Flight Crew picture

Continuity mistake: The crew arrived at the volcanic island in turmoil, and are talking with the local captain. 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)

Love & Friendship picture

Continuity mistake: When Lady Susan is counseling her daughter Frederica in her bedroom, the shot shows an unlit candle on a dresser behind Lady Susan.

Ratchet and Clank picture

Other mistake: When Drek lands in New Quartu, his crashed shuttle is facing towards the Deplanitizer's direction. His shuttle should be facing the other way since he was launched straight to New Quartu.

Elvis & Nixon picture

Factual error: The limo shown is a 1990 (or later) Cadillac. It has large halogen headlamps and not the dual headlamps of a 70-71.

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.

Continuity mistake: Maudie lights herself a cigarette. There are 2 matchboxes on the railing of the porch. They disappear for the rest of the scene and Maudie's cardigan and dress do not have pockets. (00:02:35)

A United Kingdom picture

Factual error: The presidents of South Africa, South West Africa and the Rhodesias all object to Seretse and Ruth's marriage. But the head of state of all these countries and territories at the time was King George VI. None of them had presidents.

I.T. picture

Factual error: During the scene when Ed the I.T. guy is working on his laptop to fix the problem with the presentation, his laptop is sitting on top of a couple of Cisco network switches with cables connected to them. The ports on the front of the switch where the cables are plugged in would have flashing lights on to show power and connectivity, as well as lights on the left-hand side of the device as we are looking at it, no lights are present which suggests it is not powered up and connected to anything. (00:06:58)

Captain Fantastic picture

Factual error: Viggo is "playing" the bagpipes on the wrong side. They should be under his left arm, not his right. He is also not blowing hard enough to make the required sound. They sound good, though.

The Void picture

Continuity mistake: Throughout the movie, fire axes seem to be the weapons of choice. Only two fire axes are used, but they appear recurrently. In the very first use, the protagonists grab fire axes to butcher the monster called Beverly. Blood and gore go everywhere; yet, the axes emerge from this bloodbath with no blood or gore on the handles - they're virtually pristine moments later. The axes are used again and again, right up to the ending, and blood comes and goes from the axe handles seemingly at random.

20th Century Women picture

Continuity mistake: Mother and son run towards the store window as the Ford Galaxy is burning in the parking lot. At the end of the shot from behind, a woman with a lilac top and long brown hair comes into frame and leans against the vegetable stand. After the cut, with Jamie and the mom by the window, the same woman walks in again. (00:01:30)

A Street Cat Named Bob picture

Continuity mistake: Inside the vet's waiting room, James gets ticket 62. Not too bad considering in close-up the digital display shows they are serving patient 57. But after half an hour passed, in the background before he says "Bob, look, it's the month of the cat" the counter is at 51. (00:26:20)

Raman Raghav 2.0 picture

Factual error: The movie puts a caption in the prologue "January 2013." Later the protagonist puts the hammer he received by the mysterious delivery right on top of a newspaper, a copy of "Mid-Day" with a retouched opening article (related to the movie murder of course) but headline news with a Sunil Gavaskar quote that dates it as a December 2015 edition. (00:03:20 - 00:10:10)
