On "Robot Chicken during the sketch about TV finales, they did a parody of "Facts of Life", but the actress and character of "Mrs.  Garrett" wasn't on the show anymore in the last season(well, according to "E! True Hollywood Story"... though still a funny sketch despite the innaccuracy).

On "Friends", when the gang watches that video where we first find out that Monica used to be fat, Chandler looks surprised, yet in later episodes it is revealed that he knew her when she was fat.  He also looks surprised that Ross was so geeky with the hair and moustahce, when it was also later revealed that they were college roomates

On "Yes, Dear", when Billy first shows up at Greg's door, Greg doesn't know who he is, yet in a later episode, it was revealed that they had met many times before ... when Greg first met Jimmy and got in a fight with that guy who wanted Kim, and at Jimmy's wedding where Billy was the best man

On "Frasier", actor John Mahoney played Martin Crane, the father of Frasier, yet in a 1992 episode of "Cheers", he appeared as man who Rebecca hired to write a jingle for the bar.  In one scene, he clashed with Frasier who was skeptical of the man's songwriting abilities.  I know it's not an error per se, as it's two different shows, but in that whole world of Frasier, it totally counts

The opening sequence of the movie "Anger Management" takes place in 1978.  A kid is seen wearing a "Dukes of Hazzard" shirt.  "The Dukes of Hazzard" did not premiere as a series until 1979

In the movie "There's Something About Mary", during a 1985 sequence as Stiller is walking to Mary's house, the song "Mary's Prayer" by Danny Wilson can be heard.  That song didn't come out until 1987

Watch the movie "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days" with the subtitles on.  During an apartment scene, the song "The Way You Do the Things You Do" by UB40 can be heard, but the subtitles are saying incorrect lyrics

In the first two seasons of "Happy Days", Ritchie and Joanie have a brother named Chuck (played by two different actors in each season).  From Season 3 and on, he is never seen or mentioned again, and in the episode where Joanie and Chachi get married, Howard talks about raising his "two" children

Yes.  Mrs. Garrett left after the 7th season

Music videos:


A Flock Of Seagulls "I Ran (So Far Away)"

The camera is seen in the mirrors, which is partly covered in foil


2 Live Crew "Me So H___Y"

One of the digits from the inflatable phone came off


MC Hammer "U Can't Tuch This"

Some of the dacners were out of sync and/or not dancing in some scenes

Prince "Raspberry Beret"

The background blends with Prince's clothes and the others in the video. Though probably was the intention, but looked crude

Rumble in the Bronx - Jakcie Chan gives that kid his "old" video game, and tells him not to play with it in class.  What he gave him was a Game Gear, which weren't really all that old at the time the movie came out, and if you look close, there's no game in it, so even if he wanted to play with it in class, it would be pretty hard to do without a game cartridge in it LOL

In the episode of "Seinfeld" where George gets caught urinating in the shower of the gym locker room, Kramer says he prefers to take baths instead of showers. But in the episode where the showerheads in the apartment building stop working and people have to buy black-market showerheads from the back of a van, Kramer says he takes showers and that he finds baths disgusting.

In an episode from the second season of "Ally McBeal," a woman is charged with having sexual relations with someone underage after she has a relationship with a 16 year old boy. This situation could not happen in real life, since in reality, the age of sexual consent in Massachusetts(where the show is set) is 16, so an older person having a sexual relationship with a 16 year old would be perfectly legal.

I have a few that I spotted:

Seinfeld: In an epidsode where Kramer is picked to be the new Calvin Klein undies model, Kramer is showcasing a pair of briefs and when he spins around, he loses his balace and falls against a wall and then on the floor. When Kramer lands ont he floor, you can see a streak that his body make up left on the wall.

Michael Jackson: During his 1995 MTV Video Music Awards performance, Michael does a move which calls for him to touch his chin and then his knee. When he does it, you can see a white spot appear on the left knee of his black trousers. Some of his peachy-white facial make up wiped off.  ;)

Prince: In his 1986 movie Under the Cherry Moon, Prince's character Christoper falls for a rich French girl named Mary while staying in Nice, France. The only thing is, throughout the entire film Mary speaks with a British accent!

