Saturday Night (2024)

New this monthFactual error: George Carlin is played in the movie by Matthew Rhys. They went as far as to recreate with him, on a prop, the cover of "An Evening With Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo", the album that Carlin pitched at the end of the original episode and that Rhys brings on stage in this movie at dress rehearsal. However, in this cover, Rhys is looking to his upper left, Carlin looked to the upper right. With such attention to detail, it's easy to imagine it could be deliberate. (00:43:00)

Saturday Night (2024)

New this monthContinuity mistake: When a frustrated Lorne Michaels starts tearing apart the overcrowded board with too many sketches, in the first shot he claws out the lower half of the leftmost column, below "Commercial #1." In the next shot, though, the board is still fully stocked with post-it notes, and he tears them down in a different order. (01:13:30)

Saturday Night (2024)

New this monthContinuity mistake: After the scene with the elevator bringing up the bricks, Garrett Morris and Jane Curtin are having a chat, smoking together. Garrett asks, "You wonder exactly what it is you are doing here?" As he asks that, Kim Matula is leaning her head against her hand. The shot changes and it is dangling off the railing. (00:40:00)

Immaculate (2024)

New this monthTrivia: This movie is based on Cecilia arriving in Italy not knowing Italian, save for the most rudimentary greetings. The Italian dub, however, changes that. They make up that her mother was Italian and she grew up speaking the language with complete fluency. That creates a lot of nonsensical moments; people insult others to their face without the language barrier present in the original or repeat what another person just said (they were translating in the original). The whole ceremony was redubbed from being in Italian to being in Latin (explaining why she can't understand it). Also, the prioress randomly speaks French to Cecilia sometimes, claiming the convent was founded by a French nun and she likes the language.

Immaculate (2024)

New this monthContinuity mistake: When Dr. Gallo is doing an echo on the pregnant Cecilia after she was assaulted in the baths, the cord of the probe is on either side of his hand depending on the shot. (00:40:20)

Immaculate (2024)

New this monthContinuity mistake: Sister Cecilia is lying on the medical bed as the pregnancy is discovered. Father Sal Tedeschi whispers, "He believes you," as the cardinal says that it's a miracle. Álvaro Morte's hand is touching Sydney Sweeney's veil. She does not move her head in the reverse angle, but when we get back to the previous, the hand of the padre is far more distant. (00:35:50)

New this monthContinuity mistake: Antonio visited his ex at his new educational centre. He confesses his hopes to his female friend, who tells him it's a bad idea. During this scene, Michela Giraud's hands change position noticeably between shots, sometimes during mid-sentence cuts. (00:24:00)

Invasion U.S.A. (1985)

New this monthContinuity mistake: Matt and John Eagle put the alligator in the cage in Chuck Norris' first scene. Both of them are significantly more covered in mud for their close-up that ends the scene, once they have already closed the cage and are taking a breather, compared to the rest of it. (00:09:25)

New this monthRevealing mistake: When the motorbike randomly explodes after Terri and Dave get out of the car, it is obvious that the explosion does not come from the bike, but from the shrub behind it, which also happened to creep up closer between shots. (00:07:30)

New this monthRevealing mistake: Throughout the movie (for instance, at its first appearance when it drives towards the camera, or when it drives off), Sonny Chiba's vehicle (or rather, its shell) is made of cardboard; the front creases, the fins wobble.

Goliath (2023)

New this monthFactual error: Professor Alessando steals the keys from the ward. One key is under a copy of the Italian magazine "L'Eternauta." However, it is issue #103, released in November 1991. The movie is set one year earlier, at the end of 1990.

New this monthContinuity mistake: Paige meets the three babes poolside. When she says, "Hi, I'm Saraya," Jeri-Lynn was fixing her hair in the previous shot, but now her arm is down at her side. (00:37:30)

The Mod Squad (1999)

Lupin III vs. Detective Conan mistake picture

New this monthOther mistake: When Lupin brings the princess back to the palace by car after meeting Conan at the cherry tree, he drives by a street sign that says "St. SANTIHUU34" and one that says "idajfojafas;" Even if Vespania is a fictional country, it does not seem to have a fictional language, and we can say with sufficient certainty that semicolons do not belong in city or street names. (01:15:05)

New this monthStupidity: The movie takes creative liberties with the real story; it's understandable, for instance, that it would show Paige being directly on NXT rather than part of the Florida Championship Wrestling promotion first, and that she is the only real character from NXT depicted in the movie. However, the movie chooses also to omit the fact that Paige was NXT Champion when she faced AJ Lee. Not just that, but it alters entirely the dynamic of the actual match; she does not manage to utter a single word because of stage fright, something that movie-wise she seems to have never managed to overcome. Given the changes, the movie asks us to believe that WWE would make a champion out of a complete rookie who is a deer in the headlights in front of a crowd that ignores her and hasn't found her personality yet - she does so only after she wins. That doesn't make a lot of sense even by the movie's own logic.
