Aquaman picture Video

Deliberate mistake: Spoilers! When Black Manta is defeated, he is knocked unconscious and tumbles down a rock face after his helmet explodes on his face into the waters by the shores of Sicily. These currents and waves at best would have carried him to the rocks or the beach, leaving him on land or near it. However in the after credit scene he's somehow found out in the middle of the ocean on a broken drift wood. He would not have been carried back out to sea like that.

Suggested correction: The water is tidal. If the tide was going out, the current would take him out to sea.

There are hardly any tides in the Mediterranean Sea http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=995.

Peppermint picture

Deliberate mistake: An LAPD cop discharges his firearm a full size Glock which has a minimum magazine capacity of 13+1 for the Glock 21. The Glock 21 is approved LAPD issue along with other variants. He fires maybe three shots and the slide locks back signalling that it's dry. A second later the same cop is walking with the same empty Glock aimed towards the suspect which was shot at. It's visible that the slide is being held back by the slide stop since the magazine went dry. (01:29:58)

The Mule picture

Deliberate mistake: Earl attended the "2005 National Daylily Convention." The wording is not accurate, perhaps for purposes of brevity. There is no "National Daylily Society", but there is an "American Daylily Society." Likewise, there is no "National Daylily Convention", but there is a "National Convention for the Daylily Society." (Incidentally, the dates for 2022 are/were July 6 - 9). (00:03:43)

Mirage picture

Deliberate mistake: When Nico finds Hilda's body at the start of the movie, her left arm is shown next to her body, and her right arm is outstretched. When her death is shown later in the movie, both arms are outstretched when she lands on the floor. (00:05:50 - 01:30:55)

Anthem of a Teenage Prophet picture

Deliberate mistake: Luke had a box of T-shirts he designed and Faith reached into the box and removed the top T-shirt. Without looking at the size or even holding it up to her body to see if the T - shirt would fit, Faith asked, "How much?" Luke replied, "Ten" [dollars]. Faith reached into her pocket, pulled out a wad of bills and handed it to Luke without counting the money. Faith put the T-shirt on over her top and it was a "perfect fit." (00:03:55 - 00:04:37)

The Legend of Halloween Jack picture

Deliberate mistake: There is a wooden chair upside down on the floor, with legs that angle outward. Jack Cain is able to pick up a party-goer, throw him down from over his head, and spear the party-goer on the right side with two of the chair legs. The chair legs are still angled outward but will break off to the side from the force of the party-goer's back hitting them. (01:07:17)

Game Night picture

Deliberate mistake: When Michelle brings up the photo of "Fake Denzel" on her phone, she says she put it into a hidden folder. Problem? She only presses on her phone once (based on the sound you hear), and has the photo up and filling the screen within about one second. Totally preposterous. Obviously, it was done that way to keep the scene moving quickly... but there's no way a single button press and a timespan of about one second is going to bring up and maximize a photo from a hidden folder on her phone.

Suggested correction: The very faint click you hear could be her phone unlocking, so we don't know how often she taps the screen. That said, yes, it's unlikely she'd be able to access the photo that fast.

I don't understand this correction, because it literally just seems to reinforce the original mistake. Unlocking her phone wouldn't instantly bring up a photo in a hidden folder.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout picture

Deliberate mistake: When Walker leaves the tunnels in London and Hunt follows him, they both start their way to the Tate Modern Museum at Queens Head Passage / Paternoster Row. While Hunt is being chased and cannot choose his route, besides not knowing about Walker's destination, Walker deliberately takes a detour to Blackfriars Station and the bridge, even though he could just have walked a direct line from St. Paul's Cathedral towards Tate Modern using Millennium Bridge to directly cross to the museum and his getaway. The whole chase sequence would be obsolete. (01:31:58 - 01:36:56)

Kursk picture

Deliberate mistake: For dramatic purposes, the crew is shown surviving for several days. The investigators found evidence that the fire in the compartment occurred around six hours after the Kursk sank, and that the survivors had died before the first rescue attempt took place. They wouldn't have been saved even if the multinational team had been called in sooner.
