Thelma and Louise (1991)

Factual error: When they're trying to head to Mexico, they pass the same rock formations several times. Specifically, earlier in the drive, the formations are in the scene where they mention the Rocky Mountains. The same formations can be seen later when they get pulled over by the cop. It's like they're driving in circles. Part of the film was shot outside of Moab, Utah, near Arches National Park. (01:34:19 - 01:41:30)

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Revealing mistake: Near the end, as they are chasing the girls, the cops turn around on the freeway into the dirt median. They follow exact tyre tracks from previous takes.

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Audio problem: Right after the girls blow up the tanker, there is a sequence with scanner traffic. They show some helicopters. Right at the beginning of the scene with the choppers, the audio of them cuts out for a split second.

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Land (2021)

Visible crew/equipment: When Edee is driving up to the cabin for the first time, just before they get there, there are a couple of shots looking through the windshield showing her looking out. A couple of the shots have a shadow of the top of the camera very visible. You can see the mic antenna on it.

Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Jack is trying to catch up to the bus in Tuneman's car, the sun changes several times. In most angles, it's to their right. At one point, it is behind them. Then, it's above them.

Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: Jack is lying on his horn trying to get onto the onramp. This is right before he drives past Tuneman. He is lying on the horn, and yet both of his hands are on the wheel.

Audio problem: Near the beginning of the film, when the sheriffs are chasing Kya, she takes her boat through some trees. The main sheriff says "in there," or something similar. His mouth doesn't match what he is saying.

Factual error: Near the beginning when the Ducks are late for the ceremony at the school, they're rollerblading around Minneapolis. In one short moment, they're rollerblading around Minnehaha Falls, which is in Minneapolis (the scene where Goldberg goes down the stairs). The next, they are skating down Ramsey Avenue in St. Paul (the scene just before they are forced to jump over the rail). That's a distance of nearly 5 miles. This is within the space of seconds.

A Christmas Story (1983)

Continuity mistake: After the old man plugs the lamp in and starts to admire it, Ralphie is looking up at it. Cut to the other angle where we can see his face, and he is now looking down.

Dogma (1999)

Revealing mistake: Bethany gets upset about finding out she's related to Jesus and goes in the water to scream at God. Metatron is instantly there. He walks across the water. You can see the supports underwater that he is standing on. Look to the left of him.

Dogma (1999)

Visible crew/equipment: When Loki kills the guy on the bus committing adultery, the camera pushes in on him before he pulls the trigger. As it is doing this, the shadow of the camera is visible on the left side. It's clear enough; you can see the clear shadow of the camera hood.

Deliberate mistake: Near the end, after the case is dismissed, people are celebrating, and we see a reporter talking, with snow flying around him. Cut to another shot of people watching a television. The snow has disappeared from the reporter's shot. It's likely that, since the snow was added in post, the filmmakers forgot to include it in that one shot.

Revealing mistake: Near the beginning, there is a Muppet sitting on the edge of a building with a large cup in its hand. As it raises the cup, a wire is visible, aiding the raising.

Continuity mistake: Near the end, Jake hides in a dog crate. The dog runs out of the plane, and the baggage guys chase after it. While this is happening, a bag is coming down the conveyor belt. Between the first shot and the next angle, the bag jumps backwards.

Factual error: Eddie drops Jake off near Madison, Wisconsin after he realises Jake just wants Allie back. Minutes before this, the background in the vehicle shots shown is in the mountains. Wisconsin, especially that part of the state, doesn't have mountains. Nearly the entire film was shot in British Columbia.

The Bishop's Wife (1947)

Continuity mistake: In the taxi, they almost hit a large truck coming toward them. Cary Grant taps the driver on the shoulder, and they miss it. The very next shot has the rear window of the car in it. The truck has disappeared.

Visible crew/equipment: The camera is reflected in the glass of the gas station after the woman calls the cops on the killer. It's visible on the right side before the shot cuts.

Twisters (2024)

Visible crew/equipment: At the rodeo, just as the tornado comes, there is a shot panning across some equipment that ends with the guy shouting into the microphone for people to evacuate. As it's panning across the equipment, it's casting shadows on it.

Hocus Pocus (1993)

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, right before the witches turn the boy into the cat, watch the girl in the chair. She's supposed to be dead because the witches sucked her life force out. She moves her knees. There are two mistakes in this scene. Not only is the dead girl moving her knees, the sheet covering them goes from being between her legs to completely straight.
