The Big One picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where the geoligist's husband calls her from the L.A. airport to say he's going to try to make it home, a strong aftershock collapses the wall that the pay phone is mounted on - as this occurs you can see cables attached to the wall pulling it over.

Fierce Creatures picture

Revealing mistake: Near the beginning of the movie, when all the zookeepers are being 'savaged' by bandicoots and chipmunks, a woman falls down and really hurts herself. Later in this scene, the woman is dropped from her stretcher, except before she is dropped, there is no-one holding on to the end of the stretcher nearest to us.

Suicide Kings picture

Revealing mistake: During the flashback scene where Max is describing the night of the kidnapping, the rainfall at the marina is obviously fake. The "rain" is being blown at an odd angle from an off-camera fan, and the surface of the water is practically still with no raindrops. (00:40:50)

Drive picture

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film, when Dacascos is fighting that other guy from Hong Kong, if you watch just after he does this smart kick, the guy's actually an Asian stunt double, and a lot shorter than Dacascos (best seen on the DVD putting it in slow motion just before).

Mouse Hunt picture

Revealing mistake: When Ernest is climbing up the chimney to get the mouse, the chimney shakes/wobbles slightly, showing us that it's made of rubber.

Jack Frost picture

Revealing mistake: When Jack is melting after being showered with acid, at one point, there's a very obvious cross-dissolve used to blend two shots into one as Jack is reduced into a skeleton. It almost works, except suddenly, the snow around him is slightly different. (Some impressions into the snow and whatnot appear during the fade that shouldn't, as does a few pieces of debris.)

Mr. Magoo picture

Revealing mistake: When Magoo is skiing downhill, and the camera points directly at him whilst skiing, if you look to either side of his skis, you can see the tyre tracks of the vehicle towing him.

For Richer or Poorer picture

Revealing mistake: When Brad and Caroline are running off in the taxi, across the border to PA, it is obvious that the lighting inside the cab are studio lights from the traveling crew, as natural moonlight would not reflect so strongly inside or out of the cab, at that speed.
