The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones picture

Revealing mistake: Early on, after Clary blasts the demon with a homemade explosion that blows a huge fireball across the kitchen and blasts out the window, there is no sign of anything being burned, not even the curtains. The kitchen is only in a slight shambles and there are small fires burning in isolated areas that never spread or char anything.

World War Z picture World War Z mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the family's car is about to be hit by the ambulance as they try to escape downtown, Gerry is driving and his wife is up, leaning over the passenger seat talking to their daughter. The camera angle changes to a view from behind, and as the ambulance is about to hit, we can see there is nobody in the car and the ambulance driver is wearing a safety helmet. This is viewable in just a few frames. (00:08:00)

A Single Shot picture

Revealing mistake: At the end of the film when John Moon is digging a shallow grave for the dead girl (who has been dead for days, and spent additional days in a freezer also). You can see the dead girl breathing by the way her arm is moving on her chest. (01:46:00 - 01:47:00)

Suggested correction: She is teasing him, goading him, trying to make him find out for himself whether she is going commando or not.

No, she is not. She spreads her legs and reveals to him she isn't wearing any panties and then tells him he's not allowed to touch her. What would be the point of goading him to make him wonder if she is going commando when she's very deliberately flashing her privates at him?

Lone Survivor picture

Revealing mistake: When Mark Wahlberg removes the shrapnel from his leg, it is pretty obvious that it is a fake leg. If you look at and compare its dimensions to the rest of his body, you can see that that would be the leg of a giant man. The thigh is way too long, and the whole leg is way too big for his body. You can also tell by his body posture that his real leg goes into the couch he is sitting on.

Safe Haven picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough are in the row boat, it starts to rain so they rush to shore. They huddle under a tree and you can see behind them that the rain is only falling right around them - only slightly further away on the lake there are no rain drops hitting the water.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty picture

Revealing mistake: When Walter is floating in the water, his shoulders are well out of the water because Ben Stiller was wearing a lifejacket under his shirt. In real life, he'd be up to his neck and have trouble keeping his head above water.

Revealing mistake: When Brooke arrives at the camp to drop off Steph and Chrissy, Chrissy leans out of the car and vomits, but you can see that she's not really vomiting, and is using her hand to cover up the special effects tube.

Revealing mistake: A reporter is interviewing Jobs using an old analogue tape deck recorder - the reporter says he's recording, and a red light is on the hand held tape deck unit, but the tape and its spools are not spinning - the unit is not switched on. (00:53:00)

Revealing mistake: The female head trainer of the Tiger's Den puts a blindfold on and with a kick KOs the trainee that was sparring with the children. In the close-up of the kick you can see it is miles away from connecting. (00:17:05)

Blue Jasmine picture

Revealing mistake: When Ginger and Augie get into the limo nearish the start, it's obvious the street has been closed for the filming of the limo driving down the street because the limo driver goes across a red light. You can't see the red light directly, but you can see the green light on the opposing street.
