Other mistake: If the meteor shower that hits NYC is the same one that destroyed the shuttle, how was so much time able to pass that all the newspapers were able to report on the shuttle before NYC got hit?

Armageddon (1998)
Suggested correction: Good question. Nobody says that it's the "same" shower though. All of them come from the bigger rock, and they are coming in intervals. So it could very well be some time had passed between showers. Also, the meteorites that hit the shuttle were much smaller and probably burned up in the atmosphere before bigger ones followed.

The Hangover (2009)
Other mistake: Isn't it supposed to be the weekend? Why is a classroom full of kids taking a tour of the police station on a Saturday?

The Thing (1982)
Other mistake: Blair somehow manages to fire seven shots with his six-shot pistol.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
Other mistake: There is a lot of bad continuity over how many vehicles there are. First there is Jeff's truck then Ginny shows up in her car. Later Paul says they only have two vehicles when they decide who is going to the bar. Later we see Vickie go to her own car when she's looking for her hair brush, so that's actually three vehicles. But there are at least 15 people at this camp. There would have to be more vehicles somewhere.

Independence Day (1996)
Other mistake: When David asks Major Mitchell if he can shoot the soda can, Major Mitchell has to ask a nearby sergeant for his sidearm, despite already having one on him when he shot the alien earlier.
Suggested correction: He probably shot his own gun empty or nearly empty, so he removed the magazine. They fired at least 10 shots at the alien, and he planted another 3 in it up close.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Other mistake: Watch the extras playing the Cairo civilians walking around just before the big swordsman reveals himself to Indy. Several of them are just aimlessly walking back and forth as if they have no idea where to go.
25th Apr 2021
Goldeneye (1995)
Other mistake: It's quite convenient for the plot that Natalya knew about both Goldeneye satellites but never seemed to know where Mischa was operated from otherwise she and Bond could have gone to Cuba without having to spike Boris' location.
16th Jan 2021
U.S. Marshals (1998)
Other mistake: When Royce tells Gerard he's going after Roberts after noticing him in the trees he takes his finger off the transmit button on his radio halfway into telling Gerard he's going after Roberts, but Gerard responds as if he heard everything Royce said.
23rd Dec 2020
Gremlins (1984)
Other mistake: Stripe manages to get the TVs and video camera working in the department store even though Kate hadn't turned the power on yet.
16th Dec 2020
You Only Live Twice (1967)
Other mistake: When Blofeld blows up the crater at the end we see a shot of lava coming out of the top of the crater, but then we see a shot of the inside of the crater with all the bodies and barrels there is no lava. So where is the lava at the top of the crater coming from?

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Other mistake: After Jack climbs up the ladder and through the floor he then runs right to the locked door, all this takes about ten seconds. Somehow in those few seconds Wang, Gracie, and the rest of the girls have all made it up the same ladder and coming around the corner when he gives him the signal to come to the door when there's no way they couldn't have all done it that quickly.
30th May 2020
Outbreak (1995)
Other mistake: The plot of this film can't seem to make up its mind whether or not the Cedar Creek virus is airborne or not. Several scenes show characters walking around in infected areas with and without protection in the same area. At one point Casey's suit breaks implying that he immediately contracts the virus within mere seconds without even having breathed it in yet we see other people walking around with either their face or eyes unprotected.
13th Mar 2020
The Last Stand (2013)
Other mistake: During the big shootout scene near the end Burrell is using a six-shooter and somehow seems to fire around 20 shots despite never reloading the gun.
6th Aug 2018
Sing (2016)
Other mistake: Considering how famous Nana Noodleman is it's odd that everyone is surprised that she's still alive.
11th Jan 2012
Die Hard (1988)
Other mistake: After Powell frantically radios in his distress call, other police cars converge on the street in front of Nakatomi Plaza, blocking off both sides of the street. But when McClane grapples down the building using the firehose, you can see traffic on the street below and none of them are police.
16th Jun 2011
Star Trek (1966)
Other mistake: On some VHS editions of this episode, the back cover features a picture of what appears to be both good and evil Kirk sitting at a table, however this never happens anywhere in the episode. That picture is actually from the episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"
