Big George Foreman picture

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always picture

Factual error: Kat morphs by calling for the Pterodactyl but she wasn't a ranger when the Pterodactyl was in use, she became the pink Ninja Ranger so her call should have been, "pink ranger power!"

Suggested correction: It's explained in the movie. Alpha made proxie power coins, in order for them to access the dino powers. She was given the Pterodactyl coin and the dino powers to get Tommy, Jason, and Kimberly back.

Tales of the Fantastic picture

Continuity mistake: The remote-controlled truck heads towards a long, square-shaped wall (or landscape edging), about as high as the truck. As the truck gets closer, the wall becomes a partially buried long pipe. The truck more easily goes over the less-exposed round pipe. (00:07:38)

Poor Things picture

The Portable Door picture

Continuity mistake: The position of the pamphlet display on the side table changes a few times after Paul sits on the couch. The pamphlets are near the upper right-hand corner of the table before Paul sits, and then the pamphlets are behind the lamp, towards the rear-center. The pamphlets are in the upper left-hand corner, then suddenly in the upper right-hand corner (where they start) when Paul removes one from the display. The location and angle of the lamp shade also vary. (00:09:00 - 00:09:25)

The Devil Comes at Night picture

Continuity mistake: The trees show through the front windows of the house largely have green leaves with subtle signs of starting to transition for autumn. Panning to the back windows, the trees have a distinct, more uniform orange tint (which cannot be attributed to the sun setting behind them). Returning to the front windows, the tree foliage is more fall-like, similar to the orange foliage in the backyard. (00:00:24)

Fear the Invisible Man picture

Continuity mistake: The creamer (or sugar bowl?) is in front of the tea pot's spout, but rear views of Adye show the creamer behind the tea pot and more to his left. Also, the way Adye is sitting sideways in the chair with his knees crossed, the creamer and tea pot should not even be visible from the rear angle. (00:40:50 - 00:41:12)

Jawan picture

Other mistake: Halfway through the film, a cityscape with the subtitle "Russia" is shown - the city is, in fact, Atlanta. Skyscrapers such as the SunTree Plaza, Westin Peachtree Plaza, and the Georgia-Pacific Tower are visible. (01:24:00)

More God Is a Bullet mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the rear view of the picture frames on the desk, the frames are closer together and aligned in a somewhat semi-circular pattern, but are spread out and staggered in the front view. At first, it appears a gap in time can possibly explain the rearranged frames (Rock is opening mail), but a rear view while he is still reading his mail shows the frames arranged like they originally were. (00:03:25 - 00:03:51)

Evil Dead Rise picture

Continuity mistake: When the older sister impales herself on the broom handle, her head changed from next to her little sister's hands, at the base, to halfway up the staff with almost a foot of distance between her head and her sister's hands.

Visible crew/equipment: When Grace is entering the flower store, if you look closely at the door, you can see the reflection of the entire camera crew and equipment present. (00:16:07)

Hank's Christmas Wish picture

Continuity mistake: Bella sits on the couch, and the two metal purse strap buckles are atop the front and back sides of her left shoulder. In alternating views, the buckles are a couple of inches lower along the front of the strap. (00:05:07 - 00:05:33)

Maggie Moore(s) picture

Continuity mistake: When Maggie's husband talks to the killer for a hit on Maggie II, watch as he switches the TV off; his left sleeve is down, then it's rolled up to his elbow again by the time he sets the remote down. Both sleeves change slightly the way they are rolled during the scene, but that's the most noticeable instance by far. (00:33:00)

Plot hole: Venegas says that when the American coup was taking place, he was planning on taking a boat to Cuba. At the end of the movie, a news report shows the borders of Paldonia, and the nation is completely landlocked.

Romance in Hawaii picture

Continuity mistake: Leah pours some wine, then sets the bottle near the centre of the counter (next to the bowl). The bottle is closer to the edge, back near the centre, then towards the edge of the counter again. Leah does move her cell phone with her right hand a couple of times and holds her glass in her left, but it doesn't appear she drinks any wine and there's no sound to indicate she refills her glass or moves the wine bottle. (00:07:45 - 00:08:50)
