Character mistake: When Flynn is in the treetop in the jungle he says their position is minus X degrees latituded and minus Y degrees longitude. Positions are not indicated with minus - but North or South (of the Equator), and East or West (of Greenwich).

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
Plot hole: The plot that a piece of the Roman spear that pierced Christ ends up in a hidden Mayan temple in the Amazon (which is nevertheless still full of gold etc.) makes no sense.

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
Other mistake: When in the Mayan temple Flynn pools out the book. It is completely intact and the pages are flat and even. A book which has been under water for a long time (during their swim) would not look like that.

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Flynn and Nicole jump from the airplane it is just before sunrise. But when they land in the jungle, the sun is high in the sky (which you can tell by the shadows).

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
Character mistake: Flynn has been reading for a while, taking notes, spreading books around, etc. - when Nicole arrives and says that it was nice to watch take-off from the cockpit. The plane must have been in the air for a long time by then.

The Event (2010)
Plot hole: Episode 1: All passengers on cruise ships have a passenger card with their name and cabin number imprinted. They are not just identical key cards like in hotels.

WarGames (1983)
Continuity mistake: McKittrick asks David, whom he was going to Paris with. However, the reservation was made in Jennifer's name, not David's.

Dante's Peak (1997)
Factual error: When being rescued from the crater, Harry tells the helicopter that he is 600 feet below the rim. But earlier, when first the other scientist and then Harry went down into the crater it took a very short time - that could not have been 600 feet. And also from the look of the distance it was more like 150 feet. (00:13:10)
Suggested correction: He's saying he's "about" 600ft below the helicopter, not below the rim. Also, Harry was just guessing at the distance, it could be more, it could be less.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Factual error: When breaking in at the gun club, Axel squeezes the gum foil in the door crack, and fastens it with the gum. But the gum is on the outside of the door. When he opens the door, the foil would flip a bit back, so it would not connect the magnet on the back of the door - where there is no gum.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Audio problem: When Axel is in the shed in the final shoot-out with Dent and Karla, there is a flopping sound from the ceiling fan. The instant Karla gets shot, the sound disappears.

Continuity mistake: In the final shots of the fight on the plane, where Necros holds on to Bond's boot, his right hand position on the boot changes between shots.
28th Apr 2010
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: Axel's grip on the bag of vitamins changes between the first and second shot.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

The Living Daylights (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Bond and Necros are fighting on the opium packages behind the plane, in the wide shot we see that Bond is all the way at the top of the bundle of packages - he takes his knife and cuts the net near his knee. In the next wide shot we see that Bond's head is above the top of the bundle of packages, but in the next close-up, packages are dropping from above Bond's head.

The Living Daylights (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Bond pushes Pushkin back on the bed in the hotel room, Pushkin has a basket with a bottle of champagne in his left hand. It disappears between shots, and there is no sound of it falling to the floor.

Sniper (1993)
Factual error: When in the helicopter the red dot from Miller's sights stays motionless on the EXACT same spot on the man's back - impossible from a helicopter. Doubly so if compared to the scene at the lake, where Miller is sitting totally still and the red dot is moving back and forth over the swimming guy's head.
