Other mistake: When Luke is reunited with R2D2 aboard the Millennium Falcon, R2 plays the original hologram of Princess Leia from A New Hope. It is being displayed on the floor, to Luke's right. He tells R2-D2 that was a cheap move, and R2-D2 turns his head to look at Luke. Problem is, the device that he is using to project the image is on the part of his head that turns. We see the beam of light move when R2 moves his head, but when Luke turns his attention back to the hologram, it is still in the same place.

Revealing mistake: When Jason Segal (Marshall) gets blasted in the face with confetti, you can see him squint his eyes in preparation for it.

Jackie Brown (1997)
Factual error: When Max returns to get his gun from Jackie, she invites him in for a cup of coffee. She puts on a Delfonics record, which starts with the song "Didn't I Blow Your Mind." It then goes to the song "La La Means I Love You." She doesn't touch the record once it starts playing. There was not a Delfonics record pressed that has those two songs together in that order.

The Morning Show (2019)
No One's Gonna Harm You, Not While I'm Around - S1-E5
Other mistake: When Mitch is getting escorted out of the building, he gets in an elevator. Just as the elevator doors begin to close, Bradley Jackson jumps in the elevator to have a conversation with Mitch. As she does, the elevator doors continue to close, even though she has jumped right in front of them while they are closing. Elevator doors have a safety sensor, and the safety sensor would have been triggered by Bradley jumping in the elevator as the doors are closing, and the doors would have reopened.

Suspect (1987)
Audio problem: Toward the beginning of the movie, Kathleen is in her home going through files. She comes across something (likely the fact that Carl is deaf), and says to herself out loud, "Can't they read?" But her lips do not match what is said.
9th Jul 2021
The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie after sergeant has been shot, they are rushing him to the hospital. Watch the headrest of the passenger seat. It is in place, and then when he is getting in the car, the headrest is gone. Then, it is back in place again.

Cobra Kai (2018)

30 Rock (2006)
The Beginning of the End - S7-E1
Trivia: Jack mentions that Jonathan was able to come back to 30 Rock because "the grass was not greener on the other side." This was a subtle shot at the show Weeds. The actor playing Jonathan (Maulik Pancholy) was on that show, which was about selling marijuana (grass). When Weeds was canceled, Pancholy came back to resume his role on 30 Rock.

30 Rock (2006)
Trivia: Jack's "girlfriend" of sorts introduces Jack (Alec Baldwin) to her other boyfriend, named Ryan. When she is making their introduction to each other, she says "Jack, Ryan." Alec Baldwin played Jack Ryan in The Hunt For Red October.

A Time to Kill (1996)
Trivia: In one of the courtroom scenes, the judge refers to Sandra Bullock as "Lois Lane." Around the same time this film was being made, Bullock was heavily considered to play the role of Lois Lane in Tim Burton's Superman Lives, but the movie was canceled just weeks before shooting.
26th Nov 2020
The Majestic (2001)
Other mistake: At the welcome home party, Peter/Luke is at the piano with the female piano teacher. She is helping him remember how to play a song. Problem is, she is playing the keys right in front of her, and he is playing the keys right in front of him (you can tell by their hand placement and where their eyes are looking), but they are both playing in the same octave. His notes should have sounded at least an octave higher. Furthermore, when he starts playing the jazzy sounding tune, the keys we hear are very low and would have been to the left of the teacher. He would have had to reach across her to reach those keys, but instead he is playing the keys right in front of him.

Breaking Bad (2008)
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Skinny gives Jesse the address on where he can find the junkies who robbed them. When we see the piece of paper, the street name is Pampas. When Jesse gets out of the car, we see the real street signs, and that the house is on 13th and Marquette.
22nd Jun 2020
Breaking Bad (2008)
Trivia: When Robert Forster (Ed, or "The Disappearer") stops by the cabin to drop off supplies to Walt, he tells Walt that his (Walt's) house has since become somewhat of a tourist attraction, and a fence has been built around it. Funny thing is, in real life that is exactly what has happened to that house since Breaking Bad. Tourists come to that house and take photos, and the owners have had to put up a fence to keep people off their property. Before the fence was put up, some people went so far as to throw a pizza on the roof, like Walt did in a previous episode.
8th Jun 2020
Boomerang (1992)
Trivia: When they are in the board meeting going over the perfume names, Grace Jones whacks Eddie Murphy in the face with a pad of paper. According to the commentary, this was not scripted. Grace Jones ad-libbed the bit, really hitting Eddie, and his reaction is genuine.
12th Mar 2020
Heat (1995)
Other mistake: When Hanna is tailing McCauley in the helicopter, he is informed that McCauley is headed east on the 105. When Hanna pulls McCauley over, you can see the highway sign saying that they are on the westbound 105.
5th Jan 2020
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Trivia: When Seth goes into the motel lobby to get a room, we see a shot of Richie waiting in the car. If you look to the far left of the dashboard, you can see a reflection of Red Apple cigarettes, the brand of cigarettes used in all of Quentin Tarantino's movies.
23rd Dec 2019
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Trivia: Anthony Daniels once again appears as C-3PO, making him the only actor to be in all Star Wars films. Similarly, C-3PO and R2-D2 are the only characters to appear in all 9 Skywalker saga films. Sadly R2-D2's original actor, Kenny Baker, passed away in 2016.
