Moana (2016)

Video

Continuity mistake: When Maui and Moana are on their way to return the stone, the base of Maui's hook is entirely on the boat. From a different angle, part of it is hanging over the edge.

Moana (2016)

Video

Continuity mistake: After Moana narrowly escapes drowning, she drags herself ashore next to some debris from a boat, one large piece especially, being by her right hand. After the pig runs away, she's not moved, but the debris around her has changed, and the large piece has disappeared.

Moana (2016)

Video

Continuity mistake: After the sea retreats from Moana, a fish gets stranded by a shell and flaps its way back into the water, leaving a noticeable mark in the sand. As Moana approaches the shell in a different angle, the sand around it is undisturbed.

Moana (2016)

Video

Continuity mistake: After the chief stops his mother telling scary stories, pictures drop behind the kids. The one to the left of the one of Maui has three creatures with spiky heads. After the chief is knocked over we see those pictures again, and the one of three creatures has been replaced by one of an island with a cloud above it.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story mistake picture Video

Continuity mistake: When Jyn meets Saw, in most shots the hose for his mask is well through the loop on his suit, but in one closeup shot the mask is right up against the hose, then jumps back. (00:40:00)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story mistake picture Video

Continuity mistake: When Galen and Krennic are talking at the farm, in some shots the wind is very strong, judging by Krennic's cape and Galen's hair. In others there's virtually no wind at all. This changes immediately between shots, there's no time for the wind to swell or fade. (00:03:30)

Plot hole: The shuttle in the opening sequence is flying to the farm, over Jyn's head, directly to the farm, but somehow arrives after she's got home and been hidden in the cave. (00:01:15 - 00:03:15)

Deadpool (2016)

Plot hole: After an assault on the scale that's been witnessed, covering a wide area of London by extremely well prepared attackers, there's no way Marine 1 would fly to the airport at low altitude within easy range of missiles, and then when attacked, double back over the areas that have already been attacked where hostiles would still be present. (00:35:00)

Jon Sandys

Factual error: When they spot the guy with the missile from the helicopter, the pilot says "we're being pinged", and Banning says "stingers." Stinger missiles are infra-red seeking, passively tracking the heat of a target, so there's no way to know if you're being tracked by one or not. As a highly-trained secret service agent, he'd know that. (00:36:50)

Continuity mistake: After escaping from the office, the Rock is under the car up to his fanny pack, then in another shot his legs are almost totally under. Then back and forth a couple of times.

Continuity mistake: At the end, as the crew are talking about being arrested for feelings, the time on the bridge clock is 17:56:19 as Chekov sits down. We hear the viewscreen activate, cut to see Sulu talking, and the time above the screen is suddenly 17:56:28.

Jon Sandys

Continuity mistake: When time freezes, we see the Hatter's family freeze in the ant farm. When time is mended, he holds the farm close, and his family should have unfrozen at the top of the sand, but they aren't there.

Tango & Cash (1989)

Question: At the start, why does Tango empty his gun (of unused cartridges) and reload with different bullets before shooting the tanker? Unless I missed something, it's never explained.

Jon Sandys

Answer: He was doing a combat reload, where you eject all the rounds, spent or not and fill the revolver with new ones. It guarantees six shots, rather than relying on "indexing" where you count every round fired.

stiiggy

That doesn't make any sense since he hadn't fired a single round and the gun was fully loaded.

It's hard to tell, but it does look like there were at least some empty shells that land on the ground. A revolver isn't going to eject spent shells, so there's no way to say it was fully loaded.

Bishop73

Answer: It's not specified, but I would suspect that he changed from a .38 Special to a .357 round or something. You can shoot a .38 Special out of a .357 Magnum gun and maybe for the movie they wanted to add a shot of him doing a reload to a higher power cartridge for the effect. Why anyone with a .357 Magnum gun would routinely carry a .38 Special round is beyond me.

It is common to carry .38 special rounds in a .357 carry revolver to reduce the risk of over penetration and target reacquisition. In a nutshell, .38 is a self defense round while .357 is a hunting or combat round.
