Not really sure if this is a continuity error, but in Terminator Salvation how no one is able to hear the big ass robot coming up on the 7-11. They would also be able to see that thing coming miles away in that desert.
Also in the movie Mean Girls (don't judge) during the halloween scene Lindsay Lohan walks into a room and her friends spill their bowl pop corn all over the place, the next shot of the two friends the bowl is full of popcorn again.
In Paul Blart: Mall Cop there is a scene where Paul is locked in a tanning salon and gets all of the tanning shit on his white shirt, causing it to turn brownish. After he falls through the roof (I believe) his shirt in one shot completely looses all of the tanning spray, and in the next it is back to the dirty brown.

they changed the monster thing to try to make since to the people who havn't read the comic it really was the only flaw in the moviePhoenix Arrow said:
Because they started marching long before that. If you're not gonna bother to read the book which explains things, at least watch the scene from the extended edition which does. Elrond (Who has magical elvish powers...and scouts) sees that the kingdom of Rohan will soon be attacked by Isengaurd. He moves to prevent this particular happening by persuading Galadriel to send archers to Helms Deep. She does this, and everything turns out for the better. No continuity errors there.littlerob said:
Also, Lorien is about the same distance from Helms Deep as Isenguard, Elves march faster and longer than Orcs (Including Uruks), so once again I see no problems here.
Not to duble post...But there's no error here either. The First Lady was in LA, or at least close to it, and they do mention this in the movie. That's why she has to call Mr. Prez on the phone instead of talking to him in person. Just because the White House has billions of phones doesn't mean the family uses it for everything.Vim-Hogar said:
Actually, a stable time loop is more easily possible than any of the other time-travel conundrums. However, this is only true when only information is involved. (When an object goes through the loop, you end up with an infinitely old object, because it gains wear and tear on each cycle.) Think about Star Trek IV, where Scotty gives the formula for transparent aluminum to the plexiglass guy.Trivun said:
As for continuity errors I've seen, check out Star Trek: Generations. Soren's hanging on a rope. He cloaks the missle launcher with a remote. The knot unravels and he starts falling down the cliff. Then, the knot (that just let loose) catches on a pole, yanks him to a stop, and makes him drop his remote.
If that weren't bad enough, try this one... The remote that he dropped landed on a metal bridge over a canyon. Kirk goes after it. Soren fires his weapon and breaks the bridge in two pieces just as Kirk gets to the bridge. You can see the remote bounce into a groove on Kirk's side of the bridge. After a little interlude between Picard and Kirk, Kirk suddenly has to jump to the other side of the bridge to grab the remote. Also, while Kirk's shimmying out onto the bridge, there are close-ups of the failing bridge supports straining under his weight, and almost breaking. Kirk jumps to the other side of the bridge, grabs the remote, and decloaks the missle launcher. Then, the supports snap and send the bridge and him careening into the canyon. Weren't the supports that were straining under his weight on the OTHER side of the bridge?
Did anyone else notice that in the first Jurassic Park they are all fretting because the fat tech dude shut down all of the power and that it would take months to reboot the systems due to layers of codes blah, blah, blah, and then at the end the girl walks in and presses like 3 buttons and brings all of the power back. That just does not seem right to me, or maybe i'm missing something.
The Godfather films are havens for continuity errors. Breathing corpses, missed punches, cigarette's constantly changing hands in conversation...
Also, in the mask where Stanley dives into the river to get the mask... he goes back to his apartment and is obviously really wet. His shoes are making a squelching noise... Yet when he gets into his apartment he's bone dry :O

Because she's a computer whiz and the rest of them aren't. The fat guy was (I think), but the black guy was not. In the end computer whiz > normal ppl when it comes to computers, who'da thunk it.Judgedread said:
As for the godfather...breathing corpses are not a continuity error. It's bad acting, tho to be fair keeping perfectly still for any extended period of time is difficult.
i dont mean in regards to the overall star trek canon. (although emploding vulcan irked me.) the whole movie was full of plot holes. like, how do romulans have all those tattoos? how does nero have such a powerful array of weapons if his ship is only a mining vessel and is stuck in the past? what does he do for the 20 odd years between when he attacks the kelvin and captures spock? what the hell is "red matter"? why would they maroon an able bodied cadet (kirk) on an ice planet when they could just lock him in a space closet or something? why are spock, scotty and kirk all on the same planet at the same time? things just sort of happen because they are cool looking. case in point the sabotage-corvette scene.Meado said:
this thread seems to have devolved into movie plot holes but no one seems to have noticed any of these. which is surprising. oh, and the only thing that makes X3 watchable is ellen page in a tight leather onesy.
there was also something in the book where goldblum's character got ripped in half and the whole intro of the second book was him being put back together through the miracle of science.Judgedread said:
they can rebuild him, they can make him faster, stronger, better, but they cant make him funny!

This is kinda off topic because I think it's actually kinda hard to spot;
There's one (a continuity error) in Aliens.
During the 'Hive' scene where the Marines move into the Atmosphere processor.
Keep a close eye on Ripley and whether or not she's wearing her comm-link headset. You'll know it when you see it.

*********SPOILER WARNING***************************
The new terminator movie, John Conner is shown to have intense hatred for machines, he condemns the terminator character with irrational hate and is confused that it seems to possess independant thought believing that all machines are evil.
Yet... in Terminator 2 and 3 the ONLY reason he survived was because of machines especially in Terminator 2 where he befriends and develops a bond with the terminator and sees the human side and also notices that the machine is capable of understanding the value of human life. So therefore he has already encountered and indeed befriended and indeed OWES his very life to machines having independant thought, so why so surprised to see one later on?

Maybe this is just me and my fascination with boots, but Watchmen. Silk Spectre 2's boots kept going from flats to high heels. Maybe its explained in the comic as something she can do, but seeing as how i have yet to get ahold of it......i kept pointing it out when i saw it to my friend.
X3 had continuity errors not just with the movies but with the characters for those who read the comic books and there were enough that I would have to re watch it to name them all. One of my girl friends and I were talking about the errors with Rogue for a good half hour today.Meado said:
Only one I can think of is in Sweeny Todd, when Tobias is told that the meat goes through the mincer three times. And later Tobias finds a whole toe in one of the pies. If it goes through the mincer three times there will be nothing that big left.
