The Man from U.N.C.L.E. picture

Other mistake: During the "escape from East Berlin" sequence, Kuryakin fires a single shot at Gaby's car. Aside from the extremely unlikely possibility of hitting anything like a tire with a handgun from more than half a block away, we see just her left rear tire deflated and shredding off the rim. For the rest of the sequence, sparks fly from both rear wheels as she and Solo avoid capture.

The Big Short picture

Other mistake: The bank clerk with the grey hair, offering the cigarette and sitting back is supposed to work in "the late 70's" according to the narration. Surprised to see him again in the audience (front right) of the panel discussion on March 14, 2008, some 30 years later, looking not a year older. (00:01:35 - 01:53:40)

Room picture

Inside Out picture

Other mistake: When Riley and her parents arrive at their new home in San Francisco, several pieces of mail are sticking out of the mail slot in the door. A letter carrier would not deliver mail to a vacant house, let alone not push it all the way through the slot.

Trumbo picture

Other mistake: When Otto Preminger calls Trumbo from his car to announce that Trumbo's real name would be credited for Exodus, Preminger tells him to look at the front page of the New York Times. The problem is that Trumbo has already picked up the paper from his counter and is reading before Preminger even tells him which newspaper features the article.

Fantastic Four picture

Other mistake: If you look closely after the film leaps ahead a year, Reed's file on Ben lists his birthdate as 1986, but the prologue of the film which features Ben and Reed at roughly 10 years old each is set in 2007. The math doesn't add up.

Pay the Ghost picture

Other mistake: To prove his point to his wife, Mike searches a database for a certain date. It's the date of their son's birthday. Cage says "on July 15", but if you look at the screen, the search is for "past 6 years, April 27." It's a double mistake, since he then does another search, which produces different results...but on screen, the date is always the same one. (00:45:30)

The Boy Next Door picture

Other mistake: When Noah and Kevin go to the hardware store, the sign says "Calahan." In the end credits roll, Lexi Atkins' character is "Allie Callahan", 2 Ls. (00:06:05 - 01:23:10)

Spotlight picture

Other mistake: When Rezendes is interviewing abuse victim Patrick in Mitchell Garabedian's office, the books on the lower shelf behind Patrick contain reported court cases from California, New York and the Southern Reporter (covering Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana). But the events are unfolding in Boston, Massachusetts. No small law office in Boston would have these volumes in the library, because the cases in them would have no precedent or relevance for Massachusetts law and cases.

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! picture

Other mistake: When Finn is fighting the sharks in the shuttle, he doesn't have his helmet down - he is floating in the vacuum of space without any breathing apparatus. (01:19:55 - 01:20:25)

Bridge of Spies picture

Other mistake: When the US Student tries to get from the west to the east, one can see Volkspolizei and Kampfgruppen on one side of the wall and Westberlin Police on the other side of the wall. The camera pans, on the right side, brickies are busy with the wall (which should be the east side), a couple with child is running (why? They are already on the other side), camera pans further and shows the student pushing his bicycle. In the background are now NVA soldiers and an East German tank (see the markings). Isn't this the west side? It is definitely not the side the brickies are on, and the wall was built from the east side. I guess the soldiers and the tank are on the wrong side of the emerging wall.

The Hateful Eight picture

Other mistake: In the beginning of the film when the stage coach is approaching Minnie's haberdashery, a well-worn horse path when approaching the haberdashery but it's been snowing a long time, and there is not a lot of traffic going to the haberdashery so this path should not be so worn.

High-Rise picture

Other mistake: The protagonist is reading the booklet illustrating the wonders of his home. Something strange about it; the paragraph by the title "State of the art lift system", with a big lift icon to the side, has merely the first couple of lines talking about lifts, and then moves on, without any transition, to the subject of pets, adoption and all related matters. (00:03:35)

Suggested correction: If you are referring to the scene with the elderly woman, then previously her false teeth had been knocked out when Augie hits her when she's fighting with Carter.

The old lady didn't have teeth.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters picture

Other mistake: After Dr. Palmer and his friend Ryan have placed the miniature horses in the back of his truck, he drives off. After this, a robot runs past Ryan chasing after Dr. Palmer. The robot takes a shortcut through a forest and then leaps off a very tall cliff, but somehow Dr. Palmer's truck is directly below, driving at the bottom of the cliff, despite only driving off a couple of seconds ago. (00:13:30)

After she throws the breaker and is electrocuted, Frank after unsuccessfully trying to revive her removes her wedding band, which shows clear burn marks on her ring finger of her left hand. (00:32:00)
