The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Black Tom Cassidy is first shown counting his money, he's seated at a table with no wall near his backside. Moments later when Erik the Red is telling Lilandra what name he goes by on Earth, there is suddenly a window behind Cassidy, within an arm's reach. (00:10:22 - 00:11:09)

Continuity mistake: When Moira and Banshee are alerted to Xavier in distress, the building with his room is several yards away from the edge of the cliff. However, when Banshee dives to save Xavier from falling to his death, the edge of the cliff is now only a few feet from the building. (00:02:46 - 00:05:02)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Moira is telling Banshee that Xavier has given everything for his students, she has her left hand placed on Banshee's right arm, and her right arm is down at her side. Then when she remarks that she thinks she's the only friend Xavier has, she is running her fingers through her hair. When this scene was shown in the previous episode however, she is grasping Banshee's arm with both of her hands, and she never runs her fingers through her hair. (00:02:26)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When the text depicting the episode name appears on screen after the opening credits, it says "The Phoenix Saga Part 2, The Cry of the Banshee." It should read "The Phoenix Saga Part 3, The Cry of the Banshee." Note: this mistake may only apply to the DVD version of the episode. The episode that appears on Disney+ correctly depicts it as "Part III." (00:02:20)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Revealing mistake: When Professor X is telling Juggernaut that he is in his mind, if you look closely you can see there is a disembodied mouth on the right side of Professor X's face that is synchronized with his dialogue. Apparently an animation error. Note: this error may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as it does not occur on the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:04:00)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When Xavier is telling Moira about how he and Lilandra were attacked, Moira dismisses his claim, reasoning that he came to her for help because he could no longer trust his own mind, and that no-one else had been in his room. She witnessed him flying out of a window, and he's a paraplegic. Unless she thinks he somehow catapulted himself out the window, she shouldn't have been so dismissive of his claim. Not to mention the damage to the room, including the bed being thrown against the TV. (00:05:21)

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
