The Devil and Miss Jones (1941)
Continuity mistake: Higgins hands mister J.P. Merrick the card from the Personnel head of the department store. Charles Coburn is holding it with both hands, which in close-up becomes just the right hand. (00:07:00)
28th Sep 2021
Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)
Other mistake: Legendary wrestler Antonino Rocca makes a cameo appearance in the movie. He is, as correctly listed in the closing credits, one of the "Funeral Attendants" together with Michael Weil. However in the opening credits he was specifically billed as the Funeral Director, which is Ronald Willoughby's role as correctly listed in the end credits. (00:00:50 - 01:45:15)

The Bat (1959)

27th Sep 2021
Hell Up in Harlem (1973)
Other mistake: Throughout the whole scene when Black Caesar is wounded by the Irish hitman several passers-by can be seen looking directly into the camera, and in many shots people are crowded together on the sidewalk watching the filming. Conversely, the hitman fires a big and loud revolver in the middle of a crossing with dozens of people and cars in close quarters, and nobody bats an eyelid. (00:03:00)

Tennis Manager (2021)
Character mistake: In the opening interview, one of the options during the question about playing styles is "I am a big fan of Pete Sampras or (sic) Roger Federer." However, due to licensing issues the ace Swiss player appears in the hall of fame as "Roger Feberer." It can't be both.

25th Sep 2021
Au Pair II (2001)
Revealing mistake: Grandma handles the remote control in clumsy fashion, sending the model helicopter too close to the buffet and ruining the party. That's the idea at least; in truth, the cakes are catapulted in the air by devices placed under them. They are easy to spot because of the wrong timing, the geyser-like puffs of smoke they create, and you can even see marks at the bottom of a tray. (00:07:30)
25th Sep 2021
Au Pair (1999)
Continuity mistake: Jennifer manages to thwart the nefarious plan of the kids who want to cuff her in the subway. During the scene, Heidi Lenhart's left hand grips the bar in close-ups, does not in other shots. (00:27:20)
24th Sep 2021
Tennis Manager (2021)
Character mistake: Despite the obviously heavy presence of female tennis players, in the interview section every question directed at a player managing a woman does not adapt the pronoun, so it's always "He won", "his form", etc.
24th Sep 2021
Phantom from Space (1953)
Continuity mistake: Lieutenant Bowers questions the survivor of the first encounter with the alien, suspecting he might have just clobbered a love rival. The telephone rings; after it happens, the sheet in front of the suspect does a 180°. (00:09:35)
22nd Sep 2021
Spider in the Web (2019)
Other mistake: Daniel realises that Adereth gave him his own passport. When he looks at it, notice the machine code line; it's the passport of someone born on April 30, 1963, far off from Daniel's age, and more importantly, not matching the ID's date. October 10th 1982. (00:20:30)
