The Manchurian Candidate picture

Other mistake: When Raymond shoots Senator Jordan, his first shot penetrates the carton of milk that Jordan is holding in his left hand. From Raymond's perspective, that carton of milk is positioned over Jordan's upper left arm; so, the first shot should have merely wounded Jordan in the left bicep, hardly a mortal wound. But Jordan's eyes roll up and he collapses as if shot in the heart.

Tomorrowland picture

Other mistake: While Casey was holding the pin she would bump into things and fall in her house. OK that makes sense. However, when she reached the city, how was she walking down steps that are not really there? She should be floating in the air or something.

Rosemary's Baby picture

Other mistake: Guy goes to the closet and gets Hutch's coat as he's about to leave after having coffee with Rosemary. If you look at her she looks ghostly as they applied more makeup to her face between shots. Unfortunately they missed some spots around her eyes and on her forehead. (01:06:50)

The Highwaymen picture

Other mistake: When Frank and Maney are driving through the West Dallas neighborhood and Frank asks to see the file, they pass a green car at the intersection. He then turns onto Bernal St and passes the same green car at the intersection. The houses are also the same.

Annabelle Comes Home picture

Other mistake: The movie is said to be set one year after receiving Annabelle, but the music box from The Conjuring is on the shelf. Judy in The Conjuring is an 8, possibly 9 year old whereas in this film she celebrates her 10th birthday. If Annabelle Comes Home" is only 1 year after obtaining the doll (2 years prior to The Conjuring timeline) then Judy would not be turning 10 years old; she essentially lost a few years of life rather than vice versa.

Citizen Kane picture

Other mistake: In the extremely low angle shot where Leland is drunk talking to Kane, a black visible object is stuck to the frame of the camera, bottom left. As Kane walks out of the shot, the camera pans up and it is gone.

Knives Out picture

Other mistake: During the revelation of the second death, when the killer opens the toxicology report they just retrieved, the date is revealed; it says it was issued on 09/27/2018. But the events of the movie happen in November (it's Sunday 18th Nov when Marta wakes up with all the reporters at her door). It should also be noted that when a close-up of the report was shown earlier (when Ransom was looking at the anonymous letter brought by Marta) that copy had a big stamp in a corner saying 11-17-18, that in this copy is totally absent. (01:56:55)

And Then There Were None picture

Other mistake: In the flashback of the denouement, Dr. Armstrong is shown dead face down on the beach, with the feet pointed ashore and the head to the sea. Mr. Owen takes also a sip from that Armstrong's flask and tosses it in the sand without capping it. However, Vera and Lombard found a corpse face inland and feet to the sea, and a flask with its lid in place. (01:28:50 - 01:34:40)

The 10th Kingdom picture

Other mistake: The second time Virginia goes down the slide in the 9th Kingdom, you can see that it is a stunt double hurrying to get off at the end.

Scream VI picture

Other mistake: When Sam and Tara first meet Gale outside, after Gale gets punched, pay attention to the multiple news crews behind her as they start arguing about Gale's book. Randomly, they go from paying attention and recording to suddenly all dispersing and packing up after the shot cuts to Sam and then back to Gale. This makes absolutely no sense. They're all involved in a very famous case; there's no reason every reporter there would suddenly start packing up in the five seconds they were offscreen.

The Invisible picture

Other mistake: About a third of the way into the film when Nick leaves school and is running home he gets hit by a car and run over by a truck. Before both events the vehicles horns can be heard, as if the drivers are warning Nick to get out of the road. If Nick was invisible there would be no reason for them to honk their horns at all.

Righteous Kill picture

Other mistake: After the main characters are talking in a bar, the camera shows a wire above a street. On the wire, there are 3 pairs of old shoes hanging by the laces. However, a closer look reveals that 2 of the 3 pairs are NOT actual shoes, they are just cardboard cut-outs printed to look like shoes and they have the same graphic. (00:36:25)

Who's Harry Crumb? picture

Other mistake: When Harry is being spun round on the ceiling fan you can see that they aren't moving fast enough to hold his body in a stretched out position,especially considering his bulk.

Heathers picture

Other mistake: Right after Heather Duke and Heather McNamara drop in on Veronica and Betty Finn playing croquet, Veronica talks to her parents about the suicides. She still has a croquet mallet in her hand, so little time can have passed. Heather Duke rushes in with a shopping bag, and tells Veronica that while at the mall they heard about Martha Dumptruck's suicide attempt. But Heather Duke had just left Veronica's house - there wasn't enough time for these events to happen.
