Batman: Gotham by Gaslight picture Batman: Gotham by Gaslight mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Jason lunges at Batman with his knife, there is a pile of garbage by the wall where he lands. In the first shot the barrel by the garbage is wooden. But in the next shot it's suddenly a metal barrel/drum. It then changes back to a wooden barrel again. (00:04:20)

Eruption: LA picture

Other mistake: The remaining four people at the power plant are evacuating ahead of the explosion of the bomb they set. They are running towards the helicopter to escape. The scene shows the helicopter with the rotors already turning. But there is no-one on board, much less a pilot to have started the helicopter. (01:21:10)

Bloodline picture

Continuity mistake: After a camera shift while talking to Mr. C, Chris' jersey was pulled down more over his pants (lap), but his hands were pre-occupied playing with the string on his hooded sweatshirt. (00:06:35 - 00:06:58)

The Toybox picture

Continuity mistake: The aerial view of what is to one side of the RV is different from the ground view. From the air, there is a highway with two lanes in each direction with parking along the side, just off the sidewalk where Drake left his bike. From the ground, there is a 3' cement wall and black railing with greenery behind it. A white house (not in the aerial view) can be seen and there is room for a one-lane road, but the white house would have been on the highway if in the aerial view. (00:05:24)

Deep Blue Sea 2 picture

Other mistake: A female bull shark has between 1-13 pups. The exact number in the movie is questionable (due to their speed), but appeared to be well over the maximum 13 and perhaps closer to double this amount. Classified as "other" instead of "factual" mistake because the mother shark's DNA was altered, which could possibly explain a higher number of pups per pregnancy. (01:03:20 - 01:06:40)

The Clovehitch Killer picture

Continuity mistake: The clothes Tyler and Kassi were wearing at Kassi's house were not the same when Kassi came to dinner that day at the Burnside's house. It seems unlikely that BOTH would change clothes before dinner. (00:31:49 - 00:32:40)

Suggested correction: Apparently they did. It was probably Tyler's idea, presenting Kassi in the best possible light to assuage suspicion and maintain his image as a good Christian Boy Scout.

Audio problem: It isn't clear what the woman was saying while she was kissing Frank, but it would not have been possible for her to be vocalizing any words while her lips were on Frank's. When they were done kissing, her last word did not match her mouth movement. (01:28:10)

A Dark Place picture

Deliberate mistake: The movie is set in "Harburg County", Pennsylvania, but there is no county in Pennsylvania called "Harburg." (00:13:38)

Replicas picture

Character mistake: Immediately after the crash, when Reeves is carrying his youngest child Sophie, the actress opens up her mouth, even though she has already drowned. (00:14:43)

More Replicas mistakes
SuperFly picture

Continuity mistake: When Priest and Georgina throw the molotov cocktails at Juju from the balcony, watch closely - right as Priest throws the second molotov cocktail and the camera cuts from a bird's eye to a ground-level angle, the position of the two men and the carpet they're standing on changes between cuts.

Summer of 84 picture

Revealing mistake: Davey at the beginning of the movie is looking at the newspaper he's delivering to Mr. Wayne Mackey. Just from a glance at the page you can tell that something is off, since the article supposedly about a missing boy appears to be written entirely in first person. Upon closer inspection, turns out that it's filler text from chapter IV of Robert Louis Stevenson' s "Treasure Island". (00:01:30)

Kursk picture

Factual error: When the saturation divers open the outer hatch on Kursk, they drop a glow stick. When they do, it falls to the floor on the submarine, indicating the inner hatch was open. The inner hatch of Kursk was closed, later opened by an ROV.

7 Days in Entebbe picture

Other mistake: The Israeli commandos are painting an orange Mercedes black using brushes. In later scenes the car has perfect factory finished black paintwork.

The Bouncer picture

Continuity mistake: When Lukas is looking in the bathroom mirror, the upper half of his laceration looks about three times the width of the lower half. When he exits the bathroom, the laceration looks like one line with the same width. (00:15:45)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Shamsher at the beginning of the movie steps out of the helicopter with one door open, but when he brings across the other leg both of the large doors are suddenly open at the cut. (00:03:00)
