Ice Age: Collision Course picture Video

Plot hole: When the dome of crystal collapses, all the animals inside immediately grow old, including Brook, implying that the magic from the crystals is completely gone. However, when a tiny piece of crystal lands in the hot spring, it creates a 'fountain of youth' which the animals then bathe in to regain their youth. If that little piece of crystal worked, then why didn't the many crystals from the broken dome still work? Also, how is Brook able to leave the fountain of youth and go looking for Sid at the end of the movie without growing old?

Suggested correction: I don't see it. He picks 3 arrows, shoots 3 arrows, and 3 arrows hit.

Sammo

Sometimes he shoots 2 at a time. He does shoot 3 times, but he shoots five arrows.

The correction is valid. He never shoots 2 arrows at once. You may need to watch in slow motion if you can't see what happened. He grabs 3 arrows with his right hand and keeps them in his hand as he shoots 1 arrow at a time. This is probably most obvious on the 2nd shot where you see the 2 arrows in the bow, but when he releases his hand, you see one arrow still in his right hand and 1 arrow leaving the bow.

Bishop73

He starts holding all 3 arrows, shoots 1, reloads holding 2, shoots 1, then reloads and shoots the last arrow.

Warcraft picture

Revealing mistake: In the opening scenes, we see a very pregnant Draka reclining on a bed of animal hides as Durotan watches over her. In the extreme closeup, we see Draka twitch her lips, and her small tusks flex from side-to-side with her lips, instead of remaining firmly aligned with her jaw as they should.

Rising Fear picture

Revealing mistake: Set in Pittsburgh, PA, scenes were obviously filmed out of sequence. Many scenes were "out of sync" with the snowfall, whether in progress or amount (if any) already accumulated. For example, there was no snow downtown, but views from the helicopter showed snow-cover around the nearby parkway (Route 376). In another scene, it was snowing when Ryan turned his Jeep into a downtown road that was covered with at least one inch of snow; switching to a "live" newscast, the sun was shining outside.

Kill Ratio picture

Continuity mistake: After the credits, Tom Hopper sees and hears a bunch of helicopters and calmly walks indoors. He then addresses the waiter raising his left hand before the cut. In the next wide shot though we see him with a right hand raised that reaches for the champagne tray and grabs a glass. He says "Thank you" in a third shot, same angle as the first one, and in fact, the champagne flute is in his left hand now. (00:02:50)

Sleight picture

Continuity mistake: The gang Bo is reluctantly part of gets to Maurice's crib where he is playing cards with his homies. The red jacketed one is defiant, and grabs a handful of red and blue chips in front of him tossing them in Angelo's face. But if you check out of the table in the wide shots before this occurs, you'll notice that red chips were never in the stack in front of him to begin with. (00:19:05)

The captain asks them to carry also some of the dead people, and they start asking him what the plan is, if there's one at all. The pass at the neck of the captain shows the side with the symbol in one shot, the blank one in the next. (00:25:10)
