Rule 1: Post requirements Posts must point out an unintentional mistake that made it into the final or extended cut of the film or TV show unless it's a [META] post. Please explain it if it's not obvious. Also, don't post "<bad movie> was a mistake", it's an overdone joke.

In Treasure Planet (2002), during the final dance sequence, B.E.N’s eyes flicker yellow for one frame. In context, his eyes were green until he regains his memories, which makes them blue.

Terminator 2; Guy behind the glass.

It happens in this clip right at 43 seconds after the swat team says get down on the floor now, okay drop him...then if you look close you'll see him out back and to the left behind the big windows.

Somebody has had to call it out before...Of all the years spent watching Terminator 2, for some reason never noticed the guy behind the glass during the swat team scene...I got a 75inch tv now so its the first time im noticing. Wondering if he's just a crew member or suppose to be police in the movie, he kinda just strolls up casually, and almost looks like he's got his hands in his pockets too lmao.. so im guessing crew...but either way a funny find

Watching Travelers on Netflix(S1E5) GoPro mount shown in shot

As I was watching Travelers S1E5 I noticed this little flaw in filming. They shot this without taking the GoOro holder out of car window. The scene is around 01:09.

Dark City (1998) safety rope left in shot.

John is running from the Strangers and flings open a door which opens to a drop. There is an obvious safety line in one cut.

Late night with the Devil- why use a Costco Pumpkin 🎃?

Just watched the Late Night with the Devil movie. Why would they mess up the 1977 vibe with a Costco Pumpkin Halloween decoration?!?!

Ted Lasso S02 Ep05. Rebecca is writing a message without touching the matching letters for "I suppose". The very obvious hint is that she's typing the double "p" without going anywhere near it on the keyboard.

Subtitle Error In The Passion Of The Christ.

I've noticed this for years:

When Pilate agrees to let Jesus be crucified, he washes his hand and says to a Pharisee:

"It is you who want him dead. Not I. Look you to it."

It should say something like: "I'll LEAVE you to it" or something more grammatically correct.

In Venom 2 Let it be Carnage (2021) when Venom forces the motorcycle off the road, it turns the handles right at quite a reasonable high speed instead of leaning right and counter-steering.

Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning (2023). Vehicle on the corner of the turn disappears during a chase scene.

Im guessing they had to move it so the larger vehicle could actually make the turn without potentially hitting it.

Snack Shack, set in 1991, shows characters in various scenes handling the newly designed $5/10/20/50/100 bills that weren’t distributed until the late 90s.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any reviews mentioning this and more surprised they didn’t catch this ahead of shooting and find/print the other pre-1996 bills instead.

In David Lynch's Dune (1984), I saw someone trip and fall in the background as the Guild Navigator is wheeled into the room.

It happens around 6:07 into the film, or at the start of this clip. Look at the lefthand side of the screen, near the bottom of the doorway/column. You'll see the guy stumble and put his hand out to catch himself as he falls behind the other actor.

Aronofsky's Debut Film

^(Edit for clarity on which film this writeup is about: the first couple comments urged/hinted that I should include the film title in the post title. Not seeing the option to edit the post title, but I'll share right here so it's conspicuous.)

^(Aronofsky's debut film was called) ***^(Pi)***^(, hence I posted this on the traditionally associated date of March 14th.)

^(Further addendum on WHY it's called Pi: as noted below, the main character's name is Max. He's a mathematician with a venerable mentor called Sol. Sol is retired from a long career that included the study of Pi and (implicitly)) the discovery of a mysterious, noteworthy number >!that was 216 digits long!<^(.)

^(Note that the focus of the movie Pi, and of this post, is much more on) >!the oblique implications and fictional significance of the 216-digit number!<^(. It's scarcely about the number pi at all.)

^(On flair for this post: maybe some story-logic anomalies can be boiled down to plainly-defined errors, but I hazard these particular ones cannot. The film is about higher math, so it's natural that the math will get checked. Issues range from the near-empirical (two printed copies in different scenes reportedly don't match) to requiring expert-level consultation (I'd like someone fluent in Hebrew to assure me there really is no way to use Hebrew letters to generate) >!a number with zeroes!<.)

^(End of edit. What follows is my original post.)

I remember that sense of profundity and surrealism when I first saw it...

(It's not new, natch, but this contains certain spoilers.)

Fun Fact Featured In Film

Hebrew letters have numerical value. I believe it's a Hasidic Jew who shows protagonist Max a sampler of how the writing computes in meaningful ways.

Tying In True History

Characters also expound about the incineration of the Jerusalem Temple at the hands of Romans. (I've read that Rome denied this, claiming they gave the Hebrew people a fair shake.)

The Fantasy Element

!One of the documents destroyed by the blaze was the only inscription of a single 216-letter intonation. (Seems God's full name is just that long, thus it's difficult for the Rabbis to remember.) As the generations passed, all but the most faithful despaired of this holy word presenting itself in the world again.!<

The Unfolding Revelation

Meanwhile, Max has been running some elite-level math through the most cutting-edge computer he could assemble. He doesn't understand why >!the attached printer spits out a 216-digit number a couple times after crashes. When intel leaks about the connection, some believe it's the key to cosmic mysteries.!<

My Question

It was much later when I revisited this movie and thought to doubt that alphabetical characters would correspond to numerical. Why would anyone expect >!a 216-letter string in Hebrew to match a 216-digit number in base 10!<? 📷

Other Errors Listed on IMDb

Someone reports that >!the printed numbers in the movie don't match!<. They should. Again, it's supposed to be >!two copies of the same number!<. (Perhaps >!the cosmic number isn't a constant after all!<, but that's a speculative stretch.)

Furthermore, >!both printouts contain zeroes!< whereas no Hebrew letter has a value of zero. (I've yet to hear a Hebrew language expert weigh in on this. Can we rule out that letters could >!compute to digits including zeroes!<? Even if yes, it's awkward to reconcile.)

And, in one line, Max assumes out loud that >!the Hasids have spent the centuries testing all possible intonations!<. Problems there:

  • he must just assume there's a means of doing such tests
  • also, he seems to have forgotten what they said about that proposition being...
  1. blasphemous
  2. conditionally fatal
  • mathematically, sources say the combinatorics of 216 characters are astronomical

Max is supposed to be a world-class mathematician. YOU'D THINK he'd assume they wouldn't even contemplate what he's speculating about.

It's missed potential since real mathematicians could have edited plenty of Easter eggs into the script. There'd be so much for fans to discover.

Instead, although I'm not saying the film loses its mystique, I do find it hard not to laugh. 📷

Anyway, when but today would I have occasion to share thoughts about the movie Pi?

Damsel - 2024 - Netflix. Multiple errors.

The dragon has Horizontal slit pupils that are seen in prey-like animals, this pupil type helps animals to spot vertical motion of PREDATORS; the dragon is clearly an apex predator and has no predators especially from the sky, the pupil type should have been Vertical slit pupils which help track horizontal targets (ground and air) as well as the slit allow a greater expansion of the pupil to let in more light. This I think is a major error and lack of attention to detail in my opinion.

The other thing was when Elodie finds the girl from the previous day in the castle dead, it does not line up with "every generation" offers a sacrifice, so why would 2 girls be sacrificed? I am only half way through but it could be 3 sacrifices from when the pact with the dragon started.. Ignore this last one if im wrong. 😉
