Factual error: After taking the motorcycle, Danvers rides to the bar and passes a blue and white open-bed Ford pickup. There are two things wrong with the truck's license plate: it is a non-commercial California plate "1TAH285" (pickups in California back then had to have commercial plates, form 1A23456, unless a special allowance was made if they always have a camper), and the plate is blue on white which was first used with plates starting with "2." A plate of form 1ABC234 starting with "1" is gold on blue. (00:38:00)
Continuity mistake: When Vers 'proves' to Fury she's not a Skrull by photon blast usage, Brie Larson's hand is either under her chin or on the table; it makes no difference for the reverse shots that stay always the same. (00:41:00)
Continuity mistake: Fury pets Goose when he first meets it; his right hand has a habit of being in inconsistent positions between shots (Goose paws his hand down but it's still up after the cut; Vers calls him by name and in the close-up he has both hands on the furry neck of the critter, only to be shown with the right hand down at the cut). (00:45:48)
Other mistake: One already wonders how fast can SHIELD possibly get to the facility itself once Fury pages them, but when Fury and Vers get into the archive, the clock shows it's 2 PM. After a few minutes browsing, he gets a message on his pager from Keller simply saying the message has been received. He leaves 'for a minute' apparently to go greet them (already?) and comes back; when he walks into the archive the clock shows it's 3 PM. (00:46:15 - 00:51:00)
Continuity mistake: During the fight between Fury and Director Keller in the archive, an object (a suitcase or a folder?) suddenly appears mid-fight, either in upright or horizontal position. (00:52:00)
Continuity mistake: When Keller has the upper hand on Fury in the fight, he slams him on the ground. When Vers blasts Keller backwards, Fury's head is closer to the 32 on the floor than it was when he was lying down stunned. (00:52:40)
Continuity mistake: After Danvers heats the kettle with her hand she sits and speaks with Rambeau, the window shades change in the last shot. Most noticeable is the pulls change positions. (01:00:30)
Continuity mistake: Monica is showing Carol some photos from the past. The first one is a Halloween one; you can see in the wide shot how her two hands move together on the corner of the picture, but in the close-up she is holding it on both opposite sides. (01:01:15)
Factual error: The calendar on the wall behind Fury when they are listening to the audio at Rambeau's house correctly lists the days for June 1995 (1st is a Thursday and 30th is a Friday), but the days for May and July are wrong (it shows May 1st on Sunday and last day as 30th on Tuesday, but 1st was Monday, and May has 31 days, not 30. It shows July 1st as Wednesday when it was actually Saturday, and the month of July only having 28 days). (01:05:00)
Continuity mistake: When Talos appears in Rambeau's house he gets scared after seeing the cat, which then sits down facing Danvers about a foot to the right of Talos' boots. A second later, Danvers reaches down about six feet in front of Talos and picks up the cat which is now facing Talos. There wasn't enough time for the cat to have moved from a sitting position to the new location, let alone turned around. (01:05:00)
Factual error: Everyone is gathered in front of Maria's computer waiting for the audio CD to load. Maria's computer is actually from the future, since it has installed not Windows 95 (beta or not) like in the internet cafe, but the even later Windows 2000 (telltale detail; the CD player program and the icon of the recycle bin). (01:05:45)
Continuity mistake: When Maria says "It's just basic physics" and takes a sip, her grip on the glass is different than in the following shot. (01:15:05)
Factual error: The red songbook on Rambeau's piano is Cajun and Zydeco Classics, first published in 2005, ten years after this scene is supposed to have taken place. (01:20:00)
Suggested correction: First released in 1997.
You're confusing the album (released in 1997) with the songbook (published in 2005). However, the film is set in 1995.
Factual error: In her second encounter with the Supreme Intelligence, Carol's memories 'jogged' by the Earth's sojourn include a record of "Come as you are" by Nirvana. A memory that Carol couldn't possibly have, having become Vers in 1989, and with the song being part of Nirvana's ultra-famous "Nevermind" album which came out in 1991. (01:27:30)
Suggested correction: She could have heard it since she spent a little time in 1995 in the bar and at Rambeau's house. Even in the car it could have been on the radio (then Fury turns it off). Just because we didn't see her hear it doesn't mean she didn't, there definitely was opportunity.
Yes, I heard that objection before, but the song should have some sort of meaning or relevance in a scene that is all about "the old memory" getting "jogged back", not just be something she perhaps listened to, off-screen, randomly.
Or it was the most recent song she heard and therefore at the top of her mind.
This isn't relevant If the scene is random or not it doesn't matter. The mistake was that she couldn't have heard it, but she could have heard it.
No, the mistake is that the song is part of a scene based on an old memory of a specific timeframe explicitly referenced as such, of which Nirvana is not a part of. The Supreme Intelligence explicitly references the 1989 memory and its cool jacket she gets to wear thanks to it, and the music, "nice touch."
The original mistake said that she couldn't possibly have that memory. But according to the correction she could have heard it in the bar on with fury or in the Rambeaus' house. So it doesn't matter if it's random or not It's a memory she could have had.
I am sorry if the text is unclear, but I wrote the original mistake phrasing it that way ("Carol's memories 'jogged' by the Earth's sojourn") exactly because that is what the mistake is about, those specific memories the whole scene is built upon, Dr. Lawson cosplay and all. Sure a song you just heard on the radio 5 minutes ago is technically a "memory' being in the past, but it is not what they are talking about, even complimenting the music as being a "nice touch." If an evil mastermind were to take the shape of my Grandpa who died 10 years ago and play Daft's punk "Get Lucky" as he meets me in front of the family scrapbook dressed with his favourite smoking jacket, the song would be out of place, even moreso if he remarked about it being a nice touch.
Technically she could have "recognized" the song but maybe thought it was some new version of Killing Joke's "Eighties" which was released in 1984, since the riffs are so similar. And no I'm not serious about that.
Continuity mistake: The Supreme Intelligence has a worried expression when Carol gets close, and drops the energy beam that was not working. However, inexplicably she's smiling once Carol rips the control device from her neck, before switching back to the kind of "Oh no" face she had before. (01:31:45)
Continuity mistake: When Carol asks "Arm wrestle for the tesseract?" Minn-erva in the background is holding her gun at a different angle than the previous shot. Following that, Bron-Char (the big white bearded Kree) assumes battle stance at least 3 times in different shots, at first reacting to Carol flipping on her feet (but looking composed in the next shot), then shown with his fist stretched out, then shown in the process of stretching said fist out. (01:33:33)
Continuity mistake: Talos has been hit and Fury asks him if he's okay. He answers "Never...better", hand on his own chest. In the next shot Fury is keeping the hand on his shoulder and Talos has his hand on Fury's arm. (01:38:30)
Continuity mistake: Dining with the Skrulls at the end of the movie, Carol responds to young Monica's "You don't know" with "He doesn't." Sam Jackson is holding his finger on the glass differently between shots. (01:47:49)
Continuity mistake: When Carol is showing Fury the upgraded communicator, in the close-up Fury is already drying his hand with the towel he grabs only later. (01:48:40)
Factual error: When Nick Fury types 'The Protector Initiative', that's a newer keyboard than the setting. The F11 function key has a second feature, which wasn't added until later. (01:51:15)
