VeggieTales: Celery Night Fever picture

Continuity mistake: During the "Perfect Puppy" silly song, Bob places a newspaper he had been reading on the couch beside him when Larry starts singing.

Sabotage picture

Revealing mistake: Late on in the film; Arnie and the female officer kick in the door to one of his teams house. Unfortunately Arnie is in his 70s now and not as agile as he used to be, the door was open and simply pushed hard. Look at the door, it has no damage and neither does the frame. Also, the door barely opens past a hard push. As tactically trained operatives they would not have pushed the door if it was ajar either, they would have opened it slowly to avoid startling anyone inside and warning them.

Outcast picture

Other mistake: Prince Shing and the King have a conversation that lasts not less than 5 minutes of movie (which compresses the time somewhat; groups of people get in and out of the large hall, which wouldn't be instantaneous and happens at least 3 times). The conversation happens while the other members of the royal family are running away through a secret passage. With such a considerable head start and wasting no time (they keep moving even when they put mantles on), they are reached by heavily-armored guards, through the same secret passage, within seconds. (00:12:10 - 00:17:10)

Against the Sun picture

Factual error: The newsreel at the start of the movie shows a carrier preparing to launch aircraft. The announcer claims it is the Enterprise, but in actuality, it is either the Lexington or the Saratoga, evidenced by the huge funnel.

When a touchdown is scored and celebrations begin, number 6 takes her helmet off, revealing the face of the protagonist, Karidja Touré, who has long black hair in braids. (00:01:20 - 00:02:40)

Ode to My Father picture

Alien Abduction picture

Factual error: The alien drops the video camera out of the UFO from outer space and it falls to earth landing on the ground. This very far drop would certainly have busted it to pieces, if not ignited it on reentry, but when the guy picks it up off the ground, it appears only the screen is cracked.

The Woman in Black 2 Angel of Death picture

Visible crew/equipment: When the little boy is lying in bed looking up at a hole in the wall you see a creepy hand move, the while time, if you look closely, there appears to be a human hand with human fingers to the right of it in the darkness.

Goonie-Boys: Curse of the Mayan Coin picture

Continuity mistake: The dog the boys were trying to catch was facing the fence with his nose very close to it. After one of the boys threw a blanket (or piece of material) over the dog, the dog was facing them instead of the fence. Also, the dog was not as close to the fence and the background didn't appear to be the same. (00:06:07)
