Alien 3 picture

Continuity mistake: Just after the doctor started the post mortem on that little girl, the front of his gown is covered with blood. Yet, a few seconds later, after the two other guys appear, his gown looks better, with less blood. And during the whole post mortem scene, the blood spot actually changes its size a few times. (00:17:55 - 00:19:55)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer picture

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is out shopping for her dress and Pike is on his bike beside her, they stop to talk and have an argument. Buffy walks off and Pike turns his bike around to drive off, but as he does this, his bike suddenly moves a few feet away from the wall he was right next to in the previous shot. (01:01:05)

Innocent Blood picture Innocent Blood mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the chase scene about an hour into the movie, Robert Loggia is shown entering the Liberty Tunnel, driving on a wet road. Note the vaulted round ceiling of the tunnel. Next, we see a series of shots of him in the tunnel, and then a shot of the sun rising over Pittsburgh as he is about to leave the tunnel. Here is the problem - the sunrise shot is taken from the Fort Pitt tunnel on a different day. Note the dry road, the barriers to the driver's left at the tunnel exit and the Fort Pitt bridge straight ahead. There is no place for the driver to make a left turn out of this tunnel. Also note that the POV is from the left lane. All the Liberty Tunnel shots show Loggia in the right lane. The next shot shows Loggia exiting the Liberty Tunnel and making a left turn from the right lane, causing a pile-up. (01:11:10 - 01:12:20)

Critters 4 picture Critters 4 mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Ethan is going into the space ship, one of the critters pursues him. We then can see a man's shadow on the ground, most likely the cameraman's shadow. (01:04:15)

The Lawnmower Man picture

Visible crew/equipment: At the end when Dr. Angelo and Peter are escaping the blast, just after Angelo jumps down over the facility wall and calls for Peter to follow, for a second you can see someone holding the back of Peter's shirt to help him drop down, or it might be a rigging of some kind.

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle picture

Factual error: When Marlene goes to the greenhouse and is killed by the falling glass, this would never have happened. It is a federal law that all greenhouses, skylights, and entry-ways are to be made of safety glass. The glass would have to have been made of either a Tempered glass, which breaks in a thousand pieces, like a car window, or Laminated glass, which cracks but does not fall apart, like a car windshield. Neither one of these glasses would have killed her. Surely, law abiding citizens like Clare and her Husband would have followed the zoning laws that came along with building their greenhouse.

Split Second picture

Continuity mistake: When Stone leaves the building he lives in, there is writing on the wall saying which way to go for each floor. When the killer enters the building, the wall is blank. (00:37:00 - 00:41:40)

Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the old lady comes out of the cafe and the children come out from behind with the remote control car, she shouts at them to get away. As she turns to cross the road the children turn to follow her. In the next shot when we see them out of the bingo hall they are walking ahead as if they had never turned to cross.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me picture

Continuity mistake: When Chet and Stanley asks Irene some questions (in the café, about 15 minutes into the movie) about the murder, the cigarette Irene smokes changes a few times between the shots. Most obvious is the length of the ashes. (00:16:13)

976-Evil II picture

Revealing mistake: When the attorney Ms. Lawlor is being 'hijacked' by the ghost (we only hear his voice) Grubeck in her car, it is very obvious that a person in a black ski mask and black clothes is driving the car.

Sleepwalkers picture

Continuity mistake: In the last scene, Tanya gets her arm cut on a piece of glass in the window by Charles, just before he turns to fight a cop. In the next shot the glass has disappeared from the window completely.

Plot hole: There's no way Dr. Lynn Waldheim's coat would have fitted Carter.
