Memory picture

Factual error: El Paso, Texas, where the entire movie is set, is nowhere near the ocean or large enough bodies of water where a marina with moorings for megayachts could be located. The yacht scene, while fanciful, could not have taken place in El Paso or anywhere reasonably nearby (even by US standards).

Talk to Me picture Talk to Me mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Mia first does the ritual, you can see the boom mic on the bottom right corner. It hides in the dark corner, but if you look carefully, you can see it come in the shot. It's easier to, depending on how dark your screen is. (00:20:40)

Suggested correction: I could not see Will's speedometer or tachometer (RPM gauge) during his drive to Frank's. What I did see (and believe you saw) was the patrol officer's instrument panel while he was parked along the road using radar. This was before he pulled out to chase Will's speeding SUV, so both gauges should have been on the far left (i.e, on "0"). [00:46:28].

M3gan picture

Factual error: The teacher sends her pupils to the woods to collect chestnuts. Later we learn that the date when all this happened is May 30th. Chestnuts ripen in autumn, around September-October. (00:52:18 - 01:05:06)

Where the Crawdads Sing picture

Factual error: On July 4, Kya waits for Tate, watching the sun set and the fireworks at night. She falls asleep on the shore and wakes up in the same position, watching the sun rise. So the sun sets and rises in the same position. (00:55:40)

The 355 picture

Continuity mistake: In the final battle, Lin Mi Sheng has her hair pinned up in a French twist. Her hair changes very frequently between shots and combat sequences. Sometimes it switches from a French twist to a slick chignon.

The Gray Man picture

Continuity mistake: As the "lone wolf" escapes on the bike, there's a fancy swooping camera shot which tracks him, cutting to a shot from the front just as he scythes between two dark cars and past a police car. In that quick shot a woman suddenly appears cowering by the police car who wasn't there before.

The Menu picture

Continuity mistake: During appetizers, John Leguizamo's assistant puts her work phone on the table to let him know she is resigning. Leguizamo is holding his glass when the camera is behind him, and a spoon when he's seen from the front. (00:13:10)

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre picture

Continuity mistake: When Sarah fires at the jeep chasing them she brings the weapon back in with the slide in the normal position, in the next shot it is in the locked back empty position. (01:26:50)

Sniper: Rogue Mission picture

Factual error: Mary Jane said, "I spent seven days in a pitch-black shipping container with no food or water and nine other girls." A human can go 2-3 days without water, but not 7. (00:37:18)

Halloween Ends picture

Continuity mistake: Before taking Michael's mask, Corey calls Allyson and tells her to meet him at the diner at 9:00 pm. Later we see Allyson at the diner waiting for Corey, but when she checks her phone and sees Laurie is calling the time is 5:36 pm. (01:13:56 - 01:24:41)

X (2022)

X picture

Continuity mistake: RJ got into his van and drove parallel to the house, almost reaching the end (right side) of the house when he saw Pearl in front of him and stopped. When RJ got out of his van, it was parked near the beginning (left side) of the house that he had already driven past. Also, Pearl was standing in front of a fence, so it didn't make sense that RJ would be driving straight toward a dead-end. (00:57:07)

Marlowe picture

Other mistake: The white horse looked very uncomfortable from what appeared to be an improperly placed bit (too far back and/or misaligned in its mouth). The handler should have noticed something was wrong and intervened. (00:20:30)

Smile picture

Character mistake: Laura is on the floor, screaming and exhibiting bizarre behaviour, so Dr. Rose Cotter goes to the wall phone to call for help. Instead of maintaining observation and continuing an evaluation of Laura, the psychiatrist faces the wall while making the call and even stares at the wall for a couple of seconds after hanging up. A patient's body language can/do help make a diagnosis, so the psychiatrist should keep her eyes on Laura. (00:11:20)

Assailant picture

Continuity mistake: The angle (from diagonal to more horizontal) and appearance (from bloody and jagged to a continuous thin line) of the cut on Zoe's forehead changed within a short amount of time. (00:47:16 - 00:47:43)

Black Warrant picture

Revealing mistake: Initially, there is a little movement that can be seen in the passenger's side mirror on Juan's car, but it is subsequently reduced to still-frame. Also, the driver's side mirror is tilted upward, showing movement, but not in a typical position to enable viewing of vehicles behind the driver. (00:00:55)

Gone in the Night picture

Other mistake: The GPS voice said, "Your destination is on your left", but Kath kept driving (slowly) on the dirt road and did not reach the cabin for over 30 seconds (longer than would be expected). A GPS system typically announces how many feet until you reach your destination, plus "You have reached your destination" after traveling that number of feet. (00:05:00 - 00:05:38)