Titanic: In the scene where Jack is having dinner with Rose after having saved her from jumping off the ship, Jack passes Rose a note. When he hands it to her, the paper is YELLOW, but when she opens it, it miraculously turned WHITE.  ;D

There's nothing wrong with that. On the TV show "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the captain of the star ship, Jean-Luc Picard, is supposed to be French but speaks English with a British accent. And in real life, I can think of a few prominent people from Europe who speak English with thick American or British accents because they spent some time living in those countries(they went to college there, or something), even though they can speak their own languages fluently.

In Casablanca when Rick is at the train station in Paris waiting for Ilsa, he is soaked to the skin. After he receives her note (that gets blurred by the rain), Rick climbs on the train and is as dry as a bone.

In Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, when they are in the bi-plane and his dad (Sean Connery) shoots the tail off, in the next scene, the tail is back on.

In the movie Twins (with Danny Devito & "AAAHHHH Nold", they are in the men's room and there is a bottle on top of the paper towel holder that keeps appearing and disappearing.

so I was watching South of Nowhere.  Its a show that airs on The-N and is about midwest teens adjusting to their family's recent move to LA.

One of the teens discovers she's a lesbian and gets a girlfriend.  During last season's finale the girl's mother finally accepted her daughter's lifestyle and the girl wanted her mom to attend a gay pride fair/parade in West Hollywood.  The mom couldn't but dad was totally supportive.

At one point dad and daughter were walking through the fair taking in the sights and suddenly in one shot they are wearing badges around their necks....these are sort of like the all access/backstage passes you get at concerts.  I can only guess that the cast  was being honored for the work they do to advance gay/lesbian issues and while they were using the event as a backdrop for an episode- the director pulled them after their appearance at the event to get just one more shot.... someone forgot to take the badges off tho.

In the movis Titanic, when Jack is drawing Rose, the film showed the actor painting with his left hand but when the camera showed the picture as it was being painted, the hand that was painting was the right hand is hairy and older looking, this happened because the actor is left handed but the actual artist is right handed and I that the real artist of the drawing was James Cameron (the director).

also in Titanic the entire events that take place are being told as a story by Rose as an old lady....yet they show scenes that occur when Rose was not around so how can she tell a story about something that happened outside of her presence.... one of the reasons I hate the film.

Chuck gives Sarah a charm bracelet which she wears on her right hand. 

At one point she is holding a gun in her right hand, her right arm is extended.

Ive;e posted this on the boards before but it really fits well here so...

In the animated classic Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, in the final scene when the elf
hands the misfit toys an umbrella so they can float down to their destination. He picks up the
bird looks at the umbrella then looks back at the bird, shrugs his shoulders then tosses the bird
out of the sleigh without the umbrella.

If you remember early in the show when the misfit toys say why they are misfits, the bird clearly
states he can't fly, he swims. That elf sent the swimming bird plummeting to a horrible death.

On "Toot Toot", Bessie says she's lactose intollerant, but have drank milk & eaten ice cream in older episodes

During the middle name episode, nothing happened to Hilary Higgenbottom when she said Bessie's middle name, which is a curse (something that brings bad luck, but a swear word).

This is NOT from a movie but a book (and yes, it was J.K. Rowling's booboo). In the 5th year, Harry could see the thestrals (the winged horses that pulled the carriages from the train to Hogwarts) because he had seen death (in this case, Cedric). However, he should have been able to see them since day 1 because he saw his mother die-even if he doesn't remember it.

maybe its a cognitive thing.. you only see them when you are aware you've seen death...or you are affected by the death you've seen. Not remembering seeing his mother die might mean it didn't affect his psyche in such a way that he would be able to see the Thestrals

I could create a new account and pretend to be someone...


so I was at party this weekend but I wasn't drinking. All of my friends were though. I drove to the party in a supped up 1977 Firebird Trans Am black with red flames with bicarb engine and pistol carb horses revving my engine to the nines  with a block of rims and.....


