Other mistake: When Lydia tells the ghost Nadia that she's having a "really shitty day" with her back to the camera, you can see she's not really talking and is actually putting a pill in her mouth. The dialogue was just dubbed over it. It then cuts to a different angle and we see her repeat the exact same motion as she takes the pill a second time between cuts.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
Deliberate mistake: When Sub-Zero is talking to Liu and Kitana, he says, "Legend has it that the princess is the key to stopping Kahn's plot!" This line literally makes no sense. Where did this supposed "legend" come from? Kahn's plot was a last-ditch attempt to conquer the Earth after his warriors lost the tournament, which happened mere hours before this scene. Legends can't be made in a matter of hours. And if there was a legend, his attack wouldn't have been a surprise then. Absolutely nonsensical writing.

Freaky (2020)
Revealing mistake: When the shop teacher walks up to Millie at the start of the film and slams the book, as he begins to step in front of her table, you can see him subtly "step down" even though he's on an even floor. Due to technical limitations, there needed to be a raised surface on the floor for the camera, a few inches off the ground. It was painted out digitally, but you can still see the actor step off the platform, making it look like he's "stepping down" on even ground. (Confirmed in Blu-Ray commentary.)

Freaky (2020)
Trivia: During the Blumhouse company logo at the start of the film, the ghostly little girl is actually holding La Dola, the cursed dagger. It was added in as an Easter egg for fans when they rewatch the movie. Additionally, the Universal logo is glowing blood red. It's the same shade of red that's in the glowing eye of La Dola.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Question: SPOILERS: When Sonic and Shadow land on the moon, they have a heart-to-heart conversation and appear to be breathing. But there's no air on the moon. Are we to assume that the Chaos Emeralds (which have given them both powers) are giving them the ability to breathe and speak in the environment?

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Trivia: SPOILERS: There are two credits sequences. In the first sequence, Sonic encounters a group of Metal Sonics that try to kill him. However, he is saved by Amy Rose, a character from the games. A post-credits scene shows Shadow's feet walking up to a crater where one of his gauntlets landed, revealing that he survived his apparent demise.

Kraven the Hunter (2024)
Trivia: Prior to release, the film was seen as something of a "last hurrah" and last hope for Sony's Spider-Man cinematic universe after a string of critical and commercial failures, leaving the future of the franchise up in the air. Unfortunately, the film ended up having one of the worst opening weekends of all time for a big-budget comic book movie, with only $11 million in domestic sales.

Madame Web (2024)
Trivia: During the final montage, when Cassandra says the line "standing up for what you believe," we see a shot of a camera swooping upwards towards a building's rooftop. The shot of the building is actually reused footage from the movie "Spider-Man 2," in a scene where Peter suits up and swings upwards in an alleyway. The only difference is that "Madame Web" sped up the shot ever so slightly.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Trivia: When Jim Carrey announced he was considering retiring from acting, he jokingly said he would consider returning to act if "angels" delivered a script "written in gold ink." In order to get Carrey back for this film, director Jeff Fowler had a copy of the script made that was printed in actual 24 karat golden ink to show how serious he was about the movie and the character.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Trivia: Director Jeff Fowler, who directed all three "Sonic the Hedgehog" movies, actually worked on the game "Shadow the Hedgehog" as an animation director. Given his past with the character, he was excited and honoured to be the one who got to introduce Shadow on the big screen.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Trivia: Following the release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", co-star Jim Carrey stated that he was considering retiring from acting, as he felt he had "done enough" in the film industry and was becoming somewhat burned out. However, he eventually agreed to star in this film because he loves playing the evil-genius Dr. Robotnik. Carrey also laughingly admitted that the huge paycheck he got was one of the deciding factors, especially because he "buys a lot of stuff."

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)
Trivia: Abel Ferrara, director of the film "Bad Lieutenant," was incredibly angry with the filmmakers, as he felt like they were stealing his concept and assumed it was a straight-up remake. He even went as far as to publicly say he hoped everyone involved in this film would be killed in an explosion. He later met with "Port of Call: New Orleans" director Werner Herzog, and they almost immediately made peace, with Herzog saying they spent most of the meeting laughing about the situation.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)
Trivia: Though sometimes billed as a sequel or remake to the movie "Bad Lieutenant," the films are not connected in any way beyond featuring a corrupt law-enforcement officer as the lead character. Director Werner Herzog tried to get the title changed because he didn't like the idea of it being compared to the original film since it was completely unrelated... and also because he hadn't even seen the original film.

Spider-Man (2002)
Trivia: Future comedy star Bill Hader was a production assistant on the film and was the one who hit James Franco on the head with the piece of "rock" that knocked him out during the Unity Day battle about midway through the film. Years later, Franco hosted SNL and immediately recognized Hader as the guy who hit him in the head.

Answer: They still have the Chaos Emerald power at that point because, immediately after, they turn gold and fly away.
Honestly, that's probably the best answer.
