The 2nd (2020)

Revealing mistake: Vic jumped onto the roof of the white van while it was moving. The van driver started weaving to get Vic off the roof - but Vic could not be seen at all when there was a front view of the van. Even if Vic were lying on the roof, at least part of him should have been visible. (01:04:04)

The 2nd (2020)

Continuity mistake: The white van headed toward the parked truck in the construction zone was about one car length away from colliding. There was a switch to an aerial view and the white van was several car lengths away from the truck. (01:06:51)

The Misfits (2021)

Continuity mistake: The two men (Arabs) sitting at the table in front of Schultz had different amounts of wine in their glasses when the camera "made a 180." Both men had their glasses about half full. After the next camera shift, their glasses returned to their previous levels. The man on the right had about 1" of wine and the man on the left had a trace of wine in his glass. (00:51:28)

Vanguard (2020)

Revealing mistake: As impressive as the CGI lions were, there are almost always giveaways. For example, when Fareeda calls Charlie over and goes to hug him, her left hand and forearm quickly disappear into his mane and go too far in to be realistic. There is also a small but noticeable gap when Charlie's right paw is curled over Fareeda's left shoulder. (00:18:45)

The Unholy (2021)

Factual error: The crow (mechanical at least in part) perching atop the dead tree lacked some details/behaviors that would've been displayed by a real crow. Its tail should have been thinner and longer (not short and wide, although they do fan). It would have repeatedly cawed upon noticing Geary and Fenn approaching to alert family members of potential danger. It would not have straightened its head to watch the men; the dominant eye would be used to see better (monocular vision is better than binocular). (00:04:40)

The Unholy (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Fenn finds the doll in the tree trunk cavity, shadows are cast in several different (contradictory) directions. If Fenn's shadow was in front of him, he was walking west toward the dead tree; north would be to his right. Examples: The tree's trunk and one branch were casting shadows to the south moments earlier and Geary and the tree were casting shadows to the northwest a little later. Geary's shadow was cast westward when Fenn took his photo with the doll. (00:04:28 - 00:06:47)

Crisis (2021)

Continuity mistake: When the "kid" rolls off his sled into the snow, his sled is right behind him and about to hit the leg he was turning over in the air, but an aerial view shows the sled's tracks stop about 10' before the kid. In the aerial view, the sled is facing and headed toward the cliff, not ending up perpendicular to the cliff as the ground view show. Also from the aerial view, when the "kid" turns his leg around in the air, the sled is already stopped above, not about to ram him. (00:02:50)

The Misfits (2021)

Other mistake: Narrating, Ringo said "Let me be clear. I never steal from people who don't deserve it." He was in a bank's safety deposit room, which was full of hundreds (if not thousands) of safety deposit boxes. Ringo was selecting specific boxes from among those along the wall, but he couldn't know whose boxes they were. (00:02:44)

The Gateway (2021)

Plot hole: Mike was given a conditional release from prison (on parole) and could be returned to prison if he violated the conditions of parole. Associating with known criminals, taking/ selling illegal drugs, domestic violence or other problems would constitute a violation. Mike assaulted and threatened Dahlia - more than enough "bad behavior" to get his parole revoked. Neither Dahlia nor Parker thought to report Mike to his parole officer. Instead, they fled and hid from him, staying in fear. (00:13:15 - 00:45:50)

The Gateway (2021)

Character mistake: Detective King (?) told Mikey, "You're on probation. You got no rights." King knew Mikey had been in prison, so should have said, "You're on parole" (not probation). Although a layperson might use probation and parole interchangeably, an employee in the criminal justice system (such as a detective) should know the differences between the terms and use the right one. A parolee is given an early, conditional release from prison and has fewer "rights" than a probationer. (00:47:10)

The Seventh Day (2021)

Continuity mistake: The width and height of the (CGI) flames in George's burn barrel varied with who/what was being filmed (e.g, George sitting or standing). (00:17:45 - 00:20:27)

Hatched (2021)

Stupidity: Simon sees his wife has been killed by a dinosaur, so runs out of the shed and tells Mark to run. Simon gets Mark into the front seat and hears the T-Rex roaring nearby. Instead of getting into the car as fast as he can, Simon takes the time to buckle Mark's seat belt and tell him to "be brave for daddy" and "everything's going to be fine." Simon turns around when the T-Rex is next to the car and he tells Mark to close his eyes. Simon just stands there as the T-Rex gets closer, then eats him. (00:05:50 - 00:06:21)

Hatched (2021)

Stupidity: Simon has told his wife Christine to never go into his shed/lab where he has dinosaurs chained. Christine is looking for her son Mark. Instead of searching the house (and finding Mark in his bedroom) or asking Simon to check the shed, Christine goes into the shed and is killed by a raptor. (00:02:30 - 00:04:58)

The Iron Mask (2019)

Deliberate mistake: The prisoners in the dark dungeon would not be able to read the letter (to Miss Dudley from Jason Flemyng that the carrier pigeon had) or see such a clear reflection by pouring water on the stone floor and holding the letter (written backwards) by the water. The room was suddenly lighter when doing so, but it wasn't clear where the light was coming from. Also, sunlight coming through the small window would not beam straight down along the wall. (00:07:23)

The Iron Mask (2019)

Trivia: Arnold Schwarzenegger's "performance" in this movie "merited" a nomination in the 2021 Razzies (Raspberry Awards) for WORST supporting actor, but he lost [or would that be "won"?] to Rudy Giuliani! Arnold's nomination had some good company: Chevy Chase, Shia LaBeouf, and Bruce Willis. Bruce was nominated for THREE of his movies - Breach, Hard Kill, and Survive the Night.

SAS: Red Notice (2021)

Other mistake: Grace Lewis shot a man in the head when he was standing less than three feet from her, but Grace did not get any blood splatter on her face or elsewhere. Neither did George Clements, who was standing near both of them. (01:15:03)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: The Giles brother who got "hung" when he fell after getting shot by MacMasters can be seen moving his body (mostly arms). (00:04:06)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Max Cameron's classroom appears to be slapped together and inconsistent. The wall is white but later tan. The door hinges are on the right, then left. The pencil sharpener, awkwardly mounted on the door frame, gets moved to the right. The hallway is a tan wall, but later just a closed door. Doors comprise the wall behind Dewey and there's a door behind Max, to the right of the white board. (00:59:55 - 01:00:43)

The Gateway (2021)

Stupidity: Dahlia, fleeing her husband, asks Parker, "Well, where we [her and daughter Ashley] gonna go?" Parker replies, "I know a place where you can go" and takes them to Marcus' house, parking his car there. (Mikey and Louis are looking for his car and find it.) Parker, though recently fired, is/was a social worker. Social workers are among the professions that have the greatest awareness of available community resources. Parker should have taken them to a shelter or other safe place. (01:06:04)
