Corky Romano (2001)

Revealing mistake: When Corky (as Agent Pissant) is taking the perp in and starts to sing, the car makes a full 90° left turn (you can tell by the background), yet he never turns the wheel and both hands stay on the top of the wheel.

Corky Romano (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Corky is first in the car with his brothers, as Paulie is talking Corky's whole forearm and hand is resting on the seat. In the next shot, his arms are crossed so his forearm is now on top his other forearm. And throughout the car scene, his arms constantly change position.

Trivia: In the show, there's a running gag of Charlie being obsessed with the waitress and her constantly rejecting him. In real life Charlie (Charlie Day) and the waitress (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) are married. They married in 2006, although they were dating before the show started.

Once Upon a Time (2011)

The Bear and the Bow - S5-E6

Other mistake: When Belle and Gold run from Merida in Gold's shop, she shoots an arrow through the door. We see the end of the arrow (with the white feathers) sticking out of the other side of the door. When when Merida pushes the doors open, the end of the arrow is missing, even though the arrowhead end is still sticking out.

Total Recall (1990)

Continuity mistake: When Quaid uses the hologram, it's a mirror image of himself. However, before he enters the reactor room full of guards, we see him put the hologram device on his left wrist. His hologram (the one all the guards shoot at) has the device on his left wrist as well, instead of what would be the right.

Seinfeld (1990)

The Gymnast - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When George is at his girlfriend's mother's house, the plates on the table switch around. Then the order he stacks them changes. When he picks them up, the plate with the chicken is in the middle with a plate with a napkin on top, then in the kitchen, the plate with the chicken is on top.

Paul Blart: Security's been breached. Of course. Eduardo's in on it. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on...me. No, that's me twice. That doesn't work.

Maya Blart: Look, Dad, you're going to have to get use to the idea that I'm a big girl now.
Paul Blart: Ok, first of all, we're all big. We're Blarts. Wide hips, thick ankles, and a low center of gravity. That's how the good Lord made us. That's why we're no good at running hurdles. Never will be.

Corky Romano (2001)

Corky Romano: You know, I never thought I'd live to see the day that an FBI agent would be peddling smack.
Brick Davis: Don't act so surprised. J. Edgar Hoover use to wear a dress.
Corky: Just tell me why, Brick.
Brick: I don't know. I suppose it made him feel sexy.
Corky: Not Hoover, you.
Brick: I think it's time to get on with the meeting.
Corky: What meeting?
Brick: The meeting between your genitals and this knife.

The Smoking Jacket - S5-E6

Question: When Larry David goes to the Playboy mansion, everyone screams and runs away from him. Was there something I missed, like an inside joke or comment from an earlier show, to explain why? Or was something revealed later? Or is it just another case of strangers reacting oddly around Larry?

Jason O'Day: Ahhhh...so that's it. You're nothing but a conniving pair of undersized land pirates.

Bishop73

Store Clerk: Well, sir, a covered wagon pulling outta St. Joe didn't take near as much supplies as you got yourself here, Mr. O'Day.
Jason O'Day: You're sure one well-informed man, aren't ya? Now, did you think you can hand me that carton without straining yourself, or are you just tuckered out from sticking your nose in my affairs?

The Communication Deterioration - S8-E21

Penny: You are a wise man.
Sheldon: Well, Penny, who's smarter, the wise man or the person who comes to him for advice?
Penny: Oh, I guess you're right. Maybe it is the person who asks.
Sheldon: No. It's the wise man. That's why he's called the wise man. You know how I know that? I'm the wise man.

General questions

This is about a TV commercial and I can't figure out who the actor is. I feel like he's a comedian I've seen before, so he may not be in any films. It's a Brookside chocolates commercial. He's by a field, dressed in a blue shirt, next to a table with the chocolates. He's holding a phone reading online comments. Then someone brings a 100-pound bag and breaks the table.

Chosen answer: His name is Jon Dore. He has several stand up specials on TV.

Total Recall (1990)

Hauser: Howdy, stranger. This is Hauser. If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head. Now, whatever your name is, get ready for the big surprise. You are not you. You are me.
Quaid: No shit.

Total Recall (1990)

Lori: They erased your identity and implanted a new one. I was written in as your wife so I could watch you and make sure the erasure took. Sorry, Quaid, your whole life is just a dream.
Douglas Quaid: Okay then, if I'm not me, who the hell am I?
Lori: Beats me. I just work here.

Adam: This book reads like stereo instructions. Listen to this. Geographical and temporal perimeters. Functional perimeters vary from manifestation to manifestation.

Down Periscope (1996)

Pascal: Jesus, Buckman! This stuff has been on the Stingray since Korea! This can expired in 1966!
Buckman: What's the matter, sir? It still tastes like cream corn.
Pascal: Except it's deviled ham.
