The Beyond picture

Other mistake: The Space Agency is trying to use an android mechanism (Human 2.0) to go to The Void and make first contact. Their first attempt at putting a human brain into the android fails. The solution is to make the android mechanism imprint human cells to facilitate the brain/android connection. The Agency is up against a time constraint, and someone comes up with the idea of using military Humans 2.0 to go on the voyage. Wait a minute! So now we learn there are other Humans 2.0 in existence? Wouldn't whoever made those already know how to solve the human brain/android interface? Why is the Space Agency reinventing the wheel?

Valentine's Again picture

Continuity mistake: When Kat wakes up for the second go-around of Valentine's Day (the first repetition), she scoffs at the text from Bradley, her date who bailed on her. When the text is inserted onscreen, it matches the original day's, mentioning their planned dinner and first in-person meeting. When her phone's actual screen is shown, the text from Bradley is an invitation to breakfast. They never had or planned a breakfast. The wording is very similar to Danny's invitation at the end of the movie.

Jasper Jones picture

Continuity mistake: Charlie was standing in the hole he dug and his head was below ground-level, but when Eliza was talking to him, Charlie's head was above-ground. Half of Charlie's back was above-ground when his mother [Toni Collette] was outside. Front views of Charlie standing in the hole still showed him against dirt (head below surface-level) even after he was just shown with his head above-ground. (00:51:10 - 00:51:46)

(00:01:40)

More Victor Crowley mistakes

Factual error: Emmanuelle Devos goes to the airport to get her husband and daughter. Their plane landed at 7 PM (18:58 to be precise) as shown by the airport monitor. They get a cab to a hotel downtown, and then there's a scene when she books a restaurant from the hotel room. She tells her husband, who just took a shower, that they need to be at the restaurant at 8 PM. Her husband says that there's no rush then, since it's only 7 PM. Of course that's impossible, the Turin airport is about 20km away from the part of the city they are driving through, which at that hour has also significant traffic; if their plane landed at 7, at 8 PM they would hardly have any time left to spare. (00:29:00)
