The Fugitive picture

Other mistake: When Kimble takes the elevator to the conference to confront Dr. Nichols, he presses a button, but the one beside it is the one that actually lights up. In this particular elevator, the button he pressed is the one that should have lit up.

Falling Down picture

Other mistake: In the 15th minute, in the scene where the two gangsters first spot Michael Douglas, one is smoking a cigarette and smokes it backwards. The tan filter is visible on the end of the cigarette.

Robocop 3 picture

Other mistake: When Robocop is being repaired by the homeless guys, you can see clearly his stomach going up and down as he breathes. If he's mechanical he shouldn't be breathing, and even if they kept that bit of his innards, he's covered in a titanium shell so we shouldn't be able to see anything moving anyway.

Carlito's Way picture

Other mistake: The scene in which Carlito and Kleinfeld are disposing of a body off of Kleinfeld's yacht, it is obvious that the body walks across the top of the yacht, even though they are supposed to be carrying him. Also, when is the last time you seen a body do a summersault when thrown?

Demolition Man picture

Other mistake: During the scene where Phoenix is questioning the leader of the future society in his office, he says at least one word (hell) that he should have been fined for, and isn't. We see that there is a ticket printer in the room in a later scene, when Savage sets it off during his own confrontation. (01:06:50)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Maybe it's because Phoenix isn't coded, so the swear printer doesn't know who to fine, and for that matter, because of it, it may not even register that it actually is being said by a human (it might be assuming it is a recording) since there is no voiceprint/coding match to attach the fine to.

False correction as when Simon was using the computer on the street (the "damn I'm possessed" scene) he curses there and it gives him a violation there. So therefore the machine in the leaders office should have given him a fine as well.

True, but it may also be a technological limitation based on proximity, (when Phoenix is in the booth, it knows that the person who violated the rule is right there, as it can easily "triangulate" his position based on there being multiple microphones in the booth for better background noise rejection, vs in a room where there are potentially multiple people in the same room.

This is too much of a stretch to justify a mistake in the film. You're making stuff up about non-existent technology that isn't fully explained in the film. The mistake stands, whether it was deliberate to keep the flow of the scene or a slip in dialog by the actor.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Andrea is being sucked into the fan at the Gotham worlds fair, Batman rides in on his motorcycle. He turns into the fan to rescue her, but his cape is flapping in the opposite direction in which the fans are sucking.

The Assassin picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Nina assassinates a woman from the hotel room with a rifle, she kills her with three or four shots. The rifle she had was a bolt action and could not be fired that quickly.

The Real McCoy picture

Other mistake: In the close-up facial shots of the supposedly free-roaming tiger stalking in the bushes outside the house, a leash can be seen connecting the tiger to an off-camera animal handler.

Groundhog Day picture

Other mistake: On the second day, Phil did his same tasks at about the same time as the previous day, so everything lining up the same made sense. However, on day 3, he quickly rushes out of his hotel, avoiding interacting with most of the people he did before and gets to the street with the beggar much sooner than he did before. Yet Ned still is there crossing the street and sees him exactly the same as before. However with Phil having skipped so much he would have gotten there and passed that spot a good while before Ned would have gotten there, and they should not have had the exchange again on day 3. Same thing for when he arrives at the Groundhog Festival, with Rita greeting him like he's late. But he would have gotten there much sooner this time.

True Romance picture

Other mistake: When Clarence and Alabama meet in the movie, the scene from "Street Fighter" is initially seen at the beginning of the movie, the next scene they show of the film takes place at the end. (00:05:44)

Undercover Blues picture

Other mistake: In the scene after Jeff 'singlehandedly foils a bank robbery' and is arrested, Mrs. Blue and baby are sitting at the detective's desk. In the background of certain shots you can see Sawyer on the phone, always in the same position. But a moment later, the phone rings, camera still with Sawyer still in position although he doesn't move to answer the phone or speak. Then he moves and announces to the detective that the phone is for him when he didn't even answer the phone.

A Perfect World picture

Other mistake: When Butch steals the clothes and the Ford, Phillip pees for almost two minutes, which is OK for an elderly man with a malfunctioning prostate but not for a healthy 8-year old boy, not even after an overdose of RC Cola. (00:39:20)

A Bronx Tale picture

Other mistake: At the beginning of the film when "C" witnesses Sonny shooting the guy over a parking spot, Lorenzo quickly shuffles C upstairs. They are in their apartment not more than 10/15 seconds when a detective knocks on their door. There's no way the police would have shown up that quickly, let alone the detectives.

Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers picture

Other mistake: During the train chase Wallace steps onto the train track that's going to the left on-screen, then he goes to the right as if the train is going the opposite direction on the track.
