Continuity mistake: When Phil, Alan and Stu are sat in the diner near the start of the movie, the amount of orange juice in Phil's glass changes between shots, even though Phil doesn't drink from it once.

Thor (2011)
Trivia: When Agent Coulson asks for someone to "go up top" to get a good firing position on Thor when he tries to take Mjolnir, it is Clint Barton, AKA Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, who will go on to feature in The Avengers. (00:56:10)

Hall Pass (2011)

The Incredibles (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Bob Parr goes to his boss' office to be told off, you can see the door in the background is closed. Bob gets up and walks toward the door which he has now supposedly opened. You never see it physically come into shot, but when Bob is told to close the door, the shot hasn't changed but you can now see the door in shot being closed, which means the door suddenly opened itself. The framing of the shot never changes, therefore we should have seen the door in shot.

Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Maggie goes to look at the green Nissan 200SX, it has a set of standard Nissan alloy wheels. When the shot cuts to Herbie being lifted above the Nissan, the wheels have now changed to standard steel wheels.

The Naked Gun (1988)
Continuity mistake: Just before Frank accidentally nudges one of the fishermen into the river with his car, if you look in the background there is a police car. In the next shot of Frank getting out of his car on the pier, the police car is now noticeably much closer than in the previous shot.

Paul (2011)

Paul (2011)
Plot hole: The huge explosion that rips through Tara's house isn't very likely. She only left the stove on for a short while, and if there was really a massive concentration of gas as depicted by the explosion, the Agent who fired the shot that triggered it should have collapsed from inhaling so much gas.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
Other mistake: The train hits the Hummer in its back right corner, yet in spite of this, the Hummer still manages to get launched perfectly straight into the air. The hit from the train should have meant the Hummer was at least spinning sideways in the air as it was launched. (01:00:30)

Taken (2008)
Factual error: Bryan's hot wiring of the Volkswagen Golf is feasible, all except that he doesn't break the physical steering lock that would prevent him from turning the wheel. Old Volkswagens are quite difficult to break the steering lock, a sharp snap of the wheel does not break it as it's quite a bit more sturdy than a mere pin. Pulling at the wires does nothing to affect the steering lock, and the lock is shielded precisely to stop outside tampering. Not enough time had passed for him to achieve the task of removing the security. The scene shown is not a condensed montage scene, it's a complete scene from start to finish of what Bryan did to steal the car, and the steering lock was never broken.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Continuity mistake: Van Ryberg shoots a grenade, which goes in at an angle from the right of the screen to the left and hits the robot on its right side. Van Ryberg fires another grenade, and this time the grenade travels from the left side of the screen to the right hitting the left side of the robot. The problem is, Van Ryberg didn't move and shot both grenades from the same place, it would be physically impossible for him have hit the robot from both the angles depicted onscreen.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Plot hole: The Sheriff decides to go out in a blaze of glory by flying the helicopter into the robot. The robot has already stopped right next to Van Ryberg and the Doctor, yet the Sheriff still thinks flying a helicopter full of fuel (as witnessed by the huge explosion) is the best way to save his friends. Quite simply, if the robot didn't kill them, the massive fireball from the crash certainly should have.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Other mistake: One of the survivors says "I guess luck is on our side", he then gets hit with two laser blasts that hit him from immediately off to his right. The rest of the group run away, and the camera then cuts back to the exact same shot with the same background, and the robot that fired the laser blasts is now far away in the background. Its makes no sense that the robot would be close to the group to fire the lasers, and then move further away for the next camera shot.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Plot hole: The Sherrif and the two occupants of the police car get away from the black SUV, and the female says "I think we lost it", as that was the intention. Bizarrely, in an attempt to 'lose' the SUV, they park the police car in the centre of the road with the lights on the roof still lit, which then means the SUV finds them easily, making no sense whatsoever.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Other mistake: The Sheriff and Van Ryberg go to the armoury to get weapons, check to see if they are loaded and then leave. Absolutely no armoury in the world would leave loaded weapons racked up, ammunition is always kept separate.
16th Sep 2010
Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Other mistake: Van Ryberg shoots two grenades from his rifle at the robot, and big fiery explosions are seen. No grenade from that rifle would have fuel type explosion like that.
