Revealing mistake: When Rose and her boyfriend are making a toast in her apartment we hear a perfect chiming sound. We can see that they're both holding their glasses by the bowl instead of holding them from the stem. Holding a glass this way would never allow a chiming sound.
Revealing mistake: When FDR is getting put in the pool at warm springs for the first time, you can see see his normal legs and they have not been done over by CGI, to look as though he has suffered through polio.

Revealing mistake: When the president is thrown out of the window by Carpathia, it is obviously just a CG shot. Not only is the president obviously CG, but the glass from the window breaks into neat little triangles. Right.
Revealing mistake: When Ryer and Rand jump off Rand's window and down to the street, they land on a tree. Notice the severed branches; instead of being broken [presumably from the falling bodies], they are cut rather smoothly.

Revealing mistake: When Chas is being thrown up and down between the ceiling and the floor, if you look closely as Chas is falling from the ceiling to the floor and goes up again, when he goes up it's just a rewind of him falling down. (01:28:35)

Revealing mistake: On the morning of the hydroplane race at Madison, Indiana, there's a shot of the Sun rising from behind the horizon. But- the Sun is seen moving toward the upper left. Madison is in the northern hemisphere, so the rising Sun ought to move just the opposite, to the upper right. Undoubtedly it was easier to photograph a sunset and run the film backwards.
