El joven simulador - S1-E5

Factual error: During the maths exam, Dr. Mariani instructs Lamponne to write two division signs together and then to write 1 divided by 0, two things that are impossible in secondary school maths. (00:41:02)

Geri's Game (1997)

Geri's Game mistake picture

Continuity mistake: On his third move, the 'good' Geri moves his king's bishop to the third rank (one rank ahead of B2's pawn). After the 'evil' Geri captures the knight on h3, the white king's bishop is now on the second rank. Two shots later, the bishop is now on the first rank. (00:01:54)

Geri's Game (1997)

Geri's Game mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: During the game, you can see a hand that supposedly belongs to the 'evil' Geri and the 'good' Geri in the background, even though there is only one Geri in reality. This also happens with the laughs of 'evil' Geri. (00:02:24)

Big Game

Plot hole: When Holmes starts the human chess game, he says, 'Who had entered the lists, the king's pale knight.' This refers to moving the white knight of the king's side. However, the ritual does not mention to which square it should move. Still having three possible squares to move to (since the knight is on its initial square and the game has already started), Holmes knows and indicates that the knight (Dr. Sexton) must move to square F3.

Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror mistake picture

Continuity mistake: As Holmes is talking about the derailment, the distance between him and Captain Shaw changes between shots, just before Shaw says "Very well figured out, Holmes." Also, after Holmes sits down, the camera focuses on him several times. During these scenes, Captain Shaw and Sir Evan's leg disappear. (00:28:52)

Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror mistake picture

Continuity mistake: While Sir Evan and Holmes are watching the Nazi plane landing, Meade hides behind some trees. In the next shot, when Meade runs to the plane, the trees he was hidden next to disappear. (00:46:38)

Big Game

Question: What do Voller and Klaber say in German when they board the Nazi plane at the end of the film?

Big Game

Question: During the truck chase, what does Dietrich yell to the sergeant in German to make the latter approach?

Big Game

Revealing mistake: The wide shot of the exterior of Drearcliffe House is a recycling of the wide shot of the church where Meade and his Nazi colleagues were hiding in "Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror." It can't be the same place, as the mansion is located in Scotland and the church in England. (00:01:21)

Star Wars (1977)

Factual error: Admiral Motti tells General Tagge, "Dangerous to your star fleet, Commander," even though Tagge is an army general and could not command a star fleet.

Suggested correction: It's heartening to see how they adhered to human, earthly military conventions a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Continuity mistake: When we first see Colonel Dietrich, he, Belloq and Gobler are crossing Tanis on foot. The scene cuts out when the three of them arrive next to some wagons. However, seven minutes later (in movie time) they are shown again in exactly the same position as they were in the first shot, continuing their actions. This is also seen in the two soldiers in the background on a hill and in a soldier on horseback going from left to right. Even Indy’s team is visible in the first shot, when he is supposed to be in another place only with Sallah. (00:50:09 - 00:57:00)

Big Game

Plot hole: When the sergeant takes control of the truck, Dietrich directs him to approach to crush Indy between the staff car and the truck, which takes time and allows Indy to make his famous scene. However, Dietrich could easily have shot him and arrived in Cairo with the Ark in his possession. (01:27:40)

Suggested correction: Shooting means risking hitting the truck's engine, which means finding new transport for the ark. All of which takes time off their schedule. Bad guys are always on a schedule.

True.

Mike Lynch

Continuity mistake: When the sergeant throws Indy out of the truck window, the adventurer grabs the Mercedes logo with his left hand. After two shots, he is to have let go. However, in the next shot, Indy is grabbing it again. (01:27:25)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: As the Nazis are preparing to leave Tanis, a soldier fires a shot into the air, causing several Arabs to fall to the ground and land in the middle of a circle of soldiers. In the next shot, as Belloq heads for the car, all the downed Arabs, the sergeant and the circle of soldiers have disappeared, with only the soldiers who were loading the Ark onto the truck remaining. (01:26:55)

Big Game

Character mistake: When Gobler informs Dietrich about the preparation of the Flying Wing, the former calls the Colonel "Herr Major." (01:16:25)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: Just as Indy crashes Gobler's jeep for the second time, you can see that beside the desert road is a large forest. However, the jeep falls off a cliff that appears out of nowhere. (01:25:37)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: When Indy throws Terry Leonard out of the truck, the forest they were driving through disappears. Then Indy closes the truck's door and the forest reappears. (01:24:22)
