Jackie Brown (1997)

Trivia: Max Cherry tells Jackie about a procedure he had done on his hair. When Robert Forster (who plays Max) was first talking to Quentin Tarantino about the role, he told Tarantino that he had a procedure done to give himself more hair. They decided to write that in for the character of Max.

Unlawful Entry (1992)

Other mistake: Penny comes into Karen's room to check on her, and Karen is surprised to see her there. So Penny obviously let herself in somehow, but we see in the next scene that the alarm is on, and Penny does not know the code. If she does not know the code, there's no way she could have got into the house without Karen knowing. Even if Penny had a key to Karen's place, she would have set off the alarm.

Snatch (2000)

Trivia: When Mickey and Turkish are discussing the terms of the bet regarding the rabbit, one of the dogs lunges at Mickey, being played by Brad Pitt. Clearly, this was unscripted, but Brad Pitt stays in character and calls the dog an expletive in the character's accent.

Better Call Saul (2015)

Magic Man - S5-E1

Trivia: Robert Forster filmed his scene in this episode at the same time that he filmed his scene in El Camino. He is having a phone conversation with Bob Odenkirk, but Odenkirk shot his part later. Unfortunately, Forster passed months earlier (coincidentally on El Camino's release date) and sadly never got to see his work in neither this nor El Camino.

Breaking Bad (2008)

Granite State - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Uncle Jack and his crew are back at his compound watching the video of Jesse, we can see daylight coming in from the windows. Jesse mentions Todd's name, and Uncle Jack gets out of his chair to go and kill Jesse. When he walks outside to do so, it’s dark outside.

Trivia: When we see the Elvis impersonators in the middle of the movie, one of them is a small child. That is a very young Bruno Mars.

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Trivia: Filmmakers attention to detail: When Angel first arrives at his new place and calls the old lady a hag, if you rewind and look at the crossword puzzle, that is indeed the clue and answer for 12 down.

Frequency (2000)

Trivia: Towards the beginning, when Frank is teaching John how to ride a bike, John is wearing the badge and whistle that gets mentioned later in the movie.

Trivia: When Abbott is going through Axel Foley's file, the first page is a report on the Victor Maitland incident from the first movie. The photo is covering most of it, but if you pause it (which I believe is permissible for trivia entries), you can tell that the report is almost exactly how Bogomil recited it to the police chief in the first movie. It also has Bogomil's signature.

Trivia: When Axel first arrives in Beverly Hills, he gets arrested by two female officers, driving the very small police car. One of the officers is Eddie Murphy's real-life daughter.

Continuity mistake: When Axel shoots Zack at the mansion, he falls to the floor, dead. It cuts to Axel, and then back to Zack, whose position on the floor has changed a little bit. The white piece of wood that he fell on is gone too. Also, I can't be too sure about this, but it does look to be a different actor.

Trivia: Towards the beginning when they are in Jeffrey's office, you can see a picture of Inspector Todd on the wall, from the first three movies.

Other mistake: When Abbott is talking to Axel for the first time, he is flipping through a book that has files and pictures on Axel. One of them is a picture from when he got arrested after he got thrown out of the window. It is made to look like it was a picture taken of him at the time of his arrest, but it is a direct screen grab from Beverly Hills Cop.

Die Hard 2 (1990)

Trivia: Most major airlines wisely did not show this movie for their in-flight entertainment, due to the scenes of airplanes crashing.

Revealing mistake: When Dog and his gang are locked in the cage, the guy holding the Bren gun opens fire. He does this without warning, but look at Dog's face. He flinches a split second before the gun is fired.

Trivia: Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, is a character in the movie. When he is introduced, he introduces himself as "Fleming, Ian Fleming", which is a nod to how James Bond has introduced himself throughout the years.

Trivia: The scene when Ramona delivers the package to Scott and he signs for it, he takes the package and throws it over his shoulder into the trash can, some several feet behind him. In the outtakes reel, they show that no special effects were used. Michael Cera made the shot over his shoulder on his 33rd attempt.

Breaking Bad (2008)

Season 2 generally

Trivia: For most of season 2, Skyler is pregnant, but Anna Gunn (who plays Skyler) was not. The opposite is the case for the character of Marie: Betsy Brandt (who plays Marie) was pregnant during season 2, even though Marie was never pregnant during the show. In an episode early in season 2, we see Skyler rubbing lotion on her belly. That is Betsy Brandt's pregnant belly standing in for the close-up shots.
