Factual error: In one scene, Winifred asks Gilbert who Trask is and Gilbert replies that Trask is the "mayor", to which Winifred just acknowledges. However, the office of mayor was not created in Massachusetts until 1823, which is 130 years after they were hanged, so given the witch's lack of knowledge of the modern day, she would have likely not known what Gilbert meant.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
Plot hole: The spell Magicae Maxima works, but it shouldn't have worked at all because there was one ingredient missing, the petrified spider.

Suggested correction: The spell works because Winifred believes it is a petrified spider. It also works because she believes that Billy Butcherson was her lover; which he wasn't, as stated several times in the movie: in the flashback scene, Billy mentions it several times to Gilbert, and especially when Sarah tells Winifred that Billy was her (Sarah's) lover, to which Winifred replies that Sarah was just a fling; so the spell can work with incorrect material as long as Winifred, as the main witch, believes it.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)
Factual error: During the scene in Chinatown Horvath refers to Sun Lok as "an old associate" "that lived 200 years ago". Horvath was in the Grimhold 200 years ago. How could he have known him? (00:31:25)

Suggested correction: Horvath was in the Grimhold after Sun Lok, as when he is freed from the Grimhold, you see Sun Lok's image. The Grimhold is a nesting doll that puts the captured Morganians in from the oldest captured, Morgana/Victoria, to the most recently captured, Horvath. The order of the Grimhold captured from oldest to recent is Morgana/Victoria, Abigail Williams, Sun Lok, Horvath.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Continuity mistake: Hogan and company use red painted gold bricks to replace the wooden stairs that they sabotaged. The steps after this episode should have been brick, but they went back to being wooden.

Suggested correction: This is technically correct; however, the series was set up to allow the episodes to be aired in any order; this is why it is always winter and some episodes do refer to other storylines and actual events/dates for episode storylines, e.g., Hogan's D-Day, which took place in June, not wintertime.

Men in Black 3 (2012)
Plot hole: When (future) Agent J and (future) Boris are fighting on top of the large red docking station for the spaceship, Agent J gets shot deliberately by Boris and jumps off the edge of the dock. Then he uses his time travel device to go back in time a few seconds earlier to be able to dodge the shots. There are a few mistakes in this part. 1) There should be another Agent J and Boris there too, as they have gone back in time to that moment again. However in the movie there are only two of them. 2) The injuries sustained by Agent J (the bone spikes in his abdomen) should have remained there when he went back in time. If it were true that you healed once you went back in time into the condition you were in at that moment, then Boris should have grown an arm back when he went back in time. 3) Due to the time loop, Agent J remembers how to dodge the shots, while Boris doesn't remember anything and is surprised by the outcome.
