Tropic Thunder picture

Revealing mistake: During the helicopter escape scene before Tran fires the rocket at them, you can see Cody's hair showing up a bright green from the green screening. You see it several times, but most pronounced at the moment he and Portnoy see Peck arrive with the TiVo. (01:36:10)

Suggested correction: Actually it's from the overhead Plexiglas windows in the Huey. They are tinted green to cut down on sunshine. Any light shining in from above is going to make things appear green.

Cyborg Soldier picture

Revealing mistake: The El Camino that is going over the cliff, which has just been shot in the tailgate with a 50 caliber rifle, has no tailgate damage. Also at the same time stamp, when the El Camino is upside down, it is obvious there is no transmission or drive shaft in the car. They even show you this with a close-up. (00:46:20)

Joy Ride: Dead Ahead picture

Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie Melissa jumps from the burning truck leaving Rusty inside. As the truck bounces down the slope it catches on fire and explodes.

Cloverfield picture

Revealing mistake: As Rob, Hud, and Lily are rescuing Beth from her apartment, the view outside the window is tilted roughly 45°. This is due to Beth's apartment building being partially collapsed against another building, demonstrated previously by an exterior shot. However, the characters are moving within the apartment with no difficulty or apparent change in gravity, even though they should be struggling to remain upright in a significantly tilted apartment. This makes it clear that the scene outside has been added using chroma key technology, and the camera has simply been tilted to create the illusion that they are on an angle. (01:01:30 - 01:01:52)
