Bright picture

Plot hole: The world depicted features magic, an evil overlord who 2,000 years before tried to conquer the world, and several races. Despite these HUGE differences with our world, everything turns out of the same as our world, with nations as they are now, and a casual mention of the Alamo and "Mexicans still getting shit" for it. So our current history has not been altered a single bit by wizards, dragons and super-strong races roaming the Earth. Fine. In this ungodly implausible context, orcs live with humans in cities that mirror ours; humans and elves don't trust them, but still they live in towns with them, they go to schools, run businesses, half of the NFL is formed by orcs. Even the movie Shrek exists! And yet, at the end of the movie Nick Jakoby becomes the first Orkish police officer in the USA! There is just no way a society like this, mirroring closely our own and with orcs that existed as long as humans did, can exist with no orc ever been part of law enforcement.

The Humanity Bureau picture

Continuity mistake: When Noah and Adam are talking and Noah is playing with his fishing pole he is reeling it in. It cuts to a close up as he talks about his mother taking him to Canada and suddenly his left arm is pulled back a bit and he's holding the pole much closer to his body. (00:08:20)

Power Rangers picture

Plot hole: After Rita kills Billy, why didn't any of the other rangers do something to help him? They could have very easily done CPR on him or at least called for an ambulance.

Suggested correction: (1) they did...they took him to Zordon. (2) These are high school kids. Have you ever seen any slasher flick before? Not every HS kid knows CPR.

DetectiveGadget85

Every high school lifeguard that ever existed.

Suggested correction: They may have not been in range with cellphone towers to get a good enough signal. Also, they had superpowers including super strength so doing CPR on Billy would have been very dangerous and would have probably hurt him even more.

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)

My Pet Dinosaur picture

Continuity mistake: When the boy wakes up in the middle of the night after first hearing the dinosaur, his alarm clock reads 2:0x (its not clear but the digit segments on show imply it's either 2:05 or 2:06). The next time we see the clock it's 2:02, then two scenes later when the dinosaur decides to and then does jumps off the table the clock now reads 2:22.

Lovers: Piccolo Film Sull'amore picture

Continuity mistake: In the first episode, the cold Federico is shaken by the first approach with the bookstore owner Giulia. When he comes back inside the store, the woman is leaning against the corner of table when the camera is in front of her, she isn't in the shots from the back of the store. (00:04:30)

Downrange picture

Factual error: Following the blowout, Sara's phone is shown several times as being connected to Wi-Fi with a full Wi-Fi signal. Being in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by hills, it's highly unlikely there would be a public Wi-Fi connection for her to connect to.

The House picture

Continuity mistake: When Bob finds Scott and Kate at his office with the money and runs at them, he slams into a frame at the end of the hall breaking the glass. It cuts to a different angle and suddenly he's slamming into it again but the single sound effect is still playing. (01:14:41)

The Only Living Boy in New York picture

Continuity mistake: With awkward timing that brings the table conversation to a screeching halt, Thomas says that "New York lost its soul." The woman next to him was having a glass of wine, but it is down on the table in the next shot. George also has his glass raised (we see it in foreground when Thomas explains himself) but it's on the table in the wider angle. (00:11:20)
