Corrected entry: In the previous episode Location, Location, Location Kyra says that she wants to move in with Brock and Barbra Jean after he tells her he will try and make it up to her for her losing her trip. But in this episode, the rehash makes it appear that she asks to move in, by adding the line "Dad, there's something I have to tell you." This was never in the other episode at all, and does not make sense considering that Brock offered to make it up to her.

8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter - S4-E8
Question: Why didn't Stewie want a Portuguese person for a babysitter?
Answer: Stewie is referencing the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann who was three years old at the time of her disappearance in 2007. She was taken from her bed, in a holiday apartment, at a resort in Portugal. To date, she still remains missing and the case is remains ongoing.
This episode aired Jul 10, 2005, almost 2 years before the McCann kidnapping.
My mistake. I did not look at when the episode aired. I have no idea then. That answer made the most sense considering the premise of the joke.

Untamed Heart (1993)
Factual error: The game was supposed to be taking place at the Minnesota North Stars' arena. But the Red Wings were wearing home uniforms, which they only wore at the Joe Louis Arena.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The uniforms are correct. In the NHL, the home team traditionally wears dark uniforms and the visiting team traditionally wears white uniforms. Here, the Red Wings are wearing white uniforms, indicating that they are the visiting team.
From 1970-2003, NHL home teams wore their white jerseys, so the uniforms would be wrong. It wasn't until the 2003-2004 season did home teams start wearing their dark uniforms. The scene was shot at the Met Center, but it doesn't seem to be a real home game since during the 1992-1993 season, the North Stars were never ahead of the Red Wings 4-2 at home (but they did win 4-2 in Dec '92 in Detroit). North Stars did have a 4-2 lead at home in game 3 of the 1992 Playoffs, but were in white.
The film's Met Center scene was shot during an actual game in Minnesota in April 1992, which was the 1991-92 season. The North Stars did indeed wear their "road" black jerseys for select home games that 25th Anniversary season. I know this as I was employed by the team at that time.

Battleship (2012)
Factual error: When Hopper is running from the convenience store you can see Rite Aid in the background. You also see Honolulu police cars in the same scene. There isn't a Rite Aid in Honolulu.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Not sure about this one. Honolulu is on Oahu, so I'm not sure what the police cars correction is, and there are Rite Aid stores on Oahu, and in Honolulu.
Where is (or at least was in 2012) the Rite Aid in Honolulu?
Rite Aid stores are in 18 states, and Hawaii is NOT one of them. I even went to the Rite Aid website and used the "store locator." When I wrote "Honolulu", the result was "no stores within 50 miles." (This would be currently, so the question below about 2012 remains unanswered).

Legends of Tomorrow (2016)
Character mistake: After Ray Palmer says he's an Eagle Scout, he says to Leonard Snart, "be helpful to others, scout's motto." The Boy Scout's motto (including Eagle Scouts) is "Be Prepared." "To help others at all times" is part of the Scout's oath, but that's different than its motto and not something an Eagle Scout would mix up.

Suggested correction: It was a joke, that applied to the situation. Wasn't meant to be literal.
There is zero indication of any joke, implied or otherwise, especially since he could have correctly said "oath."

Con Air (1997)
Character mistake: When Cyrus and Johnny-23 are talking they both pronounce the Spanish version of Johnny-23's name as Juaniyo. That is not how Johnny is pronounced in Spanish. It is pronounced Juanito with a T. Normally I would have chalked it up as a language barrier but Danny Trejo is of Spanish ancestry. He should have known better. (00:20:41)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: "Juanillo" is another, though less common, diminutive of Juan.
I can appreciate you doing a google search but you would have noticed in your google search that the Juanillo you speak or is predominantly an Asian name and is not a translation of Johnny in Spanish. I am Spanish and can assure you that it was a mistake as Juanito is the correct pronunciation. Thank you for doing your due diligence however he was not playing the role if an Asian.
It should be pointed out that there's a town in Mexico called Juanillo and Juanillo Beach is in the Dominican Republic. So it is a word Hispanic and Latinos might be aware of.
Don't know why the previous guy said that Juanillo is not a common name in Spain... I am Spanish and know 2 guys that go by the name Juanillo. I would say that not only Juanillo and Juanito, but also Juanele are commonly used in Spain and probably Latin America as well.

