Urban Justice picture

Revealing mistake: There are 4 different vehicles in the movie that have the same license plate number (2PCE275). The first is on a white car owned by the gang member that shoots Max. Then you see the same plate number on the pickup truck of the skinheads that are harrassing Gary. Then you see the same plate on Steven Seagal's car as he drives away from saving Gary from the skinheads (incidentally, the front plate on his car is different than the back plate). The last time you see the same plate is on a Lexus driven by the guy in the all white suit who is going to buy the cocaine.

The Hitcher picture

Continuity mistake: Right after Jim has his nightmare while sleeping in the car, he looks around for Grace, who is standing outside the car looking at scenery. When Jim sees her, she has her arms crossed over her chest. The next shot, with Jim walking around the car, she has her arms by her side, and immediately after, the shot with Jim approaching her, she has her arms crossed again. All this took place in about 2 seconds, not enough time to drop her arms and recross them exactly the same way as the first shot. (00:19:35)

Superman/Doomsday picture Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Doomsday slams Superman down into the subway, the hole they make in the street is right in the middle of a crossing. But a minute later in the film as civilians are walking up to the hole, there are no lines anywhere around it. Moments later after Jimmy takes a picture of the hole, the shot cuts to a far angle and now the hole is next to the crosswalk lines, and in that shot the stairway entrance to the subway station also vanishes. The road also becomes much wider with more lanes, and the red truck turns around. (00:22:40 - 00:23:25)

Postal picture

Visible crew/equipment: At the shootout in the trailer park near the end, the redneck neighbour comes out of his trailer and his shotgun jams. Immediately after, he is shot with a machine gun mounted in the back of a white Mustang. Right at the end of his expletive-filled final line, you can see the safety cable from the pulley that jerks him backward through the wall behind him. (01:19:55)

Croc picture

Continuity mistake: When Andy Konsong discovers his brother's mutilated body in the bloody swimming pool, he vomits, then tries calling for help on his cellphone. As he makes his call, the gigantic crocodile lunges out of the pool and bites off Andy's arm, cellphone and all, above the elbow. Andy screams, staggers and lands on his back, but his only injury thus far is his severed right arm. His mouth is not bloody at all, nor should it be. The camera cuts to another angle as the crocodile lunges a second time; but, before it even enters the frame and bites into his legs, Andy's mouth is suddenly full of blood, his teeth are bloody, and blood is streaming down his chin, even though he has suffered no abdominal injuries.
