The Etruscan Smile picture

Continuity mistake: At night, as Claudia gets into bed with Rory, we see her bare back across the shoulder blades, and no evidence of shoulder straps. In the morning she awakens with surprise at Rory's absence, and she is wearing a top that would have been visible if she'd worn it in the night scene. (01:31:13 - 01:33:00)

Colette picture

Continuity mistake: When Willy is in bed looking at photos with the camera behind his ear, his cup of coffee is directly in front of his hands. A moment later when the camera shifts to in front of him, his coffee is way off to his side, nowhere near his line of sight. (01:00:12)

Lords of Chaos picture

Other mistake: During the murder in the stairwell, an old woman opens her apartment door outward, and Varg kicks it shut. Apartment doors always open inward, as did Euronymous' apartment in the same building.

Suggested correction: Euronymous' apartment door opens outward into the hallway, at least in the final scene it does when he's trying to get away from Varg.

Bel Canto picture

Factual error: An ambulance is shown. This movie is supposed to take place in a latin country. But the ambulance says "Ambulance" in English, and worse, it also says "Riverside County." Also, the red cross emblems on the attendants' backs say "Comite" in Spanish, "International" in English, and "Geneve" in French. (00:28:55)

Jonathan picture

Revealing mistake: The bottom third of the left-hand side of the screen is a "filler." At the top part of the left-hand side, there's a bicycle hanging on the wall, a square wall shelf, and a 3-Light Tree Floor Lamp. About two-thirds of the way down the wall, there's an inverted image of the items at the top - the angled edge of the wall (which does not line up with the rest of the wall because it's inverted), half of a bicycle wheel, the square wall shelf, and 3-lights of the floor lamp at the bottom of the pole. (00:01:54)

Backtrace picture

Other mistake: During the bank robbers' drive to the meeting spot, the background was blurred, but it is obvious the green color was from the tree leaves. As they got closer and arrived, the numerous trees were bare of leaves - only branches could be seen. The apparent attempt to have all trees appear to be bare (and consistent) was all for naught - It was April 8th in Georgia where the trees would have already blossomed. (00:02:24)

Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings picture

Continuity mistake: In her temper tantrum, the Empress throws various dishes and cups to the ground. In her messy motion though, some items do not fly off the table and a golden fruit bowl happens to just spin around and stay on. It is gone next. (00:02:45)

Then Came You picture

Plot hole: *SPOILER* Calvin's twin sister and mother were killed years earlier in an automobile accident. Calvin kept going to his doctor with "new symptoms", insisting there was something physically wrong. Dr. Collins told Calvin, "Your health issues aren't physical. I thought sending you to that support group would give you a better perspective." The doctor should have referred Calvin to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis and, if appropriate, the psychiatrist would recommend therapy or a support group. (00:10:15)

We Have Always Lived in the Castle picture

Continuity mistake: Constance is hugging Mary. In the close up shot, Constance is wearing a round sky blue earring. In the long shot, the earring is not seen even though her ear is fully facing the camera. (00:27:45)

Mia and the White Lion picture

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene with the skype call, Mia's hair is in front/behind her shoulders depending on the camera angle, with no logic. (00:00:55)

Galveston picture

Continuity mistake: When young Tiffany is eating ice cream at a restaurant, the amount of ice cream left in the clear glass bowl increases after she eats more. The ice cream in the bowl starts out being about half-full, goes down to less than one-fourth, and returns to about half-full again. (01:02:47 - 01:03:19)

Anthem of a Teenage Prophet picture

Deliberate mistake: Luke had a box of T-shirts he designed and Faith reached into the box and removed the top T-shirt. Without looking at the size or even holding it up to her body to see if the T - shirt would fit, Faith asked, "How much?" Luke replied, "Ten" [dollars]. Faith reached into her pocket, pulled out a wad of bills and handed it to Luke without counting the money. Faith put the T-shirt on over her top and it was a "perfect fit." (00:03:55 - 00:04:37)

The Death & Life of John F. Donovan picture

Plot hole: When Rupert brought his "secret pen pal" letters from Hollywood movie star John to school, they were stolen by some classmate bullies (and apparently never recovered). Rupert would have been around age 11 (possibly 12) at the time. It is inconceivable that a child could recall enough details from the letters to write a book about them 10 years later.
