Factual error: When Bronson is walking into the city through the railroad deposit, he walks by unused wagons branded Missouri Pacific Lines. The wagon bears the slogan "Route of the Eagles" which was coined and standardized on wagons only in the late 40s. The movie is set in the depression years. (00:02:45)

Hard Times (1975)
Other mistake: Bronson arrives in town hitching a ride in a boxcar. He hops off and begins walking along a different track. In the next shot, you can see in the background the same freight train he left, already moving in the opposite direction. (00:02:10)

Hard Times (1975)
Continuity mistake: Look at Charles Bronson's sideburns in his close-ups on the moving train at the beginning of the beginning of the movie. The hair grows longer when it gets closer to the hat and to the top of his ear. When he hops off the train, his hair appears to have a much closer shave, evened well above the ear. (00:01:35)

Hard Times (1975)
Factual error: The movie is set during the Great Depression, in 1933, but Charles Bronson gets in town aboard of a freight train pulled by an EMD NW5 diesel locomotor, introduced over a decade later. (00:01:15)

Cyrano (2021)
Factual error: The morning after the ambush, Cyrano meets with the baker asking for a private spot. Ragueneau is an amateur poet, and he reads his composition. When Cyrano asks for a place more private than the oven surrounded by men, the baker recites "Jupiter and Pluto are planets, revolving like us, far apart." The story is set in the 1600s, and Pluto hadn't yet been identified as a planet nor sighted, let alone named. It happened in 1930. (00:28:40)

Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: Before Scenario 12: The Dispeller of Chaos, the dialogue featuring Ruri has a couple of repetitions who are not part of her character and never appear again in the rest of the game; talking to Misumu, she says "What would that would be", and to the Aesti pilots she says "But first there's someone I want to to [...] first."

Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Continuity mistake: An Hispanic gang approaches David as he is about to have a smoke. He raises his lighter, the head honcho of the gang picks his cigarette, and David raises again the hand he already raised. (00:32:50)
30th Jul 2022
Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Revealing mistake: The sequence when Wino Henry gets hit by the tail of the gator and thrown against the wall is all sorts of wrong; in the first part of it, the victim is just standing there in the silliest way and in fact professional bum actor Carmen Filpi 'corpses' waiting for the special effect to happen. In the second part, he's replaced by a poorly disguised stuntman. (00:29:20)

Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Continuity mistake: When Smirnoff brutalizes Tanaka's nose, he does it without holding him at first, but he has him in a headlock in the next shot. Even more obvious discontinuity after Hodges' bathroom antics, when Smirnoff has his opponent in a sleeper hold (so he's behind him) but instantly in the next shot he is in front of him and bites his face (all of this with the announcer Count Billy Varga talking continuously). (00:24:20 - 00:24:55)

Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Continuity mistake: David drops by to the club where the uber-rich baddie is relaxing, and turns out his ideal pastime is dining ringside while hairy wrestlers bodyslam each other on his table. In one of the opening shots he and his associates grab their glasses from the table, but in the wider shot when Professor Tanaka picks up Alexi Smirnoff, their glasses are still on the table, and back in their hands later. (00:20:15)

Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Continuity mistake: David is taking a walk after the exposition scene with his coroner friend and his wife. An Hispanic woman is talking with a douchy realtor; she has her hands and forearms on the table, they are gone from the table at the cut. (00:14:00)

The Nice Guys (2016)
Continuity mistake: Russell Crowe is dunked head and torso in a pool, immediately gives chase to Blueface, but he's basically dry when reaches Holly. Later in the movie it's even worse, since Ryan Gosling has a near-death experience falling in a pool, but he runs as normal, only slightly moist in the hair (and even pulls out a cigarette and lights it later by the time the cops arrive).

Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: One of the most commonly used line from Gamilla's battleship officers is "Terrons are possessed for fearsome battle tactics", when they obviously mean "Terrons possess fearsome battle tactics."
30th Jul 2022
Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: The profile of Yuki Mori from Star Blazers 2199 mistakenly refers to her as "He is 19 years old", probably because the beginning of the profiles of the Yamato are all almost identical and 'copy and paste' was used. The correct pronoun "she" is used for the rest of the bio.
30th Jul 2022
Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Continuity mistake: On the helicopter at the end, both survivors grab headsets; David when the camera is on the left has a very noticeable wet curl in the middle of the forehead he doesn't have in the shots from the right. (01:21:20)
30th Jul 2022
Alligator II: The Mutation (1991)
Continuity mistake: When Harmon with a bloody nose suggests that there's gotta be some army ordinance stuff they can use, Sheri next to him has hair all over the left shoulder. It's gone in the wider shot. (00:51:50)
30th Jul 2022
The Nice Guys (2016)
Continuity mistake: John Boy draws the knife and makes his generous 'offer'. Cuts back to the Nice Guys who are driving fast; the Mercedes, as dirty as it is, is still perfectly intact with both sets of headlights working and the hood ornament. The front section was damaged when March fell asleep at the wheel earlier, and the car is again damaged when they pull over in the driveway. (01:24:10)
30th Jul 2022
The Nice Guys (2016)
Continuity mistake: Jessica is on the phone and asks the person on the line "Richard something? Yeah." Holly in the background just puts her hand one one of the nearest cards, but at the cut she's moving her hand back from the top of one of her solitaire lines. (01:22:00)
30th Jul 2022
The Nice Guys (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Russell Crowe says in front of the hotel "She's meeting somebody", the steering wheel is turned in a different way than you see later as he turns the wheel straight. (01:07:40)
30th Jul 2022
The Nice Guys (2016)
Revealing mistake: Jackson is fighting with the older guy at the party. In their struggle, the gun fires once. Ryan Gosling turns around at the appropriate time, but half the extras react to the supposed noise a second late, some don't even do that. (00:48:00)
