Stan & Ollie (2018)

Factual error: Stan's wife Ida says St. Petersburg, Russia, is a nice place to visit. The city's name did not change from Leningrad to St. Petersburg until 1991.

South Park (1997)

Continuity mistake: Mickey Mouse uses an axe to cut down a tree for Christmas. Each chop he makes is horizontal, but when the tree falls over, the lower part of the trunk comes to a point, and the stump remaining in the ground has disappeared.

Trivia: In the later seasons, almost every scene taking place at the Dobson and Kelly law office or in the Emporium or other local business is preceded by the same clip of a downtown street showing "First Bank" and a passing bus.

The Goat - S11-E19

Plot hole: Rick is taking care of his girlfriend's goat for a few days. He puts a bowl of milk on the floor, but The Goat will not drink. Harriet suggests, "We're probably just using the wrong method." The next scene shows Ozzie at the stove, heating milk in a baby bottle. Rick is 22 years old. Why would Ozzie and Harriet still have a baby bottle in the house?

The Goat - S11-E19

Character mistake: Rick and his girlfriend are enjoying a picnic in the woods when a baby goat wanders by. Rick says, "He looks hungry. Seen any tin cans around?" Peggy replies, "I don't think they eat tin cans until they're older." Goats will eat the labels of cans but they do not eat the cans.

Suggested correction: It's not a character mistake if Rick genuinely believes goats eat tin cans, but it's clear his girlfriend was being sarcastic in her reply about goats not eating tin cans till they're older. Of course, Rick could be asking if there's one around so The Goat can eat the label.

Dave and the Teenager - S11-E17

Other mistake: When the Harris family moves into an apartment across the hall from David and June Nelson, their 14-year-old daughter, Betty, develops a crush on David. When David and June step out onto their outdoor patio, they see Betty watching them from her own patio. This could not be possible.

Monkey Business (1931)

Other mistake: A crewman tells the ship's captain he knows there are four stowaways because he heard them singing "Sweet Adeline," a popular barbershop quartet song. Harpo never spoke in any of the Marx Brothers films. The crewman could not have heard four voices.

Suggested correction: This would be trivia at best. Just because an actor didn't have dialogue doesn't mean his character couldn't have been singing. Nor was Harpo a mute.

The Little Mermaid trivia picture

Trivia: Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the 1989 animated movie "The Little Mermaid", appears in the live-action film as a marketplace vendor who offers Ariel a plate of food and a fork. In a reference to the original film, Ariel uses the fork to comb her hair. (01:20:30)

Continuity mistake: In "Disorder In The Court" (1936), Curly is on the witness stand in a courtroom. When he tips his chair and falls backwards, a stunt double is used. The double's hair is much darker. When Moe and Larry rush over to pick him up, he is facing the wall. In the close-up, Curly is now facing forward. (00:05:00)

Continuity mistake: "Rusty Romeos," a 1957 short co-starring Joe Besser, is a remake of "Corny Casanovas," a 1952 short co-starring Shemp Howard. In a scene using stock footage from the earlier film, Moe and Larry are fighting, and a framed photo of Shemp is on a small table next to the couch. In the following scene, using new footage, the photo is of Joe. (00:15:10)

Talking Guns - S4-E6

Other mistake: Gene Autry is chasing Mack Healy and his outlaw gang, who are using Jim Decker's house and mine as a base of operations. Healy gives Decker a rifle and tells him they're being followed by a "claim jumper." Healy says there are seven bullets in the gun. When Autry rides into view, Decker begins shooting. He fires eight shots. (00:18:10)
