XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: After infiltrating the Rammstein concert using his sonic screwdriver, the secret agent is moshing his way through the rabid crowd. In the initial phase of the chase, shortly after Yorgi says "Zaraza" you can see that the band members are not wearing their mouth flamethrowers yet, or they already are, with no continuity.

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: The person assaulted by the James Bond clone at the beginning of the movie is walking across the square; he casts shadows in directions not coherent from shot to shot. (00:00:50)

XXX (2002)

Continuity mistake: Xander Cage whips out the grenades and tosses them behind him to do a Mulan and create an avalanche. He does not zip his jacket back up, but it is during the rest of his slide. (01:29:35)

XXX (2002)

Factual error: The weapon Xander fires in the basement to kill the sniper with the might of his irony does not make sense (as noted before, it is non-existent and its prop is a modified camcorder). First of all, he is firing it with his back to the wall, and the deflected backblast alone would fry Vin Diesel's arse. Second; it fires a heat-seeking rocket that targets a single lit cigarette completely outside of Xander's range, to the point that the projectile does almost a U turn (way more than 90°); if it just goes for any smallest object wildly off the supposed target range (Vin Diesel is looking at a screen when he points it), then it could end up targeting the launcher itself, heated up by just having fired, or weapons or shells just fired by allies, making it useless in combat. Third; the screen Vin Diesel is looking at...is switched off. (01:38:40)

XXX (2002)

Plot hole: Via his bondesque band-aids, Vin Diesel disposes of all the bad guys' vehicles - except the one next to the boss and Yelena (very conveniently or he would have killed his main villain and his girlfriend). He races super-fast to his hideout with his super-fast bike, he is in SUCH a rush that he does not even park the bike but just jumps off it and lets it crash into a dumpster. In his room he has a 45 second conversation with Sova. Somehow Asia Argento in less than a minute not only caught up with him, who had already a huge head start and she was never seen even beginning any pursuit, but she also contacted 'the Ivans', from a separate organization, shows up with them and she was there early enough to even infer that XXX was in trouble, so she must have been even quicker than that to eavesdrop.

XXX (2002)

Plot hole: You are locked in a room. On one end of the room, a thick vault door of solid steel. On the other end, a security glass double door with your evil boss cackling maniacally, the remote for the deadly chemical bomb in his hand. You have automatic weapons at your disposal. Which door are you gonna shoot in your desperate attempt to save your skin? Apparently, ALL the literal rocket scientists in this movie decided that shooting at some inches of stainless steel is a better option than trying and dent a couple mm of plexiglass, which would have stopped their traitorous employer from releasing the gas or killed him too. No human being would be this stupid. (01:15:15)

MILF (2018)

Continuity mistake: The three besties are in the car at the beginning of the movie, chatting. During the chat, the scenery keeps changing between shots without much consistency. (00:00:50)

La Rafle (2010)

Continuity mistake: The little Nono is singing the nursery rhyme in front of the cafè. One of the nazis tosses him a coin, while the other puts the cigarette down, but at the cut he's already taking a puff.

Sammo

Other mistake: The opening credits misspell the name of production supervisor Peter Sczygiol ('Sceygiol') and firearms technician Gino Vagniluca ('Vigniluca').

West of the Pecos (1945)

Continuity mistake: Rill Lambeth asks her French maid to cut her hair, but she refuses. Rill takes then the matter in her own hands, aided also by a towel that magically appeared between shots. (00:14:30)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: During the brawl in the 'saloon', the protagonist frees himself from the predicament that had him with a knife pointed at his throat. Cut to one of his friends who punches away one baddie, parries a strike and then "punches" someone else. Sarcastic quotes are needed here, because the straight punch misses its target. (00:44:35)

Voodoo Passion (1977)

Voodoo Passion mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Inès the Housekeeper is on the boardwalk looking at the ship and the various passengers that disembark. She waves at Mrs. Susan House when she sees her, and walks up to her, meeting there amongst the passengers who just got off the ship...the same dudes (a man with a striped T-shirt, a guy with an open shirt with white pants, one denim-clad guy with a bag) who were lazing around not too far from her when she was on the promenade. (00:04:30)

Mulan: Rise of a Warrior mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Mulan tricks her father into taking his medicine, and everyone has a laugh at him. Between shots she is pouring from the teapot first with the right, then the left, and one of the geezers sitting by is cackling with a different posture and hands switched as well. (00:05:10)

Princess Maker 5

Princess Maker 5 mistake picture

Other mistake: During character creation, Cube explains the meaning of the various jobs; the second choice available in the menu is Business-man (sic), but Cube in the tutorial refers to it as "Executive."

Plebby Quest: The Crusades mistake picture

Other mistake: In the research tree, one of the monastery upgrades is called "More Books to Catalouge", instead of "Catalogue", and the description says "As the books stacks higher" instead of "stack"

Sammo

Other mistake: The title of the game is "City of Broken Dreamers", but when you start the app, the title bar on the GUI says "The City of Broken Dreamers."

Crusader Kings III

Bug: Whenever an ally calls you to war, it's still possible to click on their profile instead and so very magnanimously offer to join their war as if it were your own idea and proposal, getting in the process a greater relationship bonus with free Friendship bond.

Sammo

Visible crew/equipment: During Gibbons' funeral, when the camera pans up to eventually catch Vin Diesel sitting in the gallery, a few extras (such as the woman two rows behind the one with the flaming red hair) look up following the movement of the crane. (01:36:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the gang bids a silent farewell to Xander, look at Nicks in his close-up; in the background, Tennyson Torch is turning around towards his right, but in his own close-up, Tennyson turns towards his left, and Becky is close to him while she was nowhere in sight before. (01:33:10)

Revealing mistake: When Ice Cube shoots the grenade at the car, the explosion comes from inside the car, but the car itself is raised in the air before the explosion happens. (01:28:05)
