Trivia: The famous "Imperial March" can be heard being played at the recruitment center on Corellia. Apparently, the Empire used it as propaganda.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
20th Jun 2018
The Conjuring (2013)
Factual error: The morning after the exorcism, the headlights on all the cars outside of the house are still on. There is no way car batteries from the 1970s would have lasted all night.
20th Jun 2018
The Conjuring (2013)
Continuity mistake: When Lorraine sees Rory in the music box mirror, the items on the wall should be reversed, since it's a mirror, but they are not. When she turns around to look, everything is in the exact same position.
15th Jun 2018
Stem (2017)
Factual error: No matter how sophisticated the STEM chip is, it would not enable Grey (Logan Marshall-Green) to go from a completely horizontal position to a completely vertical position in one fluid motion, without bending his knees, and he does this several times in the film.
10th Jun 2018
Mama (2013)
Continuity mistake: In the hospital, when Lucas looks at the map, he is wearing a dark jacket. In the shot immediately preceding this, when he first reaches for the map, he's wearing only his hospital gown.
6th Jun 2018
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Trivia: In Dryden Vos' meeting room, the golden idol from the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" can be seen briefly on one of the tables. So too is Mandalorian body armour, similar to Boba Fett's.
24th May 2018
Deadpool 2 (2018)
Trivia: Spoiler alert! Zeitgeist has the number 116 tattooed on his arm. This is a reference to the issue number of the comic in which he dies.
22nd May 2018
Deadpool 2 (2018)
Trivia: Deadpool's inmate number in the Icebox is 24601. This is the same number used by other characters such as Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons and Eric Cartman from South Park. It is also the same number of Jean Valjean in the film version of Les Miserables where Hugh Jackman played the role.

Tombstone (1993)
Trivia: Jon Tenney, who plays Sheriff Johnny Behan, is using the real Behan's actual pistol, a 4 inch Colt Sheriff's Model, in the film. Screenwriter Peter Sherayko tracked it down and purchased it in order to end an argument between him and co-writer Kevin Jarre over the type of pistol Behan had used.
24th Apr 2018
Toy Story 2 (1999)
Stupidity: Al is supposed to be a super serious toy collector and seller, but he handles valuable toys without cleaning the cheese puff dust off his hands.
Suggested correction: It's also established someone is coming over to clean said toys, dust included, and when he does the handling, he's just been sharply awakened by the TV therefore is off-kilter.
23rd Apr 2018
Toy Story 2 (1999)
Other mistake: In the elevator shaft, Buzz and the other toys react to Zurg riding the top of the elevator car before he's even visible.
20th Mar 2018
Hancock (2008)
Continuity mistake: After Mary reveals herself to Hancock, the next time she and Ray are at the kitchen table, the towel Ray picks up off the table immediately changes completely from the one that Mary uses to try and open the jar.
20th Mar 2018
Hancock (2008)
Factual error: During the bank robbery, Hancock throws a metal lamp shade to sever the leader's hand, who is holding a spring loaded, dead man switch. The switch would have released the instant the hand was severed and the muscles relaxed.
20th Mar 2018
Hancock (2008)
Factual error: When Hancock saves Ray's life by stopping the train, stopping the train instantly like that would have caused it to violently derail, likely killing everyone on the train, and causing massive damage to the entire neighborhood.
13th Mar 2018
Rawhide (1959)
Factual error: The show is set in the 1860s. However, in several episodes, trail boss Gil Favor can be seen wearing Wrangler jeans. The Wrangler brand was not introduced until 1947.
5th Feb 2018
It (2017)
Factual error: During the rock fight, Richie calls Henry Bowers a "mullet wearing a**hole." The term "mullet" wasn't coined until 1994 by the Beastie Boys in the song "Mullet Head." (01:07:15)
4th Jan 2018
Big Hero 6 (2014)
Trivia: In the original comics that serve as the basis for the film, Hiro is a child prodigy who fights to save his adoptive mother the Everwraith, an entity made from the souls of those killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Naturally, this was a little too edgy for Disney.
4th Jan 2018
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Trivia: The good witch Glinda's gown was originally used in the 1936 musical "San Francisco." It was modified slightly for use in "The Wizard of Oz."
28th Nov 2017
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Trivia: To further immerse the actors in their environment, director Milos Forman led them in unscripted group therapy sessions in which he directed the actors to develop their characters' mental illnesses organically. He would often capture footage of the actors, both in and out of character, without telling them that the cameras were rolling. The film's final cut includes a shot of a visibly irritated Fletcher reacting to a piece of direction fed to her by Forman.
