Student Bodies (1981)

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, in order to achieve an "R" rating today, a motion picture must contain full frontal nudity, graphic violence, or an explicit reference to the sex act. Since this film has none of those, and since research has proven that R-rated films are by far the most popular with the movie-going public, the producers of this motion picture have asked me to take this opportunity to say "Fuck you."
[The MPAA R-rating logo appears on the screen.].

Thursday (1998)

Continuity mistake: At one point in the film, Casey's penis is out of his trousers and his trousers unzipped as Dallas rapes him when he is tied to a chair. Billy Hill then shoots Dallas and kills her. He then pulls Casey's polo shirt down over his exposed penis - but he does not put Casey's penis back in his trousers or zip up his trousers. When Casey finally unties himself from the chair and stands up, his trousers have magically been zipped up.

Continuity mistake: When Nick and Casey go into Ballpean's flat, nick is frisked by the bodyguard, who finds no weapon on him. Casey refuses to be searched. When a fight breaks out, Casey pulls out two pistols, so we understand how he smuggled them in, by refusing to be frisked. However, Nick pulls a machine gun out from under his jacket. There was no way he could have smuggled this in without the bodyguard catching him when he frisked him. It's a big gun too, which would have made it even more obvious if he tried to smuggle it in.

Mindhunters (2004)

Question: What was the deal with all the agents' jackets having letters written on the back in luminous paint? Why did the killer do this?

swordfish

Chosen answer: Vince explains this. The letters spell out CROATOAN. There was an English colony on Roanoake Island, of which the entire population mysteriously disappeared, giving no trace of what had happened, barring the letters CROATOAN carved on to a tree.

From Dusk Till Dawn mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The scene where the vampires in the Titty Twister bar start devouring the customers. George Clooney confronts Salma Hayek. She taunts him and he shoots her. When he does this the jacket falls open to show he is wearing a white shirt underneath. However, when she comes back to life a couple of seconds later and punches him to the ground, his jacket falls open again - only this time it is a completely black shirt underneath.

Jawbreaker (1999)

Plot hole: The whole point of the deception is that Fern Mayo, the geek, turns overnight into Vylett. No one at school has a clue about her real identity till Marcia and Courtney put up posters. So this deception carries on for several weeks before the two girls expose it. There is no way this would work. A school will not simply accept a new student without bothering to register her, yet when Fern Mayo just doesn't turn up to school one day, and Vylett does indeed, none of the teachers find this strange, or bother enrolling "Vylett" officially in school.
