Continuity mistake: After Norbit crashes on his bike and causes the old men to laugh, he gets up and has multiple leaves in his afro. After two simultaneous takes, they disappear, with no explanation - or wind. (00:54:15)

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Deliberate mistake: At the very end when they are all running to get the car started, the boy is the last to hop in. In the first scene, he is well along side the car, but in the very next shot he is farther again. In the last shot, he is closer to the door and finally gets in.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Visible crew/equipment: When the family is trying to load the body of Grandpa into the VW, the shadow of the camera can be seen multiple times at the bottom of the frame. It shows up most obviously on uncle Frank's shirt.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the mad rush to get to the hotel, the family gets off on the exit and is trying to decide what to do. During this time, the camera angle changes several times. During this change, the traffic behind them disappears, and reappears between shots. Most noticeable is a semi that vanishes and reappears.

The Abyss (1989)
Trivia: The water tube that floats about was partially created with Adobe Photoshop, which was unheard of at that time. Adobe Photoshop had not been released to the public at that point.

Night at the Museum (2006)
Revealing mistake: In the park after the bad guys have been defeated and everyone starts returning to the museum, watch the T-Rex closely. In the overhead shot, he seemingly "floats" right through the branches of the trees which he normally would be moving. (01:34:50)

Jingle All the Way (1996)
Revealing mistake: Certain parts of this film were made during the spring months, not winter. In the background of the high up shots during the parade, leaves can be seen on trees (in the distance). Also, the grass is surprisingly very green, in several locations.

Apocalypto (2006)
Visible crew/equipment: When the prisoners are being sold at the market, there are several shots of people chanting right at the camera. In one of these shots, an obvious shadow of the camera and its magazine can be seen in the lower part of the screen. (01:10:36)

Bright Angel (1990)
Factual error: This film is set in Casper Wyoming, yet at the end, as they are pulling away, a visible sign for Interstate 80 can be seen. Interstate 80 doesn't go through Casper.

Happy Gilmore (1996)

Citizen Kane (1941)
Trivia: To get most of his extremely low angle shots, Welles often had to dig a hole in the set to place the camera and its operator in, given the size of motion picture cameras at that time. The best example of this extreme low angle camera takes place after the political rally is finished.

Bend of the River (1952)
Factual error: The chairlift for the ski resort on Mount Hood is visible in the scene that pans to the right just before James Stewart is abandoned on the mountain. This ski resort was not around when the film is set.

Cheyenne Autumn (1964)
Revealing mistake: At the cave near the end, there are several scenes with the secretary of the interior. These scenes with the main actors appear to be filmed in front of the background as they cast shadows on the other film and the lighting is different. This was most likely done because of budget limitations.

Cheyenne Autumn (1964)
Factual error: Monument Valley is certainly not one mile outside of Dodge City Kansas as it appears to be in this film. In fact there are no mountains that tall anywhere near Dodge City Kansas, but they appear in this film.
31st Aug 2006
Cheyenne Autumn (1964)
Factual error: The narrator mentions that the Cheyenne tribe split in half in northern Nebraska. The scenery would suggest otherwise, as there are no mountains that high in Nebraska.
24th Aug 2006
Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: After the bus has left the freeway and enters the city for the first time, there is a scene where Annie is driving the wrong way down a street and Jack can be seen standing right next to her. She pulls the bus onto the right side of the road and Jack puts the cell phone to his ear. In the next shot, he repeats the same action.
21st Aug 2006
Radio Flyer (1992)
Factual error: The walkie-talkies the kids use at the end of the film would not make the squealing noise they do. The walkie-talkies they have transmit on high enough frequencies that this would not happen. Mediumwave and Shortwave have this effect, not walkie-talkies.
4th Apr 2006
Fargo (1996)
Audio problem: When Carl is being beat up by Shep, Shep is shouting a whole bunch of obscenities and gibberish at Carl, but during several shots where we see his face, the audio is not matched up to what he is shouting.

16 Blocks (2006)
Other mistake: When Bruce and Mos Def are running through the alley near the beginning, they run past a Chinese man who slams a dumpster lid shut. Once Bruce pulls out his gun to look back, that same man starts running because he gets scared. In the next shot, he continues running, but soon stops as if he thinks filming is over. This is visible right before the camera pans to the right.
9th Mar 2006
16 Blocks (2006)
Continuity mistake: Watch the newspapers on the front of the bus when Mos Def is getting off. At one point there is a big hole and you can see out, but in the very next shot a newspaper is covering it again.

Chosen answer: Probably had to do with some sort of legal issue between the Subway Corporation and the television station the movie was airing on.
