Other mistake: When Lisa checks Marge's resume, she reads it and turns it over. But there is no text on the back as there should be. (00:06:30)

The Simpsons (1989)
Bart's Friend Falls in Love - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode when Bart runs away from Homer, Homer starts rolling down the stairs. The banister disappears between shots. After Homer gets to the bottom the banister reappears. (00:01:40)

The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Otto is playing the guitar with bart in the middle of the night, there are close-ups of Otto whenever he is singing. You can see that the wall behind him is plain. However, when there is a wide shot of otto and bart, the wall behind otto has two tables leaned against them. (00:15:50)

Audio problem: Where Lurleen sings the line "I tried to kiss him," on the TV show Ya-Hoo!, you can see that her lips aren't moving. (00:20:35)

1917 (2019)
Corrected entry: The entire premise of the movie is flawed. If the General needed to get an order to Col McKenzie, the quickest and surest means would have been to drop a message from an aircraft. In fact, the field beyond the aid station at the end of the movie would have been perfectly suitable for an aircraft of the time to land and hand-deliver a message the day before the assault.
Correction: The field beyond the aid station at the end of the movie was also in a prime position to be bombarded by enemy artillery. Regardless, this is not how messages were sent during WWI.

White House Down (2013)
Corrected entry: The 8 minute countdown for the raptor strike lasted 13 minutes.
17th Jun 2014
White House Down (2013)
Corrected entry: After the explosion - I think the first one - the terrorists are going around killing the security men and taking their weapons - with one security man down and his gun on the floor, there is a yellow marker under his gun, we see the marker when the gun is taken. Maybe the yellow marker is there as a position marker, so the actor knows where to put his gun after he has been "killed" and fallen down. (00:31:50)
Correction: The 'marker' actually looks like it is a metal plate with screws attached to the floor itself. So I don't think it is a marker at all.

Schindler's List (1993)
Factual error: In the beginning, when the Germans are setting up the tables to record the names, one German puts down a plastic stamp pad. Stamp pads of that era were metal.
Suggested correction: Not true. Rubber stamp pads were invented in 1866. By WW2 they were easily available.
I do not believe the mistake refers to the stamp itself or the ink pad, but to the container holding the ink pad. The stamp is made of rubber, but the ink pad should be contained in metal.
Personally I think it is a metal stamp pad. Maybe a second pair of eyes to confirm? At 1:31 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UoF6uIQOK8.
It could have easily been celluloid or Bakelite - both had been around for decades.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Corrected entry: Newbie is told to stop saluting the Captain because it makes him a priority target, but Tom Hanks sports his Captain's bars throughout the movie.

London Has Fallen (2016)
Plot hole: Banning knows where there is an MI6 safe house but has "no option" but to head for the US Embassy. He could have gone for the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Knightsbridge Barracks, Downing Street, the Palace of Westminster or Scotland yard, all knee deep in security.
Suggested correction: The whole premise of not being able to go to the embassy is because they (the terrorists) will expect it. Banning also makes it clear to Asher that the entire security services are no longer to be trusted due to an insider. Going to any place "knee deep in security" is literally walking into a potential terrorist. The head of the UK response team even states they don't know who can be trusted and they need to eliminate the ones that have infiltrated the police forces. Hence the MI6 safe house.
Suggested correction: Considering the fact that there was a mole inside Scotland Yard, going there wasn't really an option.

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: Towards the beginning of the film, Morgan Freeman's character name is Allan Trumball. Later in the film it changes to Alex.
20th Dec 2013
Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the movie as the Marines are once again raising the flag on the White House after the terror attack you can see that the roof is still brutally damaged and there has been no repair work done. When the camera pans over toward the Washington monument, you can see that the monument is already being reconstructed with scaffolding all around it. (01:45:30)
Correction: Yes and no. Yes, the roof is badly damaged and yes, the Washington Monument has scaffolding up around it. But, no time scale is given as to how long it has been since the attack. The White House has much more damage to it, and work would have started to secure the actual house rather than starting with the roof, so it's entirely plausible that no work would have been done by this point.
7th Aug 2014
Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: During the air attack on the White House, an anti-aircraft battery pops up from the roof, which then completely ignores the attacking plane, allowing it to fly around machine gunning everyone for a while longer until the fighter shoots it down.

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Corrected entry: When a woman is shot in the head, the bullet hole is in the left side of her hat. But then when her hat falls off, the bullet hole is in the right side of her head. No, the bullet didn't pass through both sides. She was shot from the front, so there should only be one bullet hole in the same place. (00:30:00)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Other mistake: Harry now has Dudley's toy room and Dudley's is next to his, however when there is a shot outside the house there is only the one window on the left side of the house and not much space between it and the left outside wall, where is the window for Dudley's very narrow room? (00:09:00)

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: At the end-of-the-year feast the Slytherin banner is green and gold, but their house colors are green and sliver, as evident by their robes. (02:11:00)
18th Mar 2007
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Harry figures out that Hagrid got his dragon egg from "Snape"(Quirrell), at the begining of the scene, Harry's cloak is buttoned and still is when he, Hermione, and Ron are running to Hagrid's hut. When he reaches Hagrid's hut, it is unbuttoned even though he never unbuttoned it himself. (01:46:50)
1st Jun 2012
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Harry, Ron and Hermione go to the third floor corridor for the first time, they all run into the corridor with Fluffy in and close the door. In the next shot, Ron walks through the door again and closes it again. (00:59:40)
7th Dec 2008
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Dudley pops up after Hagrid gives him a pig's tail, his face and hands are clean, even though he was just eating Harry's birthday cake with his hands. (00:16:40)
