Red (2010)

Continuity mistake: Near the start when the assassins come after Frank, Frank injects one with the syringe that was intended for him. The half of the syringe that has no liquid has a noticeable plastic grey color. It then cuts to the close-up, and the half with no liquid now has no grey color. (00:07:55)

Red (2010)

Factual error: In the very first shot of the movie, a clock is shown ticking. The time on the clock reads 05:59:56. It is obviously AM because a few seconds later at 06:00:00, Frank wakes up as if it was morning. As Frank sits up, clear daylight is visible outside of the window. This scene is supposed to be set during winter. We know this because there are many Christmas decorations. Since this is meant to be winter, it should still be dark at that time of day. (00:00:40)

Suggested correction: At the beginning of the movie it's September or early October if latest in the year. At Cleveland's latitude there's enough sunlight at 6am to experience such lighting through a window facing south.

First, what in the film places the opening scene in Sept or Oct? There's too much snow on the ground for it to be either of those months (it doesn't snow in September and rarely in October, but only late October). Second, even if it was set in October, the sun doesn't rise until around 7:30AM or 8:00AM.

Bishop73

I disagree. I think what Bishop73 wrote above is correct. The opening scene at 6:00 AM showed daylight, which would be too early for October, November, and December in Ohio. The movie apparently begins in December based on the amount of Christmas decorations in the neighborhood. Sunrise might be between 7:30 - 8:00 AM and twilight is about 30 minutes prior to sunrise. It simply would not be that light out at 6:00 AM.

Continuity mistake: Episode 3, Citizen Brown: When Marty and George are checking over the surveillance tapes to see who attacked George, George says to Marty "I remember cleaning the playback heads at 5:30. The attack couldn't have been very long after", but in the next scene, on the same day, the clock on the courthouse tower reads 5:03, even though prior to this, George stated he was cleaning the surveillance tapes at 5:30 that same day.

The Boys in the Bar - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When Sam tells everyone it's closing time, he asks Harry how he got into the bar whilst he is playing snooker. He replies and then places a white snooker ball two inches behind a blue ball. There is also a yellow ball about three inches to the right of the blue ball. In the next shot, the yellow ball has suddenly moved a foot away from the blue ball. The yellow ball returns to its original position three inches away from the blue ball in the next shot.

The Black Island: Part 2 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: On the tower roof, the gorilla makes a roar that causes Tintin's hat to fall off the tower and into the sea (or rocks around the island). Tintin and Snowy run down a flight of stairs and the gorilla follows them. When the gorilla reaches the bottom of the stairs, he is wearing Tintin's hat. There wouldn't have been anywhere for him to get the hat since it would be in the sea or rocks by that time. (00:37:15 - 00:38:10)

The Black Island: Part 2 - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: The mechanic the detectives presume to be a pilot says "This is my first flight". Thomson and Thompson turn their heads to each other whilst the mechanic speaks. Note how they have a black color in their eyes, but when they finish turning their heads, the color in the eyes of the detective on the left disappears for three frames, which reappears as soon as they turn their heads to the ground.

The Black Island: Part 2 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the shot where the villains first exit the club's gates, the background on their number plate is yellow. After the holiday man says "Up in the trailer", the shot cuts back to the villain's car with a number plate that has a black background. (00:26:15 - 00:26:50)
