Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie, a local errand guy delivers a box to Poirot from a gondola. The actor is supposed to be speaking Italian in his first phrase, but he says "Segnor Poirot, lo pesce!" (Mr. Poirot, your fish!), totally off in accent and grammar, obviously from an English-speaking actor poorly faking an Italian accent. Moreover, the box does not contain fish, but turns out a few minutes later to be a box of chocolates. In fact, the Italian version redubs this line entirely and the guy says the equivalent of "Mr. Poirot, your sweets" in a Venetian accent ("Sior Poirot, I suoi dolcetti!").

Secret Invasion (2023)
Plot hole: The Skrull base is inside an abandoned nuclear power plant with enough radioactivity to force any human (like, say, Nick Fury) to constantly pop iodine pills to fight the symptoms of a poisoning that would kill them in less than half an hour. Despite that, Skrulls also detain prisoners, for years in some cases, in rudimentary shackles without any sort of shield or protection against the radiation.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Iodine pills don't fight the symptoms of radiation poisoning; they prevent the body from absorbing radioactive iodine. It does not protect from exposure to radiation; it won't save you from it. Secondly, it's all an act by Gi'Ah posing as Fury anyway. Thirdly, they are in the reactor control room where Gravik says the radiation is higher. The prisoners are in a low radiation room, which could be extra shielded from radiation. It could also be that the prisoners are fed iodine to block radioactive iodine.
We can make up if we want that there's a special, super-secret anti-radiation serum and/or super-effective shielding, helping humans even during an exposure that lasts years (a decade in the case of Rhodey!), but there has to be something in the actual visuals that remotely hints at it. It's hard to headcanon that the dingy area of the plant where they are racked together, strapped to bed nets behind tarps, can be "low radiation", or that they are given anything to counter it. In particular, in the ending, the rescued people leisurely walk around the plant with zero radiation protection, even casually in the open yard where "Fury's" Geiger counter was going mad earlier. And the radiation was not something induced by the Skrulls that just ended when the baddie died. Not only is there no techno-babble justification (one could argue it's simply a pedantic detail not unlike the lack of hair growth or muscle atrophy), there's a direct flagrant contradiction in how the environment of the location - which is the only reason why they picked that site as a base - is deadly to humans only to a dramatic degree only when it's convenient.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Continuity mistake: At the farewell celebration for Indy's retirement, the dean calls for the gift to be presented to him, mentioning it is "a token of our gratitude." There's a cut in the middle of the sentence, and Prof. Plimpton is waving a young student in with his left hand, then the right hand.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Stupidity: Despite being wanted by the law, quite possibly the most wanted man in the US for multiple murders, disrupting the most historic parade of the century, and with CIA agents on his tracks, Indy just gets on the commercial flight to Morocco the same evening without the slightest problem.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Other mistake: In Tangiers, Indy's cab pulls over in front of the mob-owned hotel where the famous illegal auction is taking place. It's dark outside, but when we see Indy in the hotel, and more evidently when they get out of the hotel and the car chase starts in the span of 5 minutes, it's broad daylight. That also means that just before 6 AM (when dawn would take place in August), the hotel is chock full of normal people boozing, playing cards, plus an assembly of rich baddies from all over the world who just happen to wait to have an auction.

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
Doctor: No evidence of any abnormality in the brain, no tumor, you have a strong heart, your diet is better than average. You are under severe stress, of course, but otherwise doctor Bowen, the psychiatrist you saw, says there's nothing out of the ordinary...aside from your exceptional extrasensory perception and your preoccupation with Japanese culture. No harm in that! (00:41:10)

Meet Cute (2022)
Continuity mistake: During their first encounter (the first we see in the movie, at least), Sheila sits next to Gary, and they both order Old Fashioned. Phil the Bartender makes a comment on that, and she shoos him off. Look at Kaley Cuoco 's bag; one of the straps keeps going on/off the top of the bag between shots. (00:03:30)

Inspector Ike (2020)
Factual error: The movie is set in the 80s (you can see tell for instance by the driving license of the old woman, which uses the 80s template and has a 1985 date), but the police plays the suicide tape on a Panasonic PV-4614, which is a late 90s model of VHR. Same goes for the Sony video camera used to tape the murder, definitely from the 90s. (00:19:00)

The Last of Sheila (1973)
Character mistake: After Clinton's phone call, Christine talks with her assistant and making fun of the "mourning", she says "We went directly to Streisand's opening at the Sands right from the cemetery." However, in Vegas Barbra Streisand never performed at the Sands; she did the International (then Hilton) and the Riviera. (00:05:15)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
Continuity mistake: When Helen enters by mistake Derol's room, there's no smoke visible; she leaves, and in a tighter shot on him a blunt leaves a very conspicuous trail of smoke. (01:41:00)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
Continuity mistake: When Lionel says "Why the hell not?" at the unspoken understanding of starting to shatter statuettes, Claire next to him is standing clawing at her own fingers, while in the background a moment earlier her hands were higher and distant. (02:02:30)
