Below the Belt picture

Other mistake: Rosa and her co-worker couldn't possibly be watching Terrible Tommy as she and Princess War Star enter the arena as the movie starts. Because later on they're shown wrestling in that same arena wearing those same outfits wrestling, a sign that scene was shot at a different time or a part of the wrestling scene where Rosa and another wrestler are watching Tommy.

Popeye picture

Other mistake: As the people are going up the ramp to the Oyl's party, the man in the brown stops by the piling with a paper. As he bends over, there is a sound of the pelican pooping, and the man reacting to poop on his paper. The man and his paper are on one side of the piling, and the bird's tail is on the other. He couldn't have pooped on the paper unless he threw it.

Alligator picture

Other mistake: David is trying to locate the beast through a map of the city - for some reason, since he already located it before. Problem is, the movie is set in Missouri but the map he's looking at on his bed is a map of Los Angeles (you can even read "Granada Hills"). Similar mistake a few minutes later in front of the sewers; you can easily read "Monterey Park" to the right of a different map he props against the wall. (00:37:15 - 00:38:35)

Smokey and the Bandit II picture

Other mistake: When Justices car gets crushed as is almost triangular shaped, and driving down the road, it shows a shot of Justice cleaning off some dirt from the dashboard. If you look at the hood/bonnet where all the crease marks are from the crash, you can see quite a bit of rust where the paint has flaked off. Considering the damage is only supposed to have just happened, there should be clean metal not rust.

How to Beat the High Co$t of Living picture

Other mistake: It's a funny line, sure, but when Jane is with her fiancé, he tells her that her mother and her lesbian partner "adopted a black baby" and "last week, she hocked her wedding ring to buy a crib." That's a little fast, considering the relationship happened just a little before the heist planning, a week. (01:04:20)

The Fog picture

Other mistake: After rescuing the boy, Jamie gets the 1946 Ford truck stuck, having rounded vent window frames. But inside as she tries to move the truck we see "dogleg" vent frames from say a 1963 Chevy truck (more pointed, angled back).

The Private Eyes picture

Other mistake: It is night-time when Dr. Tart (Conway) releases the 2nd dove out the window. Moments later we hear 2 gunshots and a plop sound of a dead bird. Which would be impossible as the shooter could not see a gray bird in the night sky.

The Changeling picture

Other mistake: When John is talking about the murder of the child Claire yells at him to stop but refers to him as George. George C Scott is the actor's real name. (00:57:35)

Hawk the Slayer picture

Other mistake: When Voltan murders the nun who betrays the group, there are a number of errors in quick succession. First, he appears to stab her in the arm, judging from the position of his body to hers when he stabs her. Second, there is no trace of blood on the dagger when he holds it up a second later. Third, her body seems to have disappeared (or at least moved) when the camera changes to a wider shot a second later. (01:15:19)

Coal Miner's Daughter picture

Other mistake: When Doolittle is running his jeep up the muddy hill near the beginning, the landscape changes. The hill is a straight 40° angle, but in the close shots behind the wheel, it changes to a steep 80° which no vehicle could realistically terrain, except perhaps an army tank. And he stalls out several times and has to back up, which would not happen at the 80* steep. Then he miraculously makes it over the top.

Shogun picture

Other mistake: After Lord Buntaro's archery demonstration, Blackthorne comes over to the post which now bears the three arrows shot by the Japanese. In the paper wall behind him a hole can be seen, which is to be the spot through which the arrows have come. but the arrows and the hole do not make one straight line, which would have to be the case if the missiles were to really have arrived from there.
