Corrected entry: When Angel is jumping the fences, you can tell by the way he is jumping that he using something to spring over the fences. (00:28:50)

The King of Queens (1998)
Corrected entry: Spence asks Doug to arrange a meeting between him and Danny about possibly renting a place together. However, in the previous few episodes it is established that they are all friends already. (00:03:20)
Correction: People are often more formal when dealing with money, business, renting, etc. Spence might not have felt comfortable approaching Danny directly. Perhaps he felt that he and Danny were not as close as the rest of the guys. Spence seems to have met Danny through Doug. It would not be strange for him to present the idea to Doug first.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Barbarian Sublimation - S2-E3
Corrected entry: When Sheldon is helping Penny with the game, we see Leonard, Howard and Raj discussing what's happening. However at this point Penny is still in the room and Raj has not been drinking so shouldn't be able to speak. (00:07:40)

Norbit (2007)
Corrected entry: Rasputia's hair can change length and colour several times in a day. Mainly from a short blonde afro to long brown hair. (00:45:05 - 00:46:30)
Correction: Her natural hair is short. She wears multiple wigs to change her hair.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Corrected entry: At the start, Josh deals everyone a single card and is stopped and told to deal to the left. Camera cuts to another angle and everyone has 5 cards in their hands. (00:06:10)
Correction: It's a montage of everything that happens in the game over several hands. It's not meant to be one shot.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
Corrected entry: On the map Gregory has of the camp, the compass has the points labeled wrong. South and East are the wrong way round. (00:44:40)
Correction: The map was drawn by a kid, showing that even though Gregory acts smart, he's still a kid who doesn't know which ways South and East are.

Minions (2015)
Corrected entry: When the minions get into the car, the cardboard sign appears on the road. (00:19:00)
Correction: If you're referring to one of the billboard signs at the side of the road, there are two during the scene - one in the direction of NYC and one in the opposite direction. If you're referring to the hitchhiking Orlando cardboard sign, Kevin drops it onto the ground when he grabs Stuart and pushes him to the car.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Panty Piñata Polarization - S2-E7
Corrected entry: Penny takes Sheldon's onion ring and holds it with 2 hands. Camera cuts and one is hand is down in her lap. (00:05:00)
Correction: The camera doesn't cut from Penny having two hands on the onion ring to just one hand. After Penny picks up the onion ring with two hands, the camera cuts to Raj squealing at her for a moment. She could have easily let go of the onion ring and put her hand down on her lap during this shot.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Corrected entry: Several times throughout the show, Leonard makes reference to having sleep apnoea, a condition where the airways close up when you are asleep and you stop breathing for periods of time before your body's reflexes kick in and wake you up. However we also see him sleeping numerous times but he doesn't have any form of cpap (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine. This is vital for anyone who has sleep apnoea as it pumps air into the users airways via a nasal cannula or face mask to keep the airways open and stop the user from stopping breathing. Since sleep apnoea in the most extreme cases can cause death (depending on type of sleep apnoea) a cpap machine is vital and should be seen whenever we see Leonard sleeping or in bed.
Correction: There is no mistake simply because he chooses not to use one (if he even owns one). There are individuals with sleep apnea who don't use them and just deal with waking up in the middle of the night. If Leonard says he has to use a CPAP machine every night and then is seen not using one at night, that could qualify as a mistake, but this isn't the case.
Correction: This is simply not true, I suffer from sleep apnoea, albeit a mild form, and have never used a cpap machine. I suggest learning the facts before posting on here.
Correction: Everyone seems to be missing the important point here: Sheldon. Remember how Sheldon acted when Leonard had to have the nose operation? Would Sheldon EVER let Leonard sleep without his CPAP mask knowing Leonard has sleep apnea? Would Sheldon EVER not know that Leonard has sleep apnea? Would Leonard ever allow himself to be caught without his mask on if he has sleep apnea, and he knows that Sheldon knows - keeping in mind we all know just how often Sheldon walks right in on Leonard in bed.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Bat Jar Conjecture - S1-E13
Corrected entry: Sheldon is very particular about sitting in his spot and not allowing anyone else into his spot. We learn later on in the series that he has been this way since Leonard moved in. However at the very end of this episode, we see Leonard sat in Sheldon's spot and Sheldon sat in the arm chair. (00:19:00)
Correction: At the start of the scene, Sheldon attempts to sit in his spot, but Leonard doesn't let him, because his Physics Bowl trophy is sitting there and then Leonard moves slightly onto Sheldon's spot to make fun of him using the trophy. Presumably, he is just sitting on the arm chair because Leonard wouldn't move and he is just sitting in that seat reluctantly.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1993)
Corrected entry: Rita throws her wand down to earth and we see the red ball on the left hand side as it flashes. When the camera cuts out to show the ground falling away, the red part is now on the right.
Correction: The staff is traveling a quarter million miles. I don't think a half turn is that unlikely. Even if it didn't turn, all that would have to happen is the viewpoint to switch from one side to the other.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1993)
Corrected entry: Throughout season 1 - 3 the rangers call upon the zords. We then see them all get into their zords. However, when they go for the megazord, we see the saber tooth tiger, Triceratops, Mastodon and T-Rex all combine and form "tank mode." We then see inside the cockpit of the megazord at this stage and all 5 rangers are present. They then switch to battle mode whereby the megazord stands up and the Pterodactyl comes in and joins together creating the shield on the megazord's chest. However, up until the pterodactyl joins the others, Kimberly shouldn't be in the main cockpit as we've seen her in her zord.
Correction: The Pterodactyl zord sits on the shoulder section of the T-Rex, while in tank mode.
Correction: It's possible, and quite likely, that her Zord has some sort of autopilot. At the very least, that maneuver (which is identical every time) could easily be computerized.

