The Sound of Music (1965)
Trivia: In the end when the family is climbing over the hills to safety, it is not really Gretl on the shoulders of Captain Von Trapp. On the DVD, it's revealed that while in Austria, Kym Karath gained a lot of weight. This was one of the last shots filmed and so she was a bit too heavy to be carried on Christopher Plummer's back, so he requested a lighter double.

Chicago (2002)
Visible crew/equipment: In the "Roxie" number, just after Roxie sings "that means somebody everyone knows" she goes down a line of mirrors and as she does you can see three crew members with what looks to be a camera in front of the middle one. Their figures are somewhat dark, so it's a bit hard to see, but it's there.

The Birds (1963)
Revealing mistake: As Mitch is about to pick up Annie's dead body, you can see her left foot move slightly. (01:31:45)

Family Guy (1999)
Death Lives - S3-E6
Trivia: After Peter gets struck by lightning and Death appears, there is a shot of the sky and the clouds seem to break apart and the sun comes out. This looks remarkably like the beginning of the opening credits for "The Simpsons," another show on FOX.

50 First Dates (2004)
Question: What would happen if Lucy stayed up all night and she was with Henry? Would she all of a sudden forget him or would it happen very slowly?
Chosen answer: Apparently, she loses all her daily memories when she enters a full sleep, so keeping her awake would have given them a chance to see each other for longer periods.
Then my question is what about the naps during the day that she takes?
Naps would reset her brain like any other sleep.

Mean Girls (2004)
Continuity mistake: During the dance scene, the captain of the Mathletes goes up to Cady's friend Janice and starts dancing with her. At first she's smiling, but the next shot shows her with a straight face. (01:31:15)

Shrek 2 (2004)
Trivia: In the scene in the Fairy Godmother's workshop, there are two pictures placed next to each other. One picture is a profile of a mean-looking woman, and the picture next to it is of a profile of a witch. This is what Miss Gulch looks like when she transforms into the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939).
15th May 2004
Mary Poppins (1964)
Question: Does anybody know how they did the scene where Mary Poppins is doing a duet with her mirror image?
Chosen answer: They recorded her singing in two separate parts and fixed them together. The editors did a good job on it! It may have been made a long time ago but even then the technology was quite advanced enough to carry out that scene.

Airplane (1980)

Revealing mistake: In the flashback scene in the bar, one of the girl scouts slams the other girl scout onto the floor and one can see the mat that the girl lands on. It had been covered in dirt or dust but when the girl lands it is swept away and you can see one of the corners of the mat. (00:16:40)
