Continuity mistake: The airplane that Adrian and Le Borg are on is a modern-day jet. Just after the explosion, there's a quick aerial shot of the plane plunging from the sky. However, the plane in the scene is definitely not a jet, as seen by the shape of the wings. This appears to be stock WWII film footage of a military fighter plane that was shot down.

Columbo (1971)
Continuity mistake: Columbo wears a tuxedo the entire episode. Hours after his nephew's wedding ceremony, when Columbo's at the police station investigating the bride's abduction, his bow tie is hanging loosely around his neck. Shortly after, as he and the other detectives rush to the photography studio, the bow is now properly tied. This situation was too dire to bother redoing it, nor does Columbo ever worry about his appearance.

The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
Plot hole: Miranda orders Andy to tell Emily that she's been dropped from the Paris fashion trip. However, before Andy can deliver the news, Emily is hit by the car.

Even at the end of the movie, which is after Paris, Emily is hobbling around with a cast and on crutches.

Masquerade (1988)
Plot hole: At Tim's funeral, Olivia's attorney tells her that Tim had himself removed from Olivia's Last Will and Testament, proving he loved her and didn't want her money. However, an attorney could not legally change a client's Will without that person's knowledge and drafting a revised version.
Suggested correction: Not true. Anyone can have themselves removed as a beneficiary of a will. This is done by signing an Affidavit of Disclaimer of Inheritance at such time as someone becomes aware that they have been included in a will as a beneficiary. This is what Tim meant when he said he had removed himself from Olivia's will.

Disclosure (1994)
Factual error: "A Friend's" emails from the Univ. Of Washington look ridiculous with just text and an abbreviated name on a colored background. UW emails have a white background, the addresses have a "uw.edu" domain name and show staff name, credentials, title, and department. The UW name, logo, and other info are included. Prof. Friend's student assistant (son of Tom's co-worker) sent the emails from Friend's office, but he could have sent anonymous ones using a public WiFi and with Yahoo, Hotmail, or Google email.
