Kung Fu Panda picture

Other mistake: When the villagers return to their homes, Po is seen emerging from an alley obscured with dust. In the shot where we can only see his profile, Po's "cape" is blowing in the wind, but the dust does not seem to be affected.

Suggested correction: You'd have been correct if the only inconsistency was a misaligned cloak. But that scene is far too elaborate. At first, we see a stereotypical legendary warrior in a long cape and straw hat pacing through magical dust. But soon, Po's figure transforms completely; even the dust vanishes without leaving a trace. I think what we see is either what the villagers thought to have seen or a mirage that the magic dust had cast.

Tropic Thunder picture

Other mistake: After the part where Cockburn explodes to bits on a mine, Speedman finds and picks up his walkie talkie as Cody is trying to communicate through it. The device is not only smoldering hot, causing Speedman to have to drop it, but it even appears to be melted. With the amount of heat it went though, much less the jar of the explosion, it should not have been still working at all. The 'actors' should not have heard Cody though it. Not only this, but the establishing shot of it on the ground shows the antenna snapped and broken over. (00:29:50)

Other mistake: When Noah gets hit in the back with the arrow and falls to the ground, Mathias holds him up as he dies. When he dies, he's lying on his back, even when there is an arrow sticking a good six inches out of his back.

The part before the actor's name is repeated immediately after.

Miracle at St. Anna picture

Shutter picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie, they're driving a red car and they crash. Then the police come and they drive away in a black car. There was no scene with a visible towing truck or anything. Did they forget to include them switching the cars or did they make an error of switching the car from red to black?

Suggested correction: You literally see the red car on a flatbed being towed away. When the shot changes from Jane in the Jeep to the wide shot of the street, the tow truck is pulling away on the right side of the screen.

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.

Bangkok Dangerous picture

Other mistake: Nicholas Cage travels to Bangkok with a fake Canadian passport - but his last name (he's "Vincent Cadillac") is spelled two different ways on the same document, with one L only at the bottom, which also has the wrong format (lacks "CAN", the code of the issuing country, in front of the last name). (00:07:15)

Baby Mama picture

Other mistake: In two separate scenes the same item is used. One at Angie's apartment, when Kate drops her off after the procedure, as soon as they get to the top of the steps and turn the corner there is a sconce visible on the wall with no candle... Later that same sconce is in Kate's apartment (in the scene where Oscar is drinking a red-bull, it is to the left of him). (00:19:35 - 00:28:20)
