Deliberate mistake: The F&F series always shows some amazingly advanced (and unlikely) technology; in this movie there is a big usage of electromagnets that are nothing short of miraculous. Not only they have a strength that would require them to have generators tens of times bigger than the cars they are on, and repel with the same ease as they attract; they also attract objects with varying° of precision and direction, all by turning their simple dial.

Fast & Furious 9 (2021)
Other mistake: Towards the end of the end credits there's a "Special thanks" sections, including sponsors such as Fiat Chrysler etc. The first person thanked is "Leslie Finaly", a misspelling of "Leslie Finlay." (02:22:30)

The Cousin (1974)
Continuity mistake: Nini's mother fishes the telephone out of the bathtub. A naked little boy prances around the room and Christian De Sica is in a quite recognizable position, leg up scrubbing the sole of his foot. Cut, and De Sica is now simply sitting in the tub as if nothing happened. (00:22:00)

Fraulein: A Winter's Tale (2016)
Continuity mistake: The old man in the hotel lobby pulls the flowers out of the megaphone and calls the protagonist. She lowers the headset to talk to him. The left speaker is all the way across the opposite side of the neck in the first shot, less shifted to that side in close-up. (00:04:00)

The Suicide Squad (2021)
Factual error: During the briefing, Waller shows the map of the island of Corto Maltese. The map positions the fictional island in the Caribbean (it says "Mar Caribe"), but she says it is "off the coast of South America." The map does have also a set of precise coordinates in one of the middle quadrants; 45°43'36.0"S 56°32'58.2"W, which would place it far west of Argentina, surely nowhere near "Mar Caribe." (00:22:10)

Broadchurch (2013)
Episode #1.4 - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: The tabloid story with the plight of the Latimers just came out, and various characters are looking at it. In the bit when David Tennant tosses on the desk his copy of the Herald, the second paragraph of the second column goes "Sitting in the family home, surrounded by pictures and mementos of Danny" etc. It is the same text that was at the very beginning of the article when the store owner was looking at it. The newspaper is a prop with the same text in a loop. (00:35:00 - 00:36:30)

Street Sharks (1994)
Continuity mistake: To beat the traffic, Coop skateboards inside a construction pipe. The pipe is on the back of a truck, so it's not exactly very long, and gets picked up by a crane arm mounted on the truckbed itself. However, Coop takes ages to come out of the pipe, and in the shot from inside the pipe it looks as if is dozens of meters above the street level, which isn't. (00:08:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: Ishizaki misses his tackle on Misugi and knocks down the supporters instead. You can see that they fall into the playing field, inside the lines. Sanae sits on him. Though and the lines are gone. The pants of the rightmost bystander go from brown to blue, also. (00:17:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: When the supporter with the scaly-looking green skirt shouts "Misugi-san!" after his lame kick-off, she is missing "JUN" from the shirt. (00:06:30)

Captain America and The Avengers
Character mistake: When the Quinjet explodes approaching the secret moonbase, the explosions cause several "POOM" onomatopeia, deviating by one curved stroke from the accepted standard "BOOM."

The Wicker Man (1973)
Continuity mistake: In the finale, Willow and the librarian recite the identikit of the sacrificial lamb. When Britt Ekland says her lines in two close-ups, her hair is neatly arranged and immune to the wind that blows in every other shots.

The Wicker Man (1973)
Continuity mistake: During the ritual, the hobbyhorse wriggles before lord Summerisle. The swordsmen then gather around a stone; in the next shot they are standing on the stone, with the shadows that show that a disproportionate amount of time has passed.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Character mistake: During the tutorial, Phoenix needs to be reminded a few things. The judge asks him the victim's name, and Mia Fey next to him tells him where to look to get that information. Her line though is flubbed, since instead of "the victim's name" she says "Look, the defendant's name is in the Court Record." This mistake was spotted and fixed in the "Ace Attorney Trilogy" remake.

Rules Don't Apply (2016)
Continuity mistake: In the back of the car, Marla and her mother are discussing Marla's "unsupported body parts" and their undulations. When she replies "How does he know they're unsupported?", the left bit of the scarf at her neck shifts from one side of the buttoned top to the other. (00:14:10)

The King of Fighters All Star
Stupidity: During the Valentine's day event, the bad guys attack "chocolate factories" the day of St. Valentine to spoil the festivity so "there will be no chocolates to buy." That's not a very timely plan; even if they wreck the factories that day, the chocolates have been already delivered to the stores.

Void's Calling
Other mistake: When Forlan meets Radna in the cabin in the woods, he mentions that he's in as much of a hurry as she is. At the end of the encounter, the dialogue mentions that she is the one in a hurry, and not him. Moreover, this second encounter can happen in the same day as their first meeting, which does not make logical sense.

Murder on the Orient Express (2015)
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When he is asked "The culprit is a woman, isn't it?", the doctor is suddenly holding the pen between both hands instead of just with the right hand. (00:29:55)
