Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Fin drives the vehicle to blow up the last tornado he's wearing his watch, but after he presses the nitrous button as he jumps out and lands his watch has suddenly vanished. Then when Fin runs back to his family shouting, "Get out of there," he's watch-less, but after pushing Claudia out of the way his watch is back on his wrist.

Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: The style of the chainsaw that Fin uses at the end changes between shots, in the shot from the perspective of inside the shark's mouth - note the second black handle. (Both chainsaws can be seen on the table earlier, in the scene at the surplus warehouse).

Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: Once April and Claudia are in Fin's car, when Fin says, "My luck, sharks," it's raining and the wipers are on, swishing back and forth, but in the next closeup as Nova says, "Mine too," the front windshield is perfectly dry and the wipers are not on, then next shot it's back to rain and swishing.

Sharknado (2013)

Revealing mistake: While Matt and Nova are up in the chopper, Baz loads the vehicle then asks Bobby how the front end is looking, and in the next overhead shot we can see that one of the center spokes has been removed from the front of the vehicle, but when Luellyn pushes Bobby out of the way Luellyn is skewered by that non-existent spoke - which was digitally added. The real spoke is back on in later shots.

Sharknado (2013)

Other mistake: During the scenes at the liquor store and in the surplus warehouse, most items on the shelves have tape covering their brand names, and even all the liquor bottles and other items have been turned around to hide their brands.

Sharknado (2013)

Other mistake: After the bridge rescue, when the wind picks up the letters of the Hollywood Sign are uprooted and take flight, and we see the "Y" flying through the air, but later when they're driving away we can see Mt. Lee behind the car with the remaining letters, and the Y is still mounted there.

Cougar Town (2009)

Breakdown - S1-E23

Trivia: While Jules and Travis discuss his graduation and Jules' popularity in school, Travis looks through his mom's yearbook and comments that there's a picture of Jules "dancing onstage with Bruce Springsteen." Courteney Cox, who plays Jules, appears in Bruce Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark' music video from 1984, as the girl in the audience who's pulled onstage by Springsteen to dance with him, towards the end of the video. This was Courtney's first acting job.

The Boogeyman - S2-E6

Visible crew/equipment: When James Charles, the guidance counselor, says, "It could be someone you know, or it could be a stranger you pass at the grocery store," the actors' red T-marks are visible on the floor at Reid's and Gideon's feet. Then when Charles continues to say, "gathering information on the case," we can also see the actor's white T-mark beside the counselor's feet, where he will stand after he introduces Gideon.

Ghost Whisperer (2005)

Pieces of You - S4-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Melinda heads out to go on a run, while she and Sam/Jim are standing beside her car, in the shots facing Sam/Jim we see Jim's face, actor David Conrad, and in the car window's reflection we see Sam's face, actor Kenneth Mitchell, which is deliberate for viewers since Jim's spirit is in Sam's body. But just as Melinda says, "He worked a lot of weird hours, and liked to sleep-in a lot," it's amusing that in the reflection we can see both actors - David Conrad walking and then standing behind Kenneth Mitchell, both of whom play the same role and are wearing the same grey T-shirt.

Steel (1997)

Trivia: When Uncle Joe gives John the hammer he made, after Joe comments on the hammer's special shaft, Susan and John kind of roll their eyes at Uncle Joe. Richard Roundtree, who plays Uncle Joe, played John Shaft in the 1970s.

Modern Family (2009)

Don't Push - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: While trying to take a new Family Portrait, after Cameron, Mitchell, and Lily shake out their faces, say cheese and take another photo, Cameron goes to look at the laptop screen and there's a closeup of that newest photo, but when he tells Mitchell to look at the screen it's a different photo - note Lily's goofy eyes, etc.

Super Grover

Visible crew/equipment: During the long car chase, after Freya tells Matt that he's an awful driver Matt makes a sharp right turn and the car chasing them stops short, and when they back the car up we can see the reflection of a crew member wearing a hat (perhaps the cameraman) on the car window.