Top Gun (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Cougar is looking at the picture of his wife and child, it's a girl. When he is interviewed by the Captain, he says "I almost orphaned him..." (00:10:14 - 00:13:03)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: He actually says "I almost orphaned 'em out there today" ie. Orphaned THEM not him.
Except he follows it up with "I've never even seen him." So he's talking about a boy. And before the orphan line he said "wife and kid", not "wife and kids", implying only one child.
And he couldn't have orphaned them anyway if their mother is still living. Dude was all shook up and couldn't think straight.

Blue Bloods (2010)
Corrected entry: Grandpa says his dad was able to get a job as a cop when he got to America in 1910 because he had been in the Royal Air Force in WW I. However, WW I did not start until mid 1914. (00:08:00 - 00:09:00)
Correction: He's talking about 2 different things. He's said when his father first got here in 1910 no-one liked the Irish. Then his father got a job as a cop because he was a soldier in WWI. There's no mention that his dad was a WWI soldier in 1910.
You're incorrect - go back and listen again.
Henry never said his dad got a job as a cop in 1910, which is the whole premise of your mistake. The correction is valid.

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)
Continuity mistake: At the cook out Brian introduces Helen as his kids' aunt, but introduces her as his cousin to Orlando.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Any person can be introduced as an aunt or uncle to kids, it's seen as a term of familiarity to children. So even if she's introduced as a cousin to Orlando, she can still be considered an "aunt" to her cousin's children.

Candyman (1992)
Factual error: When Virginia Madsen's character sees Candyman in the mental hospital, a male nurse calls for the injection of 1000 milliliters of sedative to calm her down. 1000 milliliters is equal to 1 liter, which certainly could not be injected, let alone as fast as it was.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The nurse said 1000mg, which is true and accurate wording for medication.
First off, he actually said "bring me a thousand mills." Second, 1 gram equals 1 milliliter, one is liquid and one is solid.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Corrected entry: After Marion supposedly dies in the truck explosion and Indy is drinking outside at the bar, watch to the left of him. You can see a man wearing a modern t-shirt and jeans walking through the crowd. (00:42:20)
Correction: Nobody in that scene isn't wearing traditional Arab dress? What about the man in the dark leather jacket, tan trousers and fedora? What about the man in the pale beige suit, white shirt, white hat and black tie? The one in the pale brown suit and hat, white shirt, black tie? The one in tan trousers, white shirt, patterned tie? The four people indisputably wearing out of place Western clothing in the scene? That's right. Indiana Jones, Belloq and Belloq's bodyguards. Not a mistake.
Correction: This is probably the most famous non-mistake of all time. Denim jeans date from 1871. They were first sold by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss in 1873 and the design hasn't changed much since then! Plain white cotton T-shirts date from 1898 and were first issued by the US Navy to their sailors in 1913. The design caught on immediately and they flew off the shelves. In short, there is nothing at all unusual about a man wearing jeans and a T-shirt in the late thirties.
He's the only person wearing that outfit in Cairo. Every single other person is wearing "traditional" clothing. He's clearly not meant to be in shot.
If that's true, then what about the two guys standing in the door/archway and the one guy who is sitting in the doorway next to them - all three of them don't match the rest of the extras either? All three are in the background to the left of Indy before the supposed blooper guy appears and walks right in front of them during the scene.
Highly possible. Unless you know the man's backstory who's to say he can't be where he is?
All of Cairo? I count 12 people (not including Indy) aside from him wearing traditional clothing. So one in 13 people has a different style of dress than the other 12. So what? A woman wearing a niqab in New York City might be different from others; it's not a mistake to have a niqab-wearing extra in a NYC crowd shot. This should be easily resolved anyway because there's one other person not wearing traditional clothes-INDY. And no-one gave him grief for it. Jeans aren't illegal in Cairo.
Correction: There is a simpler explanation of the man's presence and the fact that he is not there in error. This scene was shot on a closed set, and security was very tight. No member of the public would have got within a hundred metres of the place, and no crew member would be stationed in front of the cameras during a shot. It just doesn't happen. He is an extra, doing what he has been directed to do.
This site is filled with mistakes where crew-members are on camera. Whether it's an error, this correction is an assumption not supported by any facts.

