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.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
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.

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)
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.
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.
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.
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.

The Odd Couple (2015)
Food Fight - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: At the start after Teddy steals Oscar's fries, he eats them, leaving his fork empty. The angle changes and suddenly there are plenty of fries on his fork.

Happy Endings (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Dave enters the room with champagne glasses to celebrate his terrible idea, in a brief shot as he enters he's holding the glasses upside down. We cut to the other angle when he asks Alex to help him, and they're now held the right way up. As she takes them off him the angle switches again, and they're back to being upside down. (00:12:00)

Jason Bourne (2016)
Factual error: Virtually every time anyone is seen hacking with an IP address on screen, the address includes the number 256. IP addresses only go up to 255.

Caperberries and a Fat Detective - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: When they're on the phone with Adam, between shots the phone switches hands.
13th Jun 2016
Preacher (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Tulip hands over her driving licence after she's been pulled over, she puts a ring on her left hand and hands the licence over with that hand, then the angle changes and she's using her right.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Zac Efron is first in the sorority house, the sweat stains on his shirt keep coming and going.

The Flash (2014)
Revealing mistake: The sequence at the start showing a "normal" day shows a coffee shop with the Flash supposedly running out with two coffee cups.When we see his day now without super speed, the shot of the coffee shop is just a continuation of the previous one, with the same guy walking through the door. In fact if you go back and look closely at the first shot, you can just see the edge of Barry, hidden behind another customer.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Trivia: The directors have previously worked on both Community and Arrested Development - both shows get nods in this movie. Jim Rash, the Dean from Community, plays an MIT faculty member at the start. More subtle is the Bluth family's stair-car from Arrested Development, seen briefly as Captain America walks onto the airport runway before the big battle with the other Avengers.

Deadpool (2016)
Trivia: Wade Wilson is on the "Dead Pool", seen briefly at the back of the bar, but so are various celebrities, such as Bill Cosby, Kanye West, and Charlie Sheen. Perhaps most notable are Ryan Reynolds and TJ Miller, stars of the movie.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Question: Who is it that Bruce sees in his dream/vision while waiting for the file to be decrypted? It seems like it might be the Flash, given his time/dimension-travelling powers, but it doesn't look like Ezra Miller and seems to be wearing some sort of armour.
Chosen answer: It is Flash. He is wearing armour because of whatever has transpired in the future. He often wears an armoured suit in dire circumstances in the comics.
Also, if you look at the bottom of the image frame you can just make out the Flash icon on his chest piece.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Continuity mistake: Michelle ends the phonecall in her car at 6:27pm. When she regains consciousness in the bunker it's 6:29pm. Either she was retrieved from her crashed car, taken to the bunker, chained up and hooked to an IV in 2 minutes (impossible), or she's been unconscious for exactly 24 hours, which would be a sign of a serious brain injury (with no other symptoms). Either way something's not right.

Spotlight (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Rachel McAdams is interviewing Joe in the coffee shop, she starts off with a couple of lines written on her notepad, then half a page, then back to a few lines, then a full page, etc. It changes in almost every shot. (00:38:40)

Creed (2015)
Trivia: Crowd scenes in Goodison Park for the final fight were filmed at half time during an Everton game, which explains why quite a few people in the crowd are waving blue Everton football scarves during a boxing match.
30th Jan 2016
Creed (2015)
Character mistake: In the final fight at Goodison Park, the commentator says 100,000 people are in attendance. Capacity of Goodison Park is 40,000, and even allowing for people in the "pitch" area around the ring there's nowhere near space for that many, unless there was another layer of fans standing on people's shoulders.

Daddy's Home (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Will Ferrell comes home to find the tree house built, Mark Wahlberg crashes into him from the zipline, knocking him to the floor. He gets up with his jacket half off his right shoulder, where it stays throughout the scene until he corrects it, except for one shot partway through the conversation where his jacket is on properly.
