Star Trek picture

Revealing mistake: When the Federation fleet is preparing to warp to Vulcan, you'll see the first ship blast off, but the second ship blasts off out of nowhere. You could argue that the ship was out of sight and below the Enterprise, but the light trail isn't that long. The light trail starts in front of the Enterprise where you should be able to see a star-ship. (00:40:45)

The Blind Side picture

Revealing mistake: When they are watching football, the mom walks in and says something to the family while she is holding 4 Pepsi cups in a cardboard cup holder with only one hand. If the cups were actually full, the way she was holding it it would have tipped over.

Miss March picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Tucker takes off his fireman outfit, there's a waitress at the right side of the screen with four wine glasses on a tray. Gravity seems to have no pull on the liquid or the glasses, as both remain stuck even when she tilts the tray too far towards herself. (01:03:10)

Fast & Furious picture

Revealing mistake: Just after the Buick spins around to knock the trailer loose, we see the Buick speeding away backwards alongside the truck. If you look carefully you can see the REAR tires are steering, not the fronts. This car was modified with the body mounted backwards on the chassis because the transmission only has one reverse gear, so to get the speed and handling needed, the car had to be going 'forward' with a 'backward' body. (00:05:30)

Madea Goes to Jail picture

Revealing mistake: When Cora and Madea are driving the mini-van to go to anger management you can see that the gear shift lever is in the up or "park" position. The lever should be in the "drive" position.

American Pie Presents: The Book of Love picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Marshall "Lube" Lubetsky has just fallen out of the cable car on the mountain and Ashley climbs down to get to him we see foot prints in the snow coming from the trees on the side to where Marshall is lying, giving away that the actor walked to that position, when the character is meant to have fallen there.

Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever picture

Revealing mistake: When the girl is giving the guy a blow job in the school restroom, he finishes in her mouth. She goes to the sink and spits it out. You can obviously tell she had a mouthful of water going by the color and quantity. (00:20:45)

Race to Witch Mountain picture

Revealing mistake: When they drive out of Vegas, headed for Witch Mountain, there is a shot that appears to be made with a camera on a mobile cherry picker. The camera sweeps across the road and up high, watching as the vehicle passes under the camera. As it passes the camera, you can see a trail of dust that was kicked up by the cherry picker. It crosses the road and is still floating in the air from a recent crossing.

The Pink Panther 2 picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene at the Pope's apartment, when Clouseau enters the balcony for the second time to "look at the moon", there is a third shot from his back when he is leaning out of the balcony. You can see a platform which supposedly was there to help him easily fall out. (00:54:35)

Thick as Thieves picture

Revealing mistake: While breaking into the vault Gabe and Ripley use two ratchets to pull the large block that they cut out of the wall. The block moves as they pull the ratchet arm back. The block however moves only at the end of the pull for the second pull which makes no sense. This was an obvious timing error from whatever was really doing the pulling. The ratchet itself would've only pulled the block an inch at best. Additionally, when the block is almost out it shifts unnaturally showing that it was not made out of concrete. (00:56:45)

Revealing mistake: When both Lisbeth and Mikael open their Apple Mac computers and use them, the little apples on the outside should light up, but they don't - neither computer does; they're switched off or not powered up - Mikael even goes to the trouble of connecting his to a power cord.