yeah I have no idea what I'm talking about  ;D

oh right, so I was at this party and my friend decided to drink some moonshine. you know moonshine has almost as much alcohol content as the Everclear I normally drink but I didn't drink any that night.  ;)  At the party some douche with a mullet said I looked hot and his friend said va-va-va-voom.  I really hate it when guys say I'm hot. I mean I am hot but I am so much more than that. I am really, really hot though.  ;)  So I told those guys to sit and spin but they thought I meant something else. So I told one I to meet me in the back room. I told him to take off his clothes and get in the bed- I said I would be there in five minutes. Then I told his friend to meet me in the bedroom in five minutes. I told him he would find me naked in the bed and to come in take off his clothes but keep the lights off.  ;D About six minutes later the two guys ran out of the room and started chasing me down the street. I had to run really fast to escape them. Fortunately, there was a cop at the end of the block and the guys were arrested for streaking.  ;D  That'll teach them to call me hot.  Oh my friend wanted to stay at the party so I hitched a ride with a guy, he was old but he drove a really nice Cadillac El Dorado. It was powder blue with silver rims, and had leather bucket seats that recline all the way back. Not that we tried them out or anything.  ;D  My friends really know how to throw a party.

In keeping with this theme .. Many movies set in an American city can easily be identified as being filmed in Canada ...


♦ Never Talk to Strangers (1997) - One scene finds Antonio Banderas and Rebecca DeMornay standing in front of the CHUM building in Toronto as you can clearly see the 'MuchMusic' logo in the background

♦ Police Academy (1984) - The very opening scene, you can see the Bank of Montreal building in the distance, which is located in Toronto

♦ Fantastic Four (2004) - More than just filming locations, but some of the background characters, as well-known Canadian personalities were used as reporters during the bridge scene: Terry David Mulligan (Ex-MuchMusic VJ and former City-TV Reporter), Ben Mulroney (host of CTV's 'E-Talk Daily' and 'Canadian Idol'),  and Devon Soltendieck (MuchMusic VJ)


Mostly by stores is the easiest way to define a show or movie was filmed in Canada:  In a Season 1 episode of '21 Jump Street' (circa 1987), the gang is in a shopping mall and a Woolco store can be seen in the background.  Woolco closed it's American doors in 1982, but kept it's Canadian chain of stores operational until the mid 90s

Most copies of 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' have been heavily edited for DVD and VHS release.  In the chase scene near the end, when the tire blows on the car, Clark says "Darn it all", but his lips say something else

When I first saw the movie years ago (like late 80s), the bathroom scene where Ellen does that showgirl style dance had nude scenes but on my VHS and DVD copy of the film, that part has been mysteriously edited out.  I once bought 6 different VHS versions of the movie to look for that scene, but no luck.  I know it was once there in the original movie when it first came out.  I remember

Not really an error but it has me scratching my head whenever I see it, no matter what the movie or show is.

Whenever money is thrown from a window, blown up or tossed out of a moving vehicle, whenever it is airborne
people will gather around and jump in the air trying to catch the money as it falls. Thousands of dollars are left
lying on the ground around the hoard as they keep making futile attempts of catching the falling money. I just
don't get it.

Keeping in mind that glitches have to be pretty obvious for me to see them (I admit I get caught up in even the lamest of movies)...

In the movie "Honey", toward the end (maybe last 20 mins) Honey's necklace keeps appearing and disappearing (Micah said there were other glitches, but wouldn't elaborate)

In the movie "Stomp the Yard" the scene where he is mowing the yard and talking to her, her earphones appear and disappear; later her purse does the disappearing act; and in a bar scene, the people are at their table then when she flicks her hair, they are seen walking by

Keeping in mind that glitches have to be pretty obvious for me to see them (I admit I get caught up in even the lamest of movies)...

In the movie "Honey", toward the end (maybe last 20 mins) Honey's necklace keeps appearing and disappearing (Micah said there were other glitches, but wouldn't elaborate)

In the movie "Stomp the Yard" the scene where he is mowing the yard and talking to her, her earphones appear and disappear; later her purse does the disappearing act; and in a bar scene, the people are at their table then when she flicks her hair, they are seen walking by

Please do find your list...

you know I have decided that the breakfast scene is an editing issue not a continuity problem....she has all that delicious food she tries a crossaint and puts it down while the camera is focused on Edward and picks up a pancake... or was it she was holding a pancake, took a bite and then she was holding a crossaint...either way there was plenty of time for her to put the item down and pick up something else while Edward was talking.... the tie scene tho? There's no excuse for that. . .  ;D

One of my favorites is form the Clint Eastwood movie Heartbreak Ridge.  Even though they claim they are in North Carolina at Camp Lejeune, it is obvious they are really at Camp Pendleton in California.  Having been stationed at both bases, it is obvious that they are nothing alike.

