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.

The Mighty Ducks (1992)

Other mistake: During the sequence when we first see Fulton, he grabs the bullies and throws them down. As he's doing this, there is a fraction of a second where the picture goes black. The sound persists. It's fast, but very easy to see. This is on the Disney+ version of the film.

The Mighty Ducks (1992)

Audio problem: During the first hockey game, two players almost get in a fight, and the ref pulls them apart. He says something, but his mouth doesn't match what he says.

Cl2 - S5-E3

Other mistake: The boy stuck in the train car has a very cracked screen on his phone, but when we see video from the phone from his brother's side, the picture from the camera is immaculate.

The Faculty (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Nurse Harper comes into the faculty lounge and is talking about pills, watch Coach Willis's hand. He starts to raise his hand to drink water, and we never see him lower it. The shot cuts to an angle through the slats in the closet. He repeats the action.

The Faculty (1998)

Other mistake: About 18 minutes in, the new girl from Atlanta is hearing who Stokely is from Delilah. Right as the angle is about to change, looking at Stokely, there is a weird out-of-place zoom.

Police Story (1985)

Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning, at the start of the big car chase down the hill, there is a guy blocking another guy's vehicle. The blocking car is red and backs up before turning onto another road. The reflection of the entire camera crew is visible in the side of the red car.

Mad Max (1979)

Visible crew/equipment: About half an hour into the film, following the scene where the two people are rescued, there is a shot of a guy stopping on a motorcycle. He tells a man, "Johnny, the boy has done it again." Right as the camera is tracking across his bike, the head of the camera operator casts a shadow on it. (00:30:50)

Visible crew/equipment: Right before the big explosion goes off at Cyberdyne, Arnie, John, and Sarah get in an elevator. The camera comes close to the doors as they close, causing it to be reflected in the metal.

manthabeat

Other mistake: Near the end, after they enter Cyberdyne, the other guard notices the main guard gone. He goes to the bathroom to find him. "Gibbons, you can't leave the desk like that." The interior door is slightly closing when he opens the main door. How is this possible?

Suggested correction: That's explainable by air pressure from opening the outer door causing the inner door to move. They don't have handles and only have to be pushed open so they can be moved by air pressure.

Revealing mistake: Right before Sarah fires the second shot at Dyson at his home office, you can see a puff of smoke come from where she is at. The problem is, she doesn't shoot until a second or two after that and no sound is heard. What is the puff of smoke?

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: After the first shot, there is only a brief close-up of Dyson and then one of Sarah before she fires the second shot. There is no smoke coming from her side before she fires the second shot, as that can't be visible. There is some smoke appearing after the second shot though, in the shot with the camera behind the desk and Dyson diving under it. But that's probably electronics flying and exploding from the second shot hitting the computer. A second or 2 later, she opens up full auto.

The puff of smoke is outside.

Hot Shots! (1991)

Revealing mistake: When Topper is showing off on his bike near the beginning, there is a scene where he gets down from standing up on his bike. It's very obviously a stunt double. The man looks thinner than Charlie Sheen and his hair is different.

Top Gun (1986)

Trivia: The Navy only authorized two actual missiles to be fired for the film. Thus a couple of the missile shots are obviously repeated, and they're easy to spot. The rest of the missile shots were done with miniatures. The company responsible for the miniatures did such a good job that an investigation was done by the Navy to see if more than two missiles had been fired.

Top Gun (1986)

Continuity mistake: Maverick is talking to Charlie in the scene where she gives him her address. In the angle from behind him, his right hand is up holding a pencil next to his head. In the reverse shot, his hand is down. No pencil.

Better Call Saul (2015)

Mijo - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the desert when Tuco and Nacho are interrogating Saul, the sun and sky change half a dozen times. When he is being cut free, the sun is to his left. The next shot it's overhead. The continuity gradually improves as the scene goes on.

The Quiet Man (1952)

Continuity mistake: When Wayne and O'Hara leave on the carriage with the horn, the door to the house is open. Cut to the wider shot and the door is closed.
