Super Mario Bros. picture

Revealing mistake: After the old lady steals the meteor rock from Luigi, the big lady in red picks her up and throws her off down below into a moving car. She gets up and shocks the driver, causing the car to rear end the vehicle in front of it. If you watch closely, you see the engine top shift forward and the back of it lifts up. This reveals it is just a fake prop attached to the vehicle and not a real engine.

Enchanted picture

Revealing mistake: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side. (00:35:40 - 00:40:35)

Looney Tunes: Back in Action picture

Revealing mistake: When the Chairman is watching the TV screen where Damien Drake is being interrogated, the man steps in front of the screen and says "he's about to crack," then he walks backwards as if being pulled, but you can tell the moment Damien puts his legs around him, after several steps.

The Court Jester picture

Revealing mistake: During the scene when Hawkins is in the jousting tournament, Griswald takes a swing with his mace and apparently smashes Hawkins' head (inside his helmet) off. Then the horse Hawkins was riding stops, and he extends his head from inside his suit of armor and smiles. Watch carefully throughout this shot - Hawkins' hair/the back of his head can be seen past the edge of the armor where the hole for his neck should be.

Eragon picture

Revealing mistake: When the dragon is hatching, a light bulb is visible just behind and to the left of her egg. (00:14:10)

Suggested correction: What appears to be a light bulb in the wide shot is actually a leather strap attached to a larger leather item. This can be seen more easily in the close up shot in the moment after the egg fully breaks.
