation never came into existence.

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Two of One - S2-E6
Stupidity: Adam Soong's daughter is a grown woman who is well aware of her unique critical condition and the outside world, and is homebound because of her health condition that prevents her from being exposed to direct sunlight and pathogens. Apparently, with all the free time she has and awareness and investment in her father's researches who are all about her, she never ever looked at her father's computer (which has all the info about her story right there on the desktop) nor googled him before.
Suggested correction: I'm sorry, but what reason would she have to look at her father's computer or google him prior to becoming suspicious of him? Yes, the information about the experiments is laughably easy to find but that doesn't mean it's stupid that she hasn't stumbled upon it yet. She never looked because she trusted her father. She doesn't have a reason not to, she isn't privy to his shady actions like the audience. It doesn't seem unreasonable that someone who is so isolated from society might be naïve.
If she were a pure innocent soul isolated from society in an absolute sense, yes, but if you look at episode 4, she is aware that he is being audited, and she even jokes about the line he actually used "Humanity is at a crossroad" implying it's a bad line that he used before and that, besides being a huge red flag about the unethical experiments she is totally unaware of a couple episodes later, there is contention about what he is doing. If your dad were implied in some public auditing the outcome of which your very life depends on, I think you'd peek at the media coverage. Even worse for the computer, with the data easily accessible from the desktop, in video format - she's home all day and yet she never ever in a lifetime peeked what her dad was up to, which is, and she is aware of that much, finalized to save her life.

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Plot hole: Dr. Adam Soong is initially presented as a discredited scientist, banned from the scientific community; he gets debarred and his funding revoked. And it's not an internal matter; he is publicly exposed for it. His daughter in episode 6 even finds out this information on Google. Several news articles call him "mad scientist" and such. However, this same person at the same time throughout the rest of the season has every bit of pull and influence, not just through undercover channels, but is treated with the utmost honor and deference by the NASA PR people at public events.

Black Jack (1993)
Ryuusui, Chimaera no Otoko - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Crosswords has the first attack of Chimera witnessed by Black Jack, his wife Sayuri runs to the fridge to grab the bottles. In the shot with the camera inside the fridge, there is a full complement of bottles in the bottom shelf, but in the other angle the right half of the shelf is occupied by glasses only. (00:09:15)

The Intern (2015)
Audio problem: Jules had one drink too many and she falls back slurring "Thanks agaaaaain" - her lips however don't move, it was dubbed over. (01:17:40)
18th Jun 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Jules reacts to Ben's answer about his previous job asking "phone books?" She already cocked her head in the previous shot (when he said "Dex One"), but she does it again, and when the camera is back on the previous angle, the further change of position is not registered. She also holds the pizza slice at a different height depending on the angle. (00:51:50)

Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: One of the possible messages that happens when Yamato faces Le Chevalier during mission 7 ("Cosmic Crossroads") prompts Kodai to say "This is the ship that is guarding the Pluto base." It's a phrase that fits their previous encounter when Shulz was in fact doing that, but since then the Pluto (or "Plato" base as the Gamillans call it) base was destroyed (by the Yamato itself, even) and they moved past it.

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Stupidity: From a remote location, Kore deletes her father's research data from his computer, defeating him. So Adam Soong in a few decades of work as a geneticist, apparently never once backed his work up or kept a hard copy of it. (00:20:05)
Suggested correction: The question is left unanswered. We simply do not know if he did. Or when was the last time he did a backup. If she did a system-wide purge. Or if she got to that too.
There's no question waiting for answers about it, is there? Quite the opposite, the scene is very straightforward and would be entirely pointless if he had a backup to salvage (which would be a terrible backup if it could be wiped out remotely), and his reaction does not imply anything of the sort - she knows that she is completely destroying his work with a handwave (work she didn't even know about until hours earlier) and she is right, because he's a defeated man that turns to a very different project entirely because of her action. It's simply an oversimplification/trivialization of how research (and computers in general) work in movies.

The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In the "Before battle" segment before battle 5 in Angel of the Ring part I, Kula during her introduction spells at one point "peropero" with an extra p, "peroperop."
4th Jun 2022
The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In the "Before Battle" segment before the fourth stage of Angel in the Ring part I, Angel says about the 'zombie doll' that "it's bad breath puts me in a bad mood", mixing up verb and possessive pronoun.

12 Angry Men (1997)
Continuity mistake: The jurors haven't expressed their first vote yet, they're just getting seated. One of them says "Let's get the show on the road." The foreman's right arm is bent as he holds the pen. He asks the juror by the window to come and sit; in this shot though his arm is down and straight. (00:07:25)
1st Jun 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Everyone shows concern for Ben's health when he's not quite himself at work. Jason says that he looks like he's 'malfunctioning'. Ben puts away his patented handkerchief. When he manages to shoo him and the secretary away several seconds later, he's putting the hankie away again. (01:30:10)
1st Jun 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Keeping a secret from Jules makes Ben uneasy, so when he is back at the office after finding Matt out, he is very evasive. During the scene, Jules' hand with the fork changes position several times. Then all of a sudden she holds her hand, with no fork, to her chest as she says he looks flushed, and at the cut the hand switched from right to left. (01:29:40)
1st Jun 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: Paige "like a clone" tries to correct Ben about the best course. She says "This is it" and touches the computer; her left hand is on the armrest of her seat. It's under the computer thingie in the next shot when Ben says the line. (01:23:15)

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Stupidity: Gargantos neutralizes Strange's cape tossing a motorbike at it. Hilariously enough, someone was riding the motorbike and Gargantos knocked him off the bike. The streets were littered with all sorts of wreckage; the biker who made a conscious effort to drive around all sorts of obstacles literally blocking 90% of the roads and ride right at the enormous monster in plain sight must have been in a hell of a rush.
31st May 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Stupidity: During the battle with Shuma-Gorath / Gargantos, Strange summons a variety of items that cut or would cut through him like butter (a single shard of the bus, a magic weapon, not to mention a massive circular saw), but he just doesn't use them anymore for no reason despite them being super effective. At one point Wong and him even try to pull the kaiju-sized monster to the ground using their physical strength, failing as anyone (but them, somehow) would expect when the monster was paying them no attention for a long time.
31st May 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: When America says "Find food. Preferably pizza", the passers-by change in the mid-sentence cut.
31st May 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: At the wedding, Christine tells Stephen something quite hurtful; wide-eyed, he asks her how long did she have it in the barrel; a black partygoer walks behind him but is gone in the reverse shot. Moreover, she replies "Long time" and a couple walks past her, only to walk again past Stephen in the next shot.
28th May 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: The gang is celebrating with tequila shots after the successful heist. There's a supposedly diegetic song in the background at the bar, but if you look at the moment they gulp down the liquor, after the cut they must have performed other actions - for instance, Davis put the lime inside his own glass. (01:14:45)
28th May 2022
The Intern (2015)
Continuity mistake: In the sequence when she realises she sent the mail insulting her mom...to her mom, Jules' fingers completely switch place on the phone from the close-up to the other angles. (01:09:20)
