Dawn of the Dead picture

Other mistake: Near the beginning, Ana speeds away from her home down winding streets in the suburbs. In an aerial views of the houses, look closely at the row of homes at the bottom of the screen. None of the homes are shown with driveways or sidewalks. Essentially, there is no way getting to these homes. This is revealed in the commentary by the director who realized the mistake, but didn't care.

Other mistake: In the scene where Jason drops from the bridge to the boat, you see him grab his left leg/knee in pain. But throughout the rest of the film, you see him limping on his right leg.

Suggested correction: Nonsensical. He says Pita, not Creasy. It's just harder to hear with other people (the housekeepers) shouting over him.

The Incredibles picture The Incredibles mistake picture

Other mistake: Near the end of the film when Jack-Jack is manifesting various abilities, his first display is of the human-torch-type of superpower. This would have burned away all of his clothing, yet (for obvious reasons) his diaper remains intact. This is particularly apparent as designer Edna Mode's costume for Jack-Jack was earlier shown as fire-resistant, but he was not dressed in his outfit during this scene. (01:44:15)

Suggested correction: This is definitely intentional, not an error. We see Jack-Jack use his fire powers without burning his diaper in Incredibles 2. Having fire powers without burning clothes is just a retcon.

Sideways picture

Other mistake: During the scene when Miles is in the hotel room asleep while Jack is out with Stephanie, Christine calls Jack on his cell phone and then on the hotel phone. First disturbed and awakened by Jack's cell phone ringing, Miles gets up to check it to see who is calling. He sees that it is Christine calling, and then lays back down. The cell phone shows Christine calling and then IMMEDIATELY afterward, it says that there is a voicemail waiting. That certainly was an extremely short amount of time in which to leave a voicemail.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events picture

Other mistake: When the children run into Captain Sham (Count Olaf in disguise), Aunt Josephine says that the children will make them a meal of puttanesca. You need the stove to make puttanesca but Aunt Josephine would never let the children anywhere near the stove because she was terrified that it would burst into flames.

Vera Drake picture

Other mistake: When the CID turn up at Vera's house, there is an overhead shot of their car parked right outside, sitting in the snow clad road. However there are no tire tracks in the snow, of the car making its approach.

Garden State picture

Other mistake: When Largeman is at the restaurant, the first place you see him is in the kitchen. When he exits the kitchen, if you look straight ahead, you can see some doors that open up to reveal the actual kitchen with waiters and cooks. The kitchen we see Largeman in was built as part of the set, and the kitchen we see straight ahead is the actual restaurant's kitchen. This is talked about on the commentary with Zach Braff and the other crew members.

Anchorman picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Ron and Veronica are in the car overlooking San Diego talking about the name, you can see just above Veronica's head, a bug climbing on the camera.

Suggested correction: There's no way what it's seen is a bug on the lens. It's on the windshield of the car. At the start of the scene, you see the bug in front of Ron and it slowly makes its way across the windshield and then up towards the roofline as it gets in front of Veronica.

Christmas with the Kranks picture

Other mistake: Nora spends a long time trying to get a Hickory Honey Ham (because it is Blairy's favorite). Finally, Marty brings one to the party. After Blair and Enrique arrive, Nora puts some ham on his plate, commenting yet again that it is Blairy's favorite. Yet when Luther goes across the street, he takes *them* the prized Hickory Honey Ham - still in the can.

Karoo

Suggested correction: He carries Mel's brand ham across the street, not Honey Hickory Ham, to the neighbors. He even mentions it's made mostly of a gelatinous product.

But in the Supermarket the Honey Ham is a Mel's. There's a big sign in the store when the lady gets it before Nora.

The Merchant of Venice picture

Other mistake: When Tubal meets Shylock outside the brothel after Shylock's "Hath not a Jew eyes?"-speech, a man in a passing gondola spits on Tubal. The spittle hits Tubal's clothes (And as the man is sitting while Tubal stands, he could not have reached any higher in any case). Tubal stills reaches up to his face and wipes it with his fingers, as if the spittle was there.

Eurotrip picture

Other mistake: Right after the scene where they are chased by a bunch of naked guys at the nude beach, they're sitting in a train and we can see Scott leafing through his past e-mail correspondence with 'Mike'. If you look closely, you'll notice that the third page is the same as the first page.

Club Dread picture

Other mistake: In the scene where the dead bodies are hanging, Pete has "naughty cal" carved in his chest but Carlos, the one who this was written on before doesn't have it anymore.

Bring It On Again picture

Other mistake: When Francis was talking to Whittier about violating himself, Monica and Penelope were talking at the back. They looked as if they were talking to someone, but when the varsity cheerleading squad came, there were only four of them. What happened to that person they were talking to?

The Chronicles of Riddick picture

Other mistake: When the sun comes up over the mountains on Crematoria, it shines full view on Riddick's face and makes his goggles see-through. You can see Riddick's eyes without the contact lenses used to represent his nightvision.

Out For Blood picture

Other mistake: After the cops pull Kevin Dillon from his car with aluminum foil on the windows, the aerial view reveals that both black and whites have the same number - 405 - painted on the roof.

After the Sunset picture

Other mistake: When Max, Lola, Stan and Sophie get back from scuba diving, Sophie gets a call on her mobile phone, she looks at it, and it says "13 new voice messages", instead of "incoming call". (01:16:45)

Van Helsing picture

Other mistake: Van Helsing's ring fits his as a human, but in the climactic fight he turns to werewolf form and back and is still wearing it. He didn't have time to take it off and put it back on, so either one of his wolf fingers should be horribly, painfully cramped or the ring should have broken. No one insinuates that the ring has magical powers of any kind to prevent this.

Mindhunters picture

Other mistake: When the remaining agents are sitting at tables drinking coffee, Vince glances up at the clock which says 12h00. He then says "It's two o'clock and we're still here. We're still here and it's two o'clock." (00:37:30)

The Chorus picture

Other mistake: At the beginning, Pierre's doorbell rings. He goes to answer it, only to see Pépinot walking up the driveway. How could he ring the doorbell while walking up the driveway?
