Carrie picture

Character mistake: During the opening scene, the girls are playing volleyball. The score was announced, and game point was announced. When the ball is served it comes to Sue, she hits the ball twice, in succession, which is against the rules, she is on the same team as Carrie. This should have ended the game, but the point continues, the team they are both on gets the ball over the net, then it comes back, right at Carrie, she does not hit the ball, then the game is over, and a few of her teammates can be heard saying various insults about her inability to play the game and so forth. If they would have been playing by the rules, the ball should have never even came to Carrie.

Taxi Driver picture

Character mistake: When Travis is buying guns, Easy Andy (the gun salesman) makes a few errors. Firstly, he states that the Smith and Wesson 61 Escort is a "Colt .25 Automatic." Secondly, he calls the Astra Constable a ".380 Walther." And lastly, he talks about the ".380 Walther" saying "during World War II, they used this gun to replace the P38. Just given out to officers." This is also incorrect.

The Bad News Bears picture

Character mistake: After Loopis makes that bumbling bad play in right field that costs the Bears a game, in the dugout Tanner harasses Loopis and says "we would have won if it weren't for you." This statement is incorrect because the score was tied 0-0 in the last inning when Loopis made that bad play to make them lose 1-0... so although the Bears may have had a chance to win if extra innings were played and this play DID make them lose, a "win" wasn't guaranteed the way Tanner came out saying it.

Character mistake: The first victim gets smacked in the face by the Mistress, and then in subservient fashion holds her hand and kisses it asking if she hurt her hand hitting him. Thing is, she slapped him with the right hand and he is kissing the left better. (00:01:40)
