Six Feet Under (2001)

Someone Else's Eyes - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Nate drives his motorcycle out to the cliff overlooking the beach, we see him get off his bike wearing his helmet and glasses. He strides along and then before stopping takes off his helmet and not his glasses. In the very next shot he is squatting down and his glasses are gone, but he made no attempt to take them off and there wasn't enough time in between shots to do so.

Reno 911! (2003)

Fastest Criminal in Reno - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Fast Eddie jumps over the road block and comes crashing down you can see from the severity of the landing that the front left side of the vehicle is seriously damaged as is probably the rest of the front of the vehicle. However when the camera shows the shock on the Officers faces of what's taken place and then pans back as Fast Eddie drives away, his car shows no damage whatsoever.

The Simpsons (1989)

The Ziff Who Came to Dinner - S15-E14

Factual error: When the SEC guys break up the poker game they arm their guns in the same manner you would with a shotgun (there is even the shotgun cocking sound effect) yet they are M-16 style weapons and would not need to be armed this way.

The Otto Show - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When Nelson asks Bart what song he is playing as they wait for the bus, Nelson's vest is orange and his shirt is bluish. However, when the bus arrives and Nelson goes to get on the bus his vest is now bluish and his shirt orange. (00:10:10)

Eurotrip (2004)

Question: When Scotty gets email, it says "mail muthafu**a." Is this something that they did just for the movie or can you get this somewhere?

Tobin OReilly

Chosen answer: It was made for the movie but you can now find it all over the 'net. Try a Google search.

Deliberate mistake: When 11 is dropped into the water and eaten by the piranhas, although the ravenous fish probably ate most of her and what was on her, there should at least be pieces of clothing that would rise to the surface in the flurry of activity. Not to mention that even though the water is a murky green all the blood from her body should have created a temporary, but very noticeable darkening of the water.

Trivia: During the scene in the classroom where the teacher is having the students read their poems, if you look on the chalkboard you will see the words "I Don't Know" written on it. This is a nod to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where in class Mr. Hand asks Jeff Spicoli a question, he responds with these very words and angrily Mr. Hand writes them on the board before giving the class another pissed off tirade on being stupid.

Lisa the Iconoclast - S7-E16

Revealing mistake: When Lisa is explaining to the curator of the museum why she didn't tell the crowd of what she learned about Jebediah Springfield, if you look in the background none of the people on the far sidewalk are moving, almost frozen in place with some of them with their arms in the air yet everyone and everything in the parade keeps moving right along.

Lemon of Troy - S6-E24

Plot hole: In the scene where Bart has to choose the right Roman numeral door in order to avoid the tigers; right as the Shelbyville kids come bursting through the outer door, Bart picks the right door through humorous deduction and escapes. However, the Shelbyville kids are unable to open the door which doesn't make sense, since there is no lock on the door and there wasn't any mention of Bart blocking or sabotaging the door because only a few seconds later we see him on the street continuing to fret about the lemon tree.

Bad Santa (2003)

Chosen answer: It's just something the kid came up with. He is not quite all there. It's just something that illustrates how odd the kid is.

Grumpy Scot

Answer: My guess is that they are characters of the Christmas story.

Walking Tall (2004)

Visible crew/equipment: When Knoxville and a bad guy end up fighting hand to hand downstairs (in Chris's house) after trading off shotgun blasts at one point they end up grappling in front of an armoire with a glass front. Just before they struggle off to fight in another part of the room you can see a crew member with a black shirt appear from the left in the reflection of the glass. Since Chris appears in the scene about a few seconds after this it could be him. He was also wearing a black shirt but one things for sure whoever it was was not meant to be seen as they quickly ducked out of sight. (01:06:55)

Family Guy (1999)

Family Guy mistake picture

Dammit Janet - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Stewie is in his room talking to Rupert and himself out loud about Janet we see that Rupert is on the left side of Stewie's pillow. When the camera pans over to Brian who overhears Stewie's musings, after Brian makes fun of Stewie the camera pans back and Rupert is gone. There is also a quick tete-a-tete on the color of Janet's eyes and the final shot is on Stewie and his crib and yet no Rupert to be found. (00:07:20)

Coneheads (1993)

Visible crew/equipment: When the alien ship is lifting up the Coneheads in their red car and the two Federal agents with its magnetic gripper, as they get closer to the ship's lights, you can see safety wires, either for the car or the two men.

Moonraker (1979)

Revealing mistake: When Bond and Goodhead are in the Space Shuttle, when we see Goodhead reach for the pen her hair shows no effects of the lack of gravity.

Moonraker (1979)

Factual error: When Bond and Goodhead's space shuttle enters space, it still has the main fuel tank attached. However, when Bond releases the fuel tank it falls downward. It should maintain its momentum in orbit around the Earth until atmospheric drag (which extends out to high orbit) causes the orbit to decay over many years.

Moonraker (1979)

Revealing mistake: During the laser battle inside the space station, one of the villains on one of the upper circular tiers makes a move as though to signify he was hit with a laser a second or two before the laser actually hits him.
