Stupidity: The protagonist with her kid stops a car with two guys, in the middle of the night in an isolated country road. Both the adult and the kid scream that a dangerous maniac is chasing them. So naturally, the two guys (who do believe them, it's not that they are being dismissive) offer them some hot coffee, and they drink it right there in the middle of the street, not dialling for help, getting in the car to drive away or anything, because that's what normal people do when you tell them a serial killer is nearby; stop for a hot cuppa.

Dark Glasses (2022)
Continuity mistake: The morning after the confrontation with the killer, there's a big red bag next to Diana's chair in the long shots, which vanishes in the closer angle, only to reappear in a later shot. (01:18:15)

Dark Glasses (2022)
Revealing mistake: Running away from the killer, Diana and Chin randomly get attacked by snakes, because why not. You can see in close-ups of Ilenia Pastorelli's face when she screams that there is no trace of the snake wrapped around the neck of the body double in other angles. (01:01:20)

Dark Glasses (2022)
Stupidity: Diana and Rita call each other on the phone when the killer is approaching, but neither calls the police. Rita might have been pressed for time because the killer's van was chasing her car (even if she'd had time, looking at the scene), but Diana definitely could have spared a few seconds after Rita hanged up, the killer was literally miles away.

Dark Glasses (2022)
Revealing mistake: Diana is blind and not accustomed yet to her condition; multiple times throughout the movie if she bumps into something she staggers or drops what she is holding - for instance she drops the shopping bags when she bumps into the post meeting Chin. And yet when she is escaping from the police at Chin's house, she bumps into a drying rack and does not even flinch - in fact if you look closely you can see that the actress moved her hand on purpose to hit it cleanly at the proper angle that would make it fold.

Dark Glasses (2022)
Continuity mistake: Ispettrice Bajani is knocked down by the killer comically opening the car door in her face. She falls back, but in close-up she is face down on the asphalt and the gun is on the opposite side from the one you'd expect given the right-handed grip and the way the door opened. When they show the crime scene, her body is also suddenly close to her coworker's; technically we saw just her death and not what the killer could have done before leaving (we know he got her phone), but realistically there's no plausible explanation why he'd drag her several feet away and the eyewitness says nothing about the killer doing post-murder Feng Shui antics. (00:44:00)

Dark Glasses (2022)
Continuity mistake: Ispettrice Bajani is on the phone when she shouts her colleague's name in close-up, but in the wider angles before and after her arms are held low. (00:43:00)
6th Jan 2023
Dark Glasses (2022)
Continuity mistake: Diana is holding the calling card from Ispettrice Bajani in her left hand and her cane in the right hand when she gets the denim jacket. The close-up shows her right hand, with no cane, tucking the card in the jacket pocket. (00:39:30)

Dark Glasses (2022)
Audio problem: In the original version, it's crystal clear that the last sentence from inspector Gemma Bajani after she hands her calling card (when she says that they'll be back with a search warrant) was added in post, lacking ambience and even mixed at a different level than the rest of the dialogue. (00:39:10)

Dark Glasses (2022)
Stupidity: The doctor speaks to Diana in the hospital room. The scene is played like Diana just woke up and just discovered about her status, which they discuss with the medical explanation for it. She reaches out with her arms feeling up blindly (literally, of course). The first thing she does as the doctor leaves, is to put the titular black sunglasses on. She shouldn't even know they are there - and why should they be, after all. (00:18:15)
6th Jan 2023
Dark Glasses (2022)
Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Diana kicking her client in the nads, the background shows the footboard of the bed behind them, but they are at the side of the bed, close to the bedstand, a moment before and after. (00:14:30)

Being a DIK
Other mistake: When you are free to roam the sorority house, the texture used to represent the window in the kitchen is completely pixelated and out of perspective, in contrast with the average of the game that has overall fairly convincing representations.

Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: The screen showing the cemetery inside Arzenal is full of tombs with utter gibberish names (like Tsliap Stliow, who died in GXVI, apparently, whatever year G is) - Some of this creative engraving does not even fall in the proper physical boundaries of the stone. And it's also labeled "CemetAry."

Mission: Impossible (1988)
Plot hole: The mysterious neurosurgeon Dr. Quinn was mentioned by the fake Myles Taggart under the pretence that his presence was announced by the local newspaper. It turns out that his invitation by the university was a lie - presumably no newspaper story existed at all then, or the university would have acted on that. Taggart is exposed as a fraud, Quinn's link to him is so direct that he was even the one who invited him (instead of goading the Colonel into inviting him like it was his own idea) and yet the Colonel continues to trust Quinn blindly - he even has the whole night and day to think about this simple fact, nothing was decided on the spur of the moment.

Mission: Impossible (1988)
The System - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Casey is having a chit-chat with the villain/stooge of the episode, playing dumb and pretending to have a ridiculous 'system'. As she says that whenever she loses she doubles the bet "three times in a row", her hair goes from behind the shoulder to the front of the shoulder. (00:16:05)

Ride Lonesome (1959)
Continuity mistake: The last night before the supposed arrival to Santa Cruz, Boone approaches Mrs. Lane. The moonlight (actually a rather obvious day-by-night) shines on her fully, but as the camera switches to a close-up, suddenly there are all sorts of shadows of foliage over her blouse. (00:57:20)

Ride Lonesome (1959)
Continuity mistake: When Ben reiterates "We're going to Dry Fork", Randolph Scott's hands are joined on the reins. Shot from behind, you can see by the arm position that they are apart. (00:20:45)

Ride Lonesome (1959)
Continuity mistake: During the initial standoff between Ben Brigade and Billy John, the natural light varies in the different camera angle - just look at the way the sun shines on Randolph Scott's jacket.

Hard Times (1975)
Factual error: As the protagonists say goodbye at the end of the movie, Speed pulls over in a railroad deposit. The wagon he stops by shows an odd graffiti. Upon further inspection, you can tell that it's actually an attempt to conceal the giant logo (the so called "split rail" logo) of the Illinois Central Railroad, a logo used by the company between 1966 and 1972, way after the period the movie is set, in the 30s, when the logo would have been the green and yellow diamond one.
