Trivia: In Hyrule Field, the sky is actually just a small, rotating box with a sky texture that's right around the in-game "camera." However, it's programmed to "draw" behind everything else on-screen, so it looks like it's in the deep background and in the sky.

Hellraiser (2022)

Trivia: The first "Hellraiser" to have the direct credited involvement from franchise creator Clive Barker since "Hellraiser: Bloodline" in 1996. (Barker reportedly gave some minor notes on the sixth film, "Hellseeker," during editing, but was uncredited and uninvolved otherwise.) Director David Bruckner said Barker was heavily involved and provided feedback, suggestions, artwork and references throughout production, and would help the team bounce ideas around for the story and characters.

Hellraiser (2022)

Trivia: The first film in the franchise to feature a female "Pinhead," as portrayed by actress Jamie Clayton, a trans-woman. Despite some minor backlash online, original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley has spoken out in support of Clayton, noting that the franchise has always been transgressive and unique, and that he loved her performance on the show "Sense8." It should also be noted that the Cenobites in the original book were mostly androgenous, though "Pinhead" was said to have a feminine voice.

Angel - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Giles closes the library for "filing, " we see Buffy grab a crossbow off a shelf. It is upside down when she grabs it. Instantly between cuts, it is right side up. You can tell from the grip thingy that sticks out from it. (It looks like she starts to rotate it in the first shot, but it's instantaneously flipped over in the next).

Angel - S1-E7

Audio problem: At the beginning of the episode at the Bronze, when Buffy gets up to go and Willow tries to get Buffy to stay, Xander suggests they can dance. But his mouth movements don't match the words when he says "Eh, yeah, it's early..." (His head is turned away from camera, but you can see the side of his mouth, and he's saying something else).

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Borba reawakens at the funeral home and says "I have been judged, " you can sort-of see Owen reflected in the glass in front of him, and Owen's face looks totally blank. When it cuts to Owen, Xander and Willow (right before the commercial break happens), Owen suddenly has a shocked expression on his face.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Deliberate mistake: When Buffy and Giles are searching the funeral home, we see three shots of Buffy and Giles opening up different mortuary-cabinet doors, shot from the point of view of the cabinet. The problem? You can tell they're opening and closing the same door over and over again. The background is exactly the same, and all they've done is slightly re-arrange the stuff behind them, and had the actors come in from different angles to create the illusion they're opening different doors. It's SUPER obvious.

The Addams Family (1991)

Trivia: The idea for the film came when producer Scott Rudin was in a van with several other executives. One of the executives' kids, who were also in the van, started singing the theme song to the 60's TV show, and soon, everyone joined in since they all knew the words. Rudin realised that the show and characters were still very relevant and well-known, and pitched the idea of turning "The Addams Family" into a movie the very next day.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The second time we see the van going to Sunnydale, the creepy guy is delivering a weird sermon. At one point, we see him reflected in the driver's mirror, and he is gesturing with his right hand, which is up around his abdomen/chest area. It then cuts and suddenly his hand is down by his side.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The second time we see the van going towards Sunnydale, the creepy religious zealot guy puts his arm on the seat behind the mother and child. It then cuts to a closeup of them, and we cannot see the creep's arm behind them. It cuts back to a wideshot, and suddenly his arm is behind them again.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Audio problem: When Xander is talking to Blaine in the cell, Blaine is explaining what Miss French/She-Mantis does. At one point Blaine says "She ties you up, " but his mouth doesn't match the words at all. His mouth and the words match for every other line, so I'm assuming they decided to add that line in post.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Xander thinks he hears someone at Miss French's house, she distracts him by caressing his chin. In the two shots facing Miss French, she's touching his chin with her LEFT hand but in the shot facing Xander she's touching his chin with her RIGHT hand.
