Continuity mistake: When Dan was walking along the side of his grain truck toward Allen's car, the grain truck's length was much shorter (about half) compared to its length on the open road. Also, the vertical loops on the side of the grain truck turned into straight flat rails. (00:14:16 - 00:17:25)

All Eyes (2022)
Continuity mistake: When Allen was following Don's grain truck, there was a tarp or cover over the truck's bed, but in the aerial view of Allen riding in the back of the truck, there was no cover over the cargo area. (00:13:41 - 00:16:46)

My Best Friend's Exorcism (2022)
Continuity mistake: The piece of paper that had "MIN" written on it suddenly changed from being in the corner of the table to being on the left side of the planchette (heart-shaped pointer), which was near the center of the Ouija board and table. (00:10:20)

Darkness in Tenement 45 (2020)
Revealing mistake: The candles on the long dinner table are numerous and clustered, but linear in front views of people seated at the table. Based on how the candles are disorderly arranged, it would not be possible to show a couple or few candles spaced apart in front of one person. (00:05:35)

A Mother's Crime (2017)
Continuity mistake: The number of candles on Becky's 10th birthday cake and how many were lit changed a few times. When Nikki was carrying the cake over to the table, none of the candles were lit, then suddenly about 9 were. When the cake was placed in front of Becky, fewer candles were lit (maybe 6), but the number increased again (to 9 or 10). (00:06:10)

A Mother's Crime (2017)
Continuity mistake: After Danielle stabbed Junior, his papers were by his feet. When Junior's mom found him, the papers were by his hands. The knife was also closer to his feet compared to when Danielle dropped it onto the floor. (00:03:39 - 00:04:30)

The Thaw (2009)
Continuity mistake: The position of the rifle David [Val Kilmer] dropped was at a different angle after he backed up and then walked toward it. (00:05:38)

Mindcage (2022)
Factual error: The Artist lit a match and candle in his cell. Both are contraband in prison (especially for someone scheduled to be executed). Matches pose a risk of fire/arson and deliberate burning injury or death to a person. Candle wax can be used to prevent cell and other prison doors from locking, creating an escape risk. Also, The Artist's prison cell appeared to be much bigger than a master bedroom (standard size 14'x16'). Prison cells are around 6'x8' or 7'x12'. (01:17:45)
24th Feb 2023
Mindcage (2022)
Revealing mistake: The cell bars appear to be about 4" apart, but are much wider to accommodate the width of The Artist's face/head when there's a close-up of him next to the bars. (01:13:50 - 01:15:09)
24th Feb 2023
Mindcage (2022)
Continuity mistake: When The Artist is talking on the phone to Detective Mary Kelly, sometimes his long, wavy hair behind the phone is flat and other times fluffy (extending wider than the phone). (00:14:45)

The Death & Life of John F. Donovan (2018)
Plot hole: When Rupert brought his "secret pen pal" letters from Hollywood movie star John to school, they were stolen by some classmate bullies (and apparently never recovered). Rupert would have been around age 11 (possibly 12) at the time. It is inconceivable that a child could recall enough details from the letters to write a book about them 10 years later.

The Dummy Factor (2020)
Deliberate mistake: Noel's mother was removing a tray of cookies from the oven as Noel was walking into the kitchen. Noel was able to pick up a hot cookie from the also hot tray without burning his fingers, but he did burn his tongue after taking a bite. Even IF Noel could touch a cookie without burning his fingers, a hot cookie is not easily removed from the tray and it would collapse - not hold its shape (unless overcooked to a crisp). (00:16:43)

The Dummy Factor (2020)
Continuity mistake: The grilled cheese sandwich was charred while it was still cooking, but not when Jason's dad served it to him. (00:02:00)

Good People (2014)
Revealing mistake: When Tom and Anna were jogging on a dirt path, the woman going in the opposite direction who passes them on the right would be walking straight into the kids (and woman) who were running past them on the left - but the woman on the right disappeared behind Tom's back where the collision would have occurred if she were really there. [Use of a green screen]. (00:29:25)

Good People (2014)
Plot hole: Tom and Anna assumed the £220,000 they found in the suspended ceiling belonged to their deceased tenant Ben (on disability and renting their basement), but it more reasonably could have been hidden there by the previous homeowner - Tom's grandmother. (Some people live frugally while hoarding cash.) If they inherited the house, they also could have believed they inherited the hidden cash, so did not have to worry about someone looking for the money or getting into trouble for keeping it. (00:14:30 - 00:15:15)

Good People (2014)
Plot hole: Tom told I.D. Halden, "My grandmother passed a few years ago and we inherited the family house." If there was a mortgage, who was paying it for a couple years? And if the house was inherited, there would not be a landlord, they would not be paying "rent", and owners do not get served with an eviction notice. (There was no mention of a legitimate reason, such as unpaid taxes.) There's a failure to discern home ownership (with a mortgage) from renting a house (which is not "inherited").
Suggested correction: It seems to be that it is about two different houses, the rented one they already live in, and the inherited one which is renovated.

Detective Knight: Rogue (2022)
Plot hole: Detective Knight's law enforcement jurisdiction lies within L.A. county (with limited exceptions, such as "hot pursuit"). It is absurd that he would be given permission, transportation, time away from L.A. duties, funds, etc. to go to New York - outside of his geographical jurisdiction - to continue an "investigation" based on a hunch about the robbers' identities.

The Mystery of Her (2022)

Hurricane Streets (1997)
Plot hole: Marcus told Melena he lived in New Mexico with his parents until he was 5 years old: "My dad died in a car accident when I was five... and my mom got caught smuggling people into the country, so she got 10 years [in prison]." Even though Marcus did not know at the time the real reason his mother was in prison, the murder must have occurred in New Mexico, so it doesn't make sense that she would be serving time in a New York prison. (00:33:20 - 00:34:21)

Detective Knight: Rogue (2022)
Continuity mistake: The clock on the wall behind Casey jumped from 10:45 to 11:00 while he was talking to his wife and daughter. At times, the clock appeared to have 3-4 hands and when a hand should have been visible behind his back pointing at "12", no hands could be seen. (00:19:16 - 00:19:46)
