The Sauna at the End of the Stairs - S1-E11
Corrected entry: Cody sees that after he electrocuted his father, the wall plug is on fire and has burn marks. He removes the plug plate and replaces it. We see him remove the plate and the central area where the plug holes are. Plugs aren't made that way. The outer area (the plate) is easy to remove, but the central part would require an electrician to remove and rewire.

Continuity mistake: Mark Antony walks in the site where Cleopatra's tomb is being built. He wears a soldier's uniform and she a red gown, purple robe and a short wig. She walks five steps forward and suddenly they're in a completely different place: both in her bedroom, she wearing now a dreadlock wig, white dress and transparent robe, while he is resting on a couch dressed in red civilian clothes. She walks offscreen and a shot later she has yet another wig, another dress, different belt and black robe.
Suggested correction: It creatively shows how long their ongoing passionate argument continues through the day, with changes in the time of day, location, and attire; done with three separate, consecutive scenes, signifying time jump transitions. First, it's daytime when Mark Antony joins Cleopatra at her tomb's construction; they argue, and she walks away. With the next transition, it's later in the day; they still argue in a different location and attire, then she walks away. The last transition is another jump in time; it's evening, with Cleopatra now in her nighttime attire, as their argument has been going strong all day.

Corrected entry: In one scene, Grandpa packs up all of Arnold's stuff, but in the scene when Arnold and Gerald have a sleepover, all of Arnold's stuff is back in his room.
Correction: When Arnold finds Grandpa packing Arnold's stuff, at 00:18:40, Grandpa says, "It's only a matter of time now. Everyone else has sold... I have to sell." Then Grandpa tells Arnold about the Tomato Incident. Arnold is convinced he'll track down the historic site document within the next two days, and he'll save the homes and stores when he shows the document to the mayor. At 00:21:10, Arnold tells Grandpa not to sell the boarding house, and Grandpa replies, "You're a bold kid, I'm with you all the way." So while offscreen, Arnold and Grandpa unpack Arnold's stuff. It's at 00:33:25 that we next see Arnold's room when Gerald is sleeping over that night. The continuity is not problematic.

Corrected entry: After the first bus blows up, Jack hears the phone ringing. It is a two phone stand. When Jack first reaches for the phone to answer it you can see he answers the phone on the right hand side. To the right of the phone you can only see trees to the right side. In every scene after that, he is on the left hand side phone.
Correction: While the telephone rings, Jack walks over. At the very start of the shot (00:28:58), when Jack lifts the phone receiver, we can see it's the receiver of the left payphone stand; the metal case of the right payphone is visible at the right side of the screen, and in the space between the two payphones, we can see the shrubbery ("trees") in the background. So, Jack lifts the payphone receiver on the left and continues to use the left receiver in the following shots. Rewatch, please.

A Penny For Your Thoughts - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: In the episode "A Penny For Your Thoughts," when the man puts his cracked glasses on after the crash, the crack is in the left lens, but when he takes them off and puts them on in a later shot, the crack is in the right lens.
Suggested correction: After the car knocks Hector down, all three shots of Hector's eyeglasses properly show his left lens is cracked. First, at 00:02:25, in Hector's close-up when the car's driver thinks about Hector's "asinine jaywalking." Then a bit later, at 00:04:00, in the two shots of Hector when he puts the glasses back on while he's with his boss, Mr. Bagby (on the phone with Felicia, the chorus girl), Rewatch, please.
11th Jan 2025
Corrected entry: When Marv is trying to regain balance at the entrance to the basement, his crowbar (which had been hooked onto the window frame) is now floating midair, perhaps dangling on string to drop at just the right moment.
Correction: Marv's crowbar is not "floating midair," nor is it "dangling on a string to drop at just the right moment." After Marv falls down the icy stairs and says, "Ow," when he uses the crowbar to help himself stand upright, we can see that this exterior door has a lower raised solid panel under the glass panels. When Marv peeks through the glass and falls again, the crowbar gets caught on the top lip of the door's raised solid panel for a moment, turns, then slips off the panel's lip and drops. Rewatch, please.

