Continuity mistake: When Lex Luthor has his battle suit on and fighting Superman and Batman, the head and neck piece change dramatically and constantly. Sometimes the piece surrounds his head, leaving plenty of room and sometimes his head sticks out over the piece. And it's not a matter of angles, because in some shots, everything being the same, the side piece remains at ear level and his head is either above or below the head piece.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Factual error: After the Fort Sumter battle, Mary Todd sees the newspaper on Lincoln's desk which states "20,000 soldiers dead", and what appears to be an April 1861 date (which makes sense since that's when the Battle of Fort Sumter took place.) However, there were zero causalities at that battle. And the first major battle, First Battle of Bull Run in late 1861, didn't even see 1,000 causalities.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Abraham Lincoln picks up the pocket watch left in Willie's room, he opens it, but in the next shot it's closed.

Archer (2009)
Malory Archer: An erection?! The thought of me dead gives you an erection!?
Sterling Archer: No! Just half a one, the other half would have really missed you. I mean, not.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Factual error: At the start of the war, it says Fort Sumter 1861. However, on the battlefield we see the US flag with 35 stars. In April 1861, there were only 33 states.

Portlandia (2011)
Trivia: When the feminist group are hiking, the man who stops Toni and Candace and says "you're heading into beaver territory" is Danny Bruno. Bruno plays a beaver-like creature on the show Grimm. Later the tour guide says the forest the Beavers live in is called "Grimwood."

Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Zeebo and Wiploc crash through the fence and are now facing the wrong way on the freeway, we see 3 cars pass before they go into reverse. In the next shot, we see the rear-view mirror and it's 3 completely different cars. (00:19:00)

Bridesmaids (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Annie is sitting on the couch at her blind date's house, talking to his kid, her pearl-like necklace usually lays under her coat, but in some shots, they're over the coat or completely hidden.

Secret Window (2004)
Question: At the end of the credits, we hear Johnny Depp sing "mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread." Is there any reason for this, or a tie-in to the movie I missed?
Chosen answer: An additional reference to the full dominant personality takeover of Shooter, everything gravitates South Mississippi.

Welcome to Mooseport (2004)
Trivia: Monroe Cole states that people will be calling him Mr. President for the rest of his life. While it is true people do tend to call former presidents by that title (thus not a movie mistake), as a point of trivia; is it incorrect to address a former president as "Mr. President" or "former president (surname)." While Cole doesn't have to worry about his ex-wife taking his title, leaving office will do that. It's the media that perpetuates this presidential title error.

Welcome to Mooseport (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Handy is giving his proposal speech to Sally, the dirt on his cheeks change throughout without him touching it; from a line down his cheek that's not touching his ear, to a wide amount that's touching his ear.

Raising Cain (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Carter goes into his daughter's room after he sees his wife on the monitor, the lights are off. In the first shot of the light switch, it's down, in the off position. In the next shot, it's in the up position, with the lights still off. In the third shot, it's back down.

Raising Cain (1992)
Other mistake: When Carter/Cain is putting the body in the Taurus (Jack's car), we see a clear shot of the licence plate '2ABI111', then we see the same plate on the Volvo he pushes into the lake. And it's not as if he switched plates because later, the same plate is still on the Taurus.

The Waterboy (1998)
Other mistake: When Bobby recovers the onside kick, he recovered it on the 43-yard line, which is where the ball is spotted (the scoreboard even shows this). However, there was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with the late tackle (and a flag was thrown so we know the ref didn't miss the penalty) so the ball should have been spotted on the 28-yard line. (And there's no question there were no off-setting penalties).

Apollo 13 (1995)
Trivia: Jack Swigert actually said "Houston, we've had a problem." It was changed in the film to "we have a problem" so the audience would know it was an ongoing problem and the crew were still in danger, also for Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) to deliver the line.

Night Court (1984)
Revealing mistake: When Judge Stone is flipping down the hall out of excitement, you can tell it's his stunt double as his face appears on camera after the cartwheel. It appears his bow tie is missing too.
