A.K.A Customer Service is Standing By - S3-E4
Factual error: Trish knocks the bad guy into the pool - he sinks to the bottom where Erik can conveniently grab the knife and cut himself free. But bodies don't sink - he should be floating on the surface, still out of reach.

A.K.A I Have No Spleen - S3-E3
Character mistake: Jeri asks Kith what an open marriage is. She's a sexually promiscuous experienced New York lawyer, middle aged...there's zero chance she needs that defined for her.

Trivia: The yellow/black costume that Trish tries on and says "hell no" to when she's trying to decide on a crime fighting outfit is Hellcat's costume from the comics.

Red Light, Green Light - S7-E4
Other mistake: The crash at the start is staged - the semi truck is driving at 20/30mph, is T-boned by the van, and stops instantly. No screech of brakes, no allowance for the driver's reaction time. In the shot of the impact it's moving at barely walking pace, hence being able to stop so quickly.

Trivia: The third act was completely changed after reshoots. The final battle originally took place in space, and was then relocated to a train.

Continuity mistake: Despite having the Phoenix power at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse, which manifests around her as a Phoenix firebird and she uses to defeat the titular villain, Jean Grey doesn't actually get merged with the entity until 9 years later in this movie.
Suggested correction: Jean used her full psychic powers in the previous film, not the Phoenix Force. Even without the Phoenix Force she was an incredibly powerful, Omega Level mutant.
The Phoenix firebird is literally shown to be emerging from Jean's body when she kills Apocalypse. She can't both have the Phoenix firebird already within her and then somehow also have it invade her body in this film. The mistake is valid, and I would argue it should be listed as a plot hole more than a continuity error.

Other mistake: The date of birth shown in Neo's passport is 13th September 1971. The date of birth shown in his security file is 11th March 1962.

Trivia: The Ewoks were originally going to be Wookiees, but because Chewbacca had already been shown to be able to fly a spaceship, not to mention repair it and be adept with energy weapons, Wookiees were too technologically advanced, so a new race had to be created.

Crowley: That unicorn's gonna make a run for it! Oh, it's too late. It's too late! Ah, you've still got one of them.

Hard Times - S1-E3
Trivia: Budget limitations means the original plan for the Globe scene to feature a packed theatre had to be cut down, because they couldn't afford hundreds of extras with full costume starting at 5am, in order to finish before the theatre was used for a performance later in the day. Unwilling to cut the scene entirely, Neil Gaiman realised if they altered the sequence such that Hamlet was a flop, they could get away with just a few extras and work that into the dialogue.

Hard Times - S1-E3
Trivia: The "cold open" for this episode runs for nearly 30 minutes, meaning the "intro" sequence doesn't actually come until halfway through the episode.

Factual error: Often when bombs are shown falling, they're depicted with a distinct whistling sound. Two problems there. Bombs don't inherently whistle - some bombs in WW2 were specifically fitted with whistles for the psychological warfare element, but the vast majority are silent. Secondly, the standard noise heard from the ground, a high pitched whistle slowly getting lower, is wrong. The doppler effect, whereby a sound changes as it moves closer to someone hearing it, means the pitch heard would increase, not decrease, as a bomb falls towards you. The sound most often used in movies/TV shows of a whistling bomb is what the pilots dropping the bomb would hear, not the people it was falling towards.

Trivia: Hugh Jackman agreed to a cameo with two conditions - that money would be donated to his child's school, and that he be allowed to swear.

Trivia: Joss Whedon did a rewrite for the script, but only two lines were kept, uncredited. One is "do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else", which he maintains was meant to be much more throwaway, but was instead botched by Halle Berry's dramatic delivery. The second, much better line is Wolverine's "you're a dick" directed at Cyclops to prove it's the real him.

Trivia: Aziraphale's bookshop has Terry Pratchett's signature fedora and scarf hanging on the hatstand, a tribute to the sadly deceased co-author of the novel. It's visible behind Crowley when he's bemoaning losing the antichrist.

Continuity mistake: When Ethan is thrown from the helicopter, he lands with a straight black strap attached to his left wrist. When he comes to a few seconds later, the strap is now doubled up and he's gripping it, it's not attached to him. (02:03:30 - 02:04:30)