Continuity mistake: The taxi leaves the scene with a left turn. You can see it is missing the front hubcap on that side, but it was in its place just moments before; no further crashing happened. (01:37:25)
Suggested correction: The taxi's front left hubcap does not suddenly go "missing" between two shots. The reckless taxi hits the median island (sparks in this shot), hits three metal trash cans, and slams into a car. It's quite plausible to accept that, due to these jarring impacts, even though no further crashing happened the left hubcap has already been jostled loose; so during Martin Lawrence and Will Smith's iconic close-up shot, there is sufficient time for that hubcap to fall off while the taxi is off-screen.
I never said it was from consecutive shots, just that there were no other collisions. It didn't look loose in the slightest after all the collisions you mentioned. The last time we see it on screen, it is actually hidden by a fender that is not supposed to be there because of another mistake already reported, so we could say that is part of that other mistake, if anything.
Even though "there were no other collisions" that occurred, within the scene it's a reasonable possibility the hubcap could have been loosened by all the impacts from moments before. And the problem with stating "it didn't look loose in the slightest" after all the collisions is that a loosened hubcap can sometimes be completely unnoticeable visually while the vehicle is in motion. The hubcap could have fallen off as the taxi is driving away, while off-screen (blue fender shot notwithstanding).

Corrected entry: When Jan cuts Marcia's hair, Cindy is lying on her side. When she wakes up, she's lying on her back.
Correction: This is all within Jan's dream, and this change does not occur between shots. While Cindy is off-screen, there is ample time for her to roll onto her back. In the first shot, we see Cindy on her right side. Then, there is a shot of Jan walking closer to Marcia. It cuts to a close-up shot of the scissors cutting Marcia's hair. It's in the next shot that we finally see Cindy on her back and lifting her head up.
15th Feb 2003
Corrected entry: There's a scene where Arnold is talking about saving the neighbourhood, while Helga is on the roof of a building talking to herself. Arnold is in the street, and there's a man in a white tank top standing in front of him. In another shot, the man is standing behind Arnold, and Helga shoots a plunger at his head. Then in the next shot, the man is back in front of Arnold and his head doesn't have the plunger on it anymore.
Correction: No changes occur between shots. While Helga is alone on the roof professing her love for Arnold, first she has a slingshot and this bald man stands in the crowd in front of Arnold. Eight shots later, Helga has a crossbow loaded with a suction cup arrow, then lines up the scope's crosshairs on the bald man standing behind Arnold (he had plenty of time to move during the eight shots offscreen), at 00:06:05. Next shot, the suction cup arrow lands on the bald man's head, and he's still standing behind Arnold. Then three shots later, while this man was offscreen again, he has removed the suction cup arrow that was stuck on his head and rejoined the crowd gathered in front of Arnold (well, who can blame him, some nut landed a toy arrow on his head while he stood behind Arnold).

Corrected entry: When the priest comes to Whipstaff in the beginning of the film, his cross is firmly snagged on his button. Next shot, it is perfectly free from being stuck. (00:08:10)
Correction: This does not occur in the "next shot," as you say; it's two shots later. In between those two shots, there's a shot facing Dibs and Carrigan as she asks, "Then you can handle this?" It's actually enough time for the chain to fall from the button and hang properly.
20th Nov 2021
Other mistake: When Malagant visits the Round Table, he places his sword at his old position but never retrieves it before he leaves.
Suggested correction: Near the start of the film, when Malagant and his men kill villagers and burn the border village, Malagant wields his current distinctive sword with its long serrated edge. So when Malagant places his own old "Knights" sword (all Knights of the Round Table have identical swords) at his past position on the table, Malagant effectively renounces his former seat at King Arthur's Round Table. Prince Malagant has absolutely no intention of retrieving that sword when he exits.

