Ride Along 2 picture

Other mistake: In the hit on Port Commissioner Griffin at the beginning of the movie, he picks up the phone at 9:20 (office wall clock). When he is killed, there's a close-up of his phone that is totally, well, phony for many reasons. Most notably, the time of the call is stuck at 36 seconds even when the close-up lasts longer than a second. You can read also on top that the time is 1:44 PM, which is inconsistent with what shown earlier and with the fact that it's evening! It is also displayed as a Blocked Caller, too, which makes no sense. (00:02:10 - 00:03:00)

Ghostbusters picture

Other mistake: After the ghost "possesses" the building and blows out the windows, no shards of glass or debris land on the Ghostbusters as they get up to escape, even though there was plenty of time for the glass and debris to rain down on them.

Suggested correction: You can plainly see that the debris is actually flowing upwards in defiance of gravity. Spectral energy is running amok and the laws of physics are all over the place.

Nine Lives picture

Other mistake: Two security guards at Firebrand are shown watching a video of Tom, as Mr. Fuzzypants, jumping across a doorway and Lara and Madison attempting to catch him that Nicole filmed. The problem is, the camera angle shows an angle in front of Lara, Madison and the cat and Nicole filmed the video from behind the cat. Nicole can even be seen filming in the background of the video. There is still no way this footage could have been filmed from this angle. (01:15:55)

Billionaire Boy picture

Other mistake: When Warwick Davis shows Joe the form he's tricked his father into signing to allow him to transfer schools, the form is shown full screen. The "home" phone number is the same as that used in the school's letterhead, and there is text that says"insert name of fictitious school here." Also in this scene the name of the headmaster and phone number is visible, but none of those details match what is on the school's advertising board a couple of scenes later when Joe starts at his new school.

The two go on to talk for over 2 minutes of real time, and she says "it was so 10 minutes ago" when he quotes an earlier bit of the conversation; no matter how much time it passed, the clock did not advance. (00:02:10 - 00:04:10)

I, Daniel Blake picture

Other mistake: Daniel Blake in the first minutes of the movie is at the hospital taking an echocardiogram. On screen you can see the date of the test; 20/10/2015, so he took it on the 20th of October. The day goes on with Daniel visiting his coworkers, then he is at home, with BBC Radio Four saying it's twelve to 1:00 and broadcasting the first shipping forecast of the day for "Tuesday the 20th." (00:04:40 - 00:06:50)

The Monster picture

Other mistake: The tow truck driver says he has to repair the "split axle" before they can proceed. It wasn't clear what kind of truck he arrived in but the car could easily have been towed on the rear wheels on a wrecker and winched onto a flatbed.

A Street Cat Named Bob picture

Other mistake: After a month of suspension, James can finally sell again The Big Issue. The issue he carries in the street though, is issue 1174, from early October 2015. Besides the anachronism, the first issue he was selling, well over a month before, was number 1175. (01:16:00)

Death Al Dente: A Gourmet Detective Mystery picture

Other mistake: Mateo shows the tram ticket to Maggie; date and time (March 3, 2016, 13:23) are not valid to prove an alibi for a murder happened at the end of February at quarter to 1 pm - not when the person said that they already were at the location where the tram supposedly took them. (00:51:40)

Other mistake: Alice is running behind the armored cars. Once she manages to get on top of the car, suddenly the zombies that were only behind her and nowhere near the car are found at the sides too, attacking a guard and later Alice as well. Not possible considering if zombies were able to get there, they would have killed Alice while she was running.
