Midnight Madness picture

Other mistake: There is a man and a woman who do the voices on the radios Leon listens to at Game Control. The man also does the voice for 530 AM at the airport, while the woman does the voice for the airport intercom, first noticeable when the White Team arrives at the airport. The woman then does the voice of the hotel operator, "Paging Mr. Player." These two are very busy indeed.

Private Benjamin picture

Other mistake: At the end of basic training, Judy's platoon goes to the bulletin board to see what their M.O.S. will be. This is not how the U.S. Army operates, you must pass a qualification test for the M.O.S. that you enlist for before you ever enlist. You know before you ever get to basic training what M.O.S. you will be training for, not on the last day of basic training.

Below the Belt picture

Other mistake: It makes no sense for Hilda to be on the ring apron during Rosa's match with Terrible Tommy much less be in her ring gear when she didn't wrestle on that card.

Popeye picture

Other mistake: As the people are going up the ramp to the Oyl's party, the man in the brown stops by the piling with a paper. As he bends over, there is a sound of the pelican pooping, and the man reacting to poop on his paper. The man and his paper are on one side of the piling, and the bird's tail is on the other. He couldn't have pooped on the paper unless he threw it.

Alligator picture

Other mistake: David is trying to locate the beast through a map of the city - for some reason, since he already located it before. Problem is, the movie is set in Missouri but the map he's looking at on his bed is a map of Los Angeles (you can even read "Granada Hills"). Similar mistake a few minutes later in front of the sewers; you can easily read "Monterey Park" to the right of a different map he props against the wall. (00:37:15 - 00:38:35)

How to Beat the High Co$t of Living picture

Other mistake: It's a funny line, sure, but when Jane is with her fiancé, he tells her that her mother and her lesbian partner "adopted a black baby" and "last week, she hocked her wedding ring to buy a crib." That's a little fast, considering the relationship happened just a little before the heist planning, a week. (01:04:20)

The Private Eyes picture

Other mistake: It is night-time when Dr. Tart (Conway) releases the 2nd dove out the window. Moments later we hear 2 gunshots and a plop sound of a dead bird. Which would be impossible as the shooter could not see a gray bird in the night sky.

Smokey and the Bandit II picture

Other mistake: When Justices car gets crushed as is almost triangular shaped, and driving down the road, it shows a shot of Justice cleaning off some dirt from the dashboard. If you look at the hood/bonnet where all the crease marks are from the crash, you can see quite a bit of rust where the paint has flaked off. Considering the damage is only supposed to have just happened, there should be clean metal not rust.