Corrected entry: The Furball Strikes Back: At one point, the guard's sunglasses disappear.
Correction: Firstly, stating "at one point" doesn't make it clear where in the book this occurs, and secondly, the guard's sunglasses don't "disappear." Page 51 has 3 individual panels. The upper panel shows Piranha call, "Cock-a-doodle-doo," to attract the guard, who stands directly in front of Sunnyside's doors, while Piranha and Legs hide a significant distance away from the guard. The lower left panel is a close-up of the guard as he wears sunglasses in front of the Sunnyside doors when he hears Piranha. In the lower right panel, the guard is without sunglasses as he now stands beside Piranha, with Sunnyside's doors seen in the distance. So, between panel 2 and panel 3, a bit of time has passed, and in that time it took for the guard to walk over to Piranha's hiding spot, the guard removed his glasses. No continuity problems.

Corrected entry: After the car gets dropped off the bridge, the driver's side door swings open. In the next shot, it is closed. (00:48:59)
Correction: It's not "in the next shot" that the door is closed; it's actually two shots later with a bit of time in between. When the white car gets dropped from the bridge, in the shot of the car landing on the ground, the door swings open and also begins to swing back the other way in the direction of being closed. Then the shot cuts away. It cuts to a close-up of the goons standing on the bridge looking down at the car. It's in the next shot, as the goons walk toward the white car, that the door is now closed. Within the time offscreen, Tsurugi could have closed the door while the goons were walking down to the car, so he can surprise attack them in this pretty amusing fight scene.

Corrected entry: Dawn of the Underlord: After Ellen throws her the guitar, Rhonda disappears.
Correction: No, Rhonda does not "disappear" on page 35. Page 34 shows the band mid-performance, with Hogwild on drums. On page 35, there are 3 panels – 2 upper individual panels over a large lower panel. The 2 upper panels are connected via Ellen Fox's hand/paw whoosh, as Fox flings her guitar at Rhonda when the band is done performing. The lower panel is a wide shot, with a subject change (in the time it takes for Hogwild to stand up from the drums and walk toward Fox, Rhonda walks away), and this panel shows the 3 members of the band, Ellen Fox, Pam, and Hogwild, now all standing side by side.
29th Oct 2024
Corrected entry: Dawn of the Underlord: On page 35, Ellen/Agent Fox has sunglasses, but they disappear from page 37 onwards.
Correction: On pages 32, 33, and 34, Agent Fox is not wearing sunglasses while she's performing; then, when the band is done performing on page 35, Fox has put on sunglasses as she cheekily flings her guitar. Then, on page 36, Fox is not seen at all. So, when Fox appears on page 37, she has already removed her sunglasses, while she was not seen in the previous pictures on page 36. There is no continuity issue.
15th Mar 2020
Corrected entry: In the pilot Artie and Charmaine Bucco had two kids, Art and Melissa. But in this episode they refer to their daughter as Kiara and their son is never mentioned again.
Correction: Nope. You should rewatch. Artie and Charmaine have 3 kids (2 girls and a boy); Chiara is the eldest, and their two younger kids are Art and Melissa. In S1xE13 "I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano," Tony, Carmela, Meadow, and AJ wind up at Nuovo Vesuvio during the thunderstorm. Then Charmaine tells Meadow and AJ, "Chiara and her brother and sister are back in the kitchen." In S4xE6 "Everybody Hurts," Charmaine tells Artie, "We'll start working on your empire right after we pay the 10,000 dollars of orthodonture Melissa's gonna need this year."
4th Nov 2024
Corrected entry: When the stroller rolls out of the antique store and crashes into the railing, in the shot where the lady runs up to it, look at the attendant inside the ticket booth in the background. She is completely frozen, with no animation on her at all. (01:17:05)
Correction: This is simply wrong. The attendant can be seen moving and reacting to what’s going on.
You are likely referring to the shot before the stroller crashes into the railing. The attendant is moving there, but after the stroller crashes and the lady runs up to it, she becomes motionless.
Correction: When the lady runs up to the crashed baby carriage, in this shot the attendant in the booth in the background (seen in this specific shot for 2 seconds) you described as "motionless" and "frozen, with no animation on her at all." This attendant does not display movement in this shot; however, her stance and facial expression convey shock at what just happened, so she's staring with her eyes wide open and mouth agape. There's really nothing "revealing" about it.
I suppose I put this mistake under the wrong category, but I never stated that the attendant doesn't react to what happened. You mentioned her stance and facial expression, and I agree with that. But here's the thing: the attendant is standing still, which is fine, but there is no movement to make her look... well, alive. As a result, she looks like a statue. It's an animation error. That's what I'm saying. If I'm still wrong, please explain why, because it really doesn't look right to me.
Within the 2 seconds this attendant is visible, she doesn't look like a statue; she just looks completely transfixed and shocked - appropriate for that moment. And actually, movement to make her look "alive" is unnecessary because for those 2 seconds she's seen, the fact that she's standing there transfixed, with her shocked expression, is quite human. Her animation does not appear odd or weird in any way, to me.
I mean, she still looks off to me, but fair enough, I suppose.

