Beetlejuice (1988)

Stupidity: Juno adamantly warns Adam and Barbara against getting help from Beetlejuice, but then proceeds to freely tell them exactly how to conjure him. She even snubs them when Adam asks how to get back in touch with her should they need her assistance again.

Suggested correction: I think she was giving them more of a warning against conjuring him accidentally by saying his name three times. Didn't she tell Adam that she wasn't available when he asked? That might explain the snub.

If she was warning them about accidentally saying his name three times, then it also would have been wise for her to tell them in that same moment that they could make him go away by saying his name three times again, but she didn't. She also said she wasn't available to help them in that moment, not at a later date like Adam was asking. By refusing to answer Adam's question, she made it more likely that they would turn to Beetlejuice for help.

Revealing mistake: When the charred man is offering Adam a cigarette, you can see the hole in the headrest of the chair where the actor is sticking his head through. (00:31:49)

Trivia: When Delores is reassembling herself, you can see she is missing the ring finger of her left hand. If you recall, Beetlejuice had this same finger adorned with a ring in his pocket when he attempted to marry Lydia in the first film.

X-Men '97 (2023)

Trivia: This film was originally announced as "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" with Destin Daniel Cretton attached to direct and Jonathan Majors playing the main antagonist Kang. After Majors was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Marvel severed ties with him and temporarily referred to the film as "Avengers 5." Cretton left to focus on the sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The Russo Brothers were announced as the new directors at San Diego Comic Con 2024.

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.

The Boys (2019)

Trivia: While being interviewed by his fiancée, Zoe Kravitz, Channing Tatum revealed that he wanted to keep the Gambit costume after filming wrapped, as he traditionally keeps an outfit from every film he makes, but was too scared to ask.

X-Men '97 (2023)

Trivia: Ryan Reynolds posted a deleted scene on his social media in late August 2024, showing that Gambit survived Alioth's attack. While walking around Cassandra Nova's lair and the bodies of her defeated minions, Gambit turned around to see a portal opening, presumably to take him to his own universe or to allow him to enter the Sacred Timeline. Some of this can be seen blurrily in the background of the TVA at the end of the movie.

Happy Gilmore (1996)

Trivia: Happy's signature golf swing has been used by real-life professional golfers, who attest that it can indeed provide extra driving distance, though at the cost of accuracy.
