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)

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)

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)

Transmorphers: Fall of Man picture

Revealing mistake: When the Sheriff is in pursuit of the black SUV, there is a particular shot of the Sheriff's car doing a wide right turn and you can see that it's a young bald stunt driver, completely unlike the older, full head of hair Bruce Boxleitner.

Revealing mistake: In the scenes where Sam 1 and Sam 2 are in touch, the double is completely wrong. Wrong hair, wrong profile and wrong hind end.

The Hole picture

Revealing mistake: When Julie is trapped in the bathroom with the "ghost girl" she is saved when some other girls come in and switch on the lights. However, if you watch the girl who flicks the light switches you can see the switches are already in the "on" position (pointed upwards) and she simply mimes flicking them up. (00:26:47)

Dragonball Evolution picture

Revealing mistake: The movie shows in Matrix-esque slo-mo the double baton swing Goku dodges, from Fuller and his goon. They are nowhere near hitting each other, and yet, this missed baseball-bat swing causes them to KO each other in close-up. (00:16:55)

The Joneses picture

Revealing mistake: When Larry floats drowned in the pool, his face remains motionless until the very last second, when he starts to chuckle: probably a flaw of the actor straining for the last bit of air.
