Other mistake: It had been (acid) raining for some time and a puddle along the curb was shown with brown (Fall) leaves in it. If the acid rain was dangerous enough to eat away human flesh, it should have been powerful enough to erode/destroy the fallen leaves soaking in the puddle full of acid rain. (01:02:10)

Stupidity: At the police station, a bucket of tools was left along the wall within a couple inches of the jail cell door where so-called "Amityville Strangler" Joe Gallo was detained. Gallo was able to reach the tools, use something to unlock his cell, and have a weapon - sledgehammer - "to go." (00:46:57 - 00:57:30)

Continuity mistake: The bite marks on Doc's sandwich were inconsistent/contradictory. Doc took a corner bite out of his sandwich, then the sandwich was shown with an additional side bite mark (made off-screen?). When the sandwich was shown again, the distinctive bite marks were gone and the side of the sandwich that had been eaten was straight across. Doc was holding the sandwich in his right hand; after another camera shift, Doc was holding the sandwich in his left hand and the unique side bite mark was back. (00:18:22 - 00:18:48)

Firestarter (2022)

Stupidity: Charlie set her mom's blouse sleeves on fire and mom/Vicky just stood in the same spot, holding her arms (burning sleeves) out in front of her until Andy came and smothered the flames with a blanket. Even children know to "drop and roll" or put fire out by smothering it. (00:22:56)

Trivia: In 1979 rural Texas, gasoline (unleaded) was 65-cents a gallon. The 2022 equivalent would be approximately $2.65 per gallon. The actual average price for a gallon of gasoline in Texas (as of 7/07/22) was $4.34. (00:07:38)

Trivia: * SPOILER * Twenty-eight-year-old Mia Goth ("Maxine") also plays the role of old lady "Pearl." Mia's transformation from a young lady to a very old woman took up to 8 hours in make-up preparation. [See "Pearl Make Up Timelapse" in DVD Special Features].

X (2022)

Deliberate mistake: While walking bare-footed in the barn looking for RJ, Wayne does not raise his feet very high - that is, until he is about to tramp on the nail that is perpendicular to the floor. If Wayne had kept walking like he had been, he might have bumped into the nail or object holding it up, but not got punctured by the nail. (01:06:40)

X (2022)

Continuity mistake: After Pearl stabbed RJ (lying on the ground in front of his van) in the neck a few times, close-ups of the passenger side headlight showed blood splattering/spraying onto the headlight. Even after repeated spraying of blood onto the headlight nearly covering it in blood, front more distant views of the van did not show any noticeable blood on the headlight. The position of RJ on the ground also questions the angle at which the blood had to spray from his neck in order to land on the headlight. (00:59:57)

Monstrous (2022)

Other mistake: Laura's Arizona license plate (G 652P) was, understandably, a combination or blending of the design from Jan 2008 - Apr 2020 (blue/white/yellow horizontal colors) with a serial format closer to that of the mid-1950s, but improper for either time period. The 2008 - 2020 plate serial format was "ABC 1234." Laura's 1955 plate - when the serial format was "A - 12345" - should not have had a letter ("P") on the far right. ("G" could be the code for Gila, Graham, or Greenlee County, but which one?). (01:24:19)

The Contractor (2022)

Factual error: North Carolina prohibits the tattooing of minors (under 18-years-old) and is not a state that allows minors to be tattooed even with prior consent from a parent or guardian. The Fort Bragg army man gave his son (clearly a minor, about 10-years-old) birthday money to pay for the tattoo and his permission to get a tattoo. (00:14:23)

Memory (2022)

Revealing mistake: In the scene wherein Detective Marquez and Senora Borden are drinking wine by the (indoor) pool, the back of Det. Marquez's head is disproportionately large. Front views of Det. Marquez often show his head tilted to the left, but rear views usually do not and his head might even be tilted to the right. Also, Senora Borden's eyes do not appear to be aimed correctly at Det. Marquez's (especially since they are facing each other with heads tilted to the right). Use of stand-in and/or green screen. (01:02:30 - 01:03:10)

Memory (2022)

Continuity mistake: At the FBI office, Vincent's body position while standing next to (or partly behind) the chair changes a few times within about 20 seconds, from most to half to all of his lower body visible. The position of his right arm also changes, from resting it near the edge of the chair's back or closer to the middle. When the camera returns to him, he is usually standing still, not moving or fidgety. (00:26:52)

Memory (2022)

Continuity mistake: Front and side views of the bouquet of flowers do not match. Most obvious is the large orange day lily that sticks out at the top on side views. The flowers also look different (more orange ones) when they are being brought into the patient's room. (00:02:21 - 00:02:53)

Monstrous (2022)

Continuity mistake: Laura's hair was (flipped) above her shoulders when she brought Cody to school. When she was in her car, her hair was much longer, going at least a couple or few inches down her back. Laura's hair was back to its shorter length (above-the-shoulders) when she got to the typing room at work. (00:15:44 - 00:16:06)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Ken and Zoe needed "a vehicle of some kind" and Zoe just happened to see some ATVs in the distance. Zoe pointed straight ahead and then the camera shifted to show the ATVs. However, based on the directions Ken and Zoe walked (straight ahead followed by making a right turn) and the high wall-like shrubs to the right side, Zoe could not have seen the ATVs from where she had been standing. (00:54:14)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: Robert's upper body is leaning against a pillow with his adjustable bed at about a 60° angle, and stays at this angle when there are front views of him. After Paul arrives, views of Paul that include only part of Robert's stomach/torso show Robert lying at a lower angle, closer to 45°. Sometimes, the blanket representing where Robert's stomach would be is all that is included. Robert [Bruce Willis] probably was not present when front views of Paul were filmed. (00:25:09 - 00:25:33)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: At breakfast, Robert's monitor is behind his right shoulder until Paul comes to visit and then the monitor is on the other side of the bed (behind Robert's left shoulder). (00:25:10)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: It isn't clear whether Robert's gunshot wound was an "entrance" or "entrance and exit" and if the nurse or surgeon? wearing scrubs committed a character mistake - "We were worried, given how deep the bullet penetrated" but Sasha "heard the bullet passed through Robert's shoulder." "Penetrating" means the bullet entered but stayed inside the body; "Perforating" means the bullet passed through the body. In general, perforating gunshot wounds tend to be less serious and therefore less "worrisome." (00:06:23 - 00:07:42)

Escape the Field (2022)

Character mistake: Sam told Tyler, "I work 36-hour shifts, so no time for friends or relationships." There might not be Federal regulations restricting the number of hours a nurse may work in a given 24-hour (or 7-day) period, but nurses have to maintain standards of duty/care and working too many consecutive hours would jeopardize her patients. It is recommended that nurses do not work more than 12.5 hours a day or more than three consecutive DAYS of 12-hour shifts. This gives 4 days OFF for relationships. (00:26:50)

Escape the Field (2022)

Continuity mistake: The laceration near Ryan's right eye extends into his cheekbone but it is much shorter and looks closer to his eye several minutes later. (00:08:30 - 00:13:55)
