Talk Radio (1988)

Talk Radio mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: When Barry is on the phone with Kent for the 2nd time (right before Barry invites Kent to the station), we see Dan (Alec Baldwin) in the booth trying to get Barry to hang up on Kent. Dan holds up a sign that says "dump HIM." Problem is, we are looking at a reflection of the sign, so the sign was actually written backwards, as a mirror image.

Talk Radio (1988)

Trivia: On the second night of the show, Kent calls back. He chats with Barry, then asks to come to the station. The very next caller is a guy named Joe, who says that Kent "needs a good bust in the chops." Joe also threatens to come to the station with harmful intent. Both callers are portrayed by the same actor.

Trivia: All of the classic Disney Princesses (Jasmine, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel, etc) have a cameo. Cinderella and Snow White were recast, as their original actors are deceased. They also recast Aurora, as the lady who voiced her had long since retired. All of the other princesses featured were voiced by their original actors.

Daredevil (2015)

Resurrection - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matt is recovering in the orphanage, his bandages around his torso keep changing position. They go from just barely below his nipples, to covering them completely, to way below them in the same scene.

Jackie Brown (1997)

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene towards the end of the movie when Louis is explaining to Ordell what happened to Melanie, they are riding in a van. Several times during this scene, if you look out Ordell's window, you can see the trailer that the van is riding on (as well as the lighting/camera equipment used) in the reflection of many of the storefront windows.

Trivia: When Han and Chewbacca are introducing themselves to one another, Han says "Chewbacca" for the first and only time in the franchise. He never refers to him by that name again in any of the other Star Wars movies.

Other mistake: Director Krennic is shorter than Tarkin in their scene together. Krennic comes up to Tarkin's ears at best. Krennic is also shown to be about the same amount shorter than Darth Vader, roughly coming up to Vader's ears as well. But as shown in A New Hope, Tarkin is considerably shorter than Darth Vader. So by what was shown in A New Hope, Krennic should be much shorter, perhaps coming up to Vader's chest.

Cars 3 (2017)

Trivia: When Cruise brings the mobile simulator to the beach, it makes the classic Apple startup sound that Mac computers make. Apple founder Steve Jobs funded Pixar in its early days and was a major reason for the company's success. The same sound can also be heard in Pixar's Wall-E.

Hitch (2005)

Trivia: Robinne Lee plays a past lover of Hitch, who we only see in flashbacks. The same actress is also in the movie Seven Pounds, and again plays a past lover of a Will Smith character, and again is only seen in flashbacks.

48 Hrs. (1982)

Trivia: Sonny Landham plays Billy. He meets his end when he is faced with an opponent who out matches him. But right before he does, he bravely takes out a large knife and decides to challenge his opponent anyway, coming to a rather quick demise. In the movie Predator, Sonny Landham again plays a character named Billy, who meets his demise in a very similar fashion. Shirtless and brave again, he brandishes what appears to be the same large knife to challenge an opponent who has the upper hand. And loses again.
