Ghostbusters (1984)

Other mistake: After the trio stormed off the library, they are walking around the campus. As Venkman giggles mocking the "Get her" lack-of-a-plan, to the right of the screen there's an elderly lady who keeps staring curiously right at the camera. (00:12:20)

Scream 3 (2000)

Other mistake: Cotton's opening line in the movie is that he won't go below 1 million bucks as he's risking his reputation for the cameo, furious that they can't write him a decent part for the Stab movie. So he's still negotiating, but the news story later in the movie says he filmed the cameo the day before.

Scream 2 (1997)

Other mistake: Much like in the original Scream, an absurd amount of time goes on since the time when Dewey is left for dead (they broke into the school at half past nine according to the clock) and when first aid is administered (the morning after).

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: In the credits you can read a thank you for some of the filming that took place "at the Manoeuveres and Shooting Range of Paraja." Besides the misspelling of "manoeuvres", the shooting range is in Pajara, in the Canary islands. (02:34:00)

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: Phastus says "I always wondered how we survived the destruction of other planets that we were on." Always? That's odd phrasing; he learned the mere fact that they have been on other planets that ended up destroyed only literally a few hours before.

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: During the fight against Ikaris on the mothership, Thena is not wearing the bracelet that allows the formation of the Unimind and that she wore when she was suited up. (01:55:45)

Eternals (2021)

Other mistake: Makkari looks for the Emergence using Phastos' special radar that he built. She comes back to base telling them she found the Emergence point, but does not say where it is. Despite leaving early, Ikaris is already there waiting for them; he doesn't have any problem finding it himself.

Breakers

Other mistake: One of the playable characters is an Italian fencer; he's definitely Italian, since not only that's what the manual says, there's an Italian flag on display in his stage. This "Italian" guy, though, has moves such as the "Bonjour shot" and the "Monsieur train", his voice lines have an unmistakeable (provided you can make sense of what he says, because the sampling is terrible) accent, and his name is PIELLE, which is a tragic botch of "Pierre", quintessential French name. In the remake "Breakers revenge" they change the flag from the Italian one to the French one, at least.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Other mistake: When the Ghostbusters are inside Lady Liberty, you can see from their close-ups and from shots inside the head that the windows that form the crown are narrower than their shoulders. Despite that, they easily make the drop on the villains from there, while carrying huge backpacks (the slime ones have large tanks even). (01:30:20)

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2

Other mistake: Kindaichi is on the run from the police. He rolled in dirt with his only shirt and jeans, and he had multiple dirt stains when he was on the phone with Miyuki in Nagano, but at the end of his clandestine trip in the back of a truck, he shows up in Tokyo perfectly clean.

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1

Other mistake: Kindaichi escapes handcuffing the detective to the toilet's chain. Try to think of the last time you went to a restroom and the chain was SO long that you could yank it across the whole room (not stall, room) and outside the door. Going behind the sink's drain, even. Never seen a toilet like this in my life (and in that kind of bathroom, you have usually buttons or pedals, anyway). (00:21:00)

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1

Other mistake: Miyuki notices the pager beeping and finds out that Kindaichi gave it to her without her noticing. In fact when he said goodbye to her, the keen-eyed viewer can actually spot him slipping her the device. There are a couple of slight problems with that; first, she retrieves it, not in frame, from her left side, but Kindaichi put it on the right side of her person. Second; she is wearing a white skirt with no pockets. (00:20:15)

Scream 2 (1997)

Other mistake: The movie is supposed to happen "a couple years" after the previous (words of the moviegoer behind Jada Pinkett) but the current date shown at the theater says 1997, and Scream was set in September 1996 (calendar at Stu's house distinctly visible when he brings Sid's dad out of the closet).

Scream (1996)

Other mistake: Tumbling down the ditch with Dewey, you can see that Gale loses her red pumps. In the rest of the scene though she goes to Mr. Prescott's car first and then back towards the street without fetching her shoes back. (01:17:55)

Scream (1996)

Other mistake: Randy answers the phone and receives the news that the principal has been killed and left to hang from the goalpost. He gets the call from the telephone by the TV, and he his head reaches about half the height of the TV. The hidden camera is on top of the VHS player, a shelf underneath the TV, but somewhat Gale and Kenny in the TV truck get a close-up of his mouth. (01:16:00)

Scream (1996)

Other mistake: Two police officers drag Billy Loomis out from the sheriff office across the station; the younger officer stares into the camera right before it cuts away. (00:34:40)

Sammo

Other mistake: Peter grabs with his web at super-high speed a mug full of scorching hot liquid that he uses to slapstick his way out of the Oscorp security stooges; somehow the cup clashed against his hand staying perfectly filled and unperturbed, but in the next shot the slightest bump spills coffee everywhere. (01:11:20)

Sammo

Other mistake: During Shaia's storyline (and in the movelist in case you defeat her) her sidekick is called Ballboy while the name is actually Ball Boy - same for her rival's Chrisboy/Chris Boy.

Sammo

Other mistake: When Peter looks up "Roosevelt hotel", the map result shows "Map data ©2013 Google." The movie was shot in 2013 but takes place in 2014. (01:01:30)
