Trivia: When Gnl. Ross is in the cooling cell to get the super soldier stuff for Blonsky, on the lid of that specific container, it says, "Developed by: Dr. Reinstein." This is the alias of Dr. Erskine, who made Captain America.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
Other mistake: Justin Hammer picks up the M134 like it's a feather. In reality, it's a hundred pound gun, even a big bloke would have to work hard to pick something like that up.

The Island (2005)
Continuity mistake: When the police car stops on the middle of the four way junction, the first shot shows cars parked or waiting in all three lanes, but in the shot where they get broadsided, the armoured van is suddenly coming from the lane which previoulsy had a silver sportscar in it.

The Island (2005)
Deliberate mistake: The shot of Jordan and Lincoln asleep in the ruin is flipped. You can tell by Lincoln's initials on his ankle. (00:56:15)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Visible crew/equipment: In the shot of Optimus driving along with the Driller, part of a camera mount can be seen in the reflection of Optimus' chrome grille. It's definitely not something next to the road, since it's moving at the same speed. (00:18:25)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Continuity mistake: Just before the soldiers jump out of the Osprey, there is a shot of them running for the exit. You can see a very big gun on the soldier's chest. But in every shot of them wingsuiting through Chicago, none of the soldiers can be seen carrying any kind of weapons, let alone big LMG's and assault rifles which they use after landing.

Drive (2011)
Continuity mistake: When the 300C crashes, you can see what appears to be a camera on the shelf. But even if it isn't a camera, it wasn't there a minute ago.

The Avengers (2012)
Question: Thor asks Loki who showed him the true power of the Tesseract. Then, he gets interrupted by Iron Man. But when Captain America asks Thor about Loki's plan, he knows exactly who is coming and why. Did we miss something? Did Thor already know? Or is he just guessing with a hundred percent accuracy?

Titanic (1997)
Continuity mistake: Just after Rose leaves Cal, we get an underwater shot panning down on Jack, showing that the window he's standing next to is fully submerged. However, interior shots after that show air around the upper edge of it. It's not trapped air: it's constantly bouncing around, in a wave-like pattern. (01:53:10)

Titanic (1997)
Revealing mistake: In the scene after Jack and Rose try to save the child from the Italian guy, when the water bursts through the doors, they run away from it. But take a close look at Jack's neck: you can see the edge of a black wetsuit. And under his entire shirt, it's a little darker than it is a few moments later when they try to open the gate. (02:16:45)
9th Apr 2012
Titanic (1997)
Other mistake: After the "flying" scene, the story cuts back to real time. When it starts to transition back to the flashback, the camera zooms in on a television screen with the fireplace in it. This screen is 1) also used in the beginning of the movie 2) impossible, seeing how there was only one ROV in that room, and it shows the ROV in it. (00:06:15 - 01:20:10)
9th Apr 2012
Titanic (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Rose are running through the dining room, both of them are completely dry and running up. After Cal tells Lovejoy he'll give him the diamond if he gets it back, we cut back to Jack and Rose and both of them are soaking wet, most noticeably Jack. (02:13:15)
Plot hole: Tintin has a pretty sharp eye (as seen in his fight with Haddock, in the radio room, the Thompsons following them etc.), but he didn't notice that Sacharin's Unicorn was still fully intact? His own model was pretty badly damaged, with all sorts of wires hanging loose after its fall. (00:10:00 - 00:15:30)
29th Mar 2012
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Continuity mistake: When Optimus jumps in the factory, during the overhead shot, Megatron also starts a flip. But Optimus nearly hits the ground at the end of that shot, while Megatron is only half-way through. Yet in the following shot, they both land at the same time.

Drive (2011)
Revealing mistake: When Gosling overtakes the car via the shoulder, you can see dust in front of his Mustang being thrown up by the camera car.
18th Mar 2012
Titanic (1997)
Question: How far could the rudder panel on the Titanic actually turn? Could it turn 90 degrees, or 45, or something in the middle? I'm wondering, because this could have made a difference.
Chosen answer: The Titanic's rudder was capable of turning to about sixty degrees off the centreline, reaching that position in about six seconds from straight.
9th Feb 2012
Drive (2011)
Continuity mistake: In the chase scene, Gosling and the grey 300C approach a silver Ford Focus, which then steers out of the way. In the next shot, it has changed into a blue Toyota Corolla. (00:54:00)
9th Feb 2012
Drive (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Gosling crashes into Nino's cars a few times, the front end of his car is noticeably damaged. However, in the subsequent shots, the car is perfectly fine. Even the front headlights are implausibly intact and working despite just T-boning Nino's car.
14th Jan 2012
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Continuity mistake: *Spoilers* After Optimus rips Megatron's head and spine out, he drops it right next to Megatron's dead body. But when Sam and Carly are reunited, the head with the axe lodged in it are much further away from Megatron. (02:23:00 - 02:24:35)
14th Jan 2012
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Continuity mistake: When The Ark escapes Cybertron it is hit by a missile tearing off a massive chunk out of one of its wings. Yet when it crashes on the moon, both wings are fully intact.

Chosen answer: Odin knew about the army. It is why he used the dark powers to send Thor to earth (a very difficult task according to mythology). Thor was probably referring to Thanos, although we don't find out about his role until the end of the movie.
