Continuity mistake: When Toad General calls for the council's attention and announces that Bowser found the Super Star, note his shirt buttons. Then, when he says that the Kongs will never agree because their mad king doesn't make alliances, Toad General's shirt is backwards, his buttons are on the opposite side. (00:24:55 - 00:25:35)
Continuity mistake: Right before Ben jumps off the cliff, he drinks a small cup of coffee and places it back on a saucer that Jonathan is holding. When the shot cuts, the saucer is still visible in Jonathan's hand, but the cup cannot be seen on it. The cup then reappears in the next shot.
Factual error: A large part of the film takes place in Pakistan, but all the cars there have steering wheels on the left as in the US. Pakistan drives on the left and the cars have steering wheels on the right side of the car. (00:57:21)
Suggested correction: There's an article on huffpost.com by Jeanette Khan entitled, "Driving In Pakistan: Can You Handle It?" (12/18/08 updated 5/25/11) wherein it is stated, "Driving in Pakistan is like purposely courting death... Sometimes, people prefer to drive on the right-side of the road... The drivers really don't care they're going the wrong way. There really are no rules for driving here. People often do as they please." In fact, then, the actual driving practices do not conform to the written law.
Or, are you just asserting that the cars should not have steering wheels on the left? The cars could be from anywhere, even if being driven in Pakistan. U.S.P.S. mail trucks have steering wheels on the right – this doesn't mean that they don't belong in the U.S.
Continuity mistake: His lazy eye is not consistently on his left or the right. It switches from scene to scene. Even though in the end he says it's his right eye people should always look at.
Factual error: This is set in summer 2007 but they watch Superbad (released August 2007) on DVD.
Suggested correction: The movie actually takes place in 2006. Superbad coming out in 2007 was correct.
Do a word change if the mistake is valid. Not a correction.
The movie starts in late 2006, then Oliver is invited to spend the summer (2007) with Felix, where the bulk of the movie takes place.
Continuity mistake: A cannonball fired from Captain Hook's ship hits a cliff where Peter Pan, Wendy, John and Michael are watching. The blast hurls the four into the air. When Wendy regains consciousness, she is lying face down on the shore as waves wash over her. As she runs up the hillside to search for the others, her clothes are dry and her hair is blowing in the breeze. (00:23:20)
Factual error: Gloria's vehicle is a Chevrolet Blazer SS EV, but during the chase scene, her supposedly electric vehicle makes sounds like a normal gas engine.
Continuity mistake: After Freddy gets bullied by the high school jocks and returns to talk to Anthea, he leaves his locker door open to walk her to class. When the camera pans around, his locker door is closed. (00:24:47)
Suggested correction: Freddy's own locker is 4th from the right - he shuts it at the start of the scene. Just as Anthea says, "You knew those guys were gonna hit you," note the ginger-haired girl in an orange sweater is at her open locker, 2nd from the right, and Freddy walks over. As Freddy says, "That's how I amuse myself," we see the ginger girl standing patiently behind Freddy while he uses *her* open locker (she has a blue floral lei hanging inside) to unbend his crutch. When Freddy says, "Walk you to class? No. Why would I wanna do that? YES!" we see the ginger girl ready to get her locker back. She closes her locker while offscreen in the next shot. Then in the next shot, as the camera faces Freddy and Anthea, in the background we see ginger girl standing at her now closed locker. Rewatch this scene, please. There is no continuity problem.
Revealing mistake: Just as the first credits roll, when the cheerleaders dance, check the African American, Caucasian, and most noticeably, the Asian American people behind the team. They are blatant, creepy-looking, unrealistic CGI characters. (00:01:18)
Other mistake: The scene where the king has directed his aides to issue "a firm denial of these accusations" makes little sense, since Alex has already officially and firmly confirmed their relationship from the White House press room. For the palace to announce that the son of the US president is lying would create diplomatic chaos between two very close allies and would not happen. (01:42:25)
Continuity mistake: Tre holds the bound fleece blanket [or men's top?] with the white border to his left, but it lands (not rotates) onto the desk with the white border to his right. The blanket is at a different angle in front of Chris, and the white border faces Chris (i.e. rotates about 90°) before Chris touches or picks up the blanket. (00:05:58)
Factual error: It is shown, more than once, that letters from the IRS are piling up, and it's implied that these are the property tax problems with which the main character is wrestling. However, property tax letters would not come from the IRS/Federal government. Rather, they'd come from local/county/city government.
Continuity mistake: In the front view of Olivia when she sits at her desk and opens her laptop, the clear LED globe lightbulb to her right is illuminated with a visible filament, but the bulb looks solid white when the camera shifts to a rear view. (01:22:22)
Suggested correction: It's still a clear bulb in the rear view, you're just seeing the white curtains behind the clear bulb.
Filaments should still be visible because they are darker and in front of the paler background.
The filament is still visible.
Didn't look illuminated on my screen.
It definitely is illuminated. It might be hard to tell with so much lighting already present in the scene, especially coming through the window.
I seriously doubt there's enough background light to make what is supposed to be a clear illuminated LED bulb several feet in front of it to fade away. (This will be my last response).
Then you're talking about two completely different lamps altogether because the bulb is in front of a giant window with light coming through the thin curtain and it's inches away from the window, not feet. And it's not faded away at all.
Continuity mistake: The desk lamp (which has an odd 2-3" "halo" around its perimeter) faces the screen (angled away from Sid). Suddenly, the lamp aims at Sid spinning in his chair. The lamp goes back to its original angle but varies a couple more times. (00:41:20)
Continuity mistake: The phone in the foyer of the Simon house is a dial pad, but changes to a rotary more than halfway through.
Factual error: Fodor is woken by the nighttime cry of a fox, whilst staying on the Isle of Man. There are no foxes on the Isle of Man, and none were present in the time period of the film. (00:37:45)
Continuity mistake: The amount of tomato juice in Lou's [Lily Tomlin] glass fluctuates with camera angle/distance, increasing two times. More distant views from the table show about one-third full, whereas close-ups show about one-half full. (00:27:10 - 00:28:10)
Continuity mistake: The husband takes photos of his bride as she walks towards him on the shore, which is free of rocks for yards in both directions. They take several steps along the shore, and there are big rocks in the water near the coastline. Alternating rear views show no rocks. (00:04:00 - 00:04:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jordan and Rita are having ice cream together, Tina Fey's spoon is up/down between shots. (00:37:35)
Continuity mistake: When the girls are vandalising Jeff's house, when they're almost done, Josie and Isabel are in the van, almost kissing but then the bomb goes off. A second after the bomb, the van is empty and both girls are on the street.
