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)

Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose picture

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)

Jesus Revolution picture

Continuity mistake: When Greg (Joel Courtney) is taking photos/videos and meets Charlie, rear views show strands of his bangs dangling down the side of his right cheek, but front views show his hair neatly combed back. (00:05:52 - 00:06:15)

The Christmas Venue picture

Continuity mistake: Cait plays the "forehead game" and correctly guesses that she is "snow". Cait apparently removes the paper from her forehead (off-screen). The timer bell rings, and the paper is on Cait's forehead as if she does not take it off. (00:57:28 - 00:58:08)

The Old Way picture

Continuity mistake: The wad of money Briggs took from the man Jimmy's dad stole from was evenly folded in half, cupped in Briggs' palm, but at least one bill was protruding upward when he stood up. As Briggs was walking into the building, a rear view showed the money was no longer cupped in his palm but extended from both sides of his hand and was in disarray. (00:05:10)

Tetris picture

Factual error: Henk arrives in Moscow. The KGB gets a copy of his passport. In the next scene, a building can be seen, and a Trabant 601 drives through the shot (one light out). Trabant was East German made and widely exported on the Eastern Block but never to the Soviet Union. This car is definitely wrong there. (00:30:40)

Snow Falls picture

Revealing mistake: When River and Eden are talking in front of the kitchen window, every other camera shift alternates between different backgrounds - still/blurred versus clear/actively snowing. The props are also different. (00:14:15)

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)

Megalodon: The Frenzy picture

Factual error: Lieutenant Commander Sharp addresses the crew of the USS King. At the end, he shouts "Semper Fi." Marines say "Semper Fi," not Navy personnel. "Hooyah!" would have been more appropriate. By the way, I don't think bright metal collar insignias are worn with the blue camo uniform. They use subdued rank insignia. But I am not sure.

The Strange Case of a Claustrophobic Ghost picture

Visible crew/equipment: There is no light in the kitchen that can produce the light/glare in the upper right corners of Nikolaj's glasses when his mother is facing him from a couple of feet away. Also, there is glare on his glasses when he is standing in school, reading his essay, and sitting at his desk. (Lights from camera or equipment can explain the glare.) (00:03:37 - 00:06:04)

The Haunting of Julia Fields picture

Continuity mistake: Viewing from the foot of the bed, Julia's quilt/bedspread is pulled to the edge and forms a butterfly-like shape, but the side view shows three mound-like rolls. Returning to the foot of the bed, the butterfly shape of the bedspread reappears. (00:13:12)

I'll Be Watching picture

Continuity mistake: The bumps/folds on the light-coloured dress lying on the bed vary. After Pepper the cat tramps on the dress and causes indentations in the fabric, the dress is suddenly lying smoothly on the bed. (00:30:18 - 00:30:46)

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)

Factual error: The take-out food container has "sweet potatoe" written on the top, misspelling "potato." (00:06:50)

Continuity mistake: Dad's fiancée places the photo album on her lap and holds the Christmas dance tickets between both hands. She has no free hands to move the album, but the album is on the coffee table. No one touches the album, but it is at a different angle on the coffee table. (00:09:28 - 00:10:10)

TwoTwo picture

Continuity mistake: Victor slams the door to the electrical panel box on his left and its right side tilts, but - in an instant - it is upright and the electrical box to his right is tilted instead. Victor doesn't close the door to the box on his left, but it is suddenly closed. (00:38:40)
