Bullet Train (2022)

Factual error: The real bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto only takes about 2 hours, rather than all night like the movie depicts.

Incredibles 2 (2018)

Factual error: When Elastigirl receives her new bike she discovers it's electric. Later, when she is rescuing the train, the bike hits a mountain and is destroyed in a fireball. What is making the fireball? It's electric so there is no gasoline/diesel to make a fireball, and a lithium explosion doesn't look like that. (00:33:30)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine mistake picture

Melora - S2-E6

Visible crew/equipment: When Jadzia and Melora are in the runabout talking about relationships, Jadzia mentions having to go back 150 years for a Starfleet relationship; when it cuts to Melora the boom mic can be seen coming in through the front window. (00:23:05)

Watchmen (2009)

Continuity mistake: When Veidt is explaining how he offed the Comedian and killed the fake assassin, Rorschach launches an attack behind him which Veidt blocks, the shot changes in an instant cut and Veidt is now facing Rorschach. (03:00:35)

Watchmen (2009)

Question: One thing that's been slightly puzzling me since I read the book (and watched the film): Does Rorschach know that he's entering The Comedian's apartment when he breaks in? or does he just go around randomly entering crime scenes?

Sanguis

Chosen answer: He does, in fact, go around snooping around crime scenes. In the comic, he says "Investigated routine homicide. Found costume in Blake's wardrobe. Seems he was the Comedian."

Thundercats (1985)

The Astral Prison - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Lion-O lands after falling down the crevice after encountering the 3-Eyed monster the ThunderCat Logo on his is a red Lion on a black background, in all other shots it's a black lion on a red background. (00:07:30)

9 (2009)

9 mistake picture

Other mistake: When 1 strikes off 2 (I think) from the calendar we can see that 1 is Wednesday, 2 is Thursday, 3 is Friday and that 4 is Saturday but 5 is Monday; meaning that Sunday has no date.

Show generally

Question: When they settle on New Caprica, is (roughly) 49,000 people sufficiently genetically diverse enough to ensure survival or would the colony start to run into trouble after a few generations?

Sanguis

Chosen answer: 100 breeding couples would be plenty with genetic screening, which Colonial tech seems easily capable of. 50,000 would be more than sufficient even with old-fashioned random pairings.

Grumpy Scot

Continuity mistake: When the Planet Express ship bursts into the explosion ceremony Bender is wearing a Feministas mask. When the No.9 Man talks to the encyclopod he is no longer wearing it, it reappears when the encyclopod flies off and Zapp Brannigan tries to arrest them. (01:25:00)

Futurama (1999)

I Dated a Robot - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: When Fry and Lucy Liu-bot are in Dinkin Donuts, Fry has a jam doughnut with a bite taken out of it. Fry and Lucy Liu-bot talk and Lucy Liu-bot explains about her personality and it cuts back to Fry, who has a complete jam doughnut and takes a bite out of it. (00:08:00)

Futurama (1999)

I, Roommate - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When the TV first loses transmission and fills with static Fry taps it and it tunes back in, he then does his Fonz impression facing the sofa, it then cuts and he's facing the TV. (00:12:45)

Futurama (1999)

Space Pilot 3000 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Fry is trapped in the Cryo-Tube we see the buildings being destroyed and rebuilt, the final city is rebuilt, Fry unfreezes and steps out of the Cryo-Tube and the buildings out the window are completely different. (00:02:30)

Futurama (1999)

Trivia: When Zapp Brannigan tells Leela to surrender by waving her shirt in the air, there is a shot of Leela pulling her shirt off whilst the camera pans up and we see a shot of her breasts for a few frames. Confirmed on the Audio Commentary. However neither of her breasts have nipples; possibly as a result of her being a mutant. (00:59:00)

Futurama (1999)

Anthology of Interest I - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Fry asks the Professor his 'What if?' question there are two shots from behind showing Scruffy and one shot in front. From behind, Scruffy has a brown moustache and a grey hat, but from the front he has his usual grey moustache and brown hat. (00:14:20)

The Dark Knight (2008)

Revealing mistake: When The Joker destroys the hospital the windows on the second and third story don't reflect anything. This is because the day before shooting at the abandoned building vandals broke in and destroyed the windows, meaning they needed to be replaced by CGI. Confirmed in the "Making of". (01:52:35)

Sanguis

Continuity mistake: Gromit uses the handbrake to let the ship take off, but when travelling between the Earth and the Moon there is a shot of the control console and the handbrake has disappeared.

Sanguis

Continuity mistake: When Wallace races out to get the crackers Gromit is seen spinning in his chair, to the right of the screen is the handbrake in the down position. When the ship blasts off Gromit realises he's left it on and puts it from the up position to the down position. (00:08:30 - 00:09:20)
