Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when you first see the vampire, you see a girl behind him running from screen-right to screen-left. She's in a blue plaid shirt and jeans. The scene cuts to Buffy for a second, then cuts back to the vampire and you can see the same girl doing the exact same thing in the background... running from screen-right to screen-left. (It looks like they used two different takes of the same shot in the scene).

Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008)
Trivia: Was originally made under the title "Trouble At Mill," which is a piece of Northern England slang describing troubles outside of the household... especially workplace-related troubles. It was changed during production, as the filmmakers felt it might be too obscure for general audiences.

Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008)
Trivia: The final complete "Wallace and Gromit" film to feature original voice actor Peter Sallis before his retirement. He voiced the character in only one other project after - an educational mini-series that featured the character in short vignettes introducing segments about unique inventions.

Bullet Train (2022)
Trivia: Minor Spoilers: Director David Leitch previously made "Deadpool 2," which starred Ryan Reynolds, and in which Brad Pitt had a brief, blink-and-you'll-miss-it 2-second cameo. Leitch also directed this film, which stars Brad Pitt, and in which Ryan Reynolds has a brief, blink-and-you'll-miss-it 2-second cameo. (Reynolds appears very briefly in a flashback as the assassin Pitt is subbing for).

Bullet Train (2022)
Trivia: Just an interesting contrast and parallel... Director David Leitch previously made "Deadpool 2," which had a character named Domino who had the superpower of having amazing luck. Things would just work out for her. "Bullet Train" is almost the opposite. In this movie, Brad Pitt's Ladybug mentions throughout that he has terrible luck, and this reflected by absurd and awful things happening to and around him frequently. (Although he does have flashes of good luck here and there).

Bullet Train (2022)
Trivia: Minor Spoilers: It is revealed at the end that Ladybug's handler is played by Sandra Bullock in a cameo. (Her voice is heard throughout the film, but she doesn't appear onscreen until the final scene.) Originally, the role was meant to be played by Lady Gaga in a cameo. However, scheduling conflicts with "House of Gucci" made this impossible.

Child's Play (1988)
Trivia: Director Tom Holland was fired during post because (allegedly) he clashed with producers, and his director's cut was a huge mess. His cut ran 2 hours and had tons of superfluous scenes, plus a different voice for Chucky. The movie was supposedly laughed out of test-screenings, with one audience member quipping "Don't touch him! They'll make a sequel!" during the climax. Holland turned to an executive and said "Now I know how to fix it!", but the executive bluntly replied "You're fired. Get out."

Child's Play (1988)
Trivia: Director Tom Holland was extremely difficult on-set according to producer David Kirschner. While Kirschner respected Holland as a filmmaker, he was also volatile and controlling, and even started a physical fight with Kirschner over a simple disagreement. Kirschner also alleged that Holland fired a gun at him one day before revealing it was loaded with blanks; it was simply done as a cruel prank on Kirschner to assert "dominance." Needless to say, Holland wasn't asked back for the sequels.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
Trivia: During rehearsals, William Hurt and Raul Julia actually traded roles at one point as an exercise and rehearsed all their scenes together playing each other's parts. Raul Julia said it was a fantastic exercise, as it allowed him to see and hear what his co-stars saw while acting against him.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: Right after Max kisses the hand of Ryan's ditzy date, the shot cuts. In the first shot, her hand is still up, but instantly in the next shot, it's down by her side.
26th Aug 2022
Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Brooks is telling the embarrassing story about Max trying to give himself oral sex, at one point you see Kevin reach up and start to scratch his chin. The shot cuts, and suddenly both of his hands are down, and he's no longer scratching his chin.

Child's Play 2 (1990)
Trivia: When the CEO and his assistant are walking the hallways in the beginning talking about the doll, there's an employee with curly dark hair and glasses that follows them for about 10 seconds before ducking into a room. This is series creator Don Mancini in a small cameo. Mancini wrote or co-wrote every film in the series (except the 2019 reboot), and also co-wrote and produced the 2021 "Chucky" TV show.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
Trivia: Reportedly, both William Hurt and Raul Julia waived their usual upfront fees so the movie could get made because they believed in the project. The production was so tight that their usual paychecks would have eaten up too much of the budget.

Game Night (2018)
Deliberate mistake: When Michelle brings up the photo of "Fake Denzel" on her phone, she says she put it into a hidden folder. Problem? She only presses on her phone once (based on the sound you hear), and has the photo up and filling the screen within about one second. Totally preposterous. Obviously, it was done that way to keep the scene moving quickly... but there's no way a single button press and a timespan of about one second is going to bring up and maximize a photo from a hidden folder on her phone.
Suggested correction: The very faint click you hear could be her phone unlocking, so we don't know how often she taps the screen. That said, yes, it's unlikely she'd be able to access the photo that fast.
I don't understand this correction, because it literally just seems to reinforce the original mistake. Unlocking her phone wouldn't instantly bring up a photo in a hidden folder.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Michelle tells the kidnappers "We got you the list!" right before Gary shows up, she goes from facing down at the ground to facing up at the kidnappers instantly between cuts.
26th Aug 2022
Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Max and Brooks are having their heart-to-heart conversation on the bridge (while they are being held at gunpoint), the directions they are facing instantly changes between edits a few times. Sometimes they are facing forward... sometimes they are facing each other... etc.
26th Aug 2022
Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: After Max says "That's great... now they're gonna kill my brother," he turns to face Annie and then starts turning his again right as the shot cuts. The scene cuts to a different angle, and he is instantly facing straight forward and not moving at all.
26th Aug 2022
Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When the group is playing Jenga to distract Gary, and Ryan snaps at Annie to make a decision, pay attention. In the first shot, Annie has her hand on her chin like she's thinking, but instantly between cuts, her hand is down on the table.

Game Night (2018)
Revealing mistake: During the car chase, there are a few brief moments where you can get a look at the stunt-drivers who are driving the cars in the wideshots. They look similar to the actors... but not exactly the same.
26th Aug 2022
Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: During the car chase, there are a few moments where the background we see outside of the car windows doesn't quite match the background we see outside when we get wideshots of the cars driving. It usually matches, but there's 2 or 3 moments where it doesn't scatter throughout the scene.
