Revealing mistake: Once the secret door to Moria is open, when Gimli says, "Soon Master Elf, you will enjoy the fabled hospitality of the Dwarves," as Gandalf leads the way inside, note the glint of the trailing power cord as it moves along the ground behind Gandalf and goes directly under his robe. This is the staff's electrical supply cable. (00:16:20)

Visible crew/equipment: After starting their four day journey through the long dark of Moria, a few shots later Gandalf pulls on his hat brim, and just as he walks (with Legolas close behind) to his left (towards the viewer's right), up some stairs, the black electrical cable leading from the staff to under the robe's left sleeve is visible. (00:19:30)

Hannah Montana (2006)
You Gotta Lose This Job - S3-E7
Trivia: When 'Hannah' has the casting meeting with the "hotshot Hollywood honcho" Rob Reiner, she calls him "Meathead". For younger viewers who likely have no idea of its connection, in the 70s Rob Reiner was on a TV show called All in the Family, in which his father-in-law gave him the nickname Meathead.

Would I Lie to You, Lilly? - S3-E6
Trivia: When the power goes out at Rico's, Sarah goes to the back where we see Ed Begley Jr. in an uncredited cameo. In real-life, he is one of the staunchest environmental activists in the 'Hollywood' community. Here, he's riding on a stationary bike which is powering the new generator, the 'Green' way.

26th Mar 2009
Ever After (1998)
Continuity mistake: When Marguerite threatens to toss 'Utopia' into the fireplace, she holds the book out to her left, where the fireplace and its roaring fire are located. When Danielle hands over the glass slippers, Marguerite moves her arm from her side and proceeds to forcefully throw the book down directly in front of her (between Marguerite and Danielle, who face each other). Odd though, how in the next close-up 'Utopia' is shown having been tossed straight into the fire to burn, as Danielle screams. (01:13:35)
26th Mar 2009
Ever After (1998)
Audio problem: When Danielle brings the salt to the dining table, the Baroness sprinkles a spoonful of salt over the single shelled hard-boiled egg in the bowl, with its removed cracked shell lying on the plate beneath. After the stepmother rebukes Danielle, we hear the distinct sound of her cracking the hard-boiled egg's shell with her spoon, just before she says, "Eggs are cold," even though the egg has no shell. (00:17:40 - 00:19:00)

22nd Mar 2009
Ever After (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Auguste dies, the Baroness cries, "No!" and puts her right hand up to her mouth, then uses both hands to shake him as she pleads, "You cannot leave me here!"
