Goldfinger (1964)

Suggested correction: The Rolls wouldn't be 100% gold; much of the bodywork could be, but there would be steel areas to maintain the integrity of the vehicle for driving, and the boot lid where he attaches the device could be made of steel. I suspect a car made entirely from gold, which is a soft metal, would be undriveable as it would likely not stand up to the rigours of road travelling.

Also, gold has a density nearly three times more than steel, so a gold car wouldn't be able to move or be transported by air.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Bodyswap - S3-E4

Plot hole: When Holly discusses what the crew can do as a result of activating the self-destruct, she comes up with three options which all end with "And get blown up." Since it turns out that Holly disconnected the bomb "ages ago," wouldn't she have known that they wouldn't be blown up?

Suggested correction: It's been a while since I've seen the show, but Holly is more than a little eccentric and silly, and if memory serves, it's implied he/she has gone a bit "senile"/glitchy due to sitting around mostly unused for three million years while Lister was in stasis. From the sound of it, it's likely just that Holly was being a bit thick and forgot in the moment about disarming the bomb.

Also, Holly mentioned she (it's one of the episodes that the original Holly redesigned himself to look like Hilly) didn't tell them because 'they never asked', which shows glitches, as something as important as that would normally be pointed out without asking, as it's very important to mention it.

The Dukes of Hazzard (1979)

Season 5 generally

Factual error: Throughout this entire season, Bo and Luke left Hazzard to become Nascar drivers. This wouldn't be allowed as part of their probation legally prevents them from leaving Hazzard County.

Suggested correction: First off, in s01e01, the show starts where it had already been a year since Bo and Luke were put on probation. However, they were only given 5 years probation and this takes place in season 5. However, in the show they were allowed to leave Hazzard County with permission from a parole officer, so even assuming they're still on probation, they could have had permission without showing it on screen.

Except that Boss Hogg was their parole officer and considering how corrupt he is, he could have chosen to extend their parole.

It would be possible that the Duke boys got the probation lifted by a higher authority (e.g. the State governor), or just ignored Boss Hogg altogether.

Bottom (1991)

Terror - S3-E2

Character mistake: Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog all appear worried at the fact that the devil takes "virgin's blood." However, it is apparent later in the episode that the 'devil' is in fact Dave Hedgehog's daughter, meaning he isn't a virgin.

Suggested correction: Also, Eddie previously slept with the Third Viscountess of Moldavia when Richie's back alley kidney donation backfired and he collapsed, so he wasn't a virgin either, but reacted as though he was.

Although theoretically correct, bear in mind that neither Eddie or Dave Hedgehog aren't particularly bright, and likely forgot they weren't virgins.

Hedgehog's daughter could have been adopted.
