Continuity mistake: When the house is attacked by the Timekeeper's goons, the kids escape to the panic room through and elevator in the fireplace, and the empty fireplace/elevator is replaced with a fruit basket. When the goons search the living room, the basket is now gone.

Spy Kids: All the Time in the World (2011)
Continuity mistake: At one point, the Timekeeper threatens the spies by extending a blade from his arm. When the shot shows the Timekeeper, the blade looks like an ordinary sword, but when the shot changes to show our heroes, the blade looks like a clock hand. This happens twice in the scene.

Eden Lake (2008)
Other mistake: Bonnie the Rottweiler is referred to several times by her owner Brett as a female, yet it's a male dog.

Trivia: J.J. Abrams familiar 'Slusho' logo/ad can be seen briefly in the Kelvin gas station that gets destroyed.

Lake Placid 2 (2007)
Continuity mistake: Every time someone falls in the water, from the surface the water is shown as muddy and murky, but from underneath the water is crystal clear.

Clash of the Titans (1981)
Continuity mistake: When Calibos stabs the bag containing Medusa's head, a lot of blood comes pouring out. Yet when the camera cuts to the ground, there is only a very small amount.

Clash of the Titans (1981)
Continuity mistake: After Perseus kills Medusa and her headless body falls, blood starts to pour out of her neck in a small pool. The camera instantly cuts to his shield, and it is already sitting in a very large pool of blood, and is starting to dissolve. There was no time lapse, so there was no time for the pool of blood to have expanded that far.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Factual error: They are about to perform major brain surgery on Chekov, but he is not nearly prepped for such a procedure. His head is not shaved, the area is not marked or masked and it has not been swabbed with Betadine, even though they are about to cut into his skull with a bonesaw. The "they haven't had time to prepare yet" argument doesn't hold water, because the surgeon is already approaching Chekov's head with the saw. (01:24:30)

Dinner for Schmucks (2010)
Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Barry takes the "Tim" mouse out of the trash to work on it, he takes off his regular glasses and puts on his magnifying visor. When he flips the visor up, his regular glasses are still on underneath.

Splice (2009)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, when Elsa and Clive are burning Dren's things, Elsa finds some drawings that Dren did of her. When she first pick up the pile, there are four drawings in her hands. When the camera pans out, instantly there are several more.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Deanna is trying to seduce Riker, she scratches him and there are three deep scratches on his neck. Later, when Doctor Crusher treats him, one of the scratches is now on his cheek, and only two are on his neck.

Star Trek (2009)
Character mistake: When the Enterprise first comes under attack from the Narada, Captain Pike gives the order "transfer power from port nacelles to forward shields" (confirmed by subtitles). As the Enterprise has only one port nacelle, his use of the plural is not correct.
9th Nov 2009
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Revealing mistake: When Chekhov and Terrell see the Ceti Eels moving around in the tank for the first time, it's obvious that it's not sand in the tank. As the creatures move underneath, all the 'grains' move in unison, and not a single grain of sand is disturbed nor do they tumble over one another.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Trivia: Director Quentin Tarantino has a cameo in the "Nation's Pride" film within a film. He voices an American soldier who says: "I implore you, we must destroy that tower."
6th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Factual error: When Starscream and Megatron are shown talking after Sam has escaped, they are supposed to be in New York City. They are actually on top of the "Gas Company Tower" which is in Los Angeles.
6th Jul 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Factual error: During the Decepticon attack on Paris, there is a shot of the Hotel Crillon with the Eiffel Tower in the background. The tower is actually on the opposite side of Paris, making this shot impossible.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
Factual error: When Sean is crossing the chasm by jumping on the 'magnetic rocks', he jumps onto the edge of several of the rocks. Assuming that the rocks could actually float in the magnetic field as shown, standing on the edge of one of them would cause it to immediately flip.
1st Jul 2009
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
Continuity mistake: When Sean first sees the 'magnetic rocks' forming a bridge across the chasm, there is a great distance between him and the other side, and about 20 floating rocks. When he starts to cross, the distance is now much shorter, and he only jumps on 6 or 7 rocks to get across.
30th Jun 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Factual error: When the Decepticons are reviving Megatron, General Morshower states something like "coming up from 9,000 fathoms". 9,000 fathoms is approximately 16,000 meters. The Laurentian Abyss, where it was stated in the first movie that Megatron was dropped, is around 6,000 meters deep.
