Revealing mistake: When April O'Neil first tries to take pictures of the foot clan activity at the docks, almost every time they show her phone, the screen is black. In fact, when she finally tries to get the shot of the Vigilante we see a clear as day reflection of herself on the screen.

Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie picture

Kingsman: The Secret Service picture

Revealing mistake: In the Kentucky church-massacre scene, Harry briefly scuffles with a man in a light blue sweater. Harry elbows him in the ribs, sticks a grenade in the man's pocket, spins him around and delivers a crushing blow to his neck, then hurls him head-first into a wall. Throughout this sequence, the man is obviously a live human being. However, a fraction of a second before he impacts the wall, he transforms into a life-size rubber dummy before our eyes, in mid-frame, without any obvious camera cut. This demonstrates the complexity of the scene - it is a digitally-edited collage of action sequences almost seamlessly strung together into what appears to be one long traveling shot.

Expelled picture

Revealing mistake: As Felix recollects the time when he and Vanessa were dating, he mentions it happened in their freshman year. The Roxy tweet that broke them up is dated 12 Nov 2014. When they show Felix's report card, it says it's for the 2014-2015 year, so it would merely be a couple months before. (00:09:10 - 00:15:40)

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead picture

Revealing mistake: As Glenn, Blake and Monica are being surrounded by zombies, as Monica asks "Fucking hell, how many more of these are there?", in the background you can see a zombie sitting astride his victim, flailing away with a hammer or hatchet. It is obvious that he is just swinging his arm back and forth, without connecting with anything. It looks as if he is dusting, not slaying someone. (01:23:50)

Bang Bang picture Bang Bang mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the news reel detailing the Kohinoor theft, a few headlines appear, and at least one persists on screen long enough to easily spot the inconsistency between headline and article (filler text presenting a new local magazine from the London district of Lambeth). (00:09:00)

Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie picture

Revealing mistake: About seven minutes in, during the scene where we see Cooper helping the Nerd as a cameraman, you can tell that Cooper has been added to the scene using green-screen effects, as the actor was unavailable to shoot at the location. The lighting on Cooper doesn't quite match the lighting of the scene, and you can see a slight "blur/feathering effect" around him where the greenscreen background was removed.

Revealing mistake: In the scene were Viago is showing the locket that his girlfriend, Katherine, gave him, he puts it on, and since it's silver, it starts to burn his skin. The smoke from his burning flesh is coming from something on the table in front of him, not from inside his shirt.
