Coulson: I'm going to invent new ways to ruin the rest of your life. And we'll do whatever's necessary to get HYDRA intel from you, but your torture... Is going be internal.
May: And a little bit external.
Coulson: Sure, some of that.

Trivia: The person who introduces Leonardo DiCaprio onstage at the end of the film is the real Jordan Belfort.
13th Feb 2014
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Trivia: The humming chant Matthew McConaughey does and Leonardo DiCaprio adopts is actually something McConaughey does before scenes to relax himself and clear his head. He did it before shooting the scene with DiCaprio in the restaurant, and after a few takes DiCaprio suggested that it was put in the scene, so it stayed.
4th Feb 2014
Being Human (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Josh has got out and they go looking for him, they find Aiden on a small bridge. From a distance he's got a very dark sweat stain on his shirt. In a closer shot it's faded to nearly nothing, and gets lighter/darker in different shots throughout the scene.
9th Jan 2014
Sherlock (2010)
Continuity mistake: Sherlock is dancing with the bridesmaid towards the end. When they stop and are talking with Watson, Sherlock's hands keep switching from being behind him to in front of him, depending on the camera angle.
5th Dec 2013
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Trivia: The kiss between Thor and Jane after the credits doesn't actually feature Natalie Portman - due to scheduling issues she wasn't available, so Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky put on a wig and filmed the scene.
11th Nov 2013
Person of Interest (2011)
Continuity mistake: The blood smear on the photograph pointing out the head of HR changes position between shots.
1st Nov 2013

Plot hole: When Tim takes his sister Kit Kat back in time, she gets a sudden brain change as she realises she's now going out with his friend and finds him attractive in the changed timeline. However, Tim has no idea anything's different in his life until he gets home and discovers his daughter has become a son.
1st Nov 2013
About Time (2013)
Trivia: This is Rachel McAdams' third time travel film (she also stars in The Time Traveler's Wife and Midnight in Paris), but her character hasn't time traveled in any of the films, it's always someone else.
1st Nov 2013
Elementary (2012)
An Unnatural Arrangement - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: At the start, when The Woman first fires at the door the holes are quite dark and splintered. Then when she moves to pick up the phone the holes look far neater, like they've been drilled.
30th Oct 2013
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Take the Money and Run - S14-E2
Revealing mistake: When the shot security guard's wife demands to see him before he's taken out of the casino, the body bag he's in is unzipped, and the "dead" body very swallows, a fraction of a second before the focus is pulled back to his wife.
2nd Sep 2013
CSI: NY (2004)
White Gold - S9-E14
Continuity mistake: When Mac and Danny are telling the pizza owner about his nephew's death, in a shot from the side the man's arms are by his side, then it cuts to the front and his hands are on his hips.
24th Aug 2013
Elysium (2013)
Continuity mistake: When Matt Damon is talking to Freya's daughter before he leaves the house, there's a bit of spit on his lower lip which vanishes in some shots, only to reappear in the same place shortly afterwards.
12th Aug 2013
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013)
Continuity mistake: When Alan drops his driving gloves on the way out of the board meeting, the way they're arranged on the floor changes between shots.
15th May 2013
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Continuity mistake: In one earlyish scene, when Spock and Uhura are in a turbolift, Zoe Saldana has a faint spot on her upper lip that's been covered up. In scenes following, there's no sign of it.
22nd Apr 2013
Elementary (2012)
Character mistake: When looking at the car near the start, Sherlock says he can tell by the pattern of the bullet holes that the gun was fired in 3 round bursts. But when we saw the attack earlier, the gun fired in bursts of different lengths.
18th Apr 2013
Arrow (2012)
Other mistake: When the Huntress is attacking the safehouse, she fires a shotgun blast at Green Arrow who's several feet away, hitting a door behind him and leaving a small hole, as would be made by a slug, rather than pellets (which would have spread out a lot over that distance). She then shoots the door lock right next to her, which gets riddled with small pellet holes.
5th Apr 2013
The Avengers (2012)
Trivia: Paul Bettany, who voices Jarvis in this and the standalone Iron Man films, hasn't seen any of them. In an interview he said "This is robbery. I walk in, I say some lines on a piece of paper for two hours, and then they give me a bag of money and I leave and I go about my day...I've never seen one of them...It's not because of any snobbishness, it's just not my thing."
