Other mistake: Aladdin slices off one head of the monster in the tomb. The body spurts copious amounts of blood and the severed head even bounces on him repeatedly, but Aladdin's shirt is immaculate afterwards. (00:04:40)

Aladdin and the Death Lamp (2012)
Continuity mistake: In the first WW2 flashback the protagonist is handing the various items to the Nazi doorman. When he puts down the pen, he is doing it with a left hand in the table close-up, but he picked it with his right, as the left arm is busy holding the coat. (00:02:05)

Falling Inn Love (2019)
Continuity mistake: Gabriela's luggage crashes down the slope into the vehicle of the beefy co-protagonist. During the scene, the bra on the pickup's hood is positioned in an obvious different way (also coming lower onto the fender's arc) between shots. (00:13:00)

All Roads Lead to Rome (2015)
Factual error: Summer and Carmen are at the saloon and catch on the local news the report of the kidnapping. The scene is set in Tuscany, Italy, but the news anchor is Spanish actress Paz Vega, speaking with an obvious accent and mispronouncing words. To make the whole situation even more absurd, she is supposed to portray a native Italian speaker, "Giulia Carni": the last name is Italian sounding but nonexistent in reality, and the headline used for the news report, "Nonna-napper", "kidnapper of grandmother" has such an awkward and unnatural sound and feel in Italian and for an Italian audience, that nobody ever would use it.

6th Sep 2019
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Continuity mistake: When the police catches the pickpocketer at the beginning, they literally lift him off the ground. There is a close-up shot in between, and the lack of continuity is apparent in the hand position of the man. Not just that: vehicles obviously disappear and appear in every cut.
6th Sep 2019
Virtual Weapon (1997)
Continuity mistake: In the sequence with Terence Hill and Marvin Hagler giving chase to the bad guys, when the baddies break the guard-rail and supposedly drop one level, the lights of the chasing car are still fully visible through the back window before the good guys take the same dive from the highway ramp.
6th Sep 2019
Five Kung Fu Daredevil Heroes (1977)

5th Sep 2019

5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Factual error: When Mr. Butler takes the hashish-laced cake, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) " is playing, composed in 1931, later than the 1928 setting.
5th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Audio problem: In an empty golf course, at such a close distance as shown, there's no way Miss Plenderlieth would not hear Hastings calling Poirot, who "lost another ball." (00:41:20)
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When cousin Guy tells Miss Fisher "You like your meat tender too", Isabella is sipping from the drink she lowered in the previous shot. (00:32:00)
