The Greatest Showman picture

Other mistake: When Jenny Lind is on stage singing 'Never Enough' during her American debut, she is in a very large theater with a crowded audience, and full orchestra. Obviously she would have to be miced, and have her voice amplified, for such a large space. When she is actually singing, her character's voice (or rather the dubbed voice of Loren Allred) is greatly amplified, with sound effects. But during this actual scene, there is no microphone or amplification system present. She does not have a microphone stand in front of her. There is no microphone hanging from the ceiling, or anywhere on stage that we can see. Technology was limited at that time, so she would not be using any type of cordless headset, or wireless microphone, which cannot be seen anyway. Her character's voice is obviously amplified a great deal through a microphone, which doesn't seem to exist.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul picture

Other mistake: When Rodrick and Greg bought groceries, there was one bag of "Cheez Curlz" and it ended up in the hot tub at the motel. They weren't shown buying another bag yet they had one when the pigeons "attacked."

Blade Runner 2049 picture

Other mistake: In the trailing credits, the 2nd song, "Cloud" references the word "preformed" rather than "performed". (02:41:40)

Dismissed picture

Other mistake: The courses on Lucas' grade report are not given numbers or specific titles that would distinguish them from other courses (and levels) within a department. They are listed in general categories: "American History" (a minor distinction), "Calculus", "Chemistry", "English", and "French." A cover page for one of Lucas' assignments shows he was enrolled in "English 301" - still no descriptive title, but at least discernible from "English 101" and "English 201." (00:23:00 - 00:51:54)

Christmas Inheritance picture

Other mistake: When Ellen gets back to the inn after fetching the homeless guy, her coat has barely any snow on it when she enters. With the kind of snowstorm shown, she should have a ton of it. Same if not worse for Jake who came in before her. He has some snow on his arms, but none on his back - and he spent his time outside packing firewood with no time to wipe clean. (00:46:20)

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.

Beauty and the Beast picture

Other mistake: During the final fight, apparently Mrs. Potts can hold dozens of liters of boiling water inside herself.

Thor: Ragnarok picture

Other mistake: When Loki gets up from being thrown during the "get help" scene, he seems too far to the left of the screen (Thor's right). Thor is still looking down to his left at the fallen guards, and in the previous shot we saw that Loki fell amongst them as he knocked them down.

The Boss Baby picture

Other mistake: When Boss Baby drools on the file at Puppy Co. he is not nearly close enough for the drool to hit the file.

Murder on the Orient Express picture

Other mistake: When Hercule Poirot is interviewing Mary outside the train, the teapot in the middle of the table has a spout (pointing directly to the right, towards Mary) but no handle on top or the opposite side, towards Poirot, where the handle should have been.

Phantom Thread picture

Other mistake: When poison is first put in the pot of tea, the first shot of breakfast shows Woodcocks sister stirring her tea which presumably is from the same pot, but she showed no sign of poisoning.

Small Town Crime picture

Other mistake: The private investigator has a full size Glock. The Glock 21 which is a .45 ACP has the lowest magazine capacity of 13 rounds. The 9mm capacity for the Glock 17 is 17 rounds. The PI exchanges gun fire and after he fires 7 rounds, his gun runs dry. Makes no sense to bring a half empty gun to a fight, plus he just got it back from his brother-in-law. (01:05:00 - 01:06:00)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri picture

Other mistake: Anne makes the Oscar Wilde joke right before Bill kills himself, but he mentions it in the suicide note, which he obviously wrote long before.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: He wrote 2 letters, a longer one in the dresser drawer that he had spent time writing, and one that he wrote immediately before going to kill himself, explaining what he had done. The shorter one (referencing the Oscar Wilde joke) was written that evening while his wife was asleep on the couch.

Suggested correction: What evidence is there that he didn't write the suicide not that day?

It doesn't matter if he did, the point is he definitely wrote it before the Oscar Wilde joke. Right after the joke, he goes to the barn and kills himself. Anne is still on the couch, she hears the gunshot, she gets up and finds the note.

MikeH

Anne is on the couch, then it cuts to him in the barn. He could have easily written his note between the two shots.

The Book of Henry picture

Other mistake: Henry and Peter got on the school bus in the morning and Susan picked them up after school. Parents often drive their kids to/from school, even when busses are available. Busses usually aren't available for students within short walking distances to school. The day Peter looked "lost" when school let out, Christina walked him home. This indicates the school is close - close enough that Susan wouldn't need to speed to home and back during the talent show or take 45 minutes to execute the plan. (00:02:48 - 00:51:39)

Freedom Fighters: The Ray picture

Other mistake: After Ray patches up his shoulder from being shot, he heads out answering a call from Jacob. As he's talking he gets hit in the neck by a sleep dart and his phone is shown. The screen still shows an incoming call, rather than one in progress. (00:38:20)

Justice League picture

Other mistake: The security guard alerts Batman about Barry Allen's arrival pushing a button on his phone. The date on the phone says it's Friday 20th Jan, which is coherent with the year (2017) this version of the movie is set in, but too early for the K-pop "As if it's your last" music video playing in Flash's lair (it was a summer release). (00:16:50)

The Snowman picture

Other mistake: When Harry Hole gets a call but isn't there to answer, Katrine Bratt picks up the phone and takes a message. Rebecca from Telenor Security tell her they picked up a cellphone signal from a missing person. She tells her the coordinates as Parkway 1, 0139 Oslo. On Katrine Bratt's computer you see the coordinates as Parkway 1, 0350 Oslo. (01:13:15)

Security picture

Other mistake: Introducing the workplace to the new employee (Banderas), Vance says that the mall has never been updated because it has everything "Menswear, kidswear, ladieswear, cosmetics." The Italian dub misinterprets the last word (probably figuring it was 'medics'), and so the mall has the rather unlikely lineup; "Menswear, kidswear, ladieswear, doctors." (00:14:20)

The Twin picture

Other mistake: Derek changed into Tyler's clothes to escape the hospital and take on Tyler's identity. However, it does not look like he remembered to put his blue hospital ID band onto Tyler's right wrist. Hospital bands are usually securely on and not easily removed (or removable without breaking them). When the nurse was removing Derek's (actually, Tyler's) wrist restraints, there was no blue hospital ID band on his right wrist. He asked, "How do I prove to you who I really am?" (No ID band!). (00:21:30 - 00:24:37)
