Other mistake: When Jill tries to leave Sweetwater in the morning after Cheyenne's visit, she runs into Harmonica. He has a very nasty, coarsely stitched injury in his cheek that is not accounted for, and for which there was no time to be received, stitched, and the stitches removed again. (Special Edition DVD has a deleted scene in which Harmonica is beaten up, which explains the injury, but it is a continuity mistake within the regular movie.) (01:12:25)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: At the end of the post station scene Cheyenne says to Harmonica: "Cheyenne's men don't get killed". The subtitles read "Cheyenne's, man, don't get killed", whatever that is supposed to mean. (00:42:30)

Other mistake: On one of the first days at the school James comes jogging on the beach. He starts throwing pebbles into the water, and then he notices Sarah who is sitting on a rocky spit. That the camera catches her only when it pans over is understandable, but he should have noticed her the moment he came to the beach. (00:25:45)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When James has his students over at his place they watch TV at full blast. You hear guns shooting and rubber burning. All of a sudden the noise stops and they leave, and Lydia says that the movie is over - which it surely wasn't the way the sound ended, and there is no indication that they just wanted to be nice and leave him in peace. (01:11:30)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Sarah smokes in James' office he tells her that he doesn't like it because of the fire hazard. Therefore, it doesn't fit in the picture that he doesn't react when she puts out her cigarette in the waste paper basket, certainly a serious fire hazard and worth checking even if James' comment had been a joke.

The Hunted (2003)

Other mistake: On the final hunt, both Bonham and Hallam sit down and produce knives in a very diligent manner, Bonham from a flintstone, and Hallam from a piece of scrap metal in a complete forging procedure. Given the time pressure both opponents are under, this display of stone- resp. iron-age skills (a.k.a. survival skills) is a bit absurd and almost touching. (01:13:50)

The Hunted (2003)

Other mistake: When Bonham climbs on the train we see in the back that the bridge has a ramp, which can be passed by cars but not by a train. (The fact that it's the wrong bridge has been mentioned already, but the ramp reveals this even to non-Portlanders.) (01:08:20)

The Hunted (2003)

Other mistake: When Bonham starts his search for Hallam in the forest we see him crawling along with his face and shirt nice and clean. From one shot to the next his face is covered with movie dirt, and his shirt looks as if he hadn't changed it in at least a year. Fresh dirt looks different. (00:27:25)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Other mistake: When T. jumps through the rear window of Nick's van he falls on the street but rolls the wrong way, against any laws of physics. (01:21:05)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Other mistake: When Nick comes back to the hotel room after his encounter with Danielle and the elevator stops, he sees the two robbers walking by (not even looking at the open elevator) and enter another elevator which has stopped a moment later. Since this is the top floor of the hotel (as can be seen later) the logic elevator control wouldn't have sent another cabin to this level as Nick's was already on the way up. (01:15:00)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Other mistake: In the scene where T. is balanced on the railing and you see Nick's reflection in the window his mouth is moving while only T. is talking. (00:15:35)

Nothing to Lose (1997)

Other mistake: Shortly after Nick takes off with T. he is heading for a truck from which a pallet with paper is being unloaded. The pallet blocks the whole space between the truck and the building, but when the camera angle changes to the other side, truck and pallet are shifted away from the building that there is enough room for Nick's van to zip through. (00:12:55)

Other mistake: When JM lands at the New Jersey turnpike he has an argument with Craig. When he walks away down the road a car drives by from behind. Someone in the car throws a can at him, shouting "Think fast, Malkovich.". This guy had no way of recognising him from behind. (01:08:55)

Maverick (1994)

Other mistake: When the carriage stops, Maverick, who was holding on tightly to the reins, is propelled over the edge of the canyon. It remains a mystery how the dead driver stays on his seat. (00:40:30)

Sabrina (1954)

Other mistake: In analogy to David's mishap with the champagne glasses old Mr. Larrabee crushes an olive jar when he sits down. However, in contrast to David he puts the jar into the front pocket of his pants, and olive jars don't break even if you sit on them (remember what he did to one when he tried to get the last olive out.). (01:46:55)

Sabrina (1954)

Other mistake: Sabrina attempts suicide by starting the engines of all eight cars in the Larrabees' garage. When Linus comes and rescues her he first turns the engines off, and when he is through with only half the noise dies already. (00:15:25)

Sabrina (1954)

Other mistake: On pursuit of one of his conquering strategies David comes into the tennis hall where his present belle Gretchen is waiting. He looks around and calls out for her, although the full moon is shining through the windows and she is standing in the middle of the court, quite visible in her white dress. (00:06:35)

Gangs of New York (2002)

Other mistake: When Mulraney tries to kill Amsterdam and Amsterdam grabs him from behind there is no way that he would just have put his arms around his neck and not neutralized the gun first. Luckily Mulraney was kind enough to shoot into the air and then drop the gun. (01:53:25)

Man on the Moon (1999)

Other mistake: Tony Clifton comes on the 'Taxi' stage accompanied by two prostitutes. He introduces one as Melonia, squeezes her breasts and asks 'how is our produce department?' The German subtitles read 'production department'. (00:44:25)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: Jack is sitting in his office doing some research on one Mr. Tarnower, one of the casualties of the hijacking. He finds a page referring to him in the Economist website. He zooms on a picture captioned 'F. Tarnower, Foreign Office Posting'. Then the caption gets blurry (only the caption, not the other text), then focused again and now it reads 'Tarnworth' instead of 'Tarnower'. I guess they used a real page of The Economist and goofed up the editing. (00:22:55)
