Revealing mistake: A close-up of the Janitor's (Cage's) left cheek shows no moles or obvious blemishes. When the duct tape was shown being put over the cut on the Janitor's cheek, the person's face was not Nicolas Cage's - the "stand in" had moles and other blemishes (age spots?) where Cage does not.

Willy's Wonderland (2021)
Continuity mistake: At times, the tow truck that the Janitor is riding in does not have any "substance" to the rear window or driver's side behind the driver. The vertical metal rail that is initially behind the driver is gone when the camera returns to Jed, but reappears. (00:05:05)

Willy's Wonderland (2021)
Continuity mistake: The Janitor takes one can of "Punch" out of a box in his Camaro's trunk. After the Camaro is towed, the Janitor removes a sack from the Camaro's passenger front seat, which now contains the cans of Punch. He was not shown moving the cans and there's no explanation of where the sack came from. Also, when the Janitor is carrying the sack into Willy's, it doesn't look like it contains more than a couple or few cans yet it supposedly contains many more. (00:03:55 - 00:09:40)
Suggested correction: He filled the sack with punch cans to use to kill the last animatronic character before he left, they didn't appear out of nowhere.

Willy's Wonderland (2021)
Continuity mistake: The Janitor's (Nicolas Cage) Camaro SS more often looks black or dark green than the "ocean blue" it is supposed to be. Also, a close-up near the beginning shows a red/white/blue emblem near the passenger side front tire, but it is not there - other times, the "SS" appears. (00:03:05 - 00:06:53)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
Trivia: Brad lied to his friends about how his face got banged up, saying he was jumped by some kids outside of the "O." The "O" refers to the Original Hot Dog Place, which was located close to the University of Pitsburgh's Cathedral of Learning and was very popular among the students and others. It had been in operation for about 60 years but closed on 4/18/20 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Pittsburgh native Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks) tried to buy the "O" but it was sold to a chain. (01:09:52)

Breaking News in Yuba County (2021)
Character mistake: After banker Karl was reported missing from his home, the police detective did not even think to locate his car - which he could have merely driven away in (meaning he was not kidnapped).

Hero Dog: The Journey Home (2021)
Stupidity: Max loaded his backpack with food and supplies he thought/knew he would need searching for his father in the woods. Before he was out of the backyard, his slightly older sister said she was going, too. Max didn't tell her to get her own food, etc. to bring. Surely he would know that he would have to share his food and run out. Also, when the backpack full of supplies fell into the river, instead of at least trying to see if they could retrieve it, Max just immediately dismissed it as "lost."

Hero Dog: The Journey Home (2021)
Factual error: After the HEAVY rain and losing his supplies during the storm, Max (Royce's adolescent son) told his sister he needed to find two very dry pieces of wood to be able to make a fire. Everything in the woods would have been soaked, but Max quickly found two "very dry" logs and was able to make a friction fire (in record speed).

Hero Dog: The Journey Home (2021)
Stupidity: Royce, blinded in Afghanistan, managed to avoid serious injury when the boat finally hit land. Having no real idea where he was, he foolishly decided to get off the boat and try venturing through unknown woods with the dog Chinook as a guide (!) This was simply absurd! Even though rescue missions were delayed that day by the storm, he should have had enough sense to know his chances of being found/rescued (and being safe in the meantime) would be the greatest by staying in the boat.

Don't Tell a Soul (2020)
Continuity mistake: The string of lights from outside the garage to inside are more or less visible (number of loops and whether they go very far into the garage) and the intensity and size of the lights are inconsistent. (01:03:40)

Don't Tell a Soul (2020)
Continuity mistake: Before the shoot out with police, Hamby's face was not very dirty when he got out of his truck, but it looked much dirtier a minute later. There are additional places near the end when the amount of dirt on his face varies. (01:06:02 - 01:07:00)

Looking for Alaska (2019)
Other mistake: The extent to which the classmates wrapped Miles in cellophane with his hands folded in front of his groin would make it difficult, if not impossible, for Miles to get out of the lake alive on his own. Miles did not drown... or suffer any injuries.

Every Breath You Take (2021)
Other mistake: James supposedly did not give his name when he filed a complaint against Dr. Clark, which would make conducting an investigation to determine if the complaint was valid very difficult. Dr. Clark would be entitled to due process (presumption of innocence) and it is highly unlikely that the Medical Commission would have taken such quick and drastic measures against Dr. Clark under the circumstances.

Every Breath You Take (2021)
Factual error: James called the "Washington Board of Psychiatry" to file a complaint against Dr. Clark (Philip). Complaints (which need to be WRITTEN) against medical doctors are filed under a State's Medical Board, which would be the Washington Medical Commission in this case. Washington has a Board of Psychology and there is a Washington Psychiatric Society, but there's no "Washington Board of Psychiatry" per se (and even if there were, a complaint would still be filed with the Medical Commission).

Birthmarked (2018)
Other mistake: After the three kids took the car and caused a 19-car pile-up on the 141, Social Services got a court order removing them from the home and parents were not allowed to see them. Social/Child Welfare Services try to maintain or preserve the family unit and view removal from the home as a last resort or in cases of severe neglect or abuse that endangers the child. Social Services would not be likely to take such drastic measures for this incident. The driver may have been adjudicated a PINS.

The Penthouse (2021)
Other mistake: Det. Martinez told Peter he couldn't do anything about his belief that Charles was in his penthouse (and took his dog) without the necessary evidence. However, the detective filed stalking charges against Peter based on Charles' statement that he was being stalked, which was without evidence. The charge of stalking was also far-fetched and the detective should have had enough sense to realise that Charles would not be in fear of his safety over Peter's presence or behavior.
