Morning Comes - S2-E8

Factual error: It's a common thing in shows dealing in law enforcement to see a cop kicking open a suspect's door in one try. Doors aren't that easy to break open in real life. This is why cops in the real world use battering rams or a sledgehammer for this purpose. Even a door that is hollow could lead to the cop kicking his foot straight through instead of forcing the door open, and a door with a solid frame is more likely to lead to the cop sustaining an injury.

Question: When Frank is writing Jane a letter from prison, we see a flashback of his former fiancé running up to a tiny house only for Frank to open the door and knock her off the cliff. Is this a spoof of any particular movie?

The Junior Mint - S4-E20

Deliberate mistake: When George is watching Home Alone, the sound effects and music that are heard aren't actually in the film.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: This film is infamous for an onset altercation between Christian Bale and cinematographer Shane Hurlbut. Hurlbut walked onto the set during the filming of a scene, which led to Bale - known for being an intense method actor - going on a profanity-laced tirade against Hurlbut.

Trivia: Spider-Man asking Doctor Strange to cast a spell in order to make people forget that he is Peter Parker is similar to the comics storyline "One More Day." After the events of "Civil War" where Spider-Man revealed his secret identity to the world, he made a deal with Mephisto to save Aunt May's life in exchange for Mephisto nullifying Peter's marriage to Mary Jane Watson. As part of the deal, Mephisto erased everyone's memory of Spider-Man being Peter Parker.

Question: The trivia page on IMDB says Nicolas Cage's hairpiece took three hours to apply every day. If this is true, why would it take three hours to apply a hairpiece? Don't they just use adhesive to bond it to the skin? And why would they apply it everyday instead of having him wear it for the duration of the shoot and adjusting it as needed?

Stay Out Of The Basement (2) - S1-E13

Stupidity: When the real Dr. Brewer is found in the basement, he has duct tape over his mouth and needs his daughter to remove it for him. His hands are tied around the wrist, but not behind his back, so he could have easily removed the tape from his mouth himself long before he was found.

Trivia: This film sees the return of Abomination for the first time since 2008's The Incredible Hulk. His physical appearance is also much closer to the comics than it was in the aforementioned film.

Factual error: When Drake is about to go into the Dracula shop, you can see a marquee that says "Hastings, V6B 1H6" indicating it is in Hastings, Vancouver, British Columbia. Later in the scene when he throws the man through the window, the sign next to the window mentions Canada's Labour Party, and also says "Canadian International" on it. The movie was filmed in Vancouver, but is supposed to take place in an unspecified city in the United States, given that the FBI is trying to bring Blade down, plus the chief of police mentioning the vampires are pulling the homeless off the streets of America. (00:48:40 - 00:50:25)

Question: If Blade knew the bomb on the back of Reinhardt's head wasn't actually a dud like Scud believed it to be, why didn't he detonate it and kill Reinhardt instead of using it to kill Scud? Surely Reinhardt is a bigger threat than Scud. Blade could kill Scud with his bare hands if he wanted to.

Trivia: Blade is the only character in the film from the original comics. All other characters were created for the film, or created for the first film in Whistler's case.
