Continuity mistake: When Elise is investigating her old bedroom, she runs her hand down a coat that's handing on a rack. In the first shot, she's running her hand down the sleeve. When the shot cuts to her POV, her hand is now suddenly running down the coat's chest and is higher up than it was in the previous shot.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Elise is investigating her old bedroom, a shadow walks up behind her, and she turns around and shines her flashlight on it, and the shadow turns into a coat on a hanger. In the first shot, she's standing sideways looking at the coat. In the next shot, she's instantly turned 90° and is fulling facing the coat.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Specs makes the bad joke about the "Winneba-ghost," Tucker goes from looking forward at Elise to looking sideways at Specs instantly between cuts. Then, in the very next shot, Specs goes from looking at Ted to looking at Tucker and Elise instantly between cuts.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Specs helps Ted move the table covered in bibles, Ted slides one of the bibles under his right armpit to hold it. But in the very next shot, suddenly the bible is in his left hand.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Tucker is demonstrating his voice-activated lights, the way he has his arms outstretched changes between cuts. (In the closeup, they're fully extended, but in the wideshot, they're only partially extended).

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: After Elise wakes up, the way she pets her dog Warren changes between cuts. (She has both hands on him, but in the first shot she's petting him with her right hand, and in the next shot her left).

Continuity mistake: When Elise's father is taking her down to the basement and he screams "I punish people for a living!" watch Elise's mother. Her hands (which were down by her waist in the previous few shots) are instantly up by her neck when it punches in to a closeup of her crying.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Audio problem: In the opening scene, when Christian asks young Elise "How did you know that?!" after the talks about the man who was just executed, his mouth isn't moving. (True, he's out of focus in the background, but he's not speaking).

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when we first see Gerald sitting down, there's a lamp on the table next to him. There is no visible cord coming out of the lamp. A few shots later, suddenly a cord appears on the table, coming out of the lamp. (It can be seen next to the yellow plate).

Spider-Man (2002)
Continuity mistake: At the Unity Day Festival, when Goblin says "Impressive!" and kicks Spider-Man away, watch closely. Goblin goes from standing on top of a bare ground to standing on top of some sort-of tarp instantly between cuts as Spider-Man hits the first table.

Spider-Man (2002)
Deliberate mistake: During the fight at the Unity Day Festival, at one point Goblin is confronted by some cops and beats them up. Watch closely... you can tell that the first and second shots are just different takes of the same stunt from a different camera angle. Goblin's movies are exactly the same (except slightly faster in the second shot), and you can also tell it's the exact same two cops he's hitting. They tried to artificially lengthen the scene by showing two slightly different takes of the stunt.

Bride of Chucky (1998)
Trivia: The opening scene at the evidence depository that shows things like Michael Myers' mask and Freddy Krueger's glove was originally written for "Child's Play 2," which was meant to open with a courtroom scene. The scene would have shown Chucky's remains being collected and taken to court. However, the scene was cut. Series creator and writer Don Mancini really loved the idea of an evidence locker full of references to other horror movies, so he reused it as the opening scene for this film.

Child's Play 3 (1991)
Question: In the 90's TV version, there's an extra scene where Tyler gives Andy a knife and says "A good soldier is always prepared" at the beginning. Later, they trade the knife back and forth. I could swear at the end of the TV version, when Tyler hands Andy the knife and he cuts Chucky's hand off, Tyler screamed "A good soldier is always prepared!" But that isn't on the "Deleted TV Scenes" on the new Shout Factory Blu-Ray. Anyone else remember that extra bit of dialogue, or am I misremembering?

Scream (2022)
Trivia: MAJOR SPOILERS: Courtney Cox was heartbroken when she read the script and saw that Dewey got killed off, since he was such a likeable, positive character. She tried to talk the directors out of actually killing him by throwing in a last-minute twist that he was still alive, such as her getting a text from him at the hospital and revealing he wasn't the one in the body-bag. However, she ultimately agreed with their decision to kill him off, since it raised the stakes.

Scream 2 (1997)
Trivia: SPOILER: There's a "blink and you'll miss it" clue to one of the killer's identities. When they discover Randy's body, there's a quick shot of his bloody hand. Among the smears of blood, you can also very briefly see a distinct red lipstick mark on his hand. It's similar to the lipstick shade Debbie Salt wears in a few scenes. Debbie is later revealed to be one of the killers, and mentions that she killed Randy. (Presumably he got her lipstick on his hand while they were struggling).

Scream 2 (1997)
Trivia: Gale's cameraman Joel leaving was actually an idea actor Duane Martin had. He pitched the idea to Wes Craven, saying that there's no way his character would actually stick around once the bodies started piling up. Craven asked him how he'd leave, and Martin replied that he'd "take a cab." Craven found this idea so funny that he actually worked it into the film, and also added the moment where Joel returns at the very end once the killers were dead.
