Renegades picture

Continuity mistake: There are two stand-up picture frames on the table. Judy knocks over one picture frame as she walks towards and points mace at Burton. Judy continues holding the mace in her right hand and purse in her left and does not bend over to upright the frame. When Judy leaves, the picture frame is upright and roughly parallel to the other frame. (00:25:45 - 00:27:20)

Class of '85 picture

Continuity mistake: Jail cells have a rectangular slot with an outward flat extension for setting down food trays. The guard checks cells after "lights out" and there are no flat extensions for trays. (00:23:50 - 00:24:35)

The Outfit picture

Continuity mistake: Leonard washed his hands and some of the blood on his shirt cuffs/sleeves got wet and diluted, but his cuffs/sleeves were dry when he walked out of the room. (00:28:40 - 00:29:05)

Eraser: Reborn picture

Revealing mistake: The rhino that killed (or "erased") Paul was obviously CGI and quite fake-looking, especially the way it was running. (01:32:50)

Boon picture

Deliberate mistake: Considering the position of the surveillance camera (height and angle - almost parallel to the side of the building as well as to the sidewalk), plus the lens being indented within the outer frame, it would not have been able to capture a view of Redd on the sidewalk below like it did. (00:24:40)

Second Chances picture

Continuity mistake: Banker Mr. Anderson picks up his glasses from the desk and holds them near his face, then picks them up a second time. (00:51:35)

Deinfluencer picture

Continuity mistake: Overlooking the sudden drop from 1:02 to 0:17 seconds on the countdown clock, the one-second interval beeps are not accurate. In the countdown from 10 seconds, there are approximately or precisely 10 beeps, then the countdown clock shows 4 seconds remaining. (00:19:55)

Meet Cute picture

Continuity mistake: During their first encounter (the first we see in the movie, at least), Sheila sits next to Gary, and they both order Old Fashioned. Phil the Bartender makes a comment on that, and she shoos him off. Look at Kaley Cuoco 's bag; one of the straps keeps going on/off the top of the bag between shots. (00:03:30)

Persuasion picture

Factual error: Twice during the movie, streetlights are visible: once when lady Russell informs Anne of Wentworth's engagements, and once while Anne is running after Wentworth. (Streetlights, lit by gas, were indeed conceived during the regency period - but they were experimental curiosities, and certainly not yet installed nationwide).

Bodies Bodies Bodies picture

Continuity mistake: The monkey figurines (or charms) on the beads hanging from the rearview mirror change positions from being more horizontal (side-by-side) to vertical (one below the other, and at different distances). Swaying from the SUV's movement might explain some change, but the weight of the monkeys should have kept their positions more balanced (side-by-side or one at the top and the other at the bottom). (00:03:30)

Maigret picture

Continuity mistake: At the clothing rental store, Maigret puts the box with the victim's bloodied dress on the counter. He leans against the counter with closed fists, but in the next shot, we see GĂ©rard Depardieu leaning with his open hands flat instead. (00:17:00)

All Eyes picture

Factual error: The "X"s crossing out days on Don's calendar indicated it was Thursday June 9, 2021 [but June 9th actually fell on a Wednesday]. Allen was watching a TV show that aired 12:30 - 2:30 AM, so Allen was smoking outside in the dark during the early morning hours of Friday June 10th. A Full Moon was shown after Allen was watching TV and before he went outside. Full Moon didn't occur until June 24, 2021 (about two weeks later) during daytime hours (11:39 AM - 2:39 PM, depending on the time zone - 1:39 in OK). (00:19:37 - 00:30:19)

The Winter Palace picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of snow accumulated on the chalet's wraparound porch railing was higher when looking outside compared to external views, such as when Emily was outside talking on the phone with Becca. (00:13:35 - 00:15:05)

The Whale picture

Plot hole: After sending the offensive message to his students, Charlie got on-line with them (within hours or the same day?) and said, "Well, your complaints have been heard. I've been replaced..." IF an on-line college instructor could be terminated and replaced as quickly as Charlie was, it would follow that he would no longer be able to access the on-line course to communicate with the students like he did. (01:39:55)

Suggested correction: I think this is based on too much assumption. Any sort-of ban would likely be entire dependent on whatever system they're using for their online class. And it's entirely plausible he'd still be able to access his account mere hours later, even if the call has already been made to replace him.

I worked for the Defence department in Australia and it was a running gag that eighteen months after I had left my online access to my account was still open, allowing me access to highly classified documentation, including emails. Mistakes happen.

All the Old Knives picture

Continuity mistake: Henry's scarf is hanging down loosely and appears to be pinned together near the bottom (by his chest). While Henry is running outside, his scarf goes from loose around the front to having an obvious knot over his right shoulder. (00:02:16 - 00:02:43)

The Contractor picture

Continuity mistake: The tattoo artist is almost finished drawing the American flag on the boy's upper right arm. After he wipes it and there's a quick camera shift, the tattoo is less complete - the stripes are bloodier, more jagged, and of unequal width like they were earlier. (00:14:31)

Shotgun Wedding picture

Revealing mistake: The front view of the pirates in the golf cart with Darcy and Tom does not show the driver turning the steering wheel at all, which would mean the road was straight, but the when the road becomes visible again, it is diagonally behind the golf cart. (00:36:45)

Death Camp picture

Continuity mistake: After the teens parked their vehicles facing an embankment (which was about twice as high as the vehicles' roofs), they walked up the hill to the diner (which wasn't visible). Somehow, one of the teens sitting in the diner was able to see James' SUV being stolen, so they ran outside and down the embankment. The vehicles should not have been visible from inside the diner plus the embankment looked different (e.g, varying heights). (00:07:26 - 00:12:24)

Hunting Souls picture

Plot hole: Mike carried Sophie into the hospital and walked through the halls yelling, "I need a doctor" until he ran into Sophie's Dr. Thomas. Sophie was put on a cot and rolled into a room where Dr. Thomas immediately began examining her. Mike completely by-passed registration, triage, etc, which wouldn't be tolerated at an emergency room. Emergency rooms are highly likely/almost always back-logged with patients, many with urgent conditions yet still might wait hours to be seen by a doctor or nurse. (00:06:45 - 00:07:20)

The Northman picture

Audio problem: When the boy and the leader of Iceland are hammering in posts and the boy is complaining that he's the heir and shouldn't have to do manual labor, there are at least two times when bad wind flutter in the microphones can be heard. It sounds like the wind clips the volume level and the audio briefly cuts out. It happens on windy film shoots, as wind screens can only prevent so much and its obviously very windy in this scene. Why this wasn't caught in post is hard to say. This is audible on the video on demand version.

Suggested correction: No such problem exists on the UHD/Blu-ray release. I also did not notice it on the VOD release, so it could have just been an issue with your sound setup.
