Corrected entry: The pitcher behind Mac and Charlie has beer in the bottom. After Frank offers to throw the pigskin and Mac and Charlie need to come up with an excuse, the pitcher behind them is empty. (00:13:15)

The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020)
Other mistake: At the beginning, Jack reveals that he has lots of food allergies and asks the bartender to prepare his shake lactose free, implying that he is allergic to dairy. But later he eats a snowman cookie that Mrs. Claus reveals has butter in it.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Being lactose intolerant does not mean you're allergic to dairy. It means you lack the enzyme (lactase) needed to break down lactose and usually results in gas or an upset stomach. However, butter is high in fat and low in lactose, so a lot of lactose intolerant people can eat butter or food containing butter just fine.

Replicas (2018)
Corrected entry: Just as the accident is happening and the branch penetrates the wife's abdomen, she is killed instantly. Her head is leaning back and her eyes are closed. A moment later as Keanu Reeves looks over at her she's wide awake and reacting to something that is about to happen.
Correction: After Mona (the wife) is killed, she's never seen alive or reacting to anything. You're probably confusing Mona with Sophie (the daughter) who wasn't dead yet and reacting to the crash.

Reba (2001)
Corrected entry: In the previous episode Location, Location, Location Kyra says that she wants to move in with Brock and Barbra Jean after he tells her he will try and make it up to her for her losing her trip. But in this episode, the rehash makes it appear that she asks to move in, by adding the line "Dad, there's something I have to tell you." This was never in the other episode at all, and does not make sense considering that Brock offered to make it up to her.
Correction: She does ask to move in. This entry makes no sense.
I think you missed the point of the mistake. The beginning dialog of this episode is suppose to be the ending dialog of the previous episode. But in this episode she says "Dad, there's something I have to tell you" instead of "I already thought of a way" (in response to her dad saying he'll find a way to make it up to her).

NOS4A2 (2019)
Factual error: When they go to 1954, the hamburger drive in says it has frappes. Not invented till '57, and not in the US public eye until at least 45 years later.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: What you're describing is a Greek café frappé made with instant coffee. In New England "Frappe" is what many would consider a milkshake with ice cream in it, and has been around since at least the 50's (Vic's dad even mentions getting frappes in episode 4).

Untamed Heart (1993)
Factual error: The game was supposed to be taking place at the Minnesota North Stars' arena. But the Red Wings were wearing home uniforms, which they only wore at the Joe Louis Arena.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The uniforms are correct. In the NHL, the home team traditionally wears dark uniforms and the visiting team traditionally wears white uniforms. Here, the Red Wings are wearing white uniforms, indicating that they are the visiting team.
From 1970-2003, NHL home teams wore their white jerseys, so the uniforms would be wrong. It wasn't until the 2003-2004 season did home teams start wearing their dark uniforms. The scene was shot at the Met Center, but it doesn't seem to be a real home game since during the 1992-1993 season, the North Stars were never ahead of the Red Wings 4-2 at home (but they did win 4-2 in Dec '92 in Detroit). North Stars did have a 4-2 lead at home in game 3 of the 1992 Playoffs, but were in white.
The film's Met Center scene was shot during an actual game in Minnesota in April 1992, which was the 1991-92 season. The North Stars did indeed wear their "road" black jerseys for select home games that 25th Anniversary season. I know this as I was employed by the team at that time.

The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Corrected entry: The initials on Michael and Kay's duvet cover in the Las Vegas assignation attempt are wrong - they say MCF not MCK.

The IT Crowd (2006)
Deliberate mistake: When Roy and Moss are in Jen's office talking about her slipping up, the computer monitor disappears from her table in the wide shots so you can see the actress.

Suggested correction: It's there the whole time. It's a thin monitor and it lines up with Roy's leg, so it might have been hard to see.

Battleship (2012)
Factual error: When Hopper is running from the convenience store you can see Rite Aid in the background. You also see Honolulu police cars in the same scene. There isn't a Rite Aid in Honolulu.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Not sure about this one. Honolulu is on Oahu, so I'm not sure what the police cars correction is, and there are Rite Aid stores on Oahu, and in Honolulu.
Where is (or at least was in 2012) the Rite Aid in Honolulu?
Rite Aid stores are in 18 states, and Hawaii is NOT one of them. I even went to the Rite Aid website and used the "store locator." When I wrote "Honolulu", the result was "no stores within 50 miles." (This would be currently, so the question below about 2012 remains unanswered).

Parenthood (2010)
Fraud Alert - S5-E19
Other mistake: Julia receives a late night call from a credit card company with a Fraud Alert. Julia identified herself as Julia. The rep on the phone referred to her as Mrs. Braverman. The rep has no way of knowing if she is married or not. And, given the fact that she referred Julia as Mrs. Braverman, the rep might have inquired if her husband has access to the card.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Individuals using the term "Ms." or "Mrs." doesn't indicated they think a woman is married or unmarried. I regularly address any female teacher as "Ms.", even if I know they're married. But I know others who use "Mrs." for any teacher, even if they know the teacher is unmarried.
Suggested correction: A credit card company would have a card-holder's marital status on file from his/her application. Credit card companies also have any authorized user (s) on file, so would know her husband was not an authorized user (if that's the case).

