Inside Out 2 picture Inside Out 2 mistake picture

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Beetlejuice is first introduced, right before we see him, the camera rotates around the model and the sign above the grave lights up. Right before the sign lights up, you can ever-so-subtly see a part of the camera's shadow move over the model. It's subtle and easy to miss, but once you see it, it's pretty obvious.

Plot hole: Robotnik and Grandpa Robotnik are dancing through lasers. The suits reflect lasers, but their heads are completely exposed.

Suggested correction: Gerald notes that the lasers are specifically conforming to the shape of his body, and Robotnik explains that the suits were designed to create a field that specifically attracts/distorts the lasers.

Saturday Night picture

Factual error: George Carlin is played in the movie by Matthew Rhys. They went as far as to recreate with him, on a prop, the cover of "An Evening With Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo", the album that Carlin pitched at the end of the original episode and that Rhys brings on stage in this movie at dress rehearsal. However, in this cover, Rhys is looking to his upper left, Carlin looked to the upper right. With such attention to detail, it's easy to imagine it could be deliberate. (00:43:00)

Ryan's World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure picture

Continuity mistake: When Ryan puts the first blade in the box during his magic show, he first holds the blade in front of the box, but in an instant cut, it's already in the slot. In the next shot, it's out of the slot again, then Ryan puts it in again. Ryan still holds the blade after putting it in, but in the next shot, Ryan is suddenly not holding the blade anymore. (00:02:28)

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F picture

Other mistake: When Abbott is talking to Axel for the first time, he is flipping through a book that has files and pictures on Axel. One of them is a picture from when he got arrested after he got thrown out of the window. It is made to look like it was a picture taken of him at the time of his arrest, but it is a direct screen grab from Beverly Hills Cop.

Continuity mistake: When Jack has his temperature taken near the start of the film, the thermometer in his mouth goes from right-side up to upside down, then back to right-side up between cuts.

Borderlands picture

Visible crew/equipment: When the 6 main characters open the hatch to the sewer, there appears to be a crew member helping them open it. There is only 6 of them in the scene. But, there is a seventh person at the top who looks to be wearing a m95 mask. This is also in the opening scene of the first trailer.

Distant picture

Factual error: Andy crashes on an uncharted planet, and his personal assistant says the atmosphere is 2% oxygen. This is over 90% less than the oxygen concentration on Earth. When Andy comes across his crashed and burning ship (the "Borealis"), the fire is burning just as brightly as it does on Earth. The fire should be shown as burning much lower due to the small amount of oxygen.

However, when Noel tells Katie to drive the car, in the exterior shots as she sideswipes another car, the rearview mirror is back up on the windshield; then it's off again. (00:33:35)
