Hot Shots Part Deux mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the American prisoner is being tied to the electric device, the twisty-tie is on his bare skin. In later shots, it is on his sleeve. (00:22:20)

How I'm Spending My Summer Vacation - S2-E17

Plot hole: When Kevin is upset about Paul leaving for summer and is just lounging around the house, he asks why they can't go on vacation. His mom says "Maybe next Summer." In the very next episode, which takes place in the same Summer, they are going on a "traditional" Summer vacation.

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk and the Kid - S3-E16

Character mistake: Stottlemeyer says that the human finger was "still bleeding, freshly severed." But prior to him saying this, when we are shown the finger, there is no bleeding whatsoever and the blood on the severed end had already dried.

Yeah Baby! - S6-E6

Factual error: When Paul demonstrates his Portuguese, the subtitles read "My monkey needs a haircut," when the translation is actually "I feel very sick."

All the Wrong Moves - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: When Charlie and Caitlin are talking in the hall, they see Paul using his new rowing machine. It is sticking a few inches out of his office. The shot changes as the pair start walking and you can see the rowing machine is now about three feet or so out of his office. (00:09:20)

The Beach (2000)

Question: Where did the filming for this movie take place? I assume there are many different areas, but the place I'm most interested in is the lagoon, where we see the brothers fishing, and where Richard has his encounter with the shark. Also, is this a populated area? It looks like it could be a good tourist attraction.

Knever

Chosen answer: It's Ko Phi Phi Leh island off the coast of Thailand. It's a protected area, off the beaten path, and tourism is discouraged. There are resorts on nearby islands.

Battle Royale (2000)

Question: Is it ever explicitly explained in the novel why Kiriyama never speaks, or why he "volunteered" for the Battle Royale?

Knever

Chosen answer: He speaks in the book, actually, such as explaining that he flipped a coin to decide if he would participate in the game. He never felt emotion because of damage to his brain before he was born, which is why he's such a psychopath, but he didn't volunteer for the game. He was just part of the class that got selected, and had been forever. He actually had his own gang, who he kills at the beginning of the book.

Burn: Cycle

Plot hole: When Cutter is talking to Doc while he's in innerspace, he asks Doc how long he's been there, and Doc responds,"About three seconds." Cutter has been there for a lot longer, so he exclaims, "Three seconds?!", and Doc replies, "An hour to you is a second out here." The problem with this is that they are both conversing at a normal rate. If Doc's statement rings true, they wouldn't be able to have a conversation like that because Cutter would appear to be talking incredibly slowly, and Doc would appear to be talking at light speed.

Labyrinth (1986)

Visible crew/equipment: Just after falling into the Bog of Eternal Stench, the duo are moving along the ledge. As it breaks away, there is an overhead shot where you can see a white and blue piece of equipment at the top left corner of the shot. I don't know what it is but it's not in the next shot so it's not something natural to the Labyrinth. (00:55:45)

Demon Knight (1995)

Revealing mistake: When The Collector cuts his hand to summon the demons, you can easily see that no actual cut is made, and blood begins to drip from a point beneath the starting point.

Ghost Whisperer (2005)

Threshold - S4-E7

Plot hole: Jim taking over Sam's body just doesn't make any sense. It's plausible for a spirit to temporarily take over a living body, but a dead body is dead for a reason. It can't sustain life anymore. Death isn't a temporary ailment. It's permanent. What should have happened was the same thing that happened when another ghost took over a recently deceased person, which happened in a previous episode. The dead body would decay and start to lose function. Sam's body suddenly gaining back the properties of life is completely inconsistent with what we're led to believe in the setting of the show.

Suggested correction: This is a fictional show that pushed the boundaries and constantly changed the rules; how is this a mistake?

I tell myself that Sam's injuries were not as extensive as prom ghost so his body was able to stay alive.

I think what happened is that Sam jumped out and went into the light before they were able to revive him. Had he waited just a few more seconds next to his body He would have gone right back in. Some people die for a few seconds, and then they're able to bring them back through CPR or using the paddles and shocking his heart, etc.

The Book of Changes - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: When Eli tries to use a card to open Zoe's door, the card breaks. He is holding on to the larger piece of the card in his right hand when this happens and the smaller piece is in the frame. He gets the other piece and the shot changes to him suddenly holding the smaller piece in his left hand, as well as the card having been flipped around (the strip is seen in both shots, and the two shots face in opposite directions).

The Santa Clause (1994)

Audio problem: When the cops stop the random Santa on the street thinking that he's Calvin, he says, "It's not even my suit! It's a rental!" But his lips are completely out of sync.

Knever

Other mistake: When the guy is playing a computer game in the second scene, he complains to one of his teammates not following orders. He is seen with his hands away from his keyboard, yet his character in the game is moving about. (00:03:00)

Wishmaster (1997)

Revealing mistake: After the Djinn escapes and there's an explosion in the lab, you can see some stuff on the ground that looks like it's on fire. The objects are not actually burning, the fire is being produced by a burner. There's no smoke from the objects, which is a dead giveaway that they're not actually "on fire." (00:18:15)
