Common mistakes

Other mistake: Characters that are standing outside in freezing cold weather, but their breath won't be visible. This is more common in TV shows, where the outdoor setting is just a set in the studio.

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When Xavier is telling Moira about how he and Lilandra were attacked, Moira dismisses his claim, reasoning that he came to her for help because he could no longer trust his own mind, and that no-one else had been in his room. She witnessed him flying out of a window, and he's a paraplegic. Unless she thinks he somehow catapulted himself out the window, she shouldn't have been so dismissive of his claim. Not to mention the damage to the room, including the bed being thrown against the TV. (00:05:21)

Red Dead Redemption 2

Other mistake: One of the things that drives the game's main story is that the gang needs to acquire enough money through various heists in order to escape from the U.S. government and live in Tahiti. However, when exploring and doing side missions, Arthur can acquire tens of thousands of dollars by himself, which could easily pay for everyone to flee without having to rob banks or trains.

Out of the Past (1) - S3-E1

Other mistake: When Wolverine first enters the subway, there are two tracks, and there is a train moving away from the camera on the track closest to the platform. When Gambit and Jubilee enter the same area moments later, there is now a train on the same set of tracks, but moving towards the camera. (00:07:38 - 00:08:07)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Xavier asks Magneto how much further they have to reach the top of the cliff, Magneto tells him he would rather not know, suggesting they still have a long way to go. However, in the wideshot of the sky-riders flying in to attack the two, you can see Magneto is about three times the length of his own body from the top, and according to the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series," Magneto is 6 feet tall. This means he is only about 20 feet, give or take, from the top, which isn't all that far in terms of climbing a cliff. (00:02:44)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Magneto is asking how the Savage Land mutates were able to infiltrate his citadel, Amphibious tells him it's because Mr. Sinister long ago found his secret passage. The room they are in leads to a balcony, and has no door sealing off the balcony. In a world of superpowered beings, some of whom can fly, it wouldn't take much effort to get into a building that isn't closed off. Finding a secret passage from the ground level would be unnecessary. (00:15:00)

X-Men mistake picture

Mojovision - S2-E11

Other mistake: When Jean is trying to dodge Spiral's teleporting blast, she ends up tripping on a power cord running across the floor. An electronics store wouldn't have a power cord running across its floor for this very reason. They would be begging for a lawsuit if they did. Her foot is also closer to the wall in the first shot than in the second shot. (00:07:30)
