    The boat yard in the beginning of 2 Fast 2 Furious (when Brian and Tyrese race for the job for the Cuban dude) is a Sea Ray dealership in Miami. And I've been there once.

    In the first Charlie's Angels when Drew Barrymore falls down a cliff and lands at the back of these kids house. They're playing Final Fantasy VIII....multiplayer.

    In Star Trek II, Chekov and Terrell appear on the bridge of the Reliant in the "Round perdition's flames" scene with Khan and Joachin. They were supposed to have been stuffed in the locker on Regula 1 already, because the scene starts with "Course change to intercept Enterprise ready, sir." "Excellent."

    What's known as a continuity error.

    In Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, I noticed that Robin Hood's Nottingham accent sounds a lot like a Californian accent.

    They must have done terrible things to him in that prison in Jerusalem

    They also continually press the buttons despite the fact that we can see there are no selections being made onscreen. If they wanted the kids to pretend to play an action game, they should have put an action game on the screen.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    HAhahaja I noticed this as well and was like WTf in the theater. Stupid prop person not knowing anything about vidyas.

    This post would get way too long if I listed things I noticed. I try to just watch a film without pointing out the obvious continuity or logic issues but it's hard. I love however when I discover things I didn't notice watching it the first time.

    This isn't about any movie in particular, but something I have noticed about movies in general.

    No one actually ends a phone call by saying "goodbye" or something. Both characters magically know that the phone conversation is over. Random example I am making up:

    Person1: Yeah, I saw it on the news, man.

    Person2: Did you see when the monster destroyed the civic center?!

    Person1: Yeah, they wouldn't stop repeating it!

    Person2: It was crazy!

    Person1: Yeah...

    *both hang up*

    Or when hey say that they'll make plans for something and everyone magically knows what's going on somehow?

    Person 1: This is super important person I just met and don't have any contact information for.

    Person 2: I know it is, we should regroup later at a specific time and location and do something about this.

    Person 1: I agree.

    *Both people leave. Have no way of contacting each other. Never specified time and place*

    *Both show up at non-specified time and place*

    Yeah, I thought about mentioning that once as well. I know why both those things are done and other aspects like it. It makes the movie flow better, but I personally think it comes across as weird.

    One kind of like what we're talking about is when two or more people want to say something privately in front of a person or a group, so they'll simply turn around and start talking at their normal volume. The other person/people would totally be able to hear them. Again, doing this makes a movie flow better and I get it, but stuff like that still makes me chuckle a bit.

    In Mel Brooks' spoof Robin Hood: Men In Tights they make fun of that fact.

    I wish i could answer the phone with "yea?" or "what?" or "speak" like in movies but I always look like an arse.

    I also like to end a phone call after an important point by hanging up without saying goodbye, like sephex mentioned, but they always call back like "so uh is that it? or did our connection cut off?" and im like "no smurf off i was being dramatic" and hang up again and then they call back like "so were you being dramatic again or is our service just terrible today" and this goes on for a little while

    I literally speak to my sister on the phone like people in movies. And god forbid my mother calls me, then you see me adopt a full on military style of "yes" or "no" answers.
