In Fifty Shades Of Grey (2015) Anastasia can’t decide whether her hands are in front of her or behind her. Also this film exists. That’s a mistake

Time mistake in horror film "Occulus"
I was watching Occulus last night. I saw it once when it was first released and rewatched it last night.
I noticed a mistake in the time.
It's in the scene where the brother and sister are in present time starting their experiment with the mirror. The sister is speaking to the cameras and says the time is 4:15.
A few minutes later her husband calls her (which he is supposed to do on the hour) and she chastises him and tells him it's seven past the hour.
Not a significant mistake but I thought it was interesting all the same.

As older Shauna is reading Jackie’s Diary from 1996, there are several references to pop culture that were released way later in the 90’s. Even Scream was released in December of ‘96, post the girl’s disappearance.

In Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln from 2012, they have historical inaccurate doors.
Sorry if this has been said before, but I have to put it somewhere. This fact has stuck with me since I saw this movie in theaters. I’m sure it has something to do with my undiagnosed something or other. In Lincoln, they have modern door closers on the some of the doors. Those specific styles were invented in 1877, 12 years after the events of Lincoln took place. The door closers in the movie didn’t even attempt to look less modern. The picture is terrible, but it’s the scene with the three men in Thaddeus’s office. You can see it much clearer in the movie itself.

Alien Romulus elevator.
I'm currently watching this movie, and I came here to post this right after this scene took place.
(Spoilers ahead)
They're in an elevator. And the gravity has been disabled on the ship. The girl says "The elevator won't work without gravity." And they show a cable spool, presumably what lifts and lowers the elevator. They show it unspooling, and the cable becoming tangled. This whole thing leads to a scene where the two main characters almost die because they can't use the elevator and have to climb up the shaft.
What fucking BAFFLES me is that on a SHIP in SPACE where there isn't fucking GRAVITY, why wouldn't you just have another identical spool, pulley, and winch on the other end of the shaft that would pull in the opposite direction, so the shit doesn't become tangled, keeping tension to make sure the cables don't tangle.
This is such an obvious safety and engineering oversight.

In James Bond Man with the Golden Gun the Assassin / Messenger Gets Shortchanged – Some Notes Not $100s
This has bothered me since I first saw it decades ago, but I never had the chance to freeze-frame and take a closer look at the envelope of money in The Man with the Golden Gun.
In the scene, the assassin hired to kill James Bond is receiving his down payment.
Problem 1: The money isn’t all facing the same way. That’s just sloppy, whether you’re an assassin, banker, or small merchant. It’s also careless work on the part of the film crew.
Problem 2 (the bigger issue): It looks like he’s being shortchanged. While the bill in the front is $100, there’s clearly a $10 note mixed in, and some even look like $5s.

Air Force One (1997) the bullet holes shot through the bathroom doors do not match the holes in the wall
https://youtu.be/ZiiTzp1zyUU?t=2770
Especially the second toilet. It's possible two bullets didn't make it through the first door (6 bullet holes in the door, 4 in the back wall) but in the second toilet, the bullet holes in the wall do not match the door at all.
I'm bored.

This may be too elaborate but in ‘No Country for Old Men’, Lewellyn hides the briefcase in the air duct to the left and then rents a room on the other side of the motel to retrieve it from the right. No way I draw it out makes any sense. (Please explain if I’m wrong because I’d love to be).

Mr. Robot (S01E07): Code from the Wayback Machine on a "90s site"
For context: This scene is supposed to be set in the late 90s. (Internet Archive's Wayback Machine had its public release in 2001)
Every line of code that isn't written in all-caps is from the Wayback Machine, and is prefixed with "wm-"

Mistake in "The parent trap"
During the camp scene, when Annie and Hallie recognise that they are twins and decide to switch places, Annie tells hallie that you have to cut your hair short and pierce your ear because she has it. But, when Hallie goes to London as Annie, everyone is surprised that she cut her hair short and got her ears pierced. But if Annie had already had them, then why are they surprised??

Jessica Jones (S1E4). Camera operator in view
Full on camera operator standing tall as a flag pole with his rig on his shoulders. It cuts to her walking away and he's just there. It cuts away and back to the same angle where again he's just there chilling.

Twister (1996) Bill drives on a muddy dirt road into a pair of tornadoes. Right after they see a cow flying through the air, you can see a red truck driving past them in the opposite direction through the back window, on a paved road.

Priscilla. Cast looking wrong direction.
In Priscilla, Elvis starts up his bulldozer (I don’t know) and drives towards the building you can see behind the crowd. They follow him now looking towards the building until he has knocked down a piece of the roof. The next shot of the crowd cheering has them looking back towards where he started and not where he currently is.
My wife also pointed out a moment in their montage in bed where Priscilla’s hair is not dyed as it should be before it later being dyed correctly in the rest of the montage. It’s the scene where they are in bed and the maid keeps bringing new meals.
Decent movie overall. Good performances out of the two leads!
