Trivia: The photograph in the barn of Henry Dailey (Mickey Rooney) as a young jockey is actually a still shot of Rooney from the 1944 film, "National Velvet," starring Elizabeth Taylor. Rooney played jockey Mi Taylor.

Revealing mistake: The morning after Ronnie and Roy's big fight, Roy starts cleaning up his clay "sculpture." Before he pulls its upper portion off, you can see the pre-made seam (which is poorly disguised by the clay) where the top is attached to the bottom. When he tears it off, the lower portion is perfectly smooth and flat on top (simulating Devil's Tower) where it was obviously pre-cut.

Plot hole: While the wedding party is getting ready to leave Charlotte's apartment, Big calls Carrie's cell phone. Lily (Charlotte's young daughter) answers, immediately closes it without speaking, then drops the phone into her purse that she takes with her to the wedding. Big continually calls back, but even though Lily is always with one of her parents, no can hear Carrie's phone is ringing inside Lily's purse. Lily only closed the phone, it was not turned off, the ringer was turned up, and the battery was charged. Lily and Harry rode to the library separately and during the time Big had been trying to call Carrie. Harry should have heard the phone.

Continuity mistake: While Nia Vardalos is talking to Richard Dreyfus, just after offering him the ice cream cone, the stains on her jacket's left lapel are either there, almost totally disappear, or change shape.

Show generally

Question: Are there more than three Star Fleet uniform colors? In the episode where Dr. Crusher is pulled into an alternate dimension aboard the Enterprise, there is an older science officer (not a recurring character) who is wearing a green uniform. When he is next to Dr. Crusher in her blue uniform, the difference is quite noticeable. Red is command, blue is sciences and medical, and gold is engineering, security, and ship services. What would green be for? I've only seen it in this one episode.

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant, Michael, Sollozzo, and Captain McCluskey have just sat down at the table and the waiter comes over to take their order and pour wine. McCluskey asks Sollozzo what's good to order, and he recommends the veal. Before the waiter leaves the table, McCluskey is suddenly eating his dinner, even though they just arrived. By the way he is using his knife and fork, it is obvious that he is eating an entree, and not a salad or an appetizer.

Revealing mistake: When Jacob is injured by the newborn vampire in the final battle, the Cullens and the Quileutes are crouched around him. The top of Jacob's flesh-colored body suit is quite visible at his waist; he is supposed to be nude after phasing back into human form.

Plot hole: Just after Rita rescues Jeff, Diane's grave is seen close to where Jeff was buried alive. Even though Diane's been dead for several years, her make-shift grave site looks like it was freshly dug. There are no fallen leaves or other debris on top, no new vegetation (moss, grass, weeds, etc.) of any type growing on it, nor has the mound of dirt settled, shifted, or been affected by the weather.

Continuity mistake: While Rita is being held by Barney inside the cabin, she looks outside the open door and sees the mound of dirt where Jeff has been buried alive, just a few feet beyond the porch. When she escapes, she has to run a long ways through the brush to get to where Jeff is.

Continuity mistake: Just after showing Bella his room, Edward takes her up into the tall tree to see the view. In the close-up shot, the tree they are in has a different shape to its trunk and limbs and is actually a different tree type from the one that is shown when the scene cuts to a aerial long-shot and pans away.

Visible crew/equipment: Just after the Castaways escape the hut by climbing down the cliff with the homemade rope, they are chased by the natives, also descending the rope. After the Castaways have set the rope on fire, a heavy safety harness is seen around one of the native's waist. As the rope burns upwards, an attached cable pulls him up.

Continuity mistake: Percy, Annabeth, and Grover escape in the sports car that was on display in the Lotus Club. It smashes through the casino doors and onto the street, but it emerges completely undamaged - no dents, scratches, or broken glass, whatsoever.

raywest ★

Continuity mistake: As the group runs into the aviary, they slam the metal doors shut, bolting them. The spinosaurus repeatedly bashes the doors from the other side. However, you can see through the small gap along the top of the doors that there is nothing that big behind them, not even a shadow is moving; there is only open space and daylight.

Plot hole: When it's learned that Jonah has taken a flight to New York by himself, the panicked adults never think to contact United Airlines, the New York Police Department, port authorities, airport security, the taxi companies, or the Empire State Building staff to alert them that an unaccompanied minor child is headed their way. Instead, Sam hops on the next flight to NYC to search for Jonah by himself. Considering the many hours Jonah waits on the Empire observation deck alone, it is apparent that none of the above knew he was there.

raywest ★

Factual error: Jonah points to the LP record and tells Sam that "Paul is dead" can be heard when the record is played backwards. He is not holding a Beatles' record, however, as can be seen from the album's label. In the US, the Beatles recorded under Capitol Records, and their labels had a multicolored circular band printed on both sides. This label is red.

Trivia: Dyan Cannon, who is mentioned in the film and was married to Cary Grant (who is also mentioned), grew up in Seattle - West Seattle, specifically. The large house where many interior shots were filmed is in the West Seattle neighborhood on Sunset Drive. This house is less than two blocks down from where Dyan Cannon's father was living on Sunset Drive at that time.

Continuity mistake: When the Wheelers are at Shep and Millie's house, telling them about their move to Paris, Millie reaches over to the coffee table and takes a chip from the bowl. The shot changes to a different angle, and her empty hand is now resting on the sofa, then she reaches over and takes the chip again.

Question: How are Kirk, Sulu, and Olson able to parachute from space to Earth without burning up in the atmosphere?

Trivia: When Bella first arrives at Charlie's house, note the wolf picture on the wall in Bella's bedroom. This is meant to foreshadow the werewolves that appear in the next movie. (Confirmed by the director, Catherine Hardwicke, in the DVD commentary.)
