In the Heart of the Sea picture

The Visit picture

Plot hole: When they left the camera out overnight to film Nana it would have had to be recording all night. A DSLR will not do this and does not do motion detection either.

Blackhat picture

Factual error: When he is in the restaurant and looking at the security feed, he does a who command when it should be "whois". Also the IP is incorrect - the 3rd octet is 265, despite the maximum possible value being 255.

Insidious: Chapter 3 picture

Deliberate mistake: When Quinn is texting the boy next door, he responds too quickly for it to be real. She sends the "So you think I can stop traffic, huh?" text and gets a response within literally two seconds. She then sends the "Did I wake you up?" text and gets two responses within five seconds. Texts usually take several seconds (at least) to be delivered and opened, so even with great service and lightning-fast fingers, this is obviously far too quick.

A Walk in the Woods picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Bryson and Katz are getting onto the Greyhound bus, a guy in a fluorescent jacket can be seen holding traffic up in the distance whilst the scene is filmed.

Dragon Blade picture

Factual error: Near the end, Jackie Chan's vastly-outnumbered forces resort to throwing stones to somehow utterly destroy a phalanx of Roman legionnaires in close-quarter combat. This scene flies in the face of what we know about Roman military superiority in the time of Tiberius. The Roman Army was the best-trained, best-organized, best-equipped military force of the Ancient World, specializing in tireless close-quarter combat and impenetrable defense. To suggest that Jackie Chan's frantic and disorganized group of fighters (throwing stones by hand) might overcome Roman legionnaires is like suggesting that cave men might overcome the modern U.S. Marine Corps.

Chappie picture

Continuity mistake: At the end, the TV newscaster reports that 150,000 reserve human forces have been activated. But the crawl strip at the bottom of the screen reads "150,000 RESERVED human forces," a different meaning altogether. (01:59:00)

The DUFF picture

Continuity mistake: When Bianca takes Wes to the "thinking rock", as they talk and her hands are in her lap, her hair moves from over her left ear to behind her left ear and back, twice.

More The DUFF mistakes
Strange Magic picture

Other mistake: When Marry Anne flies into the dark forest for the first time she drops the boutonniere. After seeing the primrose petal she flies off empty handed but has the boutonniere later when she meets Roland.

More Strange Magic mistakes
The Gift picture

Continuity mistake: When Gordo leaves Simon and Robyn for a few minutes to handle a work thing, Simon starts mocking Gordo in his absence. Simon tells Robyn that Gordo wants to nail her and Robyn says "Stop it," but Simon continues his mocking of Gordo. At the end when Simon is listening to the recording that Gordo made of that conversation, Robyn's "Stop it" is absent.

Jupiter Ascending picture

Character mistake: The poster on the wall near the start reads "Our Egg Donor's [sic.] are helping to fulfill the dreams of women across America." There is an unnecessary apostrophe in the word "Donor's." (00:10:05)

Room picture

Other mistake: Ma and Jack bake a cake, but there is no way of doing this as they have no oven - only a work top hob and a grill.

More Room mistakes
Veteran picture

Continuity mistake: During the fight in the garage, the protagonist neutralizes (and maybe neuters) one of the baddies crotching him with the car door. In that sequence, his hands keep changing position on the door. (00:07:30)

Sammo

More Veteran mistakes
Trumbo picture

Other mistake: When Otto Preminger calls Trumbo from his car to announce that Trumbo's real name would be credited for Exodus, Preminger tells him to look at the front page of the New York Times. The problem is that Trumbo has already picked up the paper from his counter and is reading before Preminger even tells him which newspaper features the article.

Pan (2015)

Pan picture

Continuity mistake: When Peter Pan is fighting the tribe's Pan on the trampoline and they're just about to finish Peter Pan off, the elder chief calls for the fight to stop. Peter's arms are above him in the overhead shot but are outstretched in the view from behind Peter.
