Continuity mistake: During the introduction of the trial, the first time we see the defendant as Judge Thelma Stewart reads his name, there is a pen in front of him, horizontal, off the notepad. Wider angles show the pen on top of the notepad.

Juror #2 (2024)
Continuity mistake: In the kitchen scene at the beginning of the movie, the protagonist's pregnant wife jokes about him saying something "wildly inappropriate" to the judge to be exempted. In close-up, she has no hair running down the front of her left shoulder, as opposed to the rest of the scene.

Juror #2 (2024)
Factual error: Justin Kemp is summoned for the jury hearing on Monday, 26 October 2022, according to the letter his wife holds in close-up at the beginning of the movie. Hard to be there on Monday, since 26 October in 2022 was a Wednesday.

Matlock (2024)
Episode #1.6 - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: In the flashback from their first shot at the lawsuit, Olympia joins the factory worker for his smoke break. She tells him she actually quit, and he asks her, "You miss it?", lowering his arms. When she replies in the next shot, he lowers them again. She also holds the cigarette in a different way.

Gladiator II (2024)
Factual error: Caracalla and Geta in this movie are decadent mad kings, but that's a portrayal that has no foundation in history - here they look more like their successor Eliogabalus. Caracalla in particular, who was the elder brother, wasn't an effeminate sybarite plagued with syphilis; on the contrary, even by his detractors, he was mostly remembered for being, or at least acting, very soldier-like; "Caracalla" was his nickname, after a military mantle.

Gladiator II (2024)
Factual error: Much like its predecessor, this movie sorta speedruns through emperors; Geta and Caracalla here are shown as both ruling Rome as "twin emperors" in 200 AD, and die within a couple of days of each other, betrayed by Macrinus, who dies the same day. None of that is anywhere close to how things happened, to the point that discussing dates is sorta pointless; nothing resembles history if not in the loosest sense. Macrinus in this movie is never even formally proclaimed emperor, as opposed to him ruling for at least a full year.

Gladiator II (2024)
Factual error: The movie begins in 200 AD, and the victorious general Acacius celebrates triumph and reports to the twin emperors that he conquered Numidia in their name. This may be less of an accomplishment than it appears when you consider that Numidia had already been a Roman province for centuries.

Gladiator II (2024)
Other mistake: Macrinus and one of his high-ranking friends are discussing Lucilla's son, who disappeared when Commodus died. The guy says that Lucius disappeared when he was "about 12," but in the original Gladiator, he was barely about to turn 8. They also say these events happened 16 years prior, but, again according to the movie lore (without even looking at history), he died in 180 AD, and this movie is set in 200 AD.

Gladiator II (2024)

Factual error: After the naval battle, Thraex is waiting for an informant who tips him off about Lucilla and Marcus Acacius's plans. And of course, as a well-educated gentleman of 200 AD, he kills time by reading the newspaper. Wait, what? Needless to say (to anyone but Ridley Scott, probably), ancient Romans wouldn't/couldn't exactly get their news by newspaper, the press having not been invented yet. This one looks so modern in its layout it even has headlines and a proper publication title, "Roma Viridia."

Gladiator II (2024)
Continuity mistake: When Macrinus is poisoning Caracalla's mind, telling him about supposed plans of his brother to use him as a scapegoat, Caracalla shouts, "That's a LIE, he's... he always LIES." The cup suddenly switched hands.

Agatha All Along (2024)
Revealing mistake: When Agatha's apparent nemesis makes her grand entrance, blasting the front door open, the powerless witch gets thrown against the closet door. The face of Kathryn Hahn's stunt double is fully visible before the camera cuts away to show the fall. (00:30:45)

Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: During the interrogation scene, the folder and the notepad are positioned differently depending on the camera angle. (00:20:00)

Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: When agent Vidal asks Agnes, "Where have you traveled?", Kathryn Hahn's hand is suddenly in a different position in close-up. (00:16:00)

Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene when Agnes and her ex are drinking beer in the living room, Aubrey Plaza's hands awkwardly shift position in the transitions between shots as she swallows after Agnes' TikTok anecdote. (00:15:30)
15th Nov 2024
Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Norm the jeweller appraising the locket, depending on the camera angle he holds it in his right hand or with both hands. Then, before the scene wraps up, he makes the 200 $ offer with folded arms, but listens to Agnes' reply with open arms. (00:11:35)
15th Nov 2024
Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: Agnes forces Dottie to cooperate by threatening to disturb the quiet of the library. Just before she starts shouting, she puts the card down directly on the desk. However, in the next shot, the card is atop a book. (00:06:05)
15th Nov 2024
Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: Agatha crouches by the freshly rolled-over corpse, does not touch it, but when the camera pans up and away as she walks off, it changes position (for instance, their arm moved to the opposite side of the "1" tag). (00:03:50 - 00:04:40)
15th Nov 2024
Agatha All Along (2024)
Continuity mistake: In the woods, Agatha picks her locket up from a puddle. Herb calls her because they are going to roll the body over. Look at her ponytail as she turns around; in close-up, it suddenly gets over the coat's collar. (00:03:30)
