Other mistake: When Clark looks at Oliver's newspaper clipping, there's a story about an AIDS hospice being saved. But the 2nd paragraph on talks about the 2nd meteor shower to hit Smallville that has nothing to do with the hospice being saved.

Smallville (2001)
Other mistake: When Clark is in the girl's room and a noise comes from the closet, Clark uses his X-Ray vision to see there's a person in there because he can see the skeleton and is surprised to see it's Lois when he opens the door. However, it's been shown before that Clark can use his X-Ray vision to see objects and people through solid objects. He should have been able to see that it was Lois rather than just a skeleton of an unknown person.

Other mistake: Throughout the series, they reuse the same footage for establishing shots of the Talon. For example, one of the shots has the Talon sign say "Silent Film Festival" with a guy holding and bouncing a basketball as they walk pass the Talon is in s02e05 and s03e11 and other episodes, including s03e10 where it's the same people but the guy is holding his jacket and further back.

Smallville (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Lionel and Lex are talking, after they sit down, near the end of the conversation, Lionel asks who Lex's source is. Lex is looking straight ahead. In the next shot, we see Lex turn his head to face his father. In the next shot, Lex is looking straight ahead again.

Question: How realistic is Lana's physical therapy scene? She says she broke her leg in 4 places and hasn't walked in a month. She's seen struggling to walk using the metal bars to support herself, which Adam seems to suggest she could do "another lap" but that she quit. But then after struggling to walk, she's given her crutches and the therapist leaves, leaving her to walk on her own with crutches. If she struggled with the bars, could she use crutches? Or would she be in a wheelchair?

Trivia: When Clark is on the computer, there's an article about a teen becoming the fastest man alive, normally a title for the Flash. The article names the teen Scott Higgs though, who isn't the Flash. The article says he ran the 100-m dash in 2.4 seconds, which is about 93 miles per hour. In the article it said the old record was 8.5 seconds. In real life, the record in 2001 was 9.79 seconds, so it seems the Smallville universe has several fast metahumans.

Other mistake: When Jimmy wakes up in 1940, on his desk calendar it's Saturday the 3rd. The newspaper says it's May 3rd, 1940, but that was a Friday.

Trivia: Justin Hartley, who plays Oliver Queen and joined the show in 2006, also starred in the unaired pilot of "Aquaman" (2006) as Arthur Curry. "Aquaman" was created by "Smallville" creators Gough and Millar. They didn't want "Aquaman" to be a spin-off "Smallville" so they didn't use Alan Ritchson, who had already played Arthur Curry in "Smallville." The show was scheduled to air on The WB, but when The WB and UPN were shut down, The CW was formed. The CW opted not to pick up the series.

Smallville (2001)
Other mistake: Jonathan Kent's headstone says he was born September 1, 1954. However, in "Relic", we learn Jor-El visited Smallville in 1961, where he met Jonathan's parents and his mom was pregnant with Jonathan. And we know it was him since Hiram (his dad) wanted to name their son Gene and Jessica corrects him and says his name is going to be Jonathan. Plus, if he was born in 1954, he would have been 25 when he won the high school state championship instead of a more realistic 18 if he was born in 1961.

Trivia: Additional references to the show "The Dukes of Hazzard"; Senator Jennings (Tom Wopat) drives a '68 Dodge Charger, similar to the '69 Charger in DoH. Jennings mentions Jonathan outrunning cops when he was younger by driving through Chickasaw County, a fictional county in DoH the Dukes often weren't allowed to enter because of their probation, and were sometimes chased by the sheriff. And Jack Jennings' name is a nod to Waylon Jennings, who wrote the DoH theme song and was the Balladeer.

Trivia: Chloe's mom in this episode is played by Linda Carter. Carter is known for playing Wonder Woman in the 1970's. Wonder Woman was one of the original members of the Justice League, but, like Batman, never appeared in "Smallville" and was only alluded to a handful of times.

Other mistake: The bowling scorecard for Chloe and Lana is wrong. It shows Chloe knocking down 1 pin (-|1) in the first frame but getting 3 points, then a spare in the 2nd frame but only getting 1 point. The math is wrong until the 7th frame where is ends up showing the correct score. Lana's score is correct, except on frame 9 it shows she knocked over 6 pins on her first ball and is on her 2nd ball, but when it cuts to her, all 10 pins are up. Plus an unfinished 9th frame shouldn't show a score.

Black Adam (2022)
Other mistake: When everything is moving in slow motion, to indicate how fast Black Adam is supposed to be moving, one of the mercenaries throws a grenade from a distance that is shown moving faster than the lightning moving through the bodies. It reaches Adam before the truck he just ripped apart starts to fall.
Suggested correction: The grenade isn't moving faster. Black Adam is moving towards it, he closes the distance. You see it only turns twice before he grabs it and gets to ground level, shove it in the guy's mouth, and then he's back in mid-air in the next shot.
Watch the scene again. Black Adam isn't even in the shot when the grenade is moving faster than everything else. The grenade is moving away from the guy that threw it. He's even moving as fast as the lightning.