The Crow (1994)
Corrected entry: When Eric tackles Tin Tin in the alley, we see him connect with Tin Tin. The shot then changes and he's about 3 foot away from Tin Tin and connects again. (00:19:00)
Correction: It's the same action shown again from a different angle, not a continuity error. This technique is used frequently with big climactic explosions too - we're not meant to assume an object exploded more than once. We're just seeing it happen multiple times.
Not always - trouble is with things like this they have to be judged on a case by case basis. Some repeated actions are sloppy editing, some are a directorial decision, so not even a "deliberate" mistake, they're just showing the same thing a couple of times for impact.

Friends (1994)
The One With Ross's Wedding, part 1 - S4-E23
Corrected entry: Emily, Ross and Monica walk past a black door, the shot changes to in front of them and back. When it goes back, the door is now a cream colour. (00:05:20)
Correction: None of the doors they pass are "cream colour" - every door they pass is black. It's all the window and door trim that are cream.
23rd Jul 2009
South Park (1997)
Corrected entry: Australia said that if South Park keeps all the space money they will call the cosmic cops. Only Randy has the number as shown.
Correction: Regardless of whether or not they had the number, this line is just a joke about how in real life people threaten to "call the cops" in an argument, usually to get their way.

Friends (1994)
The One With The Birthing Video - S8-E15
Corrected entry: When Rachel gets her Chinese food, she says she is going to get her sweats and eat it in her room. However a few seconds later, she is changed. It has to be the fastest change in history. (00:13:00)
Correction: After Rachel gets her Chinese takeout delivery, when she heads to her room it's actually 20 seconds from the time she walks past the hallway to the time she reappears from the hallway. That's ample time to throw off shoes, a blouse and pants, then pull on sweats. Done in less time in dorms everywhere.

The Mist (2007)
Corrected entry: When the guys approach the pharmacy we see the open hours on the window the right way round. However they should be backwards as we are seeing them from in the shop and they should be legible to those walking outside the the shop. (01:17:15)
Correction: If you watch closely, you'll notice that when the group approaches the pharmacy, the doors are already opened and propped outwards onto the sidewalk. What you're seeing are the words on the door through the plate glass window. If the doors were closed, the hours would indeed be seen backwards from the interior of the pharmacy as per normal.

I Give It a Year (2013)
Corrected entry: Simon Baker's character is over in London on business. He states at one point about staying in London for a short time. However, at the end, he is still in London despite having 4 months past.
Correction: We know Guy (Baker) owns one of the factories in London, so he's not a mid-level employee who has to get back home after finishing his business. He also used to spend summers in London as a kid (so a couple months may be a short time to him). But he is also interested in pursuing Nat or Chloe, so he simply extends his trip.

Furious 7 (2015)
Corrected entry: During the head on crash with the Aston Martin and the Charger near the end, none of the Aston's airbags deploy. (01:38:00)
Correction: It is revealed that the Aston Martin was heavily modified and reinforced to be an unfair fight. It's entirely plausible that Shaw disabled several of the car's safety features during this modification.

Correction: Remember the scene from "Shaun of the Dead" where Shaun used a trampoline to leap over the fence? Angel could have used a trampoline on the third one, where he visibly springs on something in what could possibly be a children's backyard on a mini-trampoline, but we never see what he leaps on. The first two jumps have no indication of aid.
There is a clear indication of aid on the first two as well. The third one is obvious he uses a trampoline.
