Logan picture

Continuity mistake: When Pierce first begins to interrogate Caliban in the safe house in Mexico, a large portion of Caliban's albino makeup is smudged below his nose, revealing the actor's natural skin in his first close-up of the scene; after switching to a close-up of Pierce, then back to Caliban, the smudge has been fixed.

Justice League picture

Plot hole: When Cyborg tells his origin story, he says that the Mother Box in possession of the government was shelved till after the night when Superman died, when it came to life leading it to be studied by Cyborg's father, Silas. However, that contradicts the previous movie, Batman v Superman [both 1 h 39' and 2 h mark], where Batman came upon Luther's metahuman evidence file, including Silas Stone's vlog with the creation of Cyborg that Diana watches. (01:02:35)

Revenge picture

Other mistake: To stop herself from bleeding after removing the tree branch from her body, Jen heats the wrapper of a beer can and places it against the wound. Later it is revealed that doing this resulted in the logo being branded onto her skin. However, if the wrapper was placed on her skin and the logo was facing towards her, then the logo should have been mirrored, but it's not. (00:57:40 - 01:05:20)

The Foreigner picture

Audio problem: There are American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) calling in the distance during the initial pursuit for Quan in the forest behind the Belfast farmhouse, right after the trap door scene ends and we see two of Hennessy's men share a look. American crows do not exist in Ireland - only hooded crows, carrion crows, rooks, ravens and choughs.

The Mountain Between Us picture

Other mistake: Despite the up-to-date equipment used in the movie, Kate carries an old style film camera rather than a dslr. It was obviously so that she could develop the film later to realise her 'love'. At any rate, when going through her bag, she finds a roll of 35mm film to develop, but when the film is laid out on the light table for her to examine with a loupe, the film shown there is not 35mm. I think it was 126mm.

Sleepless picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Jamie Fox is stabbed. He goes to the men's room and the wound is on the right abdomen area as he applies the dressing to it. The rest of the movie shows him holding the left side of his abdomen area and the blood stains on his shirts also are also on the left side. (00:16:50 - 00:45:30)
