Showdown in Little Tokyo picture

Revealing mistake: When Dolph is shot, Brandon says, "It went straight through," meaning that the bullet went straight through Dolph's body. However when it cuts back to Dolph later you can see the bullet has entered the heart region. In other words the heart would most likely be damaged and Dolph would have been dead. (01:09:20)

Problem Child 2 picture Problem Child 2 mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Junior can't get on the Crazy Dance because he is a milimeter too short. After seeing Murph (the 20-year old in his class) and Trixie (on heels) get on it, Junior speeds up the ride and all the kids on it get dizzy and barf everywhere. If you look where the puke shoots out, it's a bit obvious it's not coming from their mouths, but from a point behind them. Most obvious are Trixie and the boy wearing glasses.

The Last Boy Scout picture

Revealing mistake: Close to the end of the film when Joe is in the woods with all the bad guys, he starts to shoot them, as he shoots the first bad guy, if you pause it before he shoots, you can see that there is a rather large lump in the guys forehead where he gets shot, obviously some kind of squib or something to make the effect of being shot in the head. (01:13:30)

Pure Luck picture

Revealing mistake: When the plane is delayed because the luggage got crushed, the sign changes their flight status to DELAYED. It's obvious that the one that changed is the only row meant to move. The letters are spaced out so that they can flip over but all the other letters have no spaces and actually look like stickers.

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear picture

Revealing mistake: About half an hour into the movie, when Frank is in the tank, he plows into a supposedly concrete zoo wall, which wobbles. Also, the wall splinters where it meets the sidewalk, revealing that the "wall" is actually a wood prop, and a flimsy one at that. Five seconds later, when people and animals are shown running out, the same wall is shown with a different shaped hole and pieces of concrete lying around it. Apparently the concrete pieces aren't too real either, as the camel kicks one around as easy as if it were made of foam. (00:30:25)

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead picture

Revealing mistake: The scene which introduces Sue Ellen working on her new job at Clown Dog firstly depicts people walking in and out of the shop, while the staff serve at the counter. As one family walks out, a boy turns his head to glance directly into the eye of the camera just as he's about to exit the screen frame. (00:17:50)

Barton Fink picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where John Goodman is facing off with the cops, the walls of the hotel catch fire as Goodman runs down the hallway towards the cops. You can easily see the pyrotechnic cord strung along the wall.

The Pope Must Die picture

Revealing mistake: When the rock band drop Luccia off at home, they knock over a statue. It's supposed to be stone or marble, but you can see by how much it moves and how it falls over, that it's actually plywood or some other lightweight material.

Delicatessen picture

Revealing mistake: When the postman goes upstairs to see Julie with the package, he steps on the broken step and falls down the stairs. As he rolls down, the bulky outline of kneepads under his trousers is visible. (00:17:30)
