Question: It is stated that Optimus is a descendant of the last remaining Primes which sacrificed themselves to stop The Fallen from destroying the sun. If the Primes were all dead, how could he be 'descended' from them and how can he himself be a Prime?

Question: During the first film, there is a huge battle in the middle of downtown L.A. (Mission City), witnessed by thousands of people and causing millions of dollars in damage. In this movie, this is just an Internet rumor? How did they cover this up? Did the government pay off thousands of people and repair all the damage that quickly? And, most importantly, in the first movie didn't Jon Voight go on TV and tell the whole world they were dealing with a superior technological civilization?

Continuity mistake: When The Fallen decrees that the Decepticons will now make their presence known, one of them knocks the flagpole off the top of the eastern tower of the Brooklyn Bridge. A short time later, another shot of the tower shows the flagpole is back and there is no damage.

Other mistake: After imagining himself on fire, Ben rubs his hands all over his white shirt. Despite the fact that his hand was recently cut, there is no blood transferred to his shirt.

Continuity mistake: During the seance, the white goat disappears for one shot (from high above the table) and then reappears.

Trivia: Director Sam Raimi has a cameo as one of the spirits that appear during the seance.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when Kirk is being awarded his medal, behind the Federation Counsel you can see 3 flags in the background- the center flag is the California state flag. After Kirk shakes Pike's hand, and the camera pans up and back, the California flag is hanging significantly different so that it is no longer recognizable, seeming almost blank white. As the ceremony is indoors and all attending are standing motionless, this flag should not have moved. (01:56:25)

Character mistake: When Chekov is discussing the plan to hide behind Saturn, he says, "...if Mr. Scott can get us to warp 4...". But on the viewscreen, it shows they are already traveling at warp 4.31. (01:34:40)

Continuity mistake: When Edward stabs the bus, the length of his sword is inconsistent. For it to reach all the way down as far as it did (as seen from inside the bus), it would have to be much longer than it is throughout the rest of the movie.

Factual error: The bus that Edward stabs has an NYC Transit X90 route marker on it. This route does not go through Times Square.

Continuity mistake: When Peter and MJ are in the cafe, before Doc Ock attacks, the same sequence of cars and pedestrians outside the window goes by several times. Pay particular attention when the taxi goes by.

Trivia: Director David Lean has a cameo as the motorcyclist at the Suez Canal who cries out to Lawrence, "Who are you?"

Visible crew/equipment: Lighting equipment is visible in Mathis' sunglasses, just before he is shocked while talking to Bond.

Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the film, when Bond is talking to Dryden, the wire used to flip the chair is visible leading from the chair, off screen.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Incredible and Mirage are having dinner next to the wall of fire, the long shot shows them at opposite ends of a very long table. All of the following close up shots of Mirage, shown over Mr. Incredible's shoulder, show them as being much closer together, at a much smaller table. (00:40:50)

Revealing mistake: When Mary and Hancock are fighting throughout the city, they hit buildings, pavement, etc., doing massive damage, but their clothes are almost completely unaffected and are barely dirty.

Character mistake: While he is describing his origin, Dr. Manhattan mentions a circulatory system appearing at a military base. However, what is actually shown is a nervous system, as it depicts a brain and spinal cord.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frank does his striptease, he tosses his jacket and shirt to the side. In the overhead shot, the jacket and shirt are nowhere to be seen.

Factual error: If Billy/Jigsaw's facial muscles and tendons were "completely destroyed" as his doctor indicates, there is no way he would be able to speak normally, and especially not in his original voice.

wizard_of_gore ★

Factual error: The idea that Lawrence's Arab army almost entirely deserted him as he moved further north, as shown over the second half of the film, is entirely inaccurate. According to records, only one or two Arabs actually deserted.
