Flying Monkeys (2013)

Character mistake: When Joan is searching the web looking for information on what monkeys eat, there is a section on the screen that reads "The diet of monkeys varies form fruits, leaves." Obviously the correct word for this sentence should be "from" not "form." (00:36:21)

Flying Monkeys (2013)

Factual error: In "China", when the white American guy shoots the flying monkey out of the air you can see the slide on his pistol locks back. However, he is then able to fire a second shot a few seconds later. (00:32:03)

City of God (2002)

Character mistake: After crashing their car into the bar the Tender Trio attempt to flee on foot but Clipper twists his ankle. Goose says "Goose f***ed up his ankle" accidentally referring to himself but obviously it's Clipper that twisted his ankle. (00:14:59)

Hook (1991)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the school play Moira turns to Peter and says "Watch your daughter, she's stealing the show" and you can see two fathers stood behind Peter filming the play. The shot then changes to a wider angle of the audience and these two men have suddenly stopped filming and their cameras are nowhere to be seen. (00:01:14)

Visible crew/equipment: When Frank, Carissa and Dana are "paying their respects" to Neil Gallagher, Dana pulls a long needle out and Carissa says "What are you doing?" and in the shot then facing Dana you can see the tip of the boom microphone pass by in the top left of the screen.

Salem's Lot (1979)

Trivia: The scenes where the child vampires float around outside or float into the bedrooms of their victims were partly filmed in reverse to make them seem more "unnatural."
