Trivia: During the musical montage, there's a scene with dancing men wearing white shirts and jeans. During one move - when they kick in the air - you can see that the dancer in the center has ripped his jeans in the middle.

Jigsaw (2017)
Factual error: The depiction of lasers is completely off in the movie. While surgical laser is indeed a real thing, such a highly concentrated beam with enormous cutting power seen in the film would take industrial size instruments and an extremely high power supply. Also, a laser beam simply doesn't look that way. Those scenes are way off into science fiction for an otherwise raw and realistic-looking thriller.

Jigsaw (2017)
Continuity mistake: As Anna and Mitch get trapped in the silo, various sharp and pointy tools begin to fall on them (a pitchfork, circular saw blades, nails, etc.), but when Ryan finally pulls the lever and the silo door bursts open, they all disappear. Only the wheat and the trapped duo can be seen "flowing" out.

Transcendence (2014)
Continuity mistake: The car the hybrid man pushes is in OK shape at first, then he lifts and flips it through the copper fence, and now its whole front side is gone. They might used an already wrecked "car double" for the scene when it crashes and explodes. (01:40:50)

My Name Is Earl (2005)
Other mistake: When Earl meets with Kimmi in her room, she's supposed to watch "You've Got Mail" - her TV, however, is switched off.

The Last of Us (2023)
Please Hold to My Hand - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Joel tries to drive through the rebel trap, the bad guy throws a big rock/brick on the pickup that creates a reasonably sized crack on its windshield - as we can see it from inside the car. However, during all the next outside shots, the windshield is intact - actually, it looks brand-new.

My Name Is Earl (2005)
Character mistake: While filming the cheerleader performance, Jasper refers to his inability of using computers ("We're gonna put this on YouTube as soon as one of us figures out how to use a computer!"). Earlier in the series, however, Jasper ordered himself a Russian wife online, so this statement is definitely off-character.

My Name Is Earl (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Earl accidentally kicks Joy with the ball, it hits her upper forehead, nowhere close to her nose which is broken afterwards.

My Name Is Earl (2005)
Visible crew/equipment: When Darnell is amused by the funny greeting card, as the camera moves towards him, you can spot a crew member (most likely a boom mic operator) on the left side of the screen, on the other side of the display shelf. His/her arm is well visible but you can even see his/her head for a brief moment.

My Name Is Earl (2005)
Continuity mistake: Despite Randy's serious cat allergy (revealed in S2E4 "Larceny Of A Kitty Cat"), he's got no problem carrying a kitten in his newfound suit.

Murdoch Mysteries (2008)
Stroll on the Wild Side part 2 - S5-E8
Revealing mistake: Towards the end of the episode, when Murdoch attacks Falcone, look closely: the first punch - which knocks the mob boss down - looks convincing but the second time Murdoch "hits" him, he punches nothing but the ground. Falcone is facing right while the detective strikes his left side, at least an inch away from his head.

Murdoch Mysteries (2008)
Revealing mistake: When the arrow hits Brackenreid, a blood patch appears instantly around the wound. In reality, the arrow itself would clog the bleeding for seconds at least.

Murdoch Mysteries (2008)
The Ministry of Virtue - S14-E6
Continuity mistake: Around the middle of the episode, Hart and Carmichael walk down a street with ice cream cones in their hands. When they stop for a brief face to face discussion, the ice cream in the man's hand keep changing from full portion to half-eaten and vice versa as the camera perspective switches back and forth.

War of the Worlds (2005)
Question: A technical question about the movie. How exactly did they film the scene where the camera keep circling around the car Ray and his kids are fleeing the city with? There're no cuts or any visible sign of a camera platform or other classic filming tricks. It looks awesome.
Answer: The corridor crew on youtube talked about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkvXGI6bk2Q&t=1017s Timestamp is 15:35 to skip to the scene you want.

Murdoch Mysteries (2008)
Other mistake: Pendrick states that the rocket barrel is 70 metres long (deep). Despite that, Murdoch reaches the bottom in mere seconds, has enough light to see around and is even able to hear the others outside.

Murdoch and the Temple of Death - S8-E10
Continuity mistake: When Murdoch and Dr. Bajjali reach the grail chamber, the detective tosses a coin on the pedestal to see if it's trapped. The coin triggers the firetrap and falls to the ground. Murdoch then throws another coin which ends up resting on top of the pedestal, next to the fake grail. Now, when the detective removes the pedestal cover, there is a quick cut when both coins can be seen on the top of it, despite that the first one is supposed to lie on the ground.

Answer: During Prohibition, which lasted throughout the 20's and early 30's, alcoholic beverages were effectively entirely banned in the US. Illicit, illegal places (often referred to as a "speakeasy" or "rotgut room") were created where people could drink alcohol on the down low. They were often secret establishments or hidden areas within another business. The secret room in the bar is one such room. The reason there are peepholes in the room is so they could keep an eye out for unwanted company (aka, the police or other authorities) while people illegally drank. If they saw the police coming, they could hide the booze and try to find a way to sneak out.
