Inspector Gadget picture

Revealing mistake: At the party where Inspector Gadget lights a cigar for Scolex, he uses his thumb which flips open to reveal a flame. When they cut to the close-up of Scolex getting the cigar lit, you can see that there is a hand holding up a traditional lighter, and not Inspector Gadget's thumb any more.

Interceptors picture

Revealing mistake: When the Interceptor team flies in their cargo plane to Mexico to investigate the UFO crash, several shots filmed from the front show the six of them all in the cockpit (not in the body of the plane.) They're seated as they might be in a car, three across, front and back. The window of the cockpit looks remarkably similar to a station wagon windshield, down to the large rectangular front windshield, and even the rear view mirror is in place.

Revealing mistake: When Plunkett and Macleane emerge from prison they walk through a gap between a woman cooking and a circle of people around some men fighting, Macleane first, followed by Plunkett.

Three Kings picture

Revealing mistake: When they find the paper map sticking out the Iraqi soldier's bottom it is neatly rolled up and straight. One should imagine it being quite crumpled after having spent some time in this particular hiding place. (00:08:00)

The Boondock Saints picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Rocco kills the two 'goodfellas' in the restaurant, he hides his gun by holding the gun behind his coat. Before the shot switches, you see the gun go off, yet the hammer is down the entire time. The revolver could have been single or double action, but the hammer would still have to have gone back. It is easier to see the gun go off on the NC-17 version or on the deleted scene, but you do see the flash on the R version.

The 13th Warrior picture

Revealing mistake: During the final battle, Buliwyf's dog mauls a Wendol warrior. As he does so you can see the obviously rubber bear's tooth on his headress bend as the dog's head catches it.

The Mummy picture The Mummy mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When Imhotep transports Evie, Beni and himself back to Hamunaptra, Evie hears the plane and looks up. Before she states "O'Connell," you can see the letters and numbers on the side of the plane are backwards, like a mirror image - it says "B5538" backwards, which resembles "BE228" (no mirror). (01:32:15)

Beowulf picture

Revealing mistake: When Beowulf is fighting Grendel in the sanctuary and is climbing up into the rafters, his black support wire is visible. (00:44:10)

Lake Placid picture

Revealing mistake: During the opening sequence, when the fish and game officer is just about to be attacked while looking inside the nest, there's a clear reflection of his lower body as the camera moves closer from behind him. This reveals the diver is in some type of tank, otherwise, this could be a piece of equipment, like Plexiglas (or similar,) put in place within a real body of water for filming purposes.
