Trivia: When Waldo and Loco (Betty Grable) are at the lodge, Loco says the music playing on the radio is Harry James. Waldo asks how she knows that, and she says she just knows that it's him. This is a movie in-joke because at that time, Grable was married to Harry James, the famous bandleader, in real life.

Music Box (1989)
Plot hole: After Ann retrieves Tibor Zoldan's music box from the pawn shop, she finds the incriminating photos of her Nazi father, Michael Laszlo, hidden in it. Even though Zoldan (who had died) could have redeemed the music box from the pawn shop within a certain time period, it makes no sense that he would have pawned it with the photos left inside. The photos were how Zoldan was able to blackmail Laszlo. It's highly unlikely he would have forgotten they were in there.

Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)
Trivia: In France, when Mr. Carson and Lady Maude are in the hat shop, the clerk mistakenly refers to them as being married, which surprises and embarrasses both. This is a movie in-joke regarding actors Jim Carter (Mr. Carson) and Imelda Staunton (Lady Maude), who are married in real-life.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
It's Comedy or Cabbage - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Midge descends the hotel's grand staircase, the piano player and guests are below. Once down the stairs, Midge finds Abe and Rose sitting in chairs with their luggage, just to the right of the piano, in front of a large pillar, with a round sofa behind. However, when Midge was walking down the stairs, the lobby looks different. The piano is in the same position relative to the stairs, but her parents and the chairs are missing and the round sofa is a different style and the shape of the carpeting in front of the pillar is also different.

Seabiscuit (2003)
Plot hole: Immediately after Seabiscuit injures his leg, the track vet tells owner Charles Howard that the horse will never race again. He offers to euthanize Seabiscuit, even though it was not a life-threatening injury. Even if Seabiscuit was unable to race again, a champion racehorse has more value as a stud horse. It is nearly inconceivable that a random vet would suggest this so early on. If anything, it would be "wait and see."

Continuity mistake: When Melanie is showing the nosey reporter around the Carmichael mansion, she peers through the kitchen door's porthole window and sees the top of the maid's head on the other side. She quickly steers the reporter in a different direction. The scene cuts to a shot of the maid inside the kitchen, only now she's much shorter and her head is about six inches below the window.

Halloween - The Final Chapter - S8-E5
