Massive movie errors

In the movie ‘Control’ Ian Curtis states that he despises David Bowie but just before he commits suicide there is a Bowie picture on his wall.

Is this an error or a subliminal meaning?

Neither, because that scene occurs in 24 Hour Party People

Edit - You're actually conflating 2 different scenes in 24HPP.

Shortly after Tony and co. see The Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall, they're all at Alan Erasmus's pad smoking weed and Alan is tearing down posters off the wall, one of which is David Bowie (in his Diamond Dogs guise, IIRC) prompting Lindsay, Tony's girlfriend to remark "Not Bowie!"

Later on in the film, when Joy Division, Tony and Rob Gretton are in the car driving back from the studio and listening to the track they just recorded, Ian points out that he sounds like Bowie, then goes on to say he "hates Bowie" because he lied about wanting to die young (which foreshadows Ian's suicide)

I have watched 24HPP and Control far too many times

The hoverboard scene in Back to the Future, that seriously injured the stuntwoman, was left in the film. The woman hit the pillar instead of going through the window, and in the next scene you can see her falling to the ground.

In series one they are happy to support Sunderland in a friendly but in a later series they become very anti mackem.

In the first episode, Oz's car has a Sunderland sticker on the back window and they take the mickey. Oz says he'd just bought it.
In another episode Oz goes to a Mackem European match and finished up back in Newcastle.
 
Green Street Hooligans.

There’s no way Frodo Baggins was wading into those fights, he’d have had Samwise throwing haymakers for him the insufferable little nerd.
 
That scene - all of them in fact - in the Jack Reacher films where 6'5" cool dude Reacher gets played by an angry dwarf.

In the Godzilla v Kong movies they go to the centre of the earth and gravity seems the same as on the surface. That is at odds with Newton’s inverse square law of gravity. Otherwise, the films are pretty plausible.

Except King Kong would probably die from overheating and would likely collapse under his own weight, but yes.
 
In Jaws when the guy in boat gets his leg bitten off it is shown sinking to the bottom wearing a trainer, but the guy was seen previously in the boat barefooted
