Trivia: Spoilers. At one point, the two pig masks that assist Gordon were supposed to be Brad and Ryan from the opening public trap. This was related to the original ending, in which it is revealed that a number of the survivor's group members have been assisting John and Gordon with their work, behind the back of Hoffman. However, with this idea having been dropped, the identity of the two pig masks has now been left up to the imagination of the viewer. After the release of Jigsaw in 2017, it is revealed that John has another apprentice, Logan. Logan is of similar build to one of the pigmen and is quite possibly one of them.

Saw 3D (2010)
Trivia: The filmmakers had several times in the past tried to convince Cary Elwes to reprise his role as Dr. Gordon from the original film for previous entries. Elwes was finally persuaded when he realized this would be the final film, and that his character's return would be important to the story in the end.

Saw 3D (2010)
Trivia: The "Horsepower Trap" (the car trap involving Even and his friends) was an idea that writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have tried to get into several "Saw" films before, only to be told by the producers that it was too gruesome and cruel. Knowing this was the intended final film, the producers finally allowed them to include the scene.

House (1986)
Revealing mistake: About 27 or 28 minutes into the film, right before the giant creature flies out at Roger through the doorway, you can see the wall (part of a film set) "wobble" for about a half second as Roger opens the door.

Saw 3D (2010)
Continuity mistake: As Evan is tearing himself away from the car seat, you can see his back muscles are a fleshy-color and only have a little bit of blood on them. When he crashes at the end of the scene, his back muscles are suddenly dark-red and saturated with blood, despite looking totally different just seconds before. (00:20:25)

Saw 3D (2010)
Continuity mistake: After Bobby fails to save his publicist, he has a large amount of blood spatter from her on his shirt. In the next scene, however, there is a lot less blood on his shirt, and it's spatter-pattern isn't the same. (00:41:25)

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
Factual error: Riggs is shown using a laser-sight on his handgun throughout the entire movie. However, almost every single time he turns it on, the entire "beam" of the laser is visible, which doesn't happen in real life unless there is smoke/vapor/debris in the air. Obviously done for the sake of the audience seeing where the laser is pointed, but still a mistake.

Little Nicky (2000)
Audio problem: When the blind man falls down the stairs of the subway, we hear him falling for several seconds before a single loud thud. If he really fell down the stairs, we should hear more than one thud.

Crank: High Voltage (2009)
Revealing mistake: When the Ferret's goons are dragging Chev behind the speed-boat near the end, when the one henchman (with all the tattoos) urinates on Chelios, you can see he is holding a small device/hose that is spraying the fake urine out.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
Trivia: Some details are taken from Jason Segel's life. For example, the naked breakup is based on a similar incident and he was working on a puppet-based Dracula rock-opera.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Question: It seems like the character of Winston (the fourth Ghostbuster) has very little screen time in this movie. He was in a few scenes in the beginning, then kind of disappears for a while, then shows up again after the court room incident. Was there a reason why his character wasn't in the movie more?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where Dennis and the Waitress, Mac and Dee successively walk into the back office to talk to Charlie near the beginning of the episode, in some of the shots, you can see outside the office door, and you can see the top of the set has no ceiling, and even see part of a stage-light.

The Gang Gets Invincible - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Mac and Dennis are talking to Doyle on the bus, watch the background outside of the window. Every time the camera cuts back and forth, the background changes. The most noticeable change is near the end of the scene, when the background changes from trees and shops passing, to suddenly the side of a bridge passing.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Mac is a Serial Killer - S3-E10
Plot hole: Early in the episode, it is mentioned that the serial killer is murdering "Young, attractive blondes", yet at the end of the episode, when the gang finds all the severed heads in the killer's refrigerator, almost none of them are blonde or young, contradicting what had been previously established.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Trivia: According to the show's assistant prop manager, there were around 100 "poos" created for this episodes, many of which were made from different materials, including a food thickening agent, sheetrock mud and a cookie dough mixture.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Continuity mistake: When we see Mac and Dennis smash the boards successively over Charlie's back, as the camera cuts to a closeup of Charlie, Dennis suddenly appears behind him, despite the fact he already smashed his board and walked off-camera.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Bums: Making a Mess All Over the City - S3-E14
Factual error: Charlie drops the moltov cocktail into the police car in the end, light enough so that it doesn't break, but the car explodes about ten seconds later, as Charlie explains he had soaked the entire inside with gasoline. However, there realistically wouldn't be such a long pause as shown in the show for the gasoline fumes to ignite. Also, the explosion is much more powerful than it realistically would have been, revealing pyrotechnics were used. Obviously done for comedic value, but still a mistake.
18th Jul 2009
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, as the gang is being mugged, watch the background. Towards the end of the scene, there are suddenly three cars parked on the street behind the gangs after a brief cut to the mugger, despite there having been no time for them to all appear.

Chosen answer: Winston was an employee of the other Ghostbusters, not a "professional paranormal investigator" like the other three. When they're looking into Dana's problem, they're doing it not in a professional ghostbusting capacity, but as a favor to a friend. Once the judge lifted the restraining order and they were back in business, they were able to hire him back.
