Plot hole: When they enter the bridge, Kirk says, "McCoy and I have to do this; the rest of you do not." It is Scotty who works on getting the spacedoors open, but if he did not have to be there, then how did Kirk plan to get the spacedoors open?

Plot hole: During evacuation, when Wesley is beamed off the ship, there are room for one more person on the transportation pad. You would think they would like to transport as many people away as fast as possible.

Memphis Belle (1990)
Continuity mistake: During the crash landing propeller blades are flying off. Later on when then plane comes to a stand still the blades are back but bent backwards.
Suggested correction: I've seen this exactly. I always thought it was the turf being kicked up by the blades. Now, whether propeller blades could have taken that impact, I don't know.

Continuity mistake: William Riker is playing cards with La Forge and Worf. The camera is focusing on Riker and there is no 4th chair. When Tom Riker enters, William says "Why don't you join us" and now removes his trombone from the 4th chair which has suddenly appeared. (00:31:25)

Titanic (1997)
Factual error: During the sinking scene, Murdoch looks down the crew stairs on the starboard side, where water is entering from an open door on deck A. That door should have faced outward (starboard side) otherwise the door would have lead into cabin A7 and I don't think the occupant would have enjoyed that.

Conspiracy - S1-E25
Revealing mistake: After the fight with Riker, Quinn throws Worf through the room, hitting a wall. The replicator part of the wall moves.

All Good Things... (2) - S7-E26
Visible crew/equipment: Captain Picard joins the poker game and Data asks the Captain if he wants to deal. Picard says "Thank you Mr. Data." Riker sits down, and just before Captain Picard starts saying "Actually..." a camera or other bit of equipment briefly pops into shot behind Riker.
Suggested correction: That's not equipment; that's Geordi's VISOR briefly popping in. You can see Geordi is seated next to Riker in other shots.
