Married... with Children (1987)

Nightmare on Al's Street - S1-E11

Question: What does Steve mean when he tells Marcy he's horny and has been to Buffalo?

Answer: In the first season, Steve and Marcy are portrayed as being more proper and "straight-laced", compared to the following three seasons (and Marcy's later personality, after they divorce). I think Steve is having more "exotic" urges than usual, after going to Buffalo. If I am correct, it's not considered a very wild and intense place, but it was a change from the Rhoades' well-managed routine.

The Jerk (1979)

Question: Why is this movie called "The Jerk"? Navin's naive, not a jerk.

Answer: Navin self-applies the "Jerk" epithet early in the film, using it not in the sense of someone obnoxious or mean (as it is used in most cases), but in the sense of a stupid person. He's saying he blames himself and his lack of intelligence (though, as you say, it is usually simple naïveté) for ending up where he is (broke, homeless).

King of the Hill (1997)

Love Hurts and So Does Art - S3-E18

Plot hole: There's no reason Hank or Peggy can't call the deli owner and tell him not to sell any more food to Bobby once he contracts gout.

Suggested correction: Bobby has generally earned his parents' trust. He might get into trouble occasionally, as many pre-teen boys do, but not so much that Hank and Peggy need to cover all the bases. They believe that he stopped going to the deli. As Peggy tells Connie, "He is doing everything he can to get back on his feet in time for that dance."

Gotham Knights (2022)

Stupidity: Clayface shouldn't be hiding out in the sewer, as water is a weakness of his.

Phantom of the Opera (1943)

Plot hole: Somehow, the Phantom gets a piano down to his sewer lair all by himself.

Phantom of the Opera (1943)

Continuity mistake: The Phantom's entire face is hit by the tray of acid, yet only the right side of his face gets disfigured.

Follow That Bird (1985)

Plot hole: Given how long it takes to set up a carnival, and that they arrived at the same time as everyone else, it's highly unlikely the Sleaze brothers could've had everything already set up, much less been open for five hours already.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Question: Why does the Mad Hatter want Batman as his Alice?

Answer: As a child, Jervis Tetch never had any friends. Even in his adult years, he was all alone. When Jervis asked Batman to be his Alice, he was essentially asking Batman to be his friend.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Plot hole: It seems peculiar how, if Scarecrow's become immune to his own toxin, that this one could make him afraid.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

Question: Why didn't Leia keep the bomb she'd had earlier when she turned Chewbacca over to Jabba, when she unfroze Han?

Answer: She likely wasn't allowed to keep it, as it would be considered a continued threat to Jabba and his minions. To claim the reward, she probably had to relinquish it. Voluntarily surrendering it would be a show of "good faith" once Leia (posing as a bounty hunter) got the payment for Chewbacca. Wanting to keep it would be suspicious.

King of the Hill (1997)

Uh-Oh Canada - S13-E18

Character mistake: Hank talks about watching the Broncos vs the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII. This is incorrect. They played in Super Bowl XII. Super Bowl XIII was the Cowboys vs the Steelers.

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)

Harley's Holiday - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Both of Harley's shoes are red as Batman holds her after rescuing her from falling.

The Marine 6: Close Quarters (2018)

Revealing mistake: The anchor rope around Maddy's neck is loose enough for her to remove.

16th May 2023

Phantom of the Opera (1943)

Continuity mistake: The Phantom's right eye only becomes disfigured once he's unmasked - it's normal the rest of the time.

26th Mar 2023

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969)

Scooby's Night With a Frozen Fright - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Prof Ingestrom's parka is found, then it becomes Prof Wayne's parka.

Who's Harry Crumb? (1989)

Audio problem: When Nikki calls out to her father about Harry having arrived her lips don't match with the audio.

16th Mar 2023

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969)

Scooby's Night With a Frozen Fright - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: A heater on a table disappears then reappears as the gang investigates the room.

Bridesmaids (2011)

Revealing mistake: Despite her claiming to be topless you can see what looks like a tube top on Kristen Wiig during her attempts to get the state cop to notice her.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: No, she's not wearing a tube-top. Looked up the scene on online. She has her hands covering her nipples, and her passenger Helen has her arm up in a gesturing manner partially covering her breasts, but there's absolutely no tube-top in sight. (I think you may be seeing part of Helen or Wiig's arm and think it's part of a tube-top).

La Noire (2011)

Plot hole: In "A Marriage Made In Heaven" Phelps and Berkowsky locate the hit and run driver's car in early morning hours. Clearly they could've found which apartment was the driver, William Sheldon's, and gone in to arrest to him instead of waiting several hours.

7th Jan 2023

The Invisible Man (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Cecilia's talking with Tom in his office her hair's over the front of her left shoulder. A shot of Tom and suddenly her hair's over the front of both shoulders. A shot later it's back to being just over the front of her left shoulder.
