Continuity mistake: When Axel breaks into the Shooting Club he places a piece of gum on the door. He squeezes it flat with his finger. But in the next clips, the piece of gum is not flat - and its position has changed.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: The speed with which the cement truck's mixing barrel turns changes significantly between clips of the car chase - and in some clips it doesn't turn at all.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: Bogomil is standing and looking down into the engine of Karla's car when the assassin drives up. However when the shot is fired, Bogomil rolls on the bonnet of the car. When was the bonnet closed?

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Chief Lutz is going through the case in the meeting with the mayor he says "There is no B and D." But there was a B - when Bogomil got shot. Didn't they find that letter?
7th Sep 2006
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Axel's knife breaks in the drawer in the Shooting Club, you can see that there is about 2 inches left of the blade. But when he holds up the knife there is only about 1 inch. Clearly not the same knife.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Axel is hunted in the garage by the black car backing up, you see the hole in it's back window. One shot later the hole is more than twice the size.

Prison Break (2005)
Continuity mistake: "Episode 16-17. In Episode 16 when Linc is to be executed you see the clouds pass in front of the full moon. In Episode 17 - a couple of days later - you again see the full moon."

True Lies (1994)
Audio problem: When the motorbike drives through the Marriot - on carpet - its tires makes sounds as if on concrete. (00:35:50)
3rd Sep 2006
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
Revealing mistake: When the bridge blows up, there are explosions on the bridge deck itself, but the charges were only set on the pillars below.
3rd Sep 2006
True Lies (1994)
Factual error: The shots fired in the toilet are fired at a very narrow angle at the toilet doors. But when you see the holes up close they are perfectly round. They should be elongated. (00:32:40)
9th Jul 2006
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Audio problem: The pitch of an airliner's engine doesn't change dramatically when going through rough turbulence. In the scene with the turbulence - after all is quiet, it almost sounds as if the engines are shut down. And it happens way to fast for it to be the pilots doing it. And why would the pilots speed up when entering turbulence?

Gattaca (1997)
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Anton and Vincent are swimming in the ocean, the state of the sea when near the beach doesn't fit with how it is when they're further offshore.
8th Jul 2006
Godzilla (1998)
Deliberate mistake: The pile of fish in the first fish trap is much taller than the trucks. That's impossible without some sort of lifting equipment - and no such thing is around in the aerial shots. (00:42:50)
8th Jul 2006
Godzilla (1998)
Continuity mistake: The ground does not shake every time Godzilla comes - only in some of the first scenes. And only when approaching - not when he is walking away.
10th Dec 2005
Shrek 2 (2004)
Continuity mistake: Puss saves the Gingerbread Man from drowning in the castle's moat by catching him with his sword, however, he is on Donkey's back and the drawbridge is a couple of meters above the water. So the sword would have to have been 2-3 meters long to get down to the Gingerbread Man.

Dave (1993)
Factual error: Nance give the President fertility beads from the King of Togo. Togo is not a Kingdom - it's a Republic.
15th Nov 2005
A View to a Kill (1985)
Factual error: Bond and Stacy jump across the 3rd street bridge in the firetruck in the dead of night. When they arrive at Main Strike Mine it is as if they have been driving for a long time. However it is clear that they are close to town - and San Andreas Lake is only 12 miles south of the 3rd street bridge. (01:34:00)
13th Nov 2005
A View to a Kill (1985)
Factual error: When Zorin blows the explosives on the train in the mine tunnel, the tunnel collapses, letting the water from San Andreas Lake in. However that would not have generated a huge water column on the surface of the lake. That could only happen with a bomb in the water, not deep below the lake bed. (01:46:20)
12th Nov 2005
A View to a Kill (1985)
Continuity mistake: If a diving tank were perforated under water there would be a big 'explosion' from the release of compressed air. No such thing happens when Bond throws his tank into the propeller blade. (01:01:40)
12th Nov 2005
A View to a Kill (1985)
Continuity mistake: Bond's air tank is perforated on the middle after he has thrown it into the propeller blade. But it would have been hit in the end, not in the middle, after being pushed into a fast spinning blade. (01:01:30)
