Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Continuity mistake: Barbara kicks the Dangerous Drunk one last time, and we see him fall with the feet next to the curb of the sidewalk. The man is still conscious and tries to move, seemingly to crawl forward, but we do not see him even budge, and when Leon the cultured hobo arrives mere seconds later the guy is unconscious and can't even move, but he's in the middle of the road now.

Other mistake: The Emir wishes his ancestral land to be returned to him and the heathens to be kept out, but the wall that magically appears has 'heathens' on both sides of it, so his wish does not seem to be fulfilled. (01:19:00)

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Factual error: Past the escalator, Steve and Diana walk past some literal punks who are wearing T-shirts. Some are appropriate for the period (such as the Bad Brains one, their debut album is from 1982) but the one with the cheetah leggings is sporting a Cro-Mags T-shirt; their debut album "The Age of Quarrel" (and its artwork is on the T-shirt itself) was a September 1986 release and this unfortunately isn't Wonder Woman 1986.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Season 2 generally

Plot hole: Seeing The Child in episode 2-1 minute 10, Amy Sedaris' character shouts "Thank the Force." Up to that point nobody seemed to have the faintest idea of what sort of mysterious energy Grogu was using. It gets worse in episode 2-3 when Mando uses as greeting for the New Republic "May the Force be with you", which is used later other times. With the concept of Force being this ingrained in people's culture, it's inconceivable that *everyone* is completely clueless about Jedi, especially considering that Order 66 with the Jedi purge happens barely 30 years before the events of the Mandalorian, and several characters such as Kuiil or Greef Karga were alive and active during the time when Jedis were powerful and part of the administration.

Suggested correction: There's a difference between seeing the Force used and knowing what it is and the common phrase "thank the Force" or "may the Force be with you." Plus, the Child is not a Jedi.

Bishop73

Not technically a Jedi, but he has been trained by Jedi and does those magical Force things that people would associate with Jedi, and would be perceived as such, if only people had any memories about them. Mando and Greef do not have the faintest idea of such 'magic' having ever existed, and Kuil has heard 'rumors' of it. Less than 30 years. Really, it's a common problem for all the Star Wars saga to some extent and it has been already debated to death. In this series nobody even seems to know the concept of Force in season 1, then in season 2 it pops up with random mentions.

Sammo

The sayings are just customary more than knowledge of the Force. The Galaxy is big, with 3B habitable worlds, each having up to hundreds of millions if not billions of inhabitants each. The Jedi, at their peak and fall, were around 10,000. Many never heard of the Jedi, even less seen one. Find a remote village somewhere, and ask them if they remember the Atari.

The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Plot hole: Nick Nolte's little guy is supposedly terribly helpful towards Mando, showing him "the only way" to reach the enemy encampment, which is by riding the weird fishy beast, but when Mando surveys the target and the robot reveals itself, you can see that there are only shallow hills around the base, a large clear path of land, nobody even is on lookout...and most importantly, in the following episode, Mando makes it back on foot anyway, no blurrgs - and evidently the baddies had no vehicles, making them even less of a threat to begin with. And for being so helpful and good natured, he did not tell him to park the ship by/at his place nor warned him about the Jawas.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Appraiser puts the condemned tape across Dorothy's wrecked porch. The tape from the bottom right to the upper left is the one in the front of the other diagonal line, but then it's the other way around. (00:07:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the semi-POV of the security cart that takes a hard turn through the crowd, the off-balance guard is clinging to his colleague's shoulder, but he was nowhere near to reach him in the other shots. (01:30:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Louise's husband is in the car with his nurse. She rubs his earlobe with her fingers; when he asks her about the wet towel and adds "I think I'd like that." her thumb is in front of the ear, but when she replies "I know you would" it's behind it. (01:03:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Elaine and the policeman are talking at her place. He proposes to go to the bedroom and she says "I don't think so." He then asks why not, and puts his hand in front of his forehead. The hand position changes at the cut. (00:59:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The girls are stopped by the cop as they get out of the back door. Jane says "Maybe we all better give it a try."; in the background, Louise's right hand is all the way down. Next shot ("Why don't we tell the truth?") and it's up all the way to the shoulder. (00:55:00)

Sammo

Audio problem: When the three (plus Jane's kids in the back of the car) are approaching Robert's store to rob it, in the last shot as they pull over nobody's lips move, the lines are dubbed over. (00:52:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the failed robbery with the water gun, the friends try one more caper. Elaine knocks down a stack of paddles; a few are left standing against the ticket booth, but the moment there's a cut, a single paddle is still up. (00:50:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Louise says "I'll be in charge of phase 1", and her hands is on her own chest as she plays with the brooch; suddenly at the cut the same hand is on her arm. (00:39:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Elaine phoned her friends to meet her in front of the money ball. When we see Jane approach, she has a rather quizzical look. She walks past a bench with two older people on it, and comes across two women; one has long black hair and wears brown pants, the other shorter blonde hair and has lighter brown pants with some sort of long beige sweater tied to her waist that goes past her knees. The exact same duo that walked past her in the opposite direction is in front of her in the mall square a couple of shots later. (00:36:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Elaine is out of gas and tries to make a phone call at the mall. When she hangs up, the phone cord is positioned above or under the microphone in different shots without her touching it. (00:35:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jane is talking to her dad who was just thrown out by her mum going through a lesbian phase. Look at him when he says "Hall closet, top shelf! Aye, aye, captain." His duffel back is floppy, and it rests already tighter to his body at the cut. (00:32:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In bed with Albert, Louise tells him she's gonna lose the store. She is holding the issue of Time magazine in different positions and distance between shots. For instance, at the first cut the magazine is suddenly resting on her chest, and the tip of her hair is above or below the magazine between shots. (00:23:25)

Sammo

Factual error: It is established early in the movie (Natalie's call) that the money ball event celebration is part of the -first - anniversary of the Valley River Center, the shopping mall where most of the movie is set, with the town of Eugene, Oregon, mentioned explicitly. However, the center opened in 1969, and the movie is set in 1980. The original script was written in 1971, so that line needed an update and slipped by.
