School for Scoundrels picture

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film when Amanda and Dr. P almost take off together, there is a shot of them boarding. Look to the top right corner of the screen and for just a split second, you can see a glimpse of Roger chasing after them, along with Amanda's facial expression turn shocked. I'm pretty sure this happens because in the alternate ending Roger caught them when they were boarding.

Open Season picture

Revealing mistake: Just after Boog breaks the dam and the deer herd is bounding across the dry riverbed, at the moment they realize they are going to be swept downstream by the wall of water, their legs disappear - just left out of the animation cell. Very obvious; no slow-mo needed to see.

Poseidon picture

Revealing mistake: During the scene in the bow thruster room near the end of the movie, Richard Dreyfuss rushes to the thruster tunnel access hatch to open it. As he grabs hold of the wheel, the hatch and frame visibly move, exposing it as the lightly built set that it is.

Mater and the Ghostlight picture

Revealing mistake: Right after McQueen asks what the Ghostlight is, it cuts back to the other cars. Luigi is right next to the firetruck and some gas pumps. The firetruck's door is very reflective, and the gas pumps are visible in it. But Luigi is right by the pump, and he is not reflected in the firetruck's door. (00:02:10)

Cars picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Luigi offers his service to Van and Minny, Guido is juggling wheels. But when Guido finishes, you can see over his right lift that his one of his wheels is not rendered correctly, as it seems to overstep his bodywork.

Children of Men picture

Revealing mistake: The infant baby was computer animated in every scene in which the face appeared. Even the feet were obviously touched up by computer in the hallway scene. The lighting isn't quite right, the skin texture isn't quite right, and the child's face is just too animated.

Big Momma's House 2 picture

Revealing mistake: When Stewart is working on his laptop at the satellite dishes, it is very obvious that he cannot type. He is tapping the keyboard repeatedly with several fingers, without moving his hands. (01:18:40)

The Darwin Awards picture

Revealing mistake: When David Arquette is preparing to drive his rocket car, he does a u-turn to get pointed in the correct direction (towards his friend who is filming). The image is reversed at that point, so that he appears to be driving from the passenger side of the car.

The Sentinel picture

Revealing mistake: In many of the scenes, particularly when Michael Douglas is leaving the cafe, you can see onlookers staring into the camera. A possible explanation is that few extras were used.

Over the Hedge picture

Revealing mistake: When Stella the skunk yells at the cat, she pokes him on the face. However, you will notice that the hand looks a lot like a human hand, not Stella's.

The Pursuit of Happyness picture

Revealing mistake: After Chris and his son learn that there are no more rooms in the shelter, the crowd begins to disperse. One homeless man touches a parking meter which moves easily, like a lightweight prop. (01:40:55)

The Illusionist picture

Revealing mistake: Uhl talks about Eisenheim's childhood, and about the vanishing tree. Problem is that not only the tree disappears, but also his very own shadow, making him look as if he's floating in a landscape, thus giving away the green screen effect. (00:06:50)

Minotaur picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where the group of unlucky virgin sacrifices make it to the Minotaur's sleeping chamber and are banging on the door trying to get out, one of them is gored and lifted into the air. When this happens you can see the harness and wires (the cables are about 1/2 an inch thick and black, one either side of the body). In the same shot the clothing of the gored victim is bunched up over the cables also. (00:47:40)

Trapped Ashes picture

Revealing mistake: When Phoebe is looking at herself in the mirror, she's trying to find out why she isn't attractive enough for roles. When she takes her bra off and inspects her breasts, it's painfully obvious that that is not her real torso, as her head kind of bobs around in a strange fashion, showing that her face/head was superimposed onto another woman's body.

Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise picture Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise mistake picture

Revealing mistake: While Suit is in a coma, there's a closeup of the monitor beside his bed showing Suit's vitals, and at the top of the monitor's screen are the words "adult simulating," with the timed "simulating" flashing off and on. There's also a strip of narrow filament tape covering "simulating," but the tape is transparent, so we can still see it flashing. (01:17:25)

Revealing mistake: When Michael fast forwards through traffic for the very first time, right before he hits the slo-mo button on the female jogger, if you look inside the circle part of the remote, the graphics are missing.

Facing the Giants picture

Revealing mistake: When the speaker during the first game played says "This game might have had a different outcome", everyone in the crowd looks at a different spot, but the small kids agree on just looking straight into the movie camera. (00:01:25)

Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj picture

Revealing mistake: In the badminton scene when Sadie flashes her breasts, her chest and abdomen are much more tanned than her hands and face are. The makeup people didn't match up the body double's skin tone to the actress'.
