Devil (2010)

Question: When Tony is trying to close the dead old woman's eyes, the security guard states the body has to be dead for a few hours in order for the eyes to close. Is this true?

Casual Person

Chosen answer: Yes. When the body dies, gasses begin escaping through any way they can, and can force the eyes to stay open. This is also true for a body that has been dead for several hours, once decay starts, the decaying causes gasses. But also when the body is freshly dead, the muscles and nerves are confused and keep firing for a long time, causing muscle spasms like feet and hands wiggling on the deceased, or even eyes popping open suddenly as if the person is awake. This is why the eye lids are sown shut on bodies at funerals and stuff, to prevent the eyes from popping open and freaking out the people viewing. And in older times, coins would be places over the eyes to hold them shut.

Gravity (2013)

Continuity mistake: Just after Matt retrieves Ryan, Matt tells her to set her watch timer for 90 minutes, which she then does. A shot is then shown of Ryan's arm adjusting the watch timer to 90 minutes and the time on the watch reads 00:32. Later on, when Ryan is in the Soyuz capsule, she looks at her watch and says "Seven minutes to get out of here." It is shown that the time on her watch reads 02:21 (1h 49m later) but the timer reads 7 minutes and 26 seconds left of the 90 minutes. (00:19:10 - 00:46:30)

Gravity (2013)

Audio problem: Ryan is on the International Space Station and looking through the window in an attempt to communicate with Matt. During this transmission, Ryan says "Please talk to me. Please." When she says "Please" the second time, her lips move before the word can be heard. Her lips are very visible through the reflection of the window. (00:42:15)

Gravity (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Ryan and Matt reach the ISS, as Ryan says "Wait, you have to brake!" the ISS is visible from the POV of Ryan. About two shots later, another shot of the ISS is from Ryan's POV, only now they are way further away from the ISS than they were two shots previously. The second shot may appear a bit confusing because it is at a different angle, but they are definitely much further in the second shot. (00:29:40)

Gravity (2013)

Factual error: Ryan states to Matt that her O2 pressure is low (which is the oxygen in her suit) just as they are about to reach the International Space Station and Matt points out she still has oxygen in her suit. Then as Ryan and Matt launch themselves onto the International Space Station, Ryan keeps panicking, hyperventilating and breathing heavily for the next few minutes and eventually she runs out of O2 as she starts to climb into the station. If Ryan only had CO2 in her suit and she had been heavily breathing for that long, she would definitely have run out of oxygen within a minute, she would never have gone this long without it. (00:28:30 - 00:32:50)

Gravity (2013)

Continuity mistake: Just as Ryan and Matt are about to bump into Shariff's body, the POV shot of Ryan shows Ryan shielding her face with her hands. It can be noticed her right hand is positioned in a shifted 10 o'clock direction. Instantly as soon as the next shot starts, her right hand is now in a 12 o'clock direction, not shifted at all.

Bug: Game Over: When battling God, several dead people charge after you and you have to jump onto each of the arrow keys that the dead people walk onto in order to electrocute them. Sometimes during this (mostly during round 3), if you jump onto the arrow key the dead person runs onto, the arrow key may not electrocute the dead person running onto it.

The Simpsons Game (2007)

Continuity mistake: Five Characters In Search Of An Author: When the Simpsons enter the gate to go to Matt Groening's mansion, the mansion is shown to be almost a few miles behind the gate. Later as the intro clip starts and Homer and Bart have reached the mansion, the key card gate is only a few yards in the background. Then as the level starts, there is now a gate to the mansion in the background and the gate that requires key cards is now way behind the gate to the mansion.

Continuity mistake: Five Characters In Search Of An Author: Whenever you approach the golden gate in the Game Engine game play, the four slots to place the key card in are the same colour. When the Simpsons and poorly rendered Simpsons approach the gate at the start of the level, the four key card slots all match each colour of the key card and not the gate itself.
