The One Where Underdog Gets Away - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: When the six are looking out the window at Ugly Naked Guy cooking his turkey, they are looking straight across the alley into his window. In "TOW The Giant Poking Device", Ugly Naked Guy's apartment is several floors below theirs in the adjoining building.

Revealing mistake: After Muney kills Hackman's character and he is leaving town in the torrential downpour, a large circle of white light is illuminating the street in between the buildings. This light cannot possibly be from any natural or earthly source (e.g., it's raining heavily, so no moon; no electricity during this period in history). Without the artificial light, the scene would be completely dark and unviewable.

Trivia: Andy has a calendar in his room with characters from "A Bug's Life", another Pixar film.

The One Where Rachel Finds Out - S1-E24
Other mistake: When Rachel leaves the apartment to pursue Ross to the airport, she is turning to the left when she exits the apartment. The stairs are to the right.
24th Aug 2012
Continuity mistake: Larry pulls the "do not remove" tag from the bell and we see the bell fall away and slide down the roof about six feet, but when the camera angles changes, the bell is again falling through that same space.

Character mistake: When the three are introduced to the adoptive couple, their names are not provided. But the husband then says they want to adopt Moe.

The One Where Joey Speaks French - S10-E13
Other mistake: When Chandler, Monica and Erika arrive back at the apartment after sightseeing, Chandler enters the apartment from the left (past where their apartment door is) rather than from the right, as if he came up the stairs. He obviously is entering from the stage and didn't take the time or cue to appear to enter from the direction of the stairs.

Audio problem: Tom is in the van, after dropping off his daughter, and he "redials" a number on his cellphone but we hear the electronic beeps for each number being dialled, even though redialling on cellphones does not produce those sounds.
4th Apr 2012
Continuity mistake: Tom is cleaning the convenience store, presumably after a fatal robbery and a woman is weeping in the back room. The door is ajar about 1-2 feet when Tom first sees her; when we see him next to the door to close it to shield her from his work, the door is more than halfway open.
21st Mar 2012
Continuity mistake: When Alan is taunting Michael about selling door knobs and Michael's back is against the door frame to the dining room, the dining room is dark; both chandeliers are off. All four characters are in the living room but as Michael responds to Alan's taunts, the lights are on, even though no one entered that room and Michael's hands were in his pockets during the exchange.
20th Mar 2012
Factual error: Early in the film, as Cassius Clay is riding a bus, you can see a modern UPS truck sitting at a curb near a stop sign.

Trivia: Kathryn Stockett, the author of the book, has a cameo as one of the ladies in the Ladies Auxillary meeting.

Continuity mistake: When Holly and McMissle are convincing Mater to complete the mission, his door panels change between the shots facing the two and then facing Mater.
25th Apr 2011
Trivia: During the scene where Dreyfus' character is underwater in a protective case, Spielberg used a real shark, which was much smaller than the mechanical shark. They were going to use a little person to stand in for Dreyfus but it was too dangerous, so they used a small mannequin.
25th Apr 2011
Trivia: During the scene where Robin Williams (the doctor) has to restrain Robert DeNiro (the patient), Robin accidentally broke DeNiro's nose. DeNiro insisted that they continue with the filming until the scene was completed because he knew, from prior experience, that he wouldn't be able to film for at least a week, until the swelling and bruising went down. And DeNiro actually was glad it happened because it corrected the bump from the prior broken nose.

5th Apr 2011
Continuity mistake: The guards take John to see the Fred Astaire movie and John sits well to the right of centre in the theatre. We see John mesmerized by the movie, Paul sitting a row behind in the centre of the seat theatre and the light from the projector spreads wide directly behind and over top of Paul's head. Yet, when we see John again a moment later, when he's says "They's just like angels", the projector light is directly behind John, deliberately giving the illusion of a halo. This would not occur as shown unless John had moved over to the centre of the theatre.
19th Dec 2010
Continuity mistake: During the first breakfast scene, Ralphie's bacon is on his left on the plate, he takes one bite of it and now the camera angle changes to show the bacon on his right and a large empty space on the left, where the bacon was moments before.

Question: Does anyone know how to access the easter egg on the DVD? There is a sign in the lower left corner that says "Keep Out" but I haven't figured out how to access it. Thanks for any help.
