Suggested correction: She doesn't put her foot in its mouth. She instinctively tries to kick it or she's just unlucky with where she moves her foot.

Mortug

She put her leg in the shark's mouth. It's too obvious even without slow motion.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 picture

Revealing mistake: Toward the end, after Ricky decapitates the old Mother Superior, a young nun assumes she is alive and taps her shoulder. Mother Superior's head falls off and to the floor.

Near Dark picture

Revealing mistake: When Caleb is running for the van (during the motel shootout) there is a dramatic moment when he is shot in the back and is in pain.

Suggested correction: The scene where he moves is intentional. In fact, Old Chief Wood'nhead is played by Dan Kamin, and he moves a lot more later on.

Bishop73

Suggested correction: He does give a shocked look when he see's the statue move its head a bit.