And in the classic Ghostbusters, Dr. Stantz (Dan Akroyd) tells the group:  "You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross-rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!"

Of course, the Tunguska event happened in 1908, not 1909.  I of course realized it the first time I saw the movie, being interested in the event since 1976 when the book The Fire Came By came out.

I remember a few about Pretty Woman too!  (It's one of my favorites!!)

The scene where they go to the park and spread the blanket out and he's on the phone? After she takes the phone, she takes his socks and shoes off. Then all of a sudden he's reading a book to her and the socks and shoes are back on.  Are we supposed to just assume that Edward wasn't comfortable barefoot and put them back on?

When they are eating dinner with Mr. Morse and his grandson, she is eating sorbet. It's gone, then it's back.

When vivian is sitting on Edward's desk, and she gets her "Safety Girl Items"  ;) out, she holds them like a deck of cards as she's describing them.  In one scene they're all a certain way. When they switch to Edward, then back to her, the "items" are in a different order.

The pancake/croissant flub is the most obvious and funny one, I laugh every time I see that one!

In the recent "South Park", Mickey said that he was in power since the 1950's. Technically, Disney was also a powerhouse during it's early years. Especially the 1930's where most of the cartoon shorts won an Oscar and also technological advances like full  technicolor and multi-plane cameras.  And the mouse was first created in 1928.

Though some could argue  since by the 1950's, Disney expanded to amusement parks, television, and live action films.

in the HBO miniseries Band Of Brothers, Pvt. Albert Blithe was shown shot in the neck. At the end of the show it stated
that Blithe never really recovered from his wound and died in 1947. Albert Blithe was actually shot in the shoulder. Not
only did he recover from the wound, he made a career of the military. He served in Korea in the '50s and had over 600
parachute jumps. He died in 1967 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. I say they really
blew it on that story line.

Most people may have more than one uniform but rarely do they have more than one name tag....

oh and everyone was filthy at the end of the last ep but now they are all clean... clothes and all.

he is at the party tearing up the keys and makes the teacher proud. So proud she says, "He's my student." Bill Murray
was the only one to realize he is repeating the same day. Every day he shows up at the teachers door it would be like
the first time for her. Why would she take on a student so advanced in piano?

Disagree.  You've gotta figure that he could have dedicated weeks, months, even years, to practice.  He's got 24 hours a day, and as many days as it takes to get it right.  So instead of spending a few weeks doing one piano session a day, and then trying (and failing) to complete the game's mission, he just writes off the next few weeks to practice.  He could have paid overtime, and been in the middle of a lesson when the clock struck midnight and the game reset.

Week 1: "I'd like to try piano lessons." (OK, the guy's a total n00b, but teachable.)
Month 1: "I'd like to try piano lessons."  (Not bad for a guy who's never played the piano before.)
Month 6:  "I've moved in from out of town, and would like to continue my piano lessons."  (Not bad for a guy with a few months on the keys)
Years (?) later:  "I'm a professional piano player, looking to improve my skills."  (Yeah, I'll see what he's got... maybe we can learn from each other)

When he finally decides ("So, teach, if I was to play like this in front of some cute girl, you think she'd be impressed?") he's good enough to win the game -- and still thinks "piano player" was the achievement he needed to unlock to make progress -- he takes a day off his lesson plan and makes a stab at getting out, and it goes something like this:

(Attempted) Last Day:  "I'd like to try piano lessons."  (OMGWTFBBQ, everyone has to see this guy!)

Sorry, I can't buy your explanation. Her boastful, "He's my student," implies she is the one who taught him. The party is also on the same day
that he shows up on her door step for the first time, even if he was an accomplished pianist looking to brush up on the keys, she wouldn't
have boasted about him being her student, especially since she had only met him a few hours before.

