Something Nice Back Home - S4-E10
Corrected entry: When Jack goes to visit Hurley in the mental hospital, the doctor lets Jack into Hurley's room via a swipecard. When Jack leaves he just opens the door and walks out. Surely this room would be secure both inside and out? (00:14:50)
17th Mar 2012
Corrected entry: After Kate climbs over the pylon fence, in the shots were she is checking on Mikhail (man with the eye patch) his "dead" body is breathing. (00:27:55)
10th Oct 2005
Continuity mistake: When Alex's crate gets knocked off the ship, there is water dripping into the crate, yet in the following shots the crate is completely dry.
9th Feb 2008
Other mistake: When Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are talking together inside the boxes, Alex has three holes in his box allowing light in for him. Melman, Marty and Gloria have that too, but Gloria's box is lying under Alex's and Marty's, so it can't get as much light - but it does.
Suggested correction: When we see the outsides of the box on the ship we can also see little gaps caused by wood planks nailed to the sides of the box so there should be a little light coming from in between to Gloria's box holes.

Subway Wars - S6-E4
Revealing mistake: When Ted uses his laptop to get directions to the restaurant, Bing shows Los Angeles (where it's filmed) as their current location, instead of NY where the show is set. (00:02:15)
Suggested correction: Depending on the location settings on his laptop, they could be giving a false reading. My laptop shows I'm in Cardiff Wales while in fact I'm nowhere near.
The show was actually filmed on a film set in Los Angeles which is probably why the laptop says Los Angeles as the current location. This most probably slipped past the editing crew.

The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie - S4-E10
Factual error: Ross falls asleep on the train and ends up in Montreal, where the woman he meets tells him "it's only a 2-hour ferry ride to Nova Scotia." Yeah, more like a journey of between 13 hours (12-hour car ride plus 1-hour ferry) and 23 hours (multiple bus legs plus 1-hour ferry.) The character could have been lying to Ross, but it's not presented that way at all.
27th Dec 2018
Corrected entry: When the family arrives in Miami, they pass Kevin's bag until they reach an old man, dressed in shorts. In the initial airport scene, while Kevin is chasing his father, the same old man is there, dressed in a business suit.
25th Jan 2019
Corrected entry: Not much point in having a purpose built workshop for a speedboat 4-5 floors above river level. As shown later in Spectre there were underground moorings and easy access to the Thames at river level.
25th May 2007
Corrected entry: Near the beginning where all the people are being hanged, when the young boy is singing, you can see he has braces on his teeth.
31st Jan 2011
Corrected entry: As Gabriel is starting the download from Woodlan to the "portable" server set up by his men, the progress bar shows "0 of 500TB used". Even with today's harddrives, one would need to carry 250 to 500 harddrives to reach this capacity.
Correction: Gabriel didn't download the data to a portable server. His men went to Woodlawn to disable all the safety protocols (firewalls etc) and the download was completed via the normal Internet to a server farm elsewhere. This is why Gabriel turned off phone networks, satellites etc to make sure he had as much bandwidth available as possible for his download.
16th Sep 2004
Corrected entry: If Dr. Alfred Lanning had fallen from the massive height that he did in the film, his body would have been in a much more mangled state.
30th Sep 2002
Corrected entry: Bruce is sitting in what looks like a C-130 while terrorists throw grenades in it through the window. Never mind the grenades going off too late, because they wouldn't all have made it through the small window anyway. In fact some of those grenades would've bounced back killing the terrorists also, which would've made for a surprising end to this movie. (01:17:45)
Correction: It is improbable that the terrorists could toss all the grenades in a small window, but it isn't factually impossible.

Cancer Man - S1-E4
Character mistake: When Walt is in the bathroom using hydrogen peroxide to clean his leg wound he received from killing Crazy 8, he notices blood on his pants. He tries to clean the bloodstain off with a toothbrush. I think that any and EVERY chemist would know that hydrogen peroxide almost instantly removes blood stains from clothing. But, instead of using this somewhat common knowledge, Walt scrubs the stain with a toothbrush under the sink. Even if he had never heard of this 'trick', given the nature of H2O2 and Walt's understanding of chemistry, he would have realized this chemical solution immediately... Especially since he used the peroxide seconds before discovering the blood stain. (00:15:55 - 00:17:10)
30th Jun 2018
Other mistake: Bender wears a magnetic bow tie. However in series 1 episode 2 it's shown magnets screw up his circuits and make him sing songs. It's mentioned in a previous entries correction that it's only when the magnet is near his head. This isn't true as it's shown in others episodes that it happens when a magnet is attached anywhere on him.
Suggested correction: It's strong magnets near his head that mess up his inhibition unit. The bow tie is a very weak magnet.
27th Aug 2003
Corrected entry: In the scene where the woman and Mason match the fingerprint to Dr. Lecter they use a computer. In no part of the fingerprinting process do you use a computer, even for a match.
14th Jan 2019
Trivia: The film made $400m, the lowest in the franchise, and had mediocre reviews.
Suggested correction: Actually, "The Scorpion King" has by far the lowest gross of the '99 "Mummy" franchise. Additionally, I don't see how reviews constitute trivia.
15th Jan 2019
Corrected entry: When Noland is casually urinating into the ocean late one night we see a light on the horizon. It can only be from a passing ship. Noland doesn't react at all, and it is directly in his line of sight. He couldn't miss it.
Correction: Um, did you watch the rest of the scene? he literally sees the light when he's done urinating and says "ship!" and then yells "help" and shines his flashlight.
Correction: That's the entire point of the scene. When he looks in the direction of the light, it stops, and it's only visible when he's not looking. It's meant as a sad, "missed opportunity" scene.
What absolute nonsense. He is looking straight at it. In fact it is a light from a building on the island used as a filming location (Monuriki, Fiji) that the post production crew forgot to paint out, making it two different types of film mistake.
14th Jan 2019
Other mistake: When Kate and Teddy go outside to see Santa, the time on the camera doesn't change after a minute.
Suggested correction: Movie time and real time are not the same unless stated such as the show 24.
I dunno, time can be compressed when cutting between things, but a continuous sequence always operates in real time. We might cut out part of a journey, but if someone's onscreen talking for 3 minutes and a clock doesn't change, that's a mistake.
30th May 2016
Corrected entry: After Angel leaves Skinner's office to confront the shoplifter, (before Angel arrives next to him at the shelves) the shoplifter isn't putting any items into his pockets - he's merely miming the gesture.
31st Dec 2016
Corrected entry: When Columbo arrives at the murder scene at the start, Anderson says that the victim was struck twice. When you see the villain committing the murder, he hits the victim more than twice.

Correction: Not necessarily - Hurley is in the institution voluntarily, there is no point in locking him up. There is a point in giving him privacy if he wants it, however.
Even if that's the case the room would need to be secured for other people who stay in the room.
