Grand Isle (2019)

Factual error: The movie is set in 1988, but the hurricane mentioned ("Jodie") is from 1977. (00:15:20)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Walter pushes his wife against the bedpost. They have their verbal sparring, and then he caresses her. Her hair is spread differently, more abundantly, in front of her right shoulder. (00:14:35)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Fancy opens the decanter and picks it up with her left hand, the lid in her right. She then pours for her husband with the decanter in her right and the lid in her left. (00:11:40)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Fancy does her sexy stroll singing "They Can't Take That Away from Me." She gets to the decanter and with a pop she pulls the lid in a close-up. You can see her motion rattles the leaves of the plant on the table, but in the next shot they are still, as if nothing happened. (00:11:35)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Nicolas Cage walks Buddy to the fence. He lights up a huge cigar which he holds in the left hand when he asks "Can you fix it?" and that appears in his right in the shot from the doorway. (00:09:10)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Buddy just tried to pull into a Ponzi scheme a guy at the diner's. He sits down and talks to his wife. Notice that before the first cut he switches grip on the stack of papers, but in the reverse shot he's back holding them like at the beginning. (00:06:50)

Void's Calling

Character mistake: In one of the initial compliments to Kagera, she mentions that when a man has courage and silver tongue, it's a dangerous combination "For a womEn."

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Plot hole: Contrary to any other version (including the novel), here the mastermind behind the murder realises in timely fashion that burning the letter was a mistake, it was not actually part of the plan. With this change, they'd have still all the time in the world to go back to the compartment and get the burnt remains, but they simply do not.

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the equivalent of Miss Debenham tells the Colonel that reaching the 12 people figure might be difficult, her hands and the secretarys are in a different position compared to the previous shot (hers are raised, his are crossed in a different pattern). (00:45:45)

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Stupidity: The part when the Colonel and the governess pose as journalists does not make sense. It's far-fetched enough that after a lengthy interview about the culprit's fortune the topic of his family never came up, considering it was one of the main goals and an ideal question to lead with, but considering that "mr. Todo" does not want a picture taken and has a tight security, there's no way that a photographer carrying a large 1930 camera would have been allowed into the interview room to begin with.

Bang Bang (2014)

Revealing mistake: During the opening, one of the shots showing infographics about the stolen diamond lingers long enough to allow the viewer to spot the most obvious kind of filler text - literally the "Lorem Ipsum."

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The protagonist jumps from a bridge and boards the train to try to save the Professor. When he is walking on the top of the carriages, look at the treetops in the background; the train is stationary. (00:12:00)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Stupidity: To face his very human boss in the movie finale, Don pulls a gun from his coat, a gun that somehow he did not deem necessary to carry around when they were hunting dangerous brainsucking aliens, arming himself with blunt instruments instead. (01:11:25)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Revealing mistake: When the alien creature stabs the rich dude in the skull, supposedly they are in the same room, but behind the xenomorph you can see a background that can't pass for the airplane cabin, looks like a danky cave. Recycled footage from another production. (01:08:35)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: Don swings the golf club at the creature on the bar; the stewardess ducks behind the counter and starts scurrying away. The creature jumps away, but in the next shot the bug jumps up her wazoo while she is standing and facing the counter. She couldn't be in that spot and in that position this fast. (01:04:15)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Other mistake: In the previous episode it was established that the final takes place the day after the semifinals. The kids went right away to the hospital and talked about the match against Musashi, wearing normal clothes, and had a night adventure searching the town left and right. In this episode another day passes by before the final.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Character mistake: In the Italian dub, Hyuga mentions the lesson he learned from "Julian Ross" (Jun Misugi). He never played against him or his team, and was even in a coma during their match. He meant "Philip Callahan" (Hikaru Matsuyama). (00:13:35)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Other mistake: Wakabayashi is holding the ball left from Tsubasa's lame attempt. His hand is positioned differently on the ball between shots, as noticeable from the hexagons. In that shot, his hat also has the wrong name "WGNZO", missing an E. (00:20:25)

21st Apr 2021

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Genzo walks out of the hotel wearing gloves in the long shot, wearing what appear to be miscolored flesh-toned gloves in several shots, and bare hands in the close-up. (00:08:00)
