Deception (2008)

Factual error: When McQuarry transfers the money, 'Banco National de San Sebastian' appears on screen. It should read 'Nacional' and 'Sebastián'. Further on in the movie, it is spelled correctly.

Deception (2008)

Deliberate mistake: Wyatt is killed in a park next to El Prado museum (which can be seen in the background). Then S and McQuarry cross the street and appear next to where the bank was. This speeds the pace of the movie, but truth is that the building of the bank and El Prado are 20 minutes walking distance away from each other.

Deception (2008)

Continuity mistake: Wyatt exits the bank and the curb is wet. The angle swaps to a close-up and it's dry. Then back to a wide angle and it's wet again.

Deception (2008)

Factual error: In Madrid, S takes a taxi with a letter W on its side. In Madrid, the letters stand for the weekdays the taxi is off-duty (except for Wednesdays, which is symboled with an X). There are no weekdays spelled with a W in Spain.

Continuity mistake: When the alligator is born, in close-up his head is up and standing out, but in full shot it is lying down. This keeps changing back and forth.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)

Other mistake: When the film starts, Dolittle drinks from a yellow cup, the angle changes to behind his shoulder and it's perfectly obvious the cup is empty. Then, despite this, he keeps sipping and moving his mouth all the time.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)

Continuity mistake: When the pigeon defecates on the doctor's face, the poo falls on the side of his mouth. Half a second later the mouth is clean and the poo is all over his chin, nowhere near where it fell before, so it couldn't have slid down there.

Continuity mistake: When Dolittle arrives at the woods, right before he parks, the side of his car is totally dusty and dirty. When he steps off, after a change of angles, it is spotless.