Legends of Tomorrow (2016)
Character mistake: After Ray Palmer says he's an Eagle Scout, he says to Leonard Snart, "be helpful to others, scout's motto." The Boy Scout's motto (including Eagle Scouts) is "Be Prepared." "To help others at all times" is part of the Scout's oath, but that's different than its motto and not something an Eagle Scout would mix up.

Suggested correction: It was a joke, that applied to the situation. Wasn't meant to be literal.
There is zero indication of any joke, implied or otherwise, especially since he could have correctly said "oath."

Con Air (1997)
Character mistake: When Cyrus and Johnny-23 are talking they both pronounce the Spanish version of Johnny-23's name as Juaniyo. That is not how Johnny is pronounced in Spanish. It is pronounced Juanito with a T. Normally I would have chalked it up as a language barrier but Danny Trejo is of Spanish ancestry. He should have known better. (00:20:41)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: "Juanillo" is another, though less common, diminutive of Juan.
I can appreciate you doing a google search but you would have noticed in your google search that the Juanillo you speak or is predominantly an Asian name and is not a translation of Johnny in Spanish. I am Spanish and can assure you that it was a mistake as Juanito is the correct pronunciation. Thank you for doing your due diligence however he was not playing the role if an Asian.
It should be pointed out that there's a town in Mexico called Juanillo and Juanillo Beach is in the Dominican Republic. So it is a word Hispanic and Latinos might be aware of.
Don't know why the previous guy said that Juanillo is not a common name in Spain... I am Spanish and know 2 guys that go by the name Juanillo. I would say that not only Juanillo and Juanito, but also Juanele are commonly used in Spain and probably Latin America as well.

Growing Up Brady (2000)
Other mistake: Either there was or wasn't a 5-year contract from the onset. At first, Sherwood told Bob, "It's just a pilot episode. If we get picked up for a series." Narrator Barry Williams said his agent called to tell him "the network picked up the Brady Bunch for a full season." Season One ended but Sherwood didn't call "until the last minute" to tell the cast they "would be coming back to a second season." Later, Sherwood told Bob that he knew when he did the pilot that he signed a 5-year contract. (00:05:50 - 00:21:40)

Suggested correction: Those two things are not mutually exclusive and that's not how it works in the television industry. Actors usually have to sign a test option agreement with the studio prior to the pilot being picked up (sometimes even before auditioning). This ensures the studio that the actor is committed to the project long term should the pilot be picked up, but signing the contract agreement doesn't guarantee the pilot will be picked up. A 5-year test option agreement seems pretty standard.
I'm aware of such contracts - and surely Florence Henderson would have also been required to sign a five-year agreement, but there (conveniently) was no mention of this.

Man of Steel (2013)
Corrected entry: This is the first live-action film in which General Zod doesn't use his trademark order "Kneel before Zod."
Correction: When does Zod say this line in the 1978 "Superman" movie? The closest he gets is "you will bow down before me, Jor-El." Of the four live action films Zod is in, he says this line in only "Superman II."

Middle Game - S1-E4

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: If you're talking about the "Aztec Palace" sign, it's not a mistake. The sign is on top of the building in bright lights so that if you're facing the front of the building, the sign is the correct way. But since there's nothing on the back of the sign, if you look at it from behind (such as in this shot), the letters would be backwards.

Family Guy (1999)
Factual error: Joe's plan to trick OJ into confessing to the 1994 murders is moot since, having been acquitted, the double jeopardy provision would prevent him from being tried for the same crime twice, and as a cop, Joe would know that.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The plan to get OJ to confess had nothing to do with getting the confession, so he could be arrested or tried again. And at this point, the civil trial already found OJ "responsible" for the murders. Since OJ has always maintained his innocence, getting a confession on tape would just be big news.

Top Gun (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Cougar is looking at the picture of his wife and child, it's a girl. When he is interviewed by the Captain, he says "I almost orphaned him..." (00:10:14 - 00:13:03)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: He actually says "I almost orphaned 'em out there today" ie. Orphaned THEM not him.
Except he follows it up with "I've never even seen him." So he's talking about a boy. And before the orphan line he said "wife and kid", not "wife and kids", implying only one child.
And he couldn't have orphaned them anyway if their mother is still living. Dude was all shook up and couldn't think straight.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Continuity mistake: When Alice falls through the "ceiling" in the round room there is a hole created by her coming through. The room rotates 180° so the ceiling becomes the floor. Through some miraculous occurrence the hole in the floor is no longer there. (00:13:27 - 00:13:55)

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)
Continuity mistake: At the cook out Brian introduces Helen as his kids' aunt, but introduces her as his cousin to Orlando.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Any person can be introduced as an aunt or uncle to kids, it's seen as a term of familiarity to children. So even if she's introduced as a cousin to Orlando, she can still be considered an "aunt" to her cousin's children.
