Death in Paradise (2011)

The Stakes Are High - S7-E2

Other mistake: Meeting with the suspects for the first time, Jack is flipping through the brochure with the player profiles while "The prof" is saying that logistically speaking the murder is impossible. Jack looks down at a page, but the close-up shows a different one. (00:08:35)

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Other mistake: The intro is capped by something supposedly cool but hilarious for the wrong reasons; Kirsten Stewart gets thrown off the top of a building (just for funzies) by her colleague; she emerges though a few seconds later, barefoot on the landing skid of a helicopter. Besides praising her luck for not getting chopped by the blades, the quality of the CGI of the helicopter is low, and while it's a movie cliche to have helicopters definitely quieter than their RL counterparts, here it's strikingly absurd; a helicopter a few meters away from a skyscraper would have not just alerted the baddies, but rattled every window and cutlery on the table; here they make just barely enough wind to puff the curtains leaving undisturbed Tang's hair and Patrick Stewart's jacket.

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Other mistake: The Angels do a clean sweep of all the bad guys, tie them up and put their heads in bags. It's kind of a plot point that they have all the baddies perfectly packed up and ready for delivery. However when Bosley makes his entrance, there's a guy in the elevator he leaves behind, the door closes and nobody 'bags' and/or ties him up. He's just unaccounted for. (00:05:10)

Sammo

Other mistake: In the World Youth (part I) story mode section, during the cutscene going by the title "Sao Paulo try-outs" there's dialogue between Roberto Hongo and Tsubasa where the two lines "This will be my first step... in Brazilian football" come from Brazilian coach and former star-player Roberto's mouth, when it's Tsubasa that should say it, being a Japanese youngster who just arrived in Brazil. The cutscene even ends with an artwork of Tsubasa saying that very same sentence.

Sammo

Other mistake: In Story Mode, the first chapter of the World Youth segment has a Shingo Aoi mission titled "In Italy, they call him 'El Principe del Sole' ." No they would not!"El" is Spanish, the definite article in italian is "il." Il Principe del Sole, is how they would call him.

Joker (2019)

Other mistake: In a city of millions and millions of inhabitants, when the protagonist chases his neighbour till she enters the building in William Street, the taxi that passes in front of him as he crosses the road is the same taxi with license plate T 9362 that nearly ran him over at the very beginning when he was trying to get his sign back. Which incidentally is a model of Chevy Caprice post-1981 (likely a 1987 Caprice). (00:02:25 - 00:24:35)

Star Trek: Picard (2020)

Remembrance - S1-E1

Other mistake: Picard gives the mysterious girl some Earl Grey. She has it in hand only in one shot, the faraway one when the two Romulan servants are leaving. The way the scene goes, at no point during the whole scene does she have time to even take a sip. (00:19:05)

Sammo

Other mistake: One of the headlines you can get when your government instability is high says "Mass Rallies Call for Premiers Resignation", without the appropriate apostrophe.

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Other mistake: In the hit on Port Commissioner Griffin at the beginning of the movie, he picks up the phone at 9:20 (office wall clock). When he is killed, there's a close-up of his phone that is totally, well, phony for many reasons. Most notably, the time of the call is stuck at 36 seconds even when the close-up lasts longer than a second. You can read also on top that the time is 1:44 PM, which is inconsistent with what shown earlier and with the fact that it's evening! It is also displayed as a Blocked Caller, too, which makes no sense. (00:02:10 - 00:03:00)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Other mistake: During the carpet bombing, a single bomb quite literally shreds half of a concrete building (at least 5 storeys), but a number of them do not have any special effect on the already wrecked stadium dome. (00:10:20)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Other mistake: The 60,000 ton White Base backs into the stadium stands and there's virtually no damage, nor vibrations and sounds big enough to tip the troops of their whereabouts. Such an impact, even if not at top speed, would hardly be without consequences. (00:09:20)

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Fraw Bow makes her way to Amuro's room, she starts going up a metal staircase with rather steep steps. Haro behind her hops on steps that appear wider and lack the side railing...but the best comes later, since when we see Fraw Bow reach the top she's climbing a vertical ladder. (00:02:55)

Sammo

Other mistake: The day before the business trip, Vince Vaughn enters his son's room. They have an awkward chat about masturbation and when he leaves, his son checks out of the bad things that bullies with even worse photoshop skills post on Facebook. He is looking at two different posts, but two comments are exactly the same in both, complete with the same peculiar spelling mistake. (00:08:30)

Sammo

Other mistake: In the narration of the first hentai sequence with the main character's maid, the text says that the nipples "hardene" under the shirt. Missing a D.

Knives Out (2019)

Other mistake: Marta sinks her white shoes in the mud to cover her tracks. We see that the shoes are, as they should be, all dirty to the sole and welt. They are clean again in the following scene though (on a sidenote, the shoes have been cleaned after the murder then, and she or her mom missed the bloodstain - it's very much possible, it just adds a little implausibility). (00:57:20)

Knives Out (2019)

Other mistake: During the revelation of the second death, when the killer opens the toxicology report they just retrieved, the date is revealed; it says it was issued on 09/27/2018. But the events of the movie happen in November (it's Sunday 18th Nov when Marta wakes up with all the reporters at her door). It should also be noted that when a close-up of the report was shown earlier (when Ransom was looking at the anonymous letter brought by Marta) that copy had a big stamp in a corner saying 11-17-18, that in this copy is totally absent. (01:56:55)

The Core Fighter's Escape - S1-E7

Other mistake: The Core Fighter has been launched using the catapult that shot it over Garma and Char's position. Despite the need to move forward and the huge momentum built being shot like a missile by White Base, when Amuro dogfights with Char's capsule he flies in all directions around it, and Char's ascended almost vertically. (00:14:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Other mistake: At the beginning of the trip we see close-ups of the passports of the three girls being stamped. The date is 19 Jun 2010. During the climax of the movie Emma's boyfriend puts a copy of "Le Parisien" on the counter, and the date there is Jun 10 2010. (00:12:00 - 01:26:20)
