Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

The Simpsons (1989)
Character mistake: Before their first performance, the director of "La Boheme" wishes Homer good luck. To anyone in professional theatre, doing so is the cardinal sin of theatrical superstition and is never done; the appropriate phrase is "break a leg."

Deliberate mistake: During the final musical number, just after Marge sings "I'm going bald from stress," the family sings "But we're happy just the way we are," but Homer's mouth doesn't move, because the producers forgot to record Dan Castellaneta's lines.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)
Character mistake: Characters refer to the Dallas and the Red October as "ships," but anyone stationed aboard a submarine would know to call it a "boat."

The Wicker Man (1973)
Trivia: Edward Woodward saw the Wicker Man structure for the first time on the day the climax was shot, so his cry "Oh, God. Oh, Jesus Christ" is part him acting and part his own genuine reaction.

Carol Danvers: Did you have a rough day, Agent Fury?

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One - S5-E9
Trivia: One question Marv Wolfman continues to get asked at fan conventions is why he killed Kara off in the "Crisis" comics. With so many characters established as having survived Krypton's destruction - including Clark, Kara, Krypto the Superdog, criminals banished to the Phantom Zone, and the bottled Kandor - his goal was to make Superman unique as the planet's sole survivor; killing Kara gave him the creative freedom to return Clark to his origin as the Last Son of Krypton.

Trivia: The 9/11 attacks occurred during production. As all planes were grounded, Annette O'Toole had Michael McKean drive her to and from Vancouver; during those car trips, they wrote the songs which later appeared in A Mighty Wind. They later earned a Best Original Song Oscar nomination for "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow."
