White House Down picture

Other mistake: After the sprinklers go off in the White House, none of the actors' clothes are wet. With the amount of water sprayed, all of them should have their clothes stuck to their bodies. (01:25:00)

Philomena picture

Other mistake: When Philomena and the journalist are waiting to board a return flight from Washington to London, he calls his office in London where a clock shows it is 8:55. That would make it 3:55 in D.C. It can't be 3:55 pm because it is dark; so it has to be 3:55 am. And no flights leave for London until 3 or 4 hours later.

World War Z picture

Other mistake: When the family's car is being hit by the ambulance, we see Gerry's head bouncing around by the impact in a close-up. Camera angle is from inside (approximately from the centre armrest). We see out his window, and there is nothing there. The camera angle changes to an exterior shot, and its clear that the position of the ambulance hitting the car should have made the ambulance visible from the interior camera. (00:08:05)

Prisoners picture

Other mistake: When Detective Loki is researching the article detailing Keller's father's death, the date on the computer is 2/27/2013. This takes place shortly after Thanksgiving, which would set the movie in late November or early December, not February. (01:25:05)

What If picture

Other mistake: When Wallace is listening to the old voice mail message from Megan, it shows Megan's phone number as 416-555-0977. When Wallace looks at the phone number that Chantry gives him, it's the same number - 416-555-0977. (00:01:00 - 00:06:25)

Other mistake: After Carrie levitates herself and goes outside, there's a wet spot on the concrete that's the size of both her feet, showing her landing spot from previous takes.

Suggested correction: Although the film was made by an American studio, that is British (and old American) spelling.

Leicaman

I'm British - no it isn't. The point is the umlauts on top of the second O, which isn't how "coordinator" should be spelled.

Suggested correction: For whatever reason, it was done intentionally (which would be the Dutch spelling of the word). Every "coördinator" is spelled that way, which appears at least 8 times in the credits.

The Book Thief picture

Other mistake: Liesel goes to live with Papa and Mama in 1937, and starts attending school. About half way through the movie, 1942, Mama goes to school to tell her that Max was okay. Liesel is still sitting in the same chair and with the same teacher as in 1937, and the kids around her have not changed a bit.

Safe Haven picture

Other mistake: When the husband breaks into the old lady's house and checks her voicemail, it says that Katie left a voicemail Monday at 11:47am. When the husband calls the restaurant, the recording says they are open from Tuesday to Sunday. So Katie shouldn't have been at work.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty picture

Other mistake: When Sean Penn is about to let Ben Stiller look through his camera at the 'Ghost Cat' he bumps the camera. They are very far away from the animal and any bump of the camera would A) be immediately noticed by the worlds best photographer and B) move the subject very far out of frame.

Elysium picture

Other mistake: Near the beginning, Max rises and prepares to leave for work, the only scene in which we see his bare torso. As he moves toward the camera through some rather odd under-lighting, it is obvious that his six-pack abs are airbrushed.

The Fifth Estate picture

Other mistake: Assange and Berg are talking to each other on Skype, and we see Assange and the view of him on Berg's screen at the same time. Even allowing for a delay, the orientation of Assange's head and his mouth movements don't correspond with those on screen. (00:29:40)

Saving Mr. Banks picture

Other mistake: Travers arrives in Los Angeles and is seen at the airport and the hotel a short time later with just a small suitcase and a smaller carry-on bag, yet she has far too many clothes-suits, dresses, skirts, sweaters, blouses, sleepwear, shoes, and other accessories-than could possibly fit in them. She is seen leaving L.A. with an additional suitcase, but the third one appears to be one that is just used for carrying the big Mickey Mouse stuffed toy she takes back to London.

Suggested correction: There's nothing saying that she had to have taken all those clothes with her. It's possible that she had more clothes sent on afterwards. Maybe the extra clothes belonged to the hotel/studio etc. Maybe they were rented. Who knows? Just because it's not explained, doesn't make it a mistake.

The Haves and the Have Nots: The play picture

Other mistake: After his wife says she can get him a job with her boss, Frank steps off to the right side of the stage acting unsure of it due to his pride. When he goes there, some sort of blue light suddenly illuminates his body that was not there before.

The Butler picture

Other mistake: When Cecil and Gloria are having their birthday celebration, before they are informed of Charlie's death, Cecil goes to the refrigerator to open a bottle of champagne. We hear the distinct pop of a cork from a bottle of sparkling wine, so we know he chose that bottle, but when he enters the living room a few seconds later, he is holding a glass of non-sparkling wine (no bubbles are visible).

August: Osage County picture

Other mistake: When Ms Nicholson's boyfriend arrives in a bus, a digital clock is showing a temperature of 104°. Yet this man, as soon as he gets off the bus, puts on a woolen jacket over the shirt and tie he's wearing.
