Red State picture

Continuity mistake: Three teen boys are abducted to be killed at the church. One breaks free and finds a weapons cache and dies in that room, while his killer dies outside that room. Soon after, the preacher and his wife find the dead church member, then look into the weapons room to see two of the teen boys dead, side by side. But the second hasn't been killed yet, and dies running away from the church later, shot by the the local sheriff by mistake. (00:40:40 - 00:48:00)

Suggested correction: The second boy, the one who got shot outside, was playing dead so the church members would leave him. It is not a mistake in the movie.

Have a Little Faith picture

Factual error: When Mitch Albom is with Rabbi Albert Lewis in his rabbinical office/study they discuss an empty folder on the rabbi's bookcase labeled "God". Religious Jews as this rabbi was, know not to spell out the deity's name, but write it as "G-d" instead.

Monte Carlo picture

Continuity mistake: Right at the ending of the opening credits, Amanda is walking to the podium to deliver the graduation speech. Her robe is open in the faraway shot, then when she says "We made it!" her scarf is over the robe, more closed than before, then cut to a faraway shot again and it's all the way open again, and then it goes on with her robe full closed. But in the faraway shot when Meg makes her way across the gym, you can see the grey of the skirt again. (00:03:30)

Cassadaga picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Lily is hiding behind Thomas' computer desk, she uses her little Eiffel tower necklace to put inside the socket to short out the power. When she goes to put it in, you can see the computer is plugged in on the bottom socket. After a really quick cut scene, the computer is now plugged in on the top socket. (01:05:00)

Ironclad picture

Factual error: Rochester Castle is seen standing alone and isolated from any other settlement. In actual fact it stands on the edge of the City of Rochester and very close to Rochester Cathedral, both of which certainly existed at this time.

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) picture

Factual error: In his crude attempt to replicate the Human Centipede surgical procedure, Martin employs several handyman tools, including a carpenter's staple gun (using T50 staples as sutures). Problem is, carpenter's staples would never join soft human body tissues, they'd pull right out with little effort (T50 staples only join to very solid base materials, such as wood). Martin's victims, hysterical as they were, could have freed themselves from the T50 staples almost immediately.

The Double picture

Continuity mistake: The agent and his sidekick are chasing somebody. The agent has no visible side arm on either right or left side. When he's running his jacket is in the air so it's visible he's unarmed. However, when he stops running he draws his side arm from his right hip. (00:36:30 - 00:37:30)

More The Double mistakes

Continuity mistake: Dr. Mario Tirelli at the beginning of the movie enters the clinic where he works. A blonde woman walks in the opposite direction and exits through the door as Tirelli briefly hails a nurse. At the cut, Tirelli is in the same spot as before (nothing changes in the background) but the blonde is back and with still a way to go before the door, and the nurse is far back too, with the doctor's hand not moving to greet her, in a different take entirely. (00:03:00)

We Have a Pope picture

Continuity mistake: The designated Pope has just been visited by a physician. Three cardinals want to take a stroll outside for some sweets and arts. One of the cardinals stands and rebukes them; you can see that the cross on his chest has its chain caught in a button of the vest. During the rest of the scene the chain is caught in that button in the closer views and is loose in the wider angles. (00:23:50)
