Sabotage picture

Revealing mistake: Late on in the film; Arnie and the female officer kick in the door to one of his teams house. Unfortunately Arnie is in his 70s now and not as agile as he used to be, the door was open and simply pushed hard. Look at the door, it has no damage and neither does the frame. Also, the door barely opens past a hard push. As tactically trained operatives they would not have pushed the door if it was ajar either, they would have opened it slowly to avoid startling anyone inside and warning them.

Open Windows picture

Continuity mistake: When Nick is instructed to leave hotel room #700 Chord verbally tells him to "go outside and turn right." but the on-screen arrow points left and we see Nick turn left. (00:29:39)

Lupin the 3rd picture

Factual error: In the opening heist, the gang of thieves wants to steal "The Medal of Zeus." A plate at the museum explains that in Ancient Greece, Olympic champions were awarded olive wreaths, up to the 88th Olympics in 424 BC, when a golden medal was given to the victor for the first time. This last bit about gold medals is just made up by the movie. But it also gets the timeline wrong; the 88th Olympics were in 428 BC. 424 BC is when the 89th games took place. (00:03:30)

Young Ones picture

Continuity mistake: The appearance/structure of the ground-level components of the well changes several times. In the first view, the unit is mostly gray and rusty with one vertical white pipe. When Ernest is pumping, half of the horizontal pipe is also white and clean. In the rear view, the vertical pipe is brown and rusty. Some mud spurts out of the spigot, but the spigot is clean, dry, and white in the front view. (00:05:10)

A Walk Among the Tombstones picture

Factual error: A scene shows a 1980's Ford Crown Victoria with New Jersey license plates. They start with QQ which means it's registered as a historic vehicle which means it has to be at least 25 years old. The film is set in 1999.

Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever picture

In the Blood picture

Continuity mistake: Treat Williams is drinking a brown liquid from a glass (scotch?) while accusing Gina Carano of having something to do with his son's disappearance. Shortly afterwards, the liquid is a different color and the glass is much more full. (00:41:40 - 00:42:40)

Seventh Son picture

Continuity mistake: Near the end, Thomas is saddling a horse. He throws the stirrup over the saddle so he can cinch the girth. But he is interrupted by the presence of the witch he loves. Somehow, the horse has had its girth cinched and the stirrup is in its proper place, all without Thomas' help.

Robot Overlords picture

Continuity mistake: When the kids are looking at the Stonehenge-type structures, the younger boy calls for everybody to come and see the hidden message. From the shot in front of the boy you can tell from his body position he's sitting up, however in the next shot from overhead, the boy is now lying down on the rock.

Zombie Fight Club picture

Other mistake: After the longest introduction ever, a text crawl (in English in the original version too) details the event leading to the titular fight club. It says that the city fell "A PART" and the institution "IS COLLAPSED." Also, it warns us; "cannibalistic zombies are malformed." (00:59:30)

Good People picture

Plot hole: Tom told I.D. Halden, "My grandmother passed a few years ago and we inherited the family house." If there was a mortgage, who was paying it for a couple years? And if the house was inherited, there would not be a landlord, they would not be paying "rent", and owners do not get served with an eviction notice. (There was no mention of a legitimate reason, such as unpaid taxes.) There's a failure to discern home ownership (with a mortgage) from renting a house (which is not "inherited").

Suggested correction: It seems to be that it is about two different houses, the rented one they already live in, and the inherited one which is renovated.

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead picture

Factual error: Just like in the previous movie, Herzog is referred to as "colonel", in particular in the WWII museum where Martin reads about his history. But both in the museum's picture of him, and throughout the movie, Herzog is wearing the uniform of a SS Standartenführer. To hold a title of Oberst (colonel), he would have been a member of the Wehrmacht, regular army, not SS.

Sniper: Legacy picture

Factual error: The British Major is wearing a RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) cap badge (incorrectly mounted). Really, not a British Army Corps known for their sniping skills.

Saints and Soldiers: The Void picture

Factual error: The three panzers that ambushed the Hellcats are supposed to be Mk. III's with the 50mm gun, but they only had 5 bogie wheels, instead of 6, and no driver or radio operator's hatches.

Mercenaries picture

Factual error: When the high-ups at the Pentagon are looking at the profiles of the terrorists, Ulrika's profile contains a minor spelling mistake ("Americas" instead of the possessive form), but the fun is in her henchman's file. The guy is named "Grigori Babishkova", which is laughable since "-ova" is the female suffix for Slavic last names, he should be "Babishkov." The Nationality field lists him as being "Russian/Caucasian." Caucasian is not a 'nationality'. (00:05:05)
