The System - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Nicholas impersonating Marley is going through the security cameras of the casino (none of which catching the 'double Marley' on camera exposing the trick, conveniently) there is one that follows with a cinematic motion the exact movements of the person answering the phone. They are all static cameras, just that one arbitrarily moves, without Nicholas doing anything. (00:36:50)

Malibu Express (1985)

Other mistake: A long-nailed woman types the opening credits in a computer, but in a couple of instances (the Playboy Playmates, for example) you can see her type away when the credits page is already complete and the names are already there. (00:01:00)

Man of Violence (1970)

Other mistake: In the opening credits, character actor Andreas Malandrinos has his last name (as it happened not infrequently throughout his career) misspelled as "Melandrinos" (00:02:55)

The Killer - S1-E1

Other mistake: We are of course not privy to the protocol of the secret service organization Jim Phelps is a member of; however, while he is at his own place choosing at his leisure the team members, Jim to pick Nicholas types "KJ" on the laptop, to pick Casey he types "PK", then to pick Max and Grant he just clicks a TV remote. Whatever system they are using, does not seem to make any internal sense.

Hard Times (1975)

Other mistake: Bronson arrives in town hitching a ride in a boxcar. He hops off and begins walking along a different track. In the next shot, you can see in the background the same freight train he left, already moving in the opposite direction. (00:02:10)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Other mistake: Poirot saves his entire company except his captain - that's what it was stated, although it's unclear how that can be the case since the explosion was massive and left Poirot disfigured and had several other companions close. That's besides the point though, which is; the captain walked into a trip-wire across the bridge, but earlier shots showed the Germans (several of which were waiting on the same side the Belgians come from) retreating in haste, running exactly where the captain walked. The trap would work only if the Germans were waiting on the other side of the river. There was no chance for them to arm the trap during their hasty escape.

Other mistake: In this movie Korg has two biological fathers (he calls them that way); his race appears to be formed by males that reproduce by holding hands in lava pits. However, the first time Thor met Korg in Thor: Ragnarok, his backstory was that he started a revolution that failed because just his "mum and her boyfriend" showed up.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: It is possible among the Kronans, that one of the males is still called mum and use female pronouns. It's also possible that despite the fact 2 males can breed, it does not exclude females from existing.

Suggested correction: I see no reason why Korg couldn't have had a mother figure in his life, and not necessarily being of the same race. Technically speaking, he never specifically stated that his mom is who conceived or gave birth to him. I have no doubt that the writers didn't plan this, but it also doesn't create a contradiction.

Super Robot Wars V

Super Robot Wars V mistake picture

Other mistake: The profile of commander Okita misses a space when his education is mentioned ("Healso holds a doctorate").

The Nice Guys (2016)

Other mistake: The Nice Guys have just dropped the disfigured body onto the fancy dinner table of someone. They run away, but before the camera cuts away you can see Ryan Gosling is trying hard not to laugh. (00:47:15)

Being a DIK

Other mistake: When you tell Josy that you have been admitted to college, the liquor on the shelf "Three Amigo Tequila" is poorly textured; the first and last letters of 'Tequila' do not fit the label and go out of frame.

Sammo

The Serene Squall - S1-E7

Other mistake: The episode begins with the Enterprise unable to contact in timely fashion the Federation, because there are 2 days of delay in communications, which puts Pike in a bind since apparently he needs authorization to get in non-Federation space (which kinda undermines the premise of the show). However, later in the episode, the Enterprise contacts the Vulcan facility on Omicron Lyrae without the slightest difficulty or delay.

Sammo

Other mistake: The scene in the semi-underground wrestling match features some old time territory wrestlers, namely Professor Toru Tanaka and one of the many evil Russians (he was Canadian, really) of pro wrestling, Alexis Smirnoff. In the end credits though, his name gets feminized as Alexia Smirnoff. (01:27:55)

Other mistake: When the alligator crawls in the sewers after the helicopter scene, the footage is directly ported from the previous movie. (01:22:15)

Sammo

Other mistake: David and the others help out of the sewers one of the alligator hunters. David asks him "who's still down there" and he says "Hawk", but there were other 3 people (relatives and friends, even) besides him; Hawk is the last one alive, sure, but he can't know that. (00:56:55)

Super Robot Wars V

Other mistake: During scenario 36 ("Who Inherits the Stars"), Kamille has a scripted battle against Jerid that prompts the activation of the Bio Sensor animation, even if the player already managed to trigger it.

Sammo

Other mistake: David's wife is looking inside the microscope at what she describes as a protein found in the saliva. It does not quite look like a protein, and in fact it's a reused (it's exactly the same) microscope image from the previous movie, where Marisa identified it as" a section of the pituitary glans of a Lhasa Apso." (00:12:00 - 00:51:25)

The Intern (2015)

Other mistake: Jules is watching the activity on their website in real time with her staff, over a map of the United States. It's a map that dynamically changes every few moments, with the views stat increasing by a few units per second, and icons of shopping carts popping over the map. That's in close-up, because when Ben arrives and the screen is in the foreground slightly out of focus, the page is static, no new views and no little cart landmarks for the duration of his report. (01:03:20 - 01:03:45)

Sammo

Other mistake: Daric asks Ben to do "by tomorrow" a cheat sheet and get a 50 for it. Ben angrily crumples the sheet. At leas a day passes by, but there' a scene follows and Ben returns that same cheat sheet, neatly folded. He could have course have just copied it back on a pristine sheet, but he certainly didn't deliver it on the day he was asked to, but Daric makes no comment about it. (00:23:10)

Ninja III: The Domination mistake picture

Other mistake: Christie starts killing people at the funeral, and those in attendance start running away. When it shows a couple hiding behind a car, the woman is corpsing at best, the man is flat-out laughing. (01:05:15)

Sammo

Other mistake: When the ninja slices at point-blank the obese cop in the pool room, the make-up used is a single strip of blood. Obviously they wouldn't show a graphic dismemberment or decapitation, but the man here practically dies from a cut on the cheek. Men do more harm to themselves shaving. (00:38:50)
