Animal House (1978)

Revealing mistake: When Bluto first watches the sorority girls on his ladder, he moves to the left screen. As he is moving the ladder, the curtain in front moves too. The glass pane is not present, likely to prevent reflection of the camera.

The Gang Goes to Hell - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: Dee tells a woman on deck that a chair is hers. The woman shows that she already has a towel on the chair. Suddenly, her towel is fully laid out on the chair when she goes to sit down. At no point do we see her put the towel on the chair like it ends up.

Revealing mistake: About 40 minutes into the film, there is a shot of guys on horses going one direction. Before the shot cuts, a road sign pole is visible. This indicates the camera crew are on a dirt road.

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end, the camera is following Julie as she's being dragged by the horse. The shadow of the camera is easy to see on the left side of the screen.

S.W.A.T. (2003)

Deliberate mistake: A lot of the supposed handheld footage from bystanders on the scene couldn't have been filmed as such. People are on the ground, but the handheld footage is close to the action, as if the bystander is right there next to the action. This is a common mistake in a lot of movies.

Deliberate mistake: When the procession gets ambushed in the street by the guy with the automatic weapon, he shoots at the police cars. There are no drivers in the cars.