Time After Time (1979)
Corrected entry: When Jack the Ripper and H.G. Wells play chess, the chessboard is in the wrong position. A black square is in the lower-right corner facing the opponents. According to chess rules, the board must be laid down such that there is a white square in the lower-right corner facing each opponent.
Correction: Character mistake.
This is a valid mistake. The characters playing have enough chess knowledge to know better. Plus, it means they either put their Queen on the wrong color square or the wrong position.

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Trivia: The voice of Biff's grandmother was provided by Thomas F. Wilson.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: According to The IMDB website, Charles Fleischer who played Terry the Tow Truck Driver and the old man taking donations in 2015, provided the voice of Gertrude Tannen.
And other sites list Wilson as the voice of Gertrude. Neither men are credited for the role and I have yet to see any site list a source for the information.
Https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0281486/otherworks.
IMDB is not considered a good source. Plus, on that site the information is given as trivia without a source, any crackpot could have claimed that.
Well until you can show me a confirmed source stating it was anyone else, my correction stands.
But IMDB isn't a confirmed source. Here's a site that lists Wilson as the voice actor, so by your logic the trivia entry stands. https://backtothefuture.fandom.com/wiki/Gertrude_Tannen.
On the audio commentary it is stated that the voice of Grandma Tannen is Fleischer. This is stated right after we hear "her" voice when the outside of her house is being shown.

Logan (2017)
Corrected entry: In the casino, as Logan is trying to get to the room during Charles' seizure, everyone is frozen. A woman sitting at a slot machine turns to look as Logan passes her, then back to the machine - not frozen like everyone else.

Logan (2017)
Corrected entry: After the first fight scene when Logan is pulling bullets out of his body and dropping them in the sink there is a shell casing with them, showing they're unfired.
Correction: There are no casings, just the bullets. The back part of the bullets are fairly intact, giving the appearance the casings are still on them but you can see none of them are long enough to be bullets with casings.
Wrong, there are ACTUAL hollow shell casings in the sink. Simple mistake.
I paused the film to look at what's in the sink and at first I thought there was a casing. But after looking at the other two bullets, it's clear that it's not a casing. The way the blood is covering the bottom of the bullet just gives an illusion you're looking at something hollow. The correction is valid.
Correct. There were no bullets in him. He only pushed out casings which should be in the ground in the parking lot. It makes zero sense. Huge flaw.

Dexter (2006)
Corrected entry: In the season finale of Season 4, when Arthur Mitchell threatens to steal his son's fillings from his teeth, his wife screams at him by his real-life name, "Jonathan" instead of "Arthur". (00:20:45)
Correction: There is no mistake. The woman cries out "Jonah" to her son, that's is name. In any case, Mr. Lithgow's first name is John, not Jonathan. TRIVIA: His middle name is actually Arthur.
Nope, she screams out "Jonathan, please!" while looking directly at Arthur. The fact that Lithgow's first name isn't actually Jonathan is irrelevant to the fact that she called him by the wrong name.
The correction is correct. When Arthur moves towards Sally, Jonah gets up to confront his dad. Sally says "Arthur!" then hold Jonah back and says "Don't, Jonah, no!"
I'm watching the episode right now, and going over this scene again. Jonah says to Arthur "What the hell is going on? What did you do?" Then as Arthur angrily approaches Jonah, Sally - while looking in Arthur's direction - screams out "Jonathan, please, no!" Then Arthur tells Jonah he's lucky he doesn't pull the fillings out of his teeth, just as the mistake describes. The entry is valid.
Then you're watching a different version than everyone else. I too just watched it and the correction is correct. She says "Jonah, no." But she is looking at Arthur because that's where the threat is.
If a mistake occurs in a certain version of a TV show or movie, then I would argue that it's still valid as long as there is a caveat pointing it out. I watched the episode on Amazon Prime and reviewed the scene around 10 times, and Sally saying "Jonathan" is unmistakable. The first syllable of "Jonah" is pronounced differently than the first syllable of "Jonathan," and "Jonathan" has an additional syllable. I even double-checked the scene on YouTube, and she can be heard saying "Jonathan" in the video titled "Dexter 4x12 Trinity Confronts His Son," around the 0:43 mark.

