House of Gucci picture

Other mistake: When Al Pacino reads the magazine (Grazia) with the news of Maurizio's wedding, the article is probably a reproduction (with the actors' picture in place of the actual Maurizio and Patrizia) of a news story about the actual wedding, so the details conflict entirely with the fabricated story. You can easily read (in Italian of course) that they met in 1971 (1978 in this movie), there are over 500 guests to the wedding (much more of a private affair here) and Maurizio had to ask some of his friends to introduce Patrizia to him and asked her out, which is the opposite of what happens here.

Zone 414 picture

Other mistake: Jane's top includes a scarf that is wrapped around her neck a few times. She starts to remove the scarf by unwrapping it clockwise. When the camera shifts, and she resumes unwrapping the scarf, she goes counterclockwise. (00:20:55)

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)

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.

Below the Fold picture

Other mistake: Tom told David and Lily, "Whoever murdered that girl [Jessica] didn't have sex with her. They used a corn cob." The crime scene photo of the "corn cob" actually showed a partially opened "husk of corn" or "ear of corn." The "cob" is the inner part of the ear beneath the kernels of corn and could more realistically be used to "assault" someone. (00:33:30 - 00:38:30)

Red Stone picture

Other mistake: The chances that no-one in the approaching truck - three men, including a man standing in the bed facing oncoming traffic - would notice that Danny had a front seat passenger are very low, if not zero. Even after Motley got into the second row seat of the truck, but did not get down right away, the men in the truck had turned around and were following Danny but still did not notice Motley. (00:10:00 - 00:10:27)

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)

Armageddon Tales picture

Other mistake: Joshua kept on his thick leather gloves (with side stitching, adding width) while playing the piano yet didn't have any difficulty hitting the right keys. The added width to his fingers from this type of gloves should have interfered with his accuracy hitting the notes and keeping the tempo - the part of Chopin's "Nocturnes" he played was allegro (fast). (00:30:00 - 00:31:10)

Antidote picture

Other mistake: Sharyn was hooked up to an IV catheter somewhere in her upper arm (underneath her gown's short sleeve). The IV's location is unusual because IV catheters are usually placed in an easily accessible location, such as the back of the hand or forearm. When Sharyn ran out of her room, she apparently ripped out the IV without injuring the injection site or causing any bleeding. After being returned to her room from her escape attempt, she no longer required IV therapy (wasn't hooked up). (00:06:30 - 00:07:34)

Every Breath You Take picture

Other mistake: James supposedly did not give his name when he filed a complaint against Dr. Clark, which would make conducting an investigation to determine if the complaint was valid very difficult. Dr. Clark would be entitled to due process (presumption of innocence) and it is highly unlikely that the Medical Commission would have taken such quick and drastic measures against Dr. Clark under the circumstances.

Cry Macho picture

Other mistake: Mike said, "I don't feel too good [sick from drinking Mexico's "dirty water"]." Rafo responded, "Run! It's gonna come out" and Mike walked into the weeds. Mike apparently "forgot" about his impending diarrhea because he was able to run up to the road behind Rafo when their car was being stolen. (00:41:59 - 00:44:00)

Space Sweepers picture

Other mistake: When the assassin is trapped inside the airlock with Tiger, she chokes him, and he collapses. The assassin then begins to walk back to the door to the ship, but just as she is about to open the door, Tiger sneaks up behind her and opens the airlock. There is no way she wouldn't have heard Tiger approaching her. The space was very confined and would have heard his footsteps whilst walking up to her. (01:52:05)

Boogie picture

Other mistake: "Boogie" was a HS student who didn't work and lived with his financially strained (heavily in debt) parents. The Chin family was receiving past-due notices for various bills. The IRS also sent a letter of intent to levy or seize their property if they did not immediately pay $4,513.29. But Boogie had money to buy marijuana, go out to dinner with his girlfriend, go to a gym, and visit a fortune teller - each multiple times. His mother also ate out and saw a fortune teller. With what money? (00:10:20 - 00:28:57)

Below Zero picture

Other mistake: The issued sidearm for the Spanish National Police is the H&K USP 9mm Compact, which has a capacity of 13+1 bullets, and the Civil Guards' is the Beretta 92fs/M9, which is a 9mm and has a magazine capacity of 15+1 bullets. As of 2020 the Beretta is being phased out for the H&K USP C. The police officer fires a total of 5 bullets from his Beretta then the slide locks back because its dry. He has no magazines for reloads either. I highly doubt the Spanish police issues 5 bullets to their officers. (00:33:00 - 00:35:30)

The Penthouse picture

Other mistake: Det. Martinez told Peter he couldn't do anything about his belief that Charles was in his penthouse (and took his dog) without the necessary evidence. However, the detective filed stalking charges against Peter based on Charles' statement that he was being stalked, which was without evidence. The charge of stalking was also far-fetched and the detective should have had enough sense to realise that Charles would not be in fear of his safety over Peter's presence or behavior.

Naked Singularity picture

Other mistake: In a voice over, Casi said, " I am a public defender. And there are only 15,000 of me for the 10.5 million people who were arrested last year in America." The statistics may not be accurate (the FBI's UCR lists an estimated 10,085,207 arrests in 2019), but it is his general statement that is misleading. Not all arrestees will be represented by a public defender - many will hire private defense attorneys. The inference of a 1,000 caseload per year exaggerates the actual of 50-590. (00:01:09)

Black Friday picture

Other mistake: When Ken was using the plunger to lift panels of the suspended ceiling, the bathroom stall next to him (and against the wall) was closed, but when he stooped to the floor to look at the broken bottle of alcohol, the stall door was open and someone's legs from below the knees could be seen. When this part of the movie resumed, Ken was opening the door to the stall. He was also walking on the area where the broken bottle was on the floor. The toilet only went as high as the person's shins. (00:33:08 - 00:35:50)

Other mistake: With all the sand blowing around, Paul, Leto, and anyone else not wearing goggles and a face mask (covering nostrils and mouth) should have been affected, but they didn't even have to blink their eyes. (01:05:25)
