Tron picture

Revealing mistake: After Flynn, Tron and Ram take their drink, they resume their journey in their stolen Light Cycles. There is a shot of them coming around a corner and riding along a cliff side. If you look carefully (this is painfully obvious if you go frame by frame) they don't actually come around the corner. Their Light Cycles simply appear one by one and they make their turn. (00:50:40)

The Man from Snowy River picture

Revealing mistake: Throughout the film and specifically near the end after Jim has reclaimed Bess and the colt, there are visible horseshoes on the supposedly "wild" horses. While there would logically be a number of abandoned and escaped horses among the herd at any one time, those who joined them in a shod condition would not remain so very long in rugged country. Those born into the wild would never have worn shoes. Reason dictates there would be very few if any horses remaining shod at any one time.

The Last American Virgin picture

Revealing mistake: When Rick is having sex with Carmela, it's obvious that it's completely fake. The filmmakers tried to hide it by filming through the keyhole and only showing half their bodies but at one point you can see that Rick is lower than Carmela. Also Carmela is voiced over because her voice doesn't match her mouth. (00:43:10)

Victor/Victoria picture

Revealing mistake: Victor(ia) is supposed to be a male performer. Yet in the musical number closeups, the outline of her female cleavage is too obvious, in spite that she would be wearing bosom padding for her costume, and Patrons seated in the front row and the balcony would notice the difference.

Porky's picture

Revealing mistake: When Jarvis and Tommy are driving to school, and he asked if they got the black guy, the sun is overhead - but when they get to school, and they're walking and talking about it, the sun is to the left - like it's mid-morning around 930. You can see the shifts in the sun for about a span of about 4 minutes during that time. (00:04:50)

The Scorpion with Two Tails picture

Revealing mistake: Throughout the movie, practically every victim ends up with a broken, twisted neck. The "special effect" used for those deaths is...the actors wear their jackets backwards. It is made even more evident by the plot twist at the end.
