Let the Right One In picture

Other mistake: When Oskar finds the solved Rubik's Cube it cuts to a shot of Eli sleeping, wearing a large shirt/dress. However, this shirt/dress is the same one that she takes from Oskar's mother's closet later on in the movie and therefore, she wouldn't have it yet.

Smart People picture

Other mistake: When Lawrence and Janet are on the way to the airport and going through the tunnel, the taxi is on the wrong side of the road. This is apparent when there is a shot of the taxi, because the double yellow lines are on the left side of the screen (passenger side of the vehicle).

Righteous Kill picture

Other mistake: After the main characters are talking in a bar, the camera shows a wire above a street. On the wire, there are 3 pairs of old shoes hanging by the laces. However, a closer look reveals that 2 of the 3 pairs are NOT actual shoes, they are just cardboard cut-outs printed to look like shoes and they have the same graphic. (00:36:25)

21 (2008)

21 picture

Other mistake: In the opening scene, Ben is seen riding his bike over the Mass Ave Bridge from Boston towards Cambridge, at MIT. A few moments later, he is seen coming over another bridge (the John Weeks footbridge) from Boston into Cambridge, at Harvard. There would be no reason for him to ride into Cambridge over the Charles River at MIT and then seconds later be riding into Cambridge over the Charles River at Harvard.

The Happening picture

Other mistake: When the Jeep crashes and John gets out, he sits on the ground behind the vehicle and picks up a shard of glass that's supposed to be from the vehicle accident. Given that all the glass on the jeep shows to be intact, the glass couldn't have come from the Jeep as insinuated by the audio and placement of the shard.

Suggested correction: The windshield broke when the Jeep crashed into the tree and the driver was thrown through it. So the glass of the Jeep is not all intact. That being said, the shard John picked up was a long way away from where the windshield broke.

Punisher: War Zone picture

Other mistake: In the dinner shootout scene, The Punisher hangs from a chandelier upside down using his legs, and starts shooting people while spinning for about 20 seconds, but there is no apparent force which makes him spin so much in the first place; he doesn't even make a "first turn" with his body in order to start spinning. (00:08:00)

Traitor picture

Other mistake: In Traitor, as Don Cheadle is preparing to fight in the Yemeni Jail house towards the beginning of the movie, the camera pans around him and his opponent. In the background, a spectator emerges and bumps his head pretty hard as he comes through the doorway, reminiscent of the storm trooper who bumps his head in Star Wars.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging picture

Other mistake: When Jas and Georgia are playing netball and talking to each other about how Georgia used Dave to make Robbie jealous, they are on goal attack and goal defence. However, they are only allowed on the first third of the court. However, they are both of the center third of the court, and in a netball game that would call for a foul.
