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.

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)

Continuity mistake: While Jim is narrating his story, he gets to the point when his son was hit by a drunk driver.

The Wicked Gift picture

Revealing mistake: The bartender (Kateryna Korchynska) offers Ethan two lattes on the house. She hands them to him, and he walks out. No opacity from the liquid can be seen inside the plastic cups, and when he is moving away from the counter he leans forward quite a bit, showing the inside of the cups, squeaky clean. (00:08:00)

The Book of Henry picture

Character mistake: Principal Wilder told Henry she would not subject Glenn to public scrutiny "without conclusive evidence." Wilder noticed Christina's hesitation and partial emotional breakdown during her ballet dance at the talent show and suddenly believed Christina might be an abused child. Much of Christina's body/skin was exposed wearing the dress, but no bruises (concrete evidence) were visible. Christina's temporary difficulty could have easily been due to stage fright, but Wilder called CPS. (00:21:23 - 01:27:00)
