Family Guy (1999)

Tales of a Third Grade Nothing - S7-E6

Other mistake: In the cutaway at Ford's Theater, Abraham Lincoln receives a cell phone call from someone who is implied to be Thomas Jefferson. While the anachronism of a cell phone in the Civil War can be ignored as humorously deliberate, Lincoln can't be talking to Jefferson; by April of 1865, when Lincoln was assassinated, Jefferson had been dead for nearly 40 years.

Suggested correction: Where are you getting the implication that it is Thomas Jefferson? You seem to have misunderstood the joke. "I hear you took that black chick home. You're welcome." is not a reference to Jefferson sleeping with one of his slaves. It's simply a reference to Lincoln freeing the slaves. Tom is just a generic name. (Besides, if you're complaining about historical anachronisms in Family Guy cutaways, you're probably missing the point.)

The Skulls (2000)

Stupidity: A secret society having surveillance cameras in its meeting place defeats the purpose of a secret society.

The Skulls (2000)

Stupidity: The premise that Will's death could be covered up as a staged suicide is preposterously absurd. Not only is there video proof that he was murdered, but at least two well-connected people, including a sitting U.S. Senator and a federal judge, know about it.

Zootopia (2016)

Judy Hopps: What did you do that made Mr. Big so mad at you?
Nick Wilde: I, um... I may have sold him a very expensive wool rug that was made from the fur of a skunk...'s butt.
Judy Hopps: Oh, sweet cheese and crackers.

Scotty: Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
Kirk: You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.

Trivia: Near the beginning of the film, Addy's mother mentions that a movie is shooting nearby, an allusion to "The Lost Boys", which actually was partly shot at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz.

Batman Forever (1995)

Alfred: I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but I have some rather distressing news about Master Dick.
Bruce Wayne: What? Is he all right?
Alfred: I'm afraid Master Dick has... gone traveling.
Bruce Wayne: He ran away?
Alfred: Actually, he took the car.
Bruce Wayne: He boosted the Jag?
Alfred: Not the Jaguar. The other car.
Bruce Wayne: The Bentley?
Alfred: No, sir. The *other* car.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

Character mistake: When he rescues the baby T-Rex, Nick says that "she" has a broken leg, but for the rest of the film, the dinosaur is referred to as a male.

Stalag 17 (1953)

Question: I've heard that, because the film was shot in sequential order, some of the actors were unaware who the spy is until the last three days of filming. When they were offered their roles, wouldn't they have received a copy of the script to read in advance to learn their lines?

Cubs Fan

Answer: The cast would have received copies of the script but with parts of the last scene omitted. They would be given the missing pages during the last days of the shoot, in which time they learn their lines, rehearse, then film the ending. Considering the time involved in filming a movie, actors do not necessarily memorize the entire script beforehand, but do so as each scene is shot. Also, it's questionable as to whether or not any of the cast did not know the ending as the movie was based on the Broadway play.

The Juice Is Loose - S7-E9

Factual error: Joe's plan to trick OJ into confessing to the 1994 murders is moot since, having been acquitted, the double jeopardy provision would prevent him from being tried for the same crime twice, and as a cop, Joe would know that.

Suggested correction: The plan to get OJ to confess had nothing to do with getting the confession, so he could be arrested or tried again. And at this point, the civil trial already found OJ "responsible" for the murders. Since OJ has always maintained his innocence, getting a confession on tape would just be big news.
