Audio problem: When the waitresses are performing their song, you can tell they are lip syncing to a recording even though they are supposed to be giving a live performance. The vocals have a noticeable amount of reverb and are mixed evenly with the instrumental track despite the fact they aren't even using microphones. (00:06:49 - 00:09:00)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Character mistake: When Sarah the waitress is filling up Cory and Shawn's coffee cups, she puts hardly any coffee in them, with Cory's barely being a couple of drips. A waitress that works on tips wouldn't be so lackadaisical about filling a customer's coffee cup. Cory and Shawn just sat down as well, so it's not like she was just topping them off. (00:02:58)

Continuity mistake: After Eric smears his hands all over Topanga's face, the amount of skin cream on her right cheek drastically decreases when she is telling Cory she's going to go wash her face. (00:14:35 - 00:15:00)

We'll Have A Good Time Then - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: The picture Rachel takes of Shawn, Jack and Chet is not consistent with the framed picture Jack receives. When Rachel takes the picture, Shawn's necklace is sticking out of his shirt collar slightly and positioned to the right and he has a lock of hair draped over his forehead on the left side of his face. In the framed picture, his necklace is protruding from his collar more prominently and positioned to the left, he has no lock of hair over his forehead, and his left hand can suddenly be seen on Chet's left shoulder. Additionally, the framed picture shows Chet with his head slightly tilted back and showing his teeth as he smiles, but when the picture was taken, his head was level and he only had a slight grin with no teeth showing.

Santa's Little Helpers - S6-E11
Continuity mistake: When Shawn and Angela are talking in the student union building, Shawn's scarf is draped around his neck in an asymmetrical fashion, with the left side shorter than the right. When they sit down on the couch, he pulls the two sides to a symmetrical length. Throughout the rest of the time Shawn remains seated on the couch, the two sides alternate between being symmetrical and asymmetrical. (00:15:20 - 00:16:47)

And in Case I Don't See Ya - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Feeny is looking over Cory and Shawn's papers, he rests Shawn's paper on the plate with his omelet. When the shot changes, he is holding the paper in his left hand and it is raised away from the plate. (00:18:35)

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Question: Is the Canyon of the Crescent Moon a real place, or was the shot of the canyon as seen from Donovan's binoculars just a place created for the film?
Chosen answer: The Canyon of the Crescent Moon is fictional, but based on the real entrance to the Treasury (Al Khazna). The Bab as-Sīq is the wide valley leading to the Sīq, the narrow gorge entry.

You're Married You're Dead - S6-E8
Continuity mistake: When Cory realises he left his engagement ring at the club, he raises his left hand to his shoulder level. When the shot changes to him saying "My ring," he is shown raising his left hand again. (00:11:56)

Everybody Loves Stuart - S6-E7
Audio problem: When Eric walks into Cory's hearing to the theme of "The People's Court," we find out the sound is coming from a tape player in his briefcase. When he opens up the briefcase and pulls out the tape player to stop it, the volume remains the same. The volume should have increased once he opened the briefcase. (00:14:30)

X-Men (1992)
Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. The revival - titled X-Men '97 - was announced on Disney+ Day in November of 2021 for a 2024 premiere date, with much of the surviving original cast returning.

X-Men (1992)
Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.
Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Question: How could Belloq know/believe that the Ark is a powerful artifact, but also be completely oblivious to the Bible specifically mentioning that some Bethshemites were smitten for gazing into it and Uzzah was smitten for touching it?
Answer: There were probably many reasons. Propelled by greed, he may simply have chosen to filter out certain aspects of the biblical text, believing what he wanted to believe. He may have misinterpreted or had not bothered with the details of what was written in the bible.
Add in that he was hired by the Nazis to do the job of finding and utilizing the Ark. He had to make sure it worked so he could present it to Hitler.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Question: After Darth Vader betrays the Empire and kills the Emperor, who, for the very brief period of time that the Empire was still around, would have risen to the top of the chain of command?
Chosen answer: The Empire splintered a bit after the death of the Emperor. Some members of the Imperial Council attempted to grab territories in order to maintain some form of power. Others attempted to carry on as if nothing had happened and told the people that the Emperor had escaped the destruction of the Death Star. Officially, the new leader of the Empire was Grand Admiral Sloane, who commanded the Imperial Navy. She enacted the Emperor's contingency plan, called Operation Cinder, which was essentially destroying everything because of the Emperor's death.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Question: What exactly are the spirits that emerge from the Ark? I get that they are malevolent ghosts, but what is the purpose of them first emerging from the Ark as beautiful women? Are they supposed to be the ghosts of women from Babylonia, or Jerusalem, or any other significant location from Biblical times?
Answer: They are angels. They are initially beautiful, but become terrifying when they destroy those who look at them. That's why Indy and Marion are spared, as they keep their eyes shut.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Eric and Jack place the red tablecloth on their counter, it barely drapes over the end of the counter that is facing the camera and completely covers the side that is on the viewer's left. A couple of shots later, the tablecloth is draped over the same end of the counter down to the floor, and the left side is now exposed. (00:05:06)

Better than Average Cory - S6-E5
Continuity mistake: When Rachel starts writing down that she is choking, she knocks a cup of water off the counter. After she spits out the hot dog she was choking on, the cup has reappeared on the counter. (00:06:38 - 00:07:00)

Better than Average Cory - S6-E5
Deliberate mistake: When Rachel is choking and writes down "I'm choking to death" on the paper on the counter so Jack will help her, you can see she is just scribbling the pen across the paper and not actually writing anything. (00:06:36)

Answer: It is the real actor and not a robotic dummy. He moves a bit slowly and deliberately, apparently for effect, but it's a real person.

Just to be clear, I'm not referring to when we see the knight raise his hand to wave goodbye to them, but rather right after Indy says "Please Dad," and he and Henry begin to flee the collapsing temple, you can see the knight in the background with his arm raised and he looks rather stiff. You can see it at around 2:22 of this clip: https://youtu.be/PAfZ7V2VyD8.

I took a closer look. There is the shot where the knight raises his hand and you can see him moving. It then cuts to Indy and Henry, then a cut back to the knight where it briefly looks like it could be a mannequin, then there is another cut and back to the knight again and this time it's definitely the live actor. So yes, for that brief long shot, I think it could be a dummy. This may have been for the purpose of efficiency in the filming, it being easier to use a stationary prop for doing multiple takes, rather than the live actor just standing there. Sometimes they do what is called "pick up" shots, where, post-production, a part of a scene or close-ups are re-shot or added weeks or months later, and it would just be easier to use mannequin rather than recall the actor.

But he does move, so most likely a real person.
