Blue Beetle picture

Plot hole: Jenny steals Dr. "Sanchez's" badge by bumping into him so she can get into the lab, but she never did anything to return it. But Dr. "Sanchez" is still somehow able to walk into his lab without his badge. And even if he thought he left his badge behind in the lab for some reason and had someone let him in, he doesn't do anything to look for it, which would have alerted him to a security breach before seeing the scarab missing.

Candy Cane Lane picture

Continuity mistake: Tre holds the bound fleece blanket [or men's top?] with the white border to his left, but it lands (not rotates) onto the desk with the white border to his right. The blanket is at a different angle in front of Chris, and the white border faces Chris (i.e. rotates about 90°) before Chris touches or picks up the blanket. (00:05:58)

Culpa mía picture

Continuity mistake: During the drive to the mansion, the number of pages Noah has read in her book ("Pride and Prejudice") varies with front/back views. After she has read to almost the end, she's back to the middle or about two-thirds left to read. (00:02:00 - 00:02:44)

Barbie picture

Factual error: Gloria's vehicle is a Chevrolet Blazer SS EV, but during the chase scene, her supposedly electric vehicle makes sounds like a normal gas engine.

Prom Pact picture Prom Pact mistake picture Video

Revealing mistake: Just as the first credits roll, when the cheerleaders dance, check the African American, Caucasian, and most noticeably, the Asian American people behind the team. They are blatant, creepy-looking, unrealistic CGI characters. (00:01:18)

Expend4bles picture

Other mistake: After the first guard at the chemical plant is sniped, the second guard goes to check on him and is surprised by the sudden appearance of an attacking helicopter. Helicopters are extremely loud, and flying as low as it was depicted would also vibrate the ground and the building. There's no way it would have been able to sneak up on the guard like that.

The Flash picture

Continuity mistake: In the Soviet bunker, Batman hooks a soldier taking cover at a distance. In the next shot he's suddenly closer and in range to kick him.

No Hard Feelings picture

Factual error: It is shown, more than once, that letters from the IRS are piling up, and it's implied that these are the property tax problems with which the main character is wrestling. However, property tax letters would not come from the IRS/Federal government. Rather, they'd come from local/county/city government.

Napoleon picture

Factual error: After Napoleon's coup of the consul, there is a scene featuring Josephine carrying a toy Pomeranian dog. While Pomeranians existed at this time, they were much bigger in size (upwards of 50 pounds). The more modern type of Pomeranian that she is carrying wouldn't start coming about for another century.

Continuity mistake: The teacup handle (left side of the screen) rotates about 45°, even though no one touches the cup. (00:11:50 - 00:12:30)

The Bricklayer picture

Plot hole: Kate suspects Vail, searches his bag and finds receipts for two burner phones. She holds him at gunpoint and finds the burner phone in his pocket! So, what we have here is a veteran CIA agent who discards neither his "burner" phones nor their receipts! Does he even know the meaning of the word "burner"? Does anyone involved in the making of this film know?

Factual error: Early in the film, as the train pulls into the station, you can see 2 European Traffic Control Systems. A signalling system that was only installed in 2010.

Continuity mistake: Alberto and Alan are walking along a flat road between rows of houses. Alan looks up the road to see where his father "disappears to" and the road ahead is composed of arches along an upgrade. Alan continues running, but not very far, and suddenly there are grades in front and back of him, but the road is flat in the distant (somewhat aerial) view. After Alan runs a little further, the road behind him is arched again. The topography changes too fast and frequently. (00:06:00 - 00:06:50)

Blood Harvest picture

Continuity mistake: When Uncle Ollie puts his hand over Delilah's mouth, he also clasps the right side of her hair, practically covering half of her face. Uncle Ollie does not remove his hand from Delilah's mouth, but her hair is to the side of her face. (00:17:30)

Your Christmas or Mine 2 picture

Continuity mistake: A goat moves [off-screen] to different sides of a rock, but the rock cannot change shape and color in alternating shots (from greyish, square pyramid-like to brownish, cuboid-like shape). (00:14:15)
