The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
Question: What happened to Radagast? One minute he's running away from the Orcs, but then the Orc is standing on a stone and then Radagast disappears for the rest of the movie.
Chosen answer: We are never told, but given his confidence in his rabbits and the fact that he is a wizard of equal power to Gandalf (even if he has gone a bit odd), we can presume he escapes. Radagast doesn't appear in the book, his presence was pretty much invented for the movie, however he does appear very briefly in the first book of the Lord of the Rings (though not in the movie), so as far as the overall story goes, he must survive.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
Question: The Hobbit trilogy takes place 60 years before Lord Of The Rings, and it is shown that Bilbo takes the Ring from Gollum and escapes the Misty Mountains with it. What exactly has Gollum been doing for the past 60 years?
Chosen answer: It took Gollum a few years to summon up the courage to leave his cave to try to find Bilbo, but, unsurprisingly, he found that the trail had gone cold. Wandering in the hope of picking up the scent, he ended up on the edge of Mordor, where he encountered Shelob and became her servant, spying on her behalf, luring food into her lair and so forth. Eventually, captured by Sauron's forces, he gave up the names of Baggins and the Shire under torture, alerting Sauron to the existence and potential significance of Hobbits. He was freed, only to be captured again, this time by Gandalf and Aragorn who wanted to question him about the Ring before placing him in elven custody in Mirkwood. Escaping from there, Gollum hid out in Moria where he first picked up the trail of the Fellowship.

Continuity mistake: When Selina has Daggett pressed up against a wall, she is shown wearing heels, but later on in the same scene, whilst she and Bruce fighting Bane's mercenaries on the roof, she is wearing flats. (00:52:00 - 00:53:25)

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Visible crew/equipment: Whilst the police are shown standing on the street, ready to fight Bane's mercenaries, just after Foley walks to the front of the crowd, it cuts to a shot of the mercenaries arriving on the street. In this shot, towards the left of frame, a man can be seen walking up a flight of stairs, carrying a radio. This man is not part of Bane's army and has no other reason to be present in the scene, so he is most likely a crew member that unintentionally walked into the shot. (02:11:00)

Chosen answer: Les Bubb worked on the Harry Potter films as a voice actor for minor characters. There's no exact indication who he played, but it's likely he was the voice of various portraits, background characters, and other characters who were either unseen or represented by special effects.