The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Corrected entry: April is transformed into a Catwoman by a teleportation accident. Shredder puts a mind control collar on her, and she attacks the turtles. The turtles manage to remove the collar, and the fight ends. Shortly afterwards, April returns to her normal form, without any explanation.
Correction: Shredder himself provides the explanation within the episode, after he discerned April "transmutated with a cat." When the collar is put on April, Bebop asks Shredder why he's giving her such a pretty present. Shredder replies, "It's not a present, you cretin; the effects of the molecular crossover will only last a short time, but with that collar, she will obey my every command forever." So, while April is temporarily a cat, Shredder uses it to his advantage and controls her thought waves to go after the rat, Master Splinter, but alas, Shredder's control was terminated. Since the effects of the molecular crossover were merely temporary, April later returns to her normal human self.

Corrected entry: When Elizabeth's horse takes the bad fall, Maryellen tells them it has a broken hoof. So they put the horse down instead of taking it to a nearby vet for help.
Correction: This episode takes place in 1945. We see Mary Ellen look toward the mare's front (not hind) legs/joints, which are weight bearing; and when Mary Ellen tells Elizabeth about her mare, Molly, Mary Ellen's actual words are, "Elizabeth, it's her leg. It's broken. It's bad. We're gonna have to put her out of her misery." Viewers are not shown what Molly's "bad" break is, but with Mary Ellen's words, we know the break is severe, which was a death sentence for any horse. Just to add, it all completely depends on the location of the equine injury and the severity of the break/fracture. Nowadays, with modern advancements in equine veterinary care, (thankfully!) some severe breaks may not be a death sentence for a horse.

Corrected entry: When Noel and Katie are being chased by the motorcycles, he tells her to put on the helmet, which is yellow. Then, when he is in the backseat of the car fighting, he asks her to hand him the helmet, and when she does, it is now red. (00:29:21 - 00:34:06)

Correction: There are two 'self-closing outlet covers' in both the bathroom and bedroom. Cody didn't remove the wall outlet receptacles that conduct electricity; he only removed and switched the outer self-closing outlet cover plates: the bathroom cover plate decorated in wallpaper and the bedroom's plain outlet cover plate. In the bathroom, when Morgan removes the self-closing outlet cover (without wallpaper), they see the scorched outlet receptacle is still there from the fire. Near the end, during the reenactment, when we hear Morgan say, "He cleans up any evidence of a fire," note the self-closing outlet cover plate in Cody's hand that he places over the scorched outlet receptacle to conceal the burn marks. Rewatch, please.

Thanks. I've never seen covers like that.

This type, and other similar variations, has often been used by people (myself included) to child-proof and pet-proof wall outlets.
