Kidnap (2017)

Stupidity: Once on the freeway, cars are beeping at Karla's erratic driving (trying to catch up to Frankie's kidnapper). She doesn't put her headlights or emergency flashers on, which could have helped alert other drivers of a problem and avoid causing accidents. She should've also used her horn to draw more attention, hoping someone would call 911 (much sooner than occurred). Stopping to flag a motorist to dial 911 would have been safer than speeding and risking her own life as well as others'. (00:13:50 - 00:19:00)

Kidnap (2017)

Stupidity: Karla tells her son Frankie that she has to take a phone call "over there" (away from the carnival crowd) where she'll be able to hear. Instead of keeping a close eye on him, she tells him not to move and talks on the phone with her back turned to Frankie. She does occasionally say "Marco" and listen for him to reply "Polo", but that's not how to watch a 6 year old? child. Karla should have also previously given him a "secret word" that a person must know before he will go with that person. (00:09:52)

Room (2015)

Plot hole: Ma rolling Jack in the rug (to pretend he was dead and then could escape from the truck when being taken away) would have suffocated him. She even put his hands over his mouth before rolling him up in the rug. (00:42:10 - 00:43:15)

Phobias (2021)

Other mistake: The way the man fell onto the hood and then the road, landing on his back, after Sami hit him from behind while going fast defies physics. He also landed too far to the left of the driver's side for being hit with the middle of the front bumper. (00:35:41)

Phobias (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Sami was having car problems, her bangs were mostly messy and longer, but suddenly neatly combed straight down a few times, such as after she slammed the hood shut, saw a shadow, and quickly turned around. (00:30:10)

Twist (2021)

Trivia: This modern version of "Oliver Twist" has an interesting twist to it: He is a traceur or parkourist (in addition to other things, such as a graffiti artist). The scenes that include roof topping, scaling walls, and traversing obstacles are worth watching.

Skyfire (2019)

Revealing mistake: A lot of the CGI was quite good and, even if not totally realistic, was interesting and exciting to watch. However, the man supposedly rappelling (or abseiling) down the mountainside was obviously not there - his feet didn't touch the mountain. (00:36:10)

Skyfire (2019)

Other mistake: At times when everything was covered in ashes, Jeeps being driven over ashes had clean tires (black tread). One Jeep that was airborne for a couple seconds (coming out of a fire) had clean tires, but the tires later got dirty. (01:04:27 - 01:09:46)

Skyfire (2019)

Continuity mistake: Xiao Meng spent some time wrapping her father's (Professor Tao) left hand, going around his wrist/thumb and under his thumb (diagonally across his palm). When Tao was blown off the bridge and landed in the dirt, the bandage was NOT wrapped around his thumb (just around his wrist). (01:12:33 - 01:16:03)

Cosmic Sin (2021)

Continuity mistake: The amount and color intensity (redness) of the blood on General Ford's facial cuts (nose bridge, cheek, forehead), as well as their precise locations, are not consistent and someĀ° of healing appear to be chronologically out of order (e.g, freshly bled cut, scar, freshly bled cut). (00:57:32 - 00:59:34)

Cosmic Sin (2021)

Stupidity: The "body armor" General Ford and others wear is very bulky and appears to be quite heavy with all the attachments (e.g, flashlights on shoulders). With the protective suit protruding perhaps 8", it would most likely restrict/slow movement, contrary to what soldiers need. Moreover, the body may be protected, but there's no protection for the face/head, leaving them exposed/vulnerable. Today's products tend to be lighter, thinner, and stronger, so would be expected in the future.

The Toybox (2018)

Stupidity: The broken-down RV was on a slight upward grade. Olivia asked her mom if she could use the jump rope, and her mom said "yes" but to stay where she could see her. Olivia went behind the RV's rear bumper to jump. Her mother was sitting along the side of the RV, facing away and could not see Olivia. Even if a vehicle/RV isn't broken down or being worked on, children should not play behind vehicles. Olivia's mom ignored her and the out-of-control RV slipped into reverse and ran over Olivia. (00:45:04)

The Toybox (2018)

Continuity mistake: Charles managed to veer right to get out of the out-of-control RV's path. Seconds later, Charles is moving out of the RV's path again. (01:14:30)

The Toybox (2018)

Continuity mistake: When the knife goes through Jay's neck, Jay is sitting at the table and his lower right arm, bent at the elbow, is on the table; his body stays upright. Next, Jay has fallen to the side and his head is setting along the window. Later, Jay's head is resting on his right elbow, and his entire right arm is straight across the table in front of him. After death, it is possible Jay's head with the knife through his neck could stay upright, but these TWO new positions are at least one too many. (01:11:57 - 01:22:02)

The Toybox (2018)

Continuity mistake: The curtains at Olivia's window are largely see-through silk/linen? With a pattern, plus a solid brown short valance with brown/white horizontally striped trim. Next, there are no visible curtains. When Olivia has her upper body slightly out the window, the "thicker" curtains are a solid brown with a pattern and there's no sign of the valance. Olivia is also where the right pane was or would be (varies) and the window is only half open - but not the left pane as before. (00:10:45 - 00:11:45)

The Toybox (2018)

Other mistake: The RV's cassette player has some odd features (some of which I've never seen on a cassette player). There's a "push button" for "loudness", not "volume." There is another "push button" labeled "MO ST" - not sure what these mean. The slot for the cassette tape looks wide enough for a VHS tape. (00:11:15)

Suggested correction: There's nothing wrong with the stereo. The cassette slot is the normal size for that configuration on an 80's cassette car stereo (they're in an '87 Suncrest). The loudness button was also a common feature for that era. It boosts low and high frequencies at lower volumes (the stereo still has a volume knob). MO stands for "mono" and ST stands for "stereo."

The slot looked way too wide, even for the 1980s. I would have guessed that the "ST" meant stereo, but wouldn't that be referring to the AM/FM radio, not the cassette player? (Thanks for the "MO" clarification). [Features were still on the odd side.].

The Toybox (2018)

Other mistake: After Steve slides open the middle window near Olivia, a small puff of air and some small waves of the right curtain panel can be seen, but not nearly as much or strong as would be expected. The left curtain panel was largely stationary. With the window completely open, the right and left panels of the thin curtains should be blowing inside the RV at an angle or even be flapping outside of the RV. (00:10:45)

The Toybox (2018)

Continuity mistake: There are brown pleated followed by yellow pleated curtains on the driver's side window when Charles takes a sip of coffee. The camera shifts to Steve (in the front passenger seat) who says, "Hey, pop. Thanks for doing this." When the camera returns to Charles (pop), the brown pleated curtain is no longer there but a fire extinguisher is in its place. (00:09:06)

The Toybox (2018)

Stupidity: Drake's bike fell over on the sidewalk perpendicular to the parked RV, not far from the middle door. It would've been hard for someone to miss seeing the bike when near or in the RV. When Steve went to get his dog Bentley, Drake's mom drove up and asked if he'd seen her son who was riding a bike but didn't come home last night. Steve didn't bother telling Drake's mom he was going on vacation, but said he'll "keep an eye out." Steve still didn't see the bike on his way back to the RV. (00:04:30 - 00:07:00)

The Toybox (2018)

Stupidity: When Olivia said, "Momma. It's hot", she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt over her overalls and shirt. Her mom, wearing a sweater over a tunic top, replied, "I know, baby" and asked Steve to turn the A/C on in the RV, but the A/C didn't work. Instead of removing some layers, Steve opened some windows. Jay complained how hot it was, but he wore a hooded sleeveless sweatshirt over his T-shirt (and never took it off, even when outside in the desert). (00:09:31 - 00:46:00)
