Continuity mistake: Lourdes has a shopping basket with pregnancy test boxes, and a jar is to one side of them to the right. The next time the basket is shown it is fuller and the jar is lying across one of the boxes. (00:18:33)

Manifest (2018)
S.N.A.F.U. - S1-E7
Factual error: A kid comes to the police station to give Micaela a gun used in a murder. He has the gun in a paper bag in his hands. How could a kid enter the inner offices of the NYPD with a gun in his hands (albeit in a bag), and not get caught at least by metal detectors? (00:26:47)

For All Mankind (2019)
Pathfinder - S2-E4
Factual error: Ed and Gordo are both flying NASA T-38 Talon aircraft from Houston to the Cape. NASA is a civilian space agency, and all of its planes are registered as civilian aircraft. But Ed's T-38 is shown in one shot as having US Air Force registration.

Arrival II (1998)
Continuity mistake: Sandra and her strong man are pursuing Jack and Bridget. They almost catch up to them and bang up both sides of their wagon in the car chase. Bridget and Jack escape, with eventually Sandra and company in pursuit a way behind them, tracking them on an alien computer. When they reach the power plant where Jack and Bridget are, their car has no damage at all. (01:18:20 - 01:29:05)

The Good Doctor (2017)
We're All Crazy Sometimes - S4-E11
Question: A woman is on a breathing tube and she is in a coma. She later undergoes an operation and wakes up due to a dopamine inflow. She is talking normally although she still has the breathing mechanism (albeit not connected by a hose) in her neck. How can she talk normally with that tube still in her?

MacGyver (2016)
Diamond + Quake + Carbon + Comms + Tower - S5-E10
Other mistake: MacGyver makes a diamond in his kitchen to mount on a ring to propose to Desi. He shows it to Bozer, and - miracle of miracles - it is already faceted. (00:01:30)

MacGyver (2016)
Diamond + Quake + Carbon + Comms + Tower - S5-E10
Continuity mistake: MacGyver is running in Mexico City and runs into a car with driver coming down the road. When he gets up, the car is parked and no-one is inside. It is the same car with the same license plate. (00:10:10)

Arrival II (1998)
Character mistake: At the radio store a sign shown to Jack when he asks if they take personal checks is misspelled. It says "personnal." (00:58:55)
12th Mar 2021
Arrival II (1998)
Other mistake: Jack is rescued by Bridget at the train station where he is being pursued by Sandra (an alien). Bridget shows up in her car and drives him away so Sandra cannot catch him. But Sandra and Bridget have never met. How could she know Sandra was a threat? Even more confounding, how did Bridget know to find Jack at the train station? He was randomly thereafter jumping out of the car he was being abducted in. (00:50:30)

The Hidden II (1993)
Factual error: Detective Beck is at the morgue. A man comes by and make an incision in the detective's arm. Blood flows freely from the cut. That is not possible. Livor mortis would pool the blood in the lowest parts of the body after around six hours of being dead. And this cadaver has been dead much longer than that.

MacGyver (2016)
Rails + Pitons + Pulley + Pipe + Salt - S5-E9
Factual error: Every time the Phoenix Foundation airplane is shown, it has absolutely no markings. Every aircraft has to be registered somewhere and display its registration prominently, and no aircraft can fly in a country's airspace without a registration number at the very least. (00:01:55)
4th Mar 2021
MacGyver (2016)
Rails + Pitons + Pulley + Pipe + Salt - S5-E9
Factual error: MacGyver is using an improvised cutting torch to weaken a lock on a door. When he thinks he has cut enough he drops the torch and immediately holds on to the lock to open it. If It has been subject to a cutting torch long enough to weaken it, he would not be able to grasp the lock with his bare hands without seriously burning them. (00:15:00)

The Hidden II (1993)
Factual error: Detective Beck's daughter states that she had not seen her father for several years. That he lived as a hermit and did not let her in. Then why when she goes with the good alien to where her father used to live, she has the key to get in?

The Hidden (1987)
Continuity mistake: Detective Beck is shot by the stripper on the rooftop. He jerks to the right. Yet later it turns out he was shot on the left shoulder. If he was shot there, he would have jerked to the left.

The Expanse (2015)
Trivia: On a board at a spaceport there are arrivals shown. One of the ships is the UNN Dorie Miller. The U.S. Navy named an aircraft carrier after Doris "Dorie" Miller, a Black mess attendant who heroically leapt into combat during Pearl Harbor. This was the first time an aircraft carrier was named for an African American, and the first time a sailor has been so honored for actions taken as an enlisted man. For his bravery, Miller was awarded the Navy Cross. A fitting tribute to Black History Month. (00:37:55)

Encounter (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Will comes out of the garage to get Teresa, he has an alien's tentacle attached to him. When he and Teresa go in to the garage, he no longer has the tentacle attached. (00:34:25)
18th Feb 2021
Encounter (2018)
Stupidity: At the very beginning of the movie, law enforcement is depicted executing a no-knock warrant. They approach a house surreptitiously and use a ram to open the door with no warning. When they arrived at the scene, all the cars and trucks in the raid were using flashing lights and wailing sirens. So much for the element of surprise.

The Expanse (2015)
Continuity mistake: Naomi goes into the area with no oxygen. She is not wearing her helmet front shield. Yet in the next cut she is wearing it. (00:08:20)

Encounter (2018)
Factual error: Three men are having beer one night in the woods. One man says he has a picture of a girl he took the previous Tuesday. When he goes to get the picture (which would be on his phone), he complains that he can't show it because there is no signal reception. You don't need a signal to show a photo you took on your phone. (00:07:10)

Answer: That's a tracheal tube. Most people can talk perfectly normal with tracheal tubes. Check out Mattie Stepanek for one of the most famous examples. He had a tracheal tube for most of his life and never had problems with speech.
Got it. Many thanks.
