Appleseed Alpha picture

Plot hole: The main plot of the film involves Iris and Olson's mission: Destroying the Mobile Fortress 000. But Iris is a special gynoid. Her primary function is to activate the Mobile Fortress. The antagonist of this film could unleash calamity if he had Iris and the fortress. So, which idiot has sent Iris on this mission? The logical course was to send a demolition team, or better yet, send no-one at all. Anything is better than sending the activation key outside the safety of the Olympus.

Son of Batman picture

Factual error: After Batman hits the Manbats with his sonar batterangs and they go nuts trying to escape the sound, some begin chewing at the glass separating them from the ocean in their desperation. This is in the under workings of an oil rig out in the ocean. Hundreds of pounds of pressure is on that glass. The Manbats chew through the glass, and then the water begins rushing in. All logic and laws of physics dictate that the Manbats would be pushed back, down into the oil rig further as water rushes in. However, as the water begins pouring in, 3 Manbats are somehow pushed out of the hole into the water, and are sitting still, long enough for a shark to grab one. Even if they did somehow manage to get out like that despite physics, the water rushing in the hole would have caused a vacuum and sucked them right back in. Yet they remain perfectly still in the water, only a couple feet or so away from the hole they just made.

Character mistake: Nikki lost her insulin kit and needs insulin. Her mother suggests getting her a fruit juice, something sweet. Fruit juice contains a large amount of sugar which raises blood sugar levels very quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes are usually best to avoid drinking fruit juice. Her suggestion is absurd.

Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie picture

Revealing mistake: About seven minutes in, during the scene where we see Cooper helping the Nerd as a cameraman, you can tell that Cooper has been added to the scene using green-screen effects, as the actor was unavailable to shoot at the location. The lighting on Cooper doesn't quite match the lighting of the scene, and you can see a slight "blur/feathering effect" around him where the greenscreen background was removed.

Outcast picture

Other mistake: In some international versions (German, Italian) the movie is titled "The Last Templar", which does not fit at all the proposed 12th century timeframe.
