Plot hole: In the level A Show of Force, Bond has to drive the Q-Bike. It seems that this bike came from nowhere, as it wasn't there the first time he went to the safe house, and 003 was already captured. No one could have put it there.

More James Bond: Everything or Nothing mistakes

Continuity mistake: After defeating Blane, Bill will appear and ask you to go to the Sevii Islands. Answer no. He'll then go to the Cinnabar's Pokemon Center and will wait for you there. However, if you fly to his house in Route 25, he'll also be there. He's in two places at the same time.

More Pokemon: FireRed and LeafGreen mistakes

Factual error: When you reach the champion in Pokemon Gold, you have to defeat his Pokemon. His 4th one, Aerodactyl, knows the move Rock Slide. Aerodactyl cannot learn this move, and it does not appear as a TM in this generation.

Bug: There are two ways to perform this glitch. When the glitch is performed, the game can't progress, regardless of the fact all windows on the current floor have been fixed. Ralph will continue to throw bricks and Felix can still be moved, but the game will stay on the current floor. One way of performing this glitch is to 'die' just as the last window on the floor is fixed. The second way to perform the glitch is to press the fix button on a window and have Ralph destroy the window whilst it's being fixed.

Quantom X

More Fix-It Felix, Jr. mistakes

Other mistake: When entering Final Fortress as Team Sonic, Sonic will say "This must be Eggman's headquarters!" however the subtitles make a typing error and leave out the 'be,' reading "This must Eggman's headquarters!"

More Sonic Heroes mistakes

Revealing mistake: When Clayface disguised as Joker is holding Talia hostage in the movie theater, they are both standing on stage in front of the screen with a movie playing.

Audio problem: In 'Fleeing the Complex', there is an ending called 'Presumed Dead'. Towards the end of this route, Henry is told that he is the first person to have escaped The Wall. As he is told this however, the person speaking is not moving his mouth.

Suggested correction: Dimitri's mouth was deliberately concealed at that shot, due to him being too small on the screen at that time for the animators to consider adding details. Now, it wouldn't have looked as good if it weren't for his beard.

Rassdyt

Then that's also a deliberate mistake.

More Henry Stickmin Collection mistakes

Bug: Bot Boneyard: Pac-Man lands in the pit and he takes a look around. The shot cuts to what Pac-Man can see. As the shot pans around, the black paint on the walls disappears from shot.

Casual Person

More Pac-Man World 3 mistakes

Continuity mistake: When going to the Gotham City Bank, the clock tower bell will begin to ring. Alfred then contacts Batman and says that it's now 12:00 AM and wishes him a merry Christmas. If you look at the clock tower, however, the clock says that it's only 9 o'clock.

Buzz

More Saints Row 2 mistakes
