Fear of Rain picture

Other mistake: When searching the missing kids database, the date given for when Malia went missing is 7th January 2021. When Rain receives a text message from Caileb the message is dated April 18 2019. (00:56:11 - 01:13:11)

The Card Counter picture

Other mistake: William Tillich (AKA Bill Tell) had one suitcase which could not possibly hold enough sheets (or thin blankets) to cover/wrap all the furniture in his motel room like he did. (His suitcase was not very large and also contained his clothes.) He covered an even larger area of furniture in Gordo's house. It isn't clear if he used his own sheets or just happened to find the same kind in Gordo's house.

The Forgiven picture

Other mistake: Right before the "Y" in the road, it could be seen that Richard's speedometer was pointing to the far left, indicating that he was driving at a low speed, such as 5 - 10 MPH. When Richard was looking at the damage to the car, he said, "Smashed headlights, smashed bumper. Must have been going at a fair clip." The damage to the car, as well as Driss' death from the impact, seem severe at such a low speed. (00:07:40 - 00:16:09)

Apex picture

Other mistake: When the helicopter was flying toward and over Apex Island, the helicopter (as well as the similarly-sized box) was about 1/10 or 1/12 the width of the island. In the next view, from almost ground-level, the helicopter was about as wide as one pine tree. (00:10:30)

Venom: Let There Be Carnage picture

Other mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Shriek reads an article mentioning that Cletus' story is "coming to an end", and Eddie is credited with uncovering "what the FBI and police could not " That doesn't fit with Eddie supposedly down on his luck and badly needing a scoop; and in fact the tagline is the same that will appear in printed and audio news later when Eddie does rise to fame again by discovering the bodies. Also, the article talks about Eddie Brock, but somehow is WRITTEN BY Eddie Brock.

Safe House 1618 picture

Other mistake: Blood gushed out of the bound man's lower inner arms that were slit with a knife from below the elbow to the wrist (then turned toward the ground). A switch to an aerial view showed no additional blood dripping (while he was still alive). Also, blood would not pour out of his arms to the ground in a horizontal stream like it did. (00:02:04 - 00:02:27)

The Ice Road picture

Other mistake: Liam Neeson jumps into ice water to rescue his brother. He then painfully pulls his brother into the cab of the truck. Inside, he revives his brother after which they have a lengthy conversation. Liam's Mike McCann never starts the truck engine or turns the heater up, even though he and his brother are soaked to the skin and the brother is coughing up ice water from his lungs. In the next scene, both appear dry, in the same clothing, with no signs of hypothermia.

Black Friday picture

Other mistake: The time line seemed off. Ken brought his daughters to his parents' house and it appeared to be morning (not dusk). One asked why he had to work on Thanksgiving. When Ken picked up Chris to go to work, Chris' parents were just finishing their Thanksgiving dinner. At work, Marnie said, "I can't believe I missed Thanksgiving with my family..." The group of employees shared slices of turkey luncheon meat - "No one should be without Thanksgiving." The store opened at 9:00 PM - well after dinner.

Stowaway picture

Other mistake: When Zoe Levenson first looks out the window from the spaceship, the earth is from the bottom moving towards the top, this is opposite to the ship spinning direction, which can be determined by the direction of the gravity. (00:12:50)

The Matrix Resurrections picture

Other mistake: Neo and Trinity are pushed by a horde of zombie-like bots inside a "kill-zone." A helicopter fires rockets at them. In the wide angle of the cars blowing up, the second pair of cars explodes without any rocket CGI effect added. It's like they just blow up spontaneously. (02:06:25)

The Guilty picture

Other mistake: Phone shows calls received at 10:28PM (which happened minutes before the scene) and yet the phone says it's 2:11. (00:36:26)

Those Who Wish Me Dead picture

Other mistake: At the school, a police officer told Owen, "Let's go" (move his vehicle). Owen tells Connor "We're playing hooky", makes a sharp turn, speeds past three school buses parked along the road, and passes a police office and school crossing guard (who didn't seem to notice). School zones have 15 MPH limits and police take speeding in these areas very seriously. A motorists violating in a school zone like Owen did would be pursued and cited with multiple offenses. (00:05:40)

Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop picture

Other mistake: When the men lift the body bag out of the boat, the body bag looks dry and there is no water dripping. (01:06:47)

The Misfits picture

Other mistake: Narrating, Ringo said "Let me be clear. I never steal from people who don't deserve it." He was in a bank's safety deposit room, which was full of hundreds (if not thousands) of safety deposit boxes. Ringo was selecting specific boxes from among those along the wall, but he couldn't know whose boxes they were. (00:02:44)

The Black Phone picture

Other mistake: After Finney got off the mattress, he was walking in the dark (at least a few steps). The screen went completely black, but Finney - who had not been in that basement before - was able to reach up and pull the cord to turn on the bathroom ceiling light. (00:29:50)

Suggested correction: What the viewer sees and what Finney sees would be different; his eyes probably see low level light better than the camera. There would be a low level light going into the corridor from the room Finney was in. This would possibly be enough for him to see the light cord. We don't see the light cord, so we don't know how easy it was for Finney to see it.

Snake Eyes picture

Other mistake: While Snake Eyes is fighting at the beginning of the film, the other guy throws him to a block of concrete. Snake hits on his head and should be dead by then or at least seriously injured.

The Protégé picture

Other mistake: In the kitchen fight scene Maggie Q's weapon fires on automatic (without a magazine) when she is knocked to the floor by Michael K, but when she jumps over the table her weapon is and fires as a shotgun.

Suggested correction: She always has a shotgun, her weapon doesn't change.

Zeros and Ones picture

Other mistake: Aerial views of JJ's outdoor sleeping/hiding box show his backpack distorted and tilted to the right (as if partly fallen over) but ground views are clear, showing the backpack upright as it should be. (01:07:37 - 01:08:05)

Weekend Warriors picture

Other mistake: The crossbow arrow that went through Jamie's shoulder area had different positions/angles and was not always visible (in front or back) when it should have been. The crossbow arrow also did not seem to be long enough. It was not a mini crossbow arrow (3-4" where in front with maybe 5" in the back and a mini is only about 6.3" total); regular lengths are typically 14" - 20"+. (01:15:10 - 01:17:00)

Red Notice picture

Other mistake: That old Mercedes-Benz would have never started, as the lithium-ion battery should be flat after 90 years of storage.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: You can see Booth starting the old Mercedes-Benz with a crank handle. No need for a battery. Back then, there were no lithium-ion batteries, but rather lead-acid batteries.