Remember the Titans (2000)
Corrected entry: In the first game against the Hawks, Petey forces a fumble after a reception and another player from the Titans picks it up and runs it into the wrong end zone for a touchdown. It would be a safety against the Titans.
Correction: It was the wrong direction not a reverse angle.
Correction: Actually, the camera just reverses angle.
It's the wrong direction and the mistake is valid. Pay attention to which team is on the sidelines. When the Hawks snap the ball, you see the Hawks' sideline is to the right-hand side of the offense. When #17 picks up the ball, we see the Titans sideline, which means they should be on the left-hand side of the offense. That means if the defense wants to score a TD, #17 needs to be running with the Titans' sideline to his right, but he's running with them on his left.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Question: At the beginning, Stretch asks the two punks in the car to hang up so that the call can end and the phone line can be clear. Why? Why can't she just hang up and end the call? This makes no sense.
Chosen answer: That's how telephones worked back then. It has to do with the lack of a disconnect signal being sent by the called party, which phone companies have now. Back then when someone called another person, they were paying for the call and thus it was felt that they're entitled not to be hung up on and the line would not be "free" for the person being called, even after they hung up. This also meant if someone was called and they picked up in one room, they could say "hold on I'm going to switch phones", hang up, go to another room and pick up the phone and the caller would still be there. It was also a great way to scam or annoy people by calling them and not hanging up. Some countries still maintain this method of operation, largely because some people have become used to it, although nowadays it's by choice, not by technical limitation, and the length of time the line is held open is significantly reduced.
Yeah that's actually true. in the 80s we used to call up talk radio shows from isolated, seldom-used phone booths and then leave the phone off the hook. No more calls for hours until they straightened it out with the phone company. we called it 'jock blocking'.
That's not true my brother would prank call KDKA in Pittsburgh constantly they had no trouble hanging up. If people called our house there was no trouble hanging up.
That's exactly how it worked if the line didn't have a disconnect signal.

Stargate SG-1 (1997)
Plot hole: When the team manage to create the cavern with the buried stargate they send Teal'c through to drill his way out, but wouldn't it be safer (and significantly faster) to fire a missile or two through and blast their way out? They have no idea how deep the stargate is buried, or under what type of rock, so sending Teal'c with only four hours of air seems suicidal. (00:35:00)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Except that sending a missile through would only cause the rocks to cave in onto the Stargate again and could possibly make it impossible to reopen the Stargate. If they could reopen it, they would just end up creating the same cavern. Not to mention the fact the danger to life on the planet if a missile did make it through and ends up exploding on the surface.
Except that if the gate is active, anything falling down on it would be destroyed, so if anything you would still end up with a cavern if material soil bound together as it was falling towards the gate, OR you would end up with a crater which would be Teal'c's objective.
It's not about the rocks being destroyed. It's about if the Stargate ends up shutting down and the rocks creating an iris, making it impossible to establish a wormhole.

Correction: She does ask to move in. This entry makes no sense.
I think you missed the point of the mistake. The beginning dialog of this episode is suppose to be the ending dialog of the previous episode. But in this episode she says "Dad, there's something I have to tell you" instead of "I already thought of a way" (in response to her dad saying he'll find a way to make it up to her).