D'oh.  I'd forgotten about that!  I'll now grasp at straws to save myself...

Last Day: 

10:00 am) "Hi, teach me the piano."
10:05 am) *deliberately flubs everything*
11:00 am) *deliberately plays poorly*
12:00 pm) *starts playing competently*
1:00 pm) As she stares in awe, he starts going from competent to virtuoso stuff...
1:05 pm) "So, can I do that concerto thingy you told me about tonight?"

Change timestamps as required by the actual movie, but you get the idea.

The big question is whether or not the teacher would have believed he was really a piano n00b, but I'm sure (given a few days' work) he could have come up with a story that would have convinced her.

Actually, there's a more plausible way to do it:

Loop #1234:
11:00 am) "What, you don't remember teaching me 20 years ago?"
11:01 am) "No, you must be mistaken, I didn't start teaching piano until 15 years ago."

Loop #1235:
11:00 am) "What, you don't remember teaching me 14 years ago?"
11:01 am) "No, I don't"
11:02 am) "Yeah, you probably forgot about me.  I think you'd just started teaching when I left town.  But I was so inspired I had to continue..."

I don't know what month they go back to in HTTM but Hot, Cool & Vicious was recorded circa 85-86 and the album was released in Dec 86. Its possible an advanced single of Push It may have been circulating mid to late 86 before the official release of the album.

Yeah, "Push It" and "21 Jump Street" are distinctly '88 - '90.  The culture got tougher and louder at the end of the decade.  If you lived through it, you remember.  If you haven't, it makes little difference at all.

In the 1989 film 'The Wizard', the featured game at Video Armaggedon is 'Super Mario Bros. 3'.  When the host announces Jimmy has completed world 2, we see Mario jump to get a 3rd card which would mean he would have already completed 'LEVEL' 2 before.

When Jimmy finds the warp whistle, he uses it right away, or does he?  Look close, Mario is not standing at the completed castle.  He's standing at a completed level 5, which means after he got the flute, he then went and completed level 5 and no one even noticed.  Now those are some wizard skills.

We also see that girl Mora on level 3, but if you look close, she is on level 1 still (you can tell because of the ? block on the ground), but the host states she is on world 3.

The song 'Send Me an Angel 89' can be heard in the film, but the end credits have it listed without the 89.  If you know that song well, you know the difference between the 89 remake and the original 1983 version.

Not so much an error, but a location goof ...

The cult classic 'Class of 1984' starring Perry King and Michael J. Fox was filmed in Toronto.  The locale was set in the USA, as evident in the scene where Fox is seen raising the U.S. Flag, but in several street scenes, you can see a Mr. Submarine, A&A Records and Tapes and Sam the Record Man, all which were then well-known Canadian stores.  As well, the band that performs at the club that Tim Van Patten's character goes to is the group Teenage Head, who were a Hamilton area band known as the Ramones of Canada.

It's an error because the film in set in 1914 and the Tarzan Yell didn't come around until 1932 when Johnny Weissmueller starred in the first Tarzan movie. (well the first with Weismueller as the Jungle Man)

In Sherlock Holmes: The Musgrave Ritual, they figured out a map by using the measurements of an elm tree that was cut down a few years earlier. However, when the map was created-several centuries earlier, the elm would have been much smaller.

Here is a video about how they changed the town of Corinth, Vermont to make the movie "Beetlejuice" 22 years ago.  I was trying to look up whether the pretty covered bridge hat I remembered in that film was damaged in the hurricane and discovered the bridge was fake (made for the movie).  ;D

This one is not so much an error in a movie, but it is a plot hole in the continuation of a film series.

In the movie 'Casino Royale' with Daniel Craig, Judi Dench plays M, a role she has played in every James Bond film since 'GoldenEye' in 1995.  The story of 'Casino Royale' shows us James Bond when he first got his 00 status.  In the movie 'GoldenEye', it is referenced that it is the first time a woman has assumed the role of M.

the writers of Royale obviously didnt do their homework...the writers of Golden Eye couldn't have predicted the making of Royale... but those are the plot points I'm likely to forgive...
