Waterworld (1995)

Revealing mistake: When escaping the Smokers for the third time, the Mariner picks up Enola and swings to the other side of the boat with a rope. But you can see a second rope going down behind Costner's back. At the ''handle'', it's tied up with the one Costner is actually holding on to. (01:18:25)

Continuity mistake: Alice stabs Wesker in the head with the handle of the scalpel tilting over to Wesker's left side. In every shot afterwards, it's facing to Wesker's right.

Friso94

Other mistake: During the fight with the Axeman, we get a few shots of him breaking the shower columns. In the overhead shot of Claire, the columns in front of her and way out of reach of the Axeman are already broken, before the flip. (01:03:00)

Resident Evil: Afterlife mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the flashback when Claire remembers what really happened on the beach where they landed the chopper, the Umbrella guard slams the spider-shaped device on her chest. In the next two shots, the device is gone, but when Alice finds her 18 months later, it's back on. (01:10:50)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Continuity mistake: Violet deflects the incendiary gel with her sword, covering the tip of it with the gel. For the rest of the fight, the gel is gone, but when Daxus closes the blinds, it reappears, only now covering the entire sword. (01:23:35)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Continuity mistake: Daxus drops his gel gun, only to change it for a sword. But in the overhead shot of Violet and Daxus, the gel gun is nowhere to be seen. (01:23:50)

Resident Evil: Afterlife mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Luther shoots the Axeman in the head, just above where his left eye should be. When the Axeman reaches the shower, the hole in the burlap sack and the blood are gone. (00:54:40 - 01:05:00)

I, Robot (2004)

Question: Lannings wrote the three laws and built VIKI as his first robot, which leads to the conclusion that VIKI has been programmed with the three laws. If VIKI is programmed with those laws, how can she order robots to ignore humans orders and even kills them?

Friso94

Chosen answer: Viki is following what has been called the 0th law of robotics. It is an extrapolation of the other three with an application toward humanity as a whole rather than individual humans and is interpreted as "A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm". The idea being that she has now concluded that to fail to take action to prevent the self destruction of humanity itself would be a violation of that law. And being the 0th law, it supersedes all other laws, just as law 1 supersedes law 2 and law 2 supersedes law 3. Her actions may be regrettable or undesirable, but according to the 0th law, they are necessary to save humanity as a whole.

Garlonuss

Question: The Axeman doesn't die when Luther shoots three rounds into his head. But how come when Alice blows his head off, he does die?

Friso94

Chosen answer: The damage caused by Alice was more extensive and therefore sufficient to put the creature down.

Phixius

Question: How did the Transformers stay hidden during the days when there weren't any mechanical devices? Jetfire explains that he's been here for millenia, and there are probably more like him all over the world. For that matter, why didn't the Egyptians or the Chinese or the Greeks ever make a note about the Transformers, while their markings are all over the structures?

Friso94

Chosen answer: A lot of historians, or pseudo-historians some would say, believe the Ancient Egyptians did in fact have technology that surpasses even our own today. And that this technology was handed down to them from extra-terrestrials they worshiped as gods. This seems to fit the context of the movie, where the Transformers would be those extra-terrestrials.

Phixius

Question: Sam says that the Energon source is before the Autobots. So to find it they need to talk to a Decepticon. Wheelie is the first one at hand, but how does he know about the source, let alone the Seekers, what they look like and where they are? He doesn't look like he is as old as Jetfire, and as he puts it, "Nobody tell me nothin".

Friso94

Chosen answer: He knows from stories passed down to him from older generations of bots, not much unlike stories about the past passed down to us from our ancestors. His line about no one telling him anything is just a way to avoid being put back in the box or being tortured by Mikayla.

Resident Evil: Afterlife mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the initial fight scene, one of the Alice clones takes cover behind a pillar, which is fully intact. When the shot cuts to show her and the other clone, there are three bullet holes that have mysteriously appeared in the pillar. (00:11:10)

Friso94

Continuity mistake: In the overhead shot with the falling glass, Alice's second shotgun is apparently lying under the table, because we can't see it. When Bennett attempts to pick it up, it has moved itself a good foot and a half away from the table. (01:24:00)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Violet disassembles the AR-15, the buttstock is still in place. For the rest of the scene, the stock keeps reappearing and disappearing. (00:17:15)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Continuity mistake: After Violet's hologram says: ''You won't have him.'', Daxus tries to punch her, but he only strikes air and thus keeps moving, and nearly trips. He then gets back up, and in the next shot he gets up again. (01:06:50)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Violet holds her hand up to catch the sword, it's fine. But after she stabs the guard, both her hands are cut open in three directions. Also, she doesn't leave any blood on the sword itself.

Friso94

Revealing mistake: When SnakeEyes is hanging from underneath the Hummer, the same shot of him turning his head is used twice: the first time just before Scarlett blows the head off of the guy who the Baroness orders to kill SnakeEyes, and the second time just before the train hits the Hummer. (00:58:10 - 01:00:20)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Violet jumps off of the building, she makes severe cracks in the concrete tiles. In the overhead shot with the dead guards, those cracks are gone. (00:20:25)
