Dark Phoenix (2019)

Other mistake: During the standoff between the aliens and the mutants on the train, Jones tells the mutants to stand down, to which Beast defiantly replies with "No." When he says this, you can hear Nicholas Hoult's English accent slip through.

X-Men '97 (2023)

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Other mistake: SPOILER: Gambit's funeral is taking place in his hometown of New Orleans, as evidenced by the coffins being above ground (because New Orleans is at or below sea level). However, Gambit's coffin is oddly lowered into the ground.

Expend4bles (2023)

Other mistake: After the first guard at the chemical plant is sniped, the second guard goes to check on him and is surprised by the sudden appearance of an attacking helicopter. Helicopters are extremely loud, and flying as low as it was depicted would also vibrate the ground and the building. There's no way it would have been able to sneak up on the guard like that.

X-Men: Evolution (2000)

Grim Reminder - S1-E11

Other mistake: The trees that the brainwashed Wolverine slices down, while chasing after Kitty, fall to the ground too slowly. They should fall quickly as a large, heavy object would, but instead float down like a feather.

X-Men: Evolution (2000)

Shadowed Past - S1-E10

Other mistake: The guitar next to Rogue's bed has position markers on all of the odd-numbered frets, beginning with the first. Position markers on guitars start on the 3rd fret, and sequentially follow on the 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 19th, and 21st frets (and 24th where applicable).

Iron Man (1994)

Show generally

Other mistake: Despite being in the same continuity as the 1992 X-Men animated series, this show depicts Bill Clinton as President of the United States, while in X-Men, the President is Robert Kelly.

What a Drag - S7-E16

Other mistake: When Tim and Jill are staking out in Wilson's backyard to see which of their sons hid the marijuana, Jill mentions that it's only 10° outside. However, their breath is never visible throughout the scene.

Ghostwriter (1992)

Who Burned Mr. Brinker's Store?: Part 1 - S1-E6

Other mistake: The arson investigators name Jamal as the main suspect in setting fire to the store, because the security camera caught him sliding something through the front door mail-slot. Any arson expert would immediately know that it wasn't Jamal that started the fire, as the fire's point of origin was in the back of store, and was also entirely contained there, and Jamal was not only nowhere near the back of the store, but was also outside.

X-Men (1992)

Dark Phoenix (1): Dazzled - S3-E11

Other mistake: When Wyngarde is facing the wall after White Queen breaks his mental contact with Jean, he is casting a shadow against the wall. However, as the White Queen approaches him, she has no shadow of her own. (00:15:17)

X-Men (1992)

Dark Phoenix (1): Dazzled - S3-E11

Other mistake: The episode begins with an out-of-place one-second shot of a door opening on a space craft revealing a satellite hovering over Earth before quickly cutting to an establishing shot of Muir Island. Note: this may only apply to the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:01:00)

Proud Dick - S2-E13

Other mistake: When Dick and Sally are playing with the cat toy in the kitchen, they make a lot of joyous noise while doing so. When the shot changes, we see Mary coming up the stairs to a completely silent home, and she can't seem to locate anyone until Harry pulls her into the closet. The kitchen is only a few feet away from the stairway, so not only should Dick and Sally's voices have still been very audible, but at the very least, Sally should have been in Mary's direct line of sight. (00:15:53 - 00:16:20)

See Dick Continue to Run (2) - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Dennis Rodman sees Harry, Tommy, and Sally at the hardware store, he addresses all three by name and asks what they are doing on Earth. If he didn't previously know they were on Earth, then he couldn't have known they were going by those names, as they chose those names after arriving at Earth. Harry even mentioned in a later episode that the names Tommy, Dick, and Harry were chosen by chance when they saw the phrase "Every Tom, Dick, and Harry" written down.

X-Men (1992)

Obsession - S3-E10

Other mistake: When Archangel fires a barrage of razors at Apocalypse, Apocalypse forms his hands into shields and deflects them, but in the same shot, a second barrage of razors magically appear out of the shields and are fired back at Archangel. (00:16:55)

X-Men (1992)

Obsession - S3-E10

Other mistake: When the ship is counting down from 5 to 1 to signal when the bomb will detonate, it actually takes 5.5 - 6 seconds for the 5 seconds to elapse. Given that it's an advanced computer doing the countdown, it should be more accurate. (00:12:25)

Saw (2004)

Other mistake: When Adam is saying to Dr. Gordon "What I saw was you get into your car, that's it," Leigh Whannell's natural Australian accent slips through on the last two words. (01:18:09)
