Doctor: No evidence of any abnormality in the brain, no tumor, you have a strong heart, your diet is better than average. You are under severe stress, of course, but otherwise doctor Bowen, the psychiatrist you saw, says there's nothing out of the ordinary...aside from your exceptional extrasensory perception and your preoccupation with Japanese culture. No harm in that! (00:41:10)

Scream 4 (2011)

Jenny Randall: You're overthinking it.
Marnie Cooper: Am I, or did whoever make it just under-think it? There's a reason I don't watch these movies.

Lovejoy (1986)

The Sting - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Bigelow tells Charlie Gimbert that the jade is "obviously very ancient." You can see the hand holding the item change angle (fully straightening) in the reaction shot with Gimbert cackling at the news. (00:51:00)

Meet Cute (2022)

Continuity mistake: During their first encounter (the first we see in the movie, at least), Sheila sits next to Gary, and they both order Old Fashioned. Phil the Bartender makes a comment on that, and she shoos him off. Look at Kaley Cuoco 's bag; one of the straps keeps going on/off the top of the bag between shots. (00:03:30)

Inspector Ike (2020)

Factual error: The movie is set in the 80s (you can see tell for instance by the driving license of the old woman, which uses the 80s template and has a 1985 date), but the police plays the suicide tape on a Panasonic PV-4614, which is a late 90s model of VHR. Same goes for the Sony video camera used to tape the murder, definitely from the 90s. (00:19:00)

Character mistake: After Clinton's phone call, Christine talks with her assistant and making fun of the "mourning", she says "We went directly to Streisand's opening at the Sands right from the cemetery." However, in Vegas Barbra Streisand never performed at the Sands; she did the International (then Hilton) and the Riviera. (00:05:15)

Continuity mistake: When Helen enters by mistake Derol's room, there's no smoke visible; she leaves, and in a tighter shot on him a blunt leaves a very conspicuous trail of smoke. (01:41:00)

Continuity mistake: When towards the end of the movie Miles from the top of the stairs shouts "What? You think you're an alligator?" Birdie and Whiskey are in a different position in their close-up. (02:08:30)

Continuity mistake: When Lionel says "Why the hell not?" at the unspoken understanding of starting to shatter statuettes, Claire next to him is standing clawing at her own fingers, while in the background a moment earlier her hands were higher and distant. (02:02:30)

Continuity mistake: When Blanc "offers some courage" to Helen, his hand in close-up is around the side of the glass, and it is above it at the cut. She accepts the glass, and her hand changes position on it at the next cut as well. (02:01:05)

Plot hole: The Distruptors show up at Andi's house right after the killer (Duke literally crosses paths with him) and are enraged and desperate because they can't find her. At the same time, Andi is dying from apparent suicide breathing the fumes of her car. It'd be pretty extraordinary if they were snooping around her property banging at her door and being dumbfounded for, as Claire said, one full hour, but didn't hear a car running in the garage of her small house. (01:32:25)

Continuity mistake: When Helen shows in close-up Andi's napkin for the first time, look at the position of her finger, next to "Teaching." After a brief cutaway, it changes position. (01:57:05)

Character mistake: During the dénouement, Benoit Blanc starts "That night, Lionel faxed Andi's email to Miles." But it's established that he faxed it minutes after receiving the mail, which was sent at 4 pm. 4 pm in May, that's hardly 'night'. And it can't be night where Lionel is, since he shows up a little later together with Claire, from Connecticut, at the house of the victim in the New York area. (01:52:25)

Continuity mistake: When Helen grabs the bottle of hot sauce from Blanc's hand, the label turned between shots and it begins in Blanc's right hand when he was just switching it to the left in the previous shot. (01:45:15)
