Factual error: During the wedding scene and in other rare moments Lady Gaga and Adam Driver speak actual Italian (let's not get into the logic of the fact that they speak throughout the whole movie with 'English with Italian accent' in Italy, especially when it is pure pantomime like Leto's), but they are not native speakers, their pronunciation is off. Al Pacino does worse when in the next scene he greets the housemaid Claudia with "Buonasera" (good evening) which the captions (and the rest of the dialogue, since he repeats the line in Englishalian too) translate as "Good Morning."

House of Gucci (2021)
Revealing mistake: When Maurizio has a water fight with one of the truck drivers, above the logo of the fictitious company "Corriere F. Reggiani" on the window of the truck you can see the logo of "F.lli Zucchetto", (Zucchetto Brothers) the real company owning the truck, who organizes real life gatherings of vintage truck owners.

House of Gucci (2021)
Continuity mistake: Patrizia is having lunch with her future father-in-law at the historic Terrazza Gallia restaurant in Milan. She jumps nervously when he first addresses her; during this transition, the waiter who just tilted the bottle up is still pouring with the bottle tilted down in the second shot, and a waiter that was taking care of the table behind Lady Gaga disappears. (00:15:15)
12th Mar 2022
House of Gucci (2021)
Factual error: Adam Driver and Lady Gaga are eating some street food in Piazza del Duomo in Milan after trying the expensive and historic Savini restaurant. The scene begins with in frame the sign of the jewelry store Currado, a brand established in the 90s and that opened that particular store in 2007. (00:12:00)

House of Gucci (2021)
Factual error: Lady Gaga is painting her toenails listening to some music on her portable cassette player. It's 1978, and walkman-type players were introduced the year after. (00:11:00)
12th Mar 2022
House of Gucci (2021)
Factual error: When Patrizia is stalking Maurizio pretending to read some law book from the university, she's leaning against a shelf that sports a grey book by the title "Formazione; I metodi." On the book, you can see the logo of the publisher, Raffaello Cortina Editore, founded in 1980. The scene is set in 1978 (the book is from 2014, incidentally, and the scene was shot at the Cortina bookstore). Another even more obviously anachronistic book is next to Maurizio on the lower shelf; about the regulations of the European Union, which didn't exist at the time. (00:08:25)

Death on the Nile (2022)
Continuity mistake: The confetti in Linnet and Simon's hair changes position before and after Jackie makes her entrance at the wedding party. (00:25:55)

Death on the Nile (2022)
Factual error: The movie takes place in 1937: the new and improved Salome Otterbourne of this version has a repertoire of blues songs that are a few years posterior to that date, many years if we count the Rosetta Tharpe versions actually used in the movie. An argument can be made that they are all 'live performances' from a fictional character regardless of the vocalist who actually performed, and so the only song truly 'impossible' in 1937 would be "Shout sister shout", written in 1941, but we don't actually see Salome sing it. She does perform "Up Above My Head" and no recorded version of it exist before 1941, but it comes from a traditional gospel song.

Death on the Nile (2022)
Continuity mistake: In the transition when Bouc tells his mom that Poirot is his "friend, and he's famous", Euphemia is holding her easel and brush differently between shots. (00:19:15)

Death on the Nile (2022)
Plot hole: This adaptation further exacerbates the problem of previous movie and TV versions; in the novel, Jackie would make the female designated witness talk over and over pretending also to get drunk after Linnet left to go to bed. In the Ustinov version it happened too, but the diversion didn't seem to last more than a couple minutes. Same in the Suchet version. Here, Simon even provokes Jackie practically the moment his wife exits the room. There's no time whatsoever for her to change and get in bed, let alone fall asleep.

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After talking to Alexis at the end of the episode, Castle closes his laptop and puts it on the desk. He looks for the picture frame, and in the background you can see in two shots that the laptop is open. Wider angle, it's closed again. (00:40:15)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Castle and Beckett are walking with Mr. Peterson asking him about the possible affair. He says that she was making "Us" dinner; there's a woman in the background, grey coat and a scarf. The scarf changes position at the cut when they call him out on the pronoun. (00:20:25)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Interviewing Chloe, the protagonists tell her that Sara's ex thought she had a new guy. Look at the cyclist in the background (that already made an appearance earlier); he reappears in the next shot as she goes "Uhm...", and he moved backwards. (00:18:15)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Castle makes the joke about Kate being both controlling and disapproving, his elbow is on the right, then on the left of the railing bar. (00:16:50)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: In the very first close-up of the body at the morgue, the 'body' blinks. (00:11:15)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Castle is on a break at home. Alexis asks him "Who got killed today?" He's putting the cap on a spice dispenser, empty. When she follows with "Do they know who did it?" the dispenser refilled. He then puts it down, but it's back in his hands at the cut. (00:09:10)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Stupidity: Mrs. Peterson tells the cops in the first interview that the phone went 'straight to voicemail', which would happen if the phone was off, and it's not the case. There's no reason why she'd lie about this particular fact. Which ties into the larger problem that the cops are looking for the missing phone but nobody tried to call it nor the phone company told them it was still on, or the plot wouldn't work.

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Factual error: The establishing shot of the building where the murder takes place features on the foyer quite prominently "715 - The Langham." The story takes place in New York, but The Langham (named after the famous British hotel) is the name of a residential building in 715 S Normandie Avenue in Koreatown, Los Angeles, used in this episode. There is a hotel by that name in New York, not an apartment building, on 5th Avenue. (00:01:00)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Beckett takes the call at the beginning of the episode, her fingers change position on the phone between shots. (00:00:50)

Castle (2009)
Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At the precinct checking Tisdale's alibi for the passport stamps, Castle asks why can't she just admit he was right. Ryan next to her is holding the receiver in a different way (look at the index finger) at the cut. (00:34:10)
