Days of Thunder picture

Other mistake: After the drivers enter their cars at the Daytona 500 at the end, there is a shot where Russ Wheeler's #18 Hardee's car is in the inside lane and mid-pack a row ahead of Cole's car on the outside. In the overhead shot as they get the "start your engines" command and the shot immediately following, you see Cole on the inside and Russ on the outside of the last row. This is compounded because they show Russ looking to his right and Cole to his left at each other indicating that they have reversed sides again. Also, Russ starting mid-pack would not be feasible and back of the pack unlikely since they said he won the pole. Even with the Duels races setting up the lineup, the front row qualifiers still stay the same at Daytona. Russ could be at the back if he made changes to his car (which Cole did). Not sure if either of those rules were different in 1993. Along the line of the Duels, the plot seems to imply it is Cole's first time back in the car and he is nervous. However, he would have run in practice and his duel race already by the start of the 500.

Quick Change picture

Other mistake: At the very end, a plane just sitting at the gate was used to simulate one preparing to leave. The landing gear ground safety pins (with red streamers) were still installed as the engines were started, but the pins have to be removed beforehand to keep personnel clear when the engines are running.

The Hunt for Red October picture

Other mistake: When the Political Officer reads the orders, they're supposed to test the silent drive and return home "on or about the 16th of this month." Shortly afterwards, Jack Ryan is briefing Jeffrey Pelt, and asks "isn't it the 23rd?", meaning the 16th of the month is in the past.

The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter picture

Other mistake: When Bastian and Atreyu gets to Xayide's castle, laser beams are are searching the ground for the intruders. Right before Bastian gets hit by the laser we see him running for Atreyu. Then we see light (obviously from a spotlight) being switched on and hitting the rock which Bastian jumps on. However we see the light from the spotlight move out of position as if the person controlling the spotlight thinks that Bastian will run further off the rock. When it cuts the light is back on Bastian and the rock. (00:39:00)

Arachnophobia picture

Other mistake: Irv and Blaire's death scene doesn't make sense. When Irv poured butter on the popcorn, he should've noticed the spider in the bowl. Also, when Blaire picked the spider up, she should've felt it. Both of them still appeared to be watching the TV after being bitten, which also didn't make sense. Why didn't they have seizures like the other victims?

Men at Work picture

Other mistake: When the bad guy is sliding down the tube and there is a close up of his face, it's constantly lit. There couldn't have been any light in the tube, since it's completely closed.

The Final Sacrifice picture

Other mistake: In the scenes that take place in populated areas, there are never any people seen anywhere in the streets. Not even during the "high-speed chase" (where the thugs' car does not quite manage to catch up with Troy on his ten-speed bike) in the town do you see anybody.

Pretty Woman picture

Other mistake: As the hotel manager is going over table manners with Vivian, when he picks up the salad fork he says salad forks have 3 tines, but when he puts that fork back on the table you can see it has 4.

State of Grace picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Pat walks into the empty bar, (just after Terry leaves), he shoots the owner several times. The first shot shatters the bat the owner is holding. The next couple shots hit the owner and he begins to fall, holding a bat. Fully intact.

The Witches picture

Other mistake: Before the Grand High Witch starts the meeting, Luke is watching the witches sit down, and he doesn't recognize the Woman in Black. This doesn't make sense because the Woman in Black attempted to kill him during the treehouse scene before any of them arrived at the hotel. The Woman in Black is even the first witch who tries to capture him when he runs on the stage.

Captain America picture

Other mistake: When the President escapes from his cell, he immediately calls down to Sharon. Not only does he not know Sharon, no-one has given him any indication she's even down there, and she's also not said anything to raise awareness of her being there, or her name.

Mermaids picture

Other mistake: Near the end of the film, Charlotte and her mother (Mrs. Flax) are having a blazing row. Mrs Flax calls Charlotte 'the town tramp', and Charlotte retaliates by telling her that the town already has one. This results in Charlotte receiving a huge slap. This slap would leave her cheek as red as a tomato, but as the scene continues, there isn't a mark on her face. A tad unrealistic?.

Bird on a Wire picture

Other mistake: The official FBI database lists Diggs by his full name, "Diggins, Alan", followed by the Diggs alias, but Sorenson for the Feds is simply "Sorenson, E.", no first name given. He can't have been convincted and served time without even a full name. (00:14:30)

Other mistake: Even though Mason Storm is avenging his family's slaying by corrupt cops and a politician, he has committed several crimes while doing so - he snaps the neck of a person when he has them incapacitated after a fight, then he commits 2 car jackings, then he holds someone at gunpoint, innocent or not he would have been arrested along with the conspirators for the murder and carjacking.
