Real Women Have Curves picture

Factual error: As a college student this has always bothered me. It is impossible for a first year student to apply to a school as prestigious as Columbia University in the MIDDLE of the summer and not only receive admission, but a FULL-RIDE scholarship. A quick check on Columbia's website revealed that the deadline for ALL students was May 15 and most of the scholarships given out come from outside agencies, not the school itself. Even though Ana's teacher said he has a friend up there, there is still no way such strings can be pulled in that short amount of time.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Carla and Darl are talking in front of her house, she closes the back door to her car. In the next shot it is open and closed again in the next one.

24 Hour Party People picture

Factual error: Whenever Steve Coogan is driving his old brown car during the 70s and 80s, you can look out of his windows and see cars that weren't made then, even some with current registration plates on, either driving past, or parked up in driveways, or on the side of the road.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Trish gets shot in the head by Vic, she falls backwards onto a bed and lands inbetween two duffel bags. When Jack looks over to her, the camera shows her again, and the bag that was at her right is no longer there.

Gotta Kick It Up! picture

Factual error: The phrase "Si, se puede" is translated in the movie to mean "Yes, we can". However, "Si, se puede" literally translates to "It's Possible". (When it is mentioned earlier in the film that "Si, se puede" means "Yes, I can", that is also incorrect.) "Si, nos podemos" is incorrect. It would have to be "Si podemos" to be grammatically correct. Yet, in the United States, the phrase is colloquially translated to "Yes, we can", so it is probable that the writers and directors made the decision consciously, especially considering that the director is of Spanish descent.

Men with Brooms picture

Continuity mistake: When the team has their first game against the old guys, the first shot by the lead is wrong. Watch carefully and you will notice that the direction of the rotation of the stones changes about three times from clockwise to counter-clockwise during the same shot.

Character mistake: When Ben and Stephanie are studying, she repeats the stages of mitosis (which should be prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, with minor differences in the way textbooks divide them) out order; anaphase, metaphase, interphase, prophase. She is supposed to be an A student and Ben, who is also smart and reading from the notes and textbook, says she is right. (00:18:55)
