Finding Graceland picture

Becoming Jane picture

Other mistake: When Henry and Lefroy strip off before going swimming, they enter the water wearing their boots, however their trousers have been removed despite there not having been time for them to remove them and replace the boots.

The Assassination of Jesse James picture

Other mistake: During the film the narrator states: "He also had a condition that was referred to as "granulated eyelids" and it caused him to blink more than usual as if he found creation slightly more than he could accept." However, this never occurs once in the movie and in fact the opposite happens, Jesse stares into space hardly blinking throughout the entire film.

Miss Potter picture

Other mistake: There is a scene where Miss Potter is in the Lake District beside a lake drawing. Across on the other side of a lake there is a red car driving along the road quite fast. This is in the cinema version.

Coal Miner's Daughter picture

Other mistake: When Doolittle is running his jeep up the muddy hill near the beginning, the landscape changes. The hill is a straight 40° angle, but in the close shots behind the wheel, it changes to a steep 80° which no vehicle could realistically terrain, except perhaps an army tank. And he stalls out several times and has to back up, which would not happen at the 80* steep. Then he miraculously makes it over the top.

Green Book picture

Other mistake: When Tony and Dr. Shirley are driving in a snow storm, in the view from the front of the car, the wipers seem to pass behind the snow on the windshield, and the blades appear longer than the area cleared. It's almost as if the snow was added on later in post-production. It's most noticeable if you look at the tips of the wipers as they approach the tip of the snow on the windshield. (01:51:35)

The Big Short picture

Other mistake: The bank clerk with the grey hair, offering the cigarette and sitting back is supposed to work in "the late 70's" according to the narration. Surprised to see him again in the audience (front right) of the panel discussion on March 14, 2008, some 30 years later, looking not a year older. (00:01:35 - 01:53:40)

La Bamba picture

Other mistake: Ritchie's 1950's Fender guitar amp looks like it would have looked in the 1980's when it should have only been a couple of years old in the movie.

Rudy picture

Other mistake: Rudy continually checks the roster to see if he made the dress list. The captain of the team is Roland Steele; the first one to visit the coach about giving up his jersey for Rudy. Every time Rudy looks at the list he scans past the last names for "S" where you should see Steele, Roland. Steele doesn't appear on the dress list yet he dresses every game. Stock, J. (Capt.) appears on the list, so Steele should too.

Creation picture

Other mistake: Just before the ending credits, this statement appears: "He was buried with full Christian honours, in Westminister Abbey." Perhaps the extraneous comma in that sentence might not be as noticeable if Westminster had been spelled correctly. (01:38:15)

Hacksaw Ridge picture

Other mistake: The navy bombardment opens fire and there are huge explosions. When they attack from the ropes they walk at least 50 yards with no craters, just flame and smoke. Awfully big guns for no holes in the ground .

Houdini picture

Other mistake: Bess objects to Harry recreating Von Schweger's water torture cell escape because "it killed him." There are good reasons for Bess to object, but this isn't one of them: as Bess and Harry both know, Von Schweger survived, lived a long life, and died of natural causes.

Growing Up Brady picture

Other mistake: Either there was or wasn't a 5-year contract from the onset. At first, Sherwood told Bob, "It's just a pilot episode. If we get picked up for a series." Narrator Barry Williams said his agent called to tell him "the network picked up the Brady Bunch for a full season." Season One ended but Sherwood didn't call "until the last minute" to tell the cast they "would be coming back to a second season." Later, Sherwood told Bob that he knew when he did the pilot that he signed a 5-year contract. (00:05:50 - 00:21:40)

Suggested correction: Those two things are not mutually exclusive and that's not how it works in the television industry. Actors usually have to sign a test option agreement with the studio prior to the pilot being picked up (sometimes even before auditioning). This ensures the studio that the actor is committed to the project long term should the pilot be picked up, but signing the contract agreement doesn't guarantee the pilot will be picked up. A 5-year test option agreement seems pretty standard.

I'm aware of such contracts - and surely Florence Henderson would have also been required to sign a five-year agreement, but there (conveniently) was no mention of this.

Rush picture

Other mistake: The Rolls-Royce at Watkins Glen, and the Mini in England, have the same English license plate.

Julie & Julia picture

Other mistake: In Meryl Streep's simulation of Julia Child's famous potato pancake flipping fiasco, the stove isn't turned on. In the original Julia Child "French Chef" program, copious amounts of steam and sizzle were emanating from the skillet.

Pirates of Silicon Valley picture

Other mistake: When Bill Gates arrives in Albuquerque, after Paul Allen says "It's not so bad when there's no wind" the subtitles say "oh yeah? what is that?" however the audio says "oh yeah? when is that?"

The Infiltrator picture

Other mistake: The movie poster shows a reflection of a $100 bill on the lenses. The bill should be flipped.

Suggested correction: Since this isn't part of a scene in the movie, it's not a mistake. It's just a stylized image. It would be no different from pointing out a group of people superimposed over each other or appearing larger than big objects they're next to.
