Suggested correction: I could not see Will's speedometer or tachometer (RPM gauge) during his drive to Frank's. What I did see (and believe you saw) was the patrol officer's instrument panel while he was parked along the road using radar. This was before he pulled out to chase Will's speeding SUV, so both gauges should have been on the far left (i.e, on "0"). [00:46:28].

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 picture

Revealing mistake: When Sonic and Tails arrive in Green Hills on the biplane, Tom and Maddie are looking up at them, but not focused on the same point. Instead, Maddie is looking to the left, and Tom to the right.

Jurassic World Dominion picture

Revealing mistake: While in the helicopter, Alan's eyes do not align with the location of the Dreadnoughtus. Alan is looking to his far right before the helicopter even approaches the dinosaur and it is shown across the front of the screen. Alan's eyes then stay fixed straight ahead (even after passing the dinosaur), giving the impression he's looking at the dinosaur, but he would have needed to keep turning his neck to the right as the helicopter flew past in order to keep it in sight. (00:35:14)

Suggested correction: It's a common movie trope. The two things aren't happening in sequential order. They're happening at the same time. Alan isn't looking before the helicopter approaches the dinosaur...you're seeing the inside of the helicopter as it approaches and passes the dinosaur. They're happening at the same time.

Eraser: Reborn picture

Revealing mistake: The rhino that killed (or "erased") Paul was obviously CGI and quite fake-looking, especially the way it was running. (01:32:50)

Poker Face picture

Revealing mistake: The aerial view showed it was not raining during the "supercar race", but the ground views showed at least two cars getting sprinkled on (one enough to turn on the wipers). When the camera shifted to road-level, the cars and road were dry. (Suggests filming at different times). (00:31:15 - 00:31:48)

Detective Knight: Redemption picture

Revealing mistake: During the (second) bank robbery, the ceiling was frequently unusually close to the top of the robbers' heads (inadequate clearance), indicative of a poorly positioned green screen (or CGI). (00:16:35 - 00:17:00)

Memory picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene wherein Detective Marquez and Senora Borden are drinking wine by the (indoor) pool, the back of Det. Marquez's head is disproportionately large. Front views of Det. Marquez often show his head tilted to the left, but rear views usually do not and his head might even be tilted to the right. Also, Senora Borden's eyes do not appear to be aimed correctly at Det. Marquez's (especially since they are facing each other with heads tilted to the right). Use of stand-in and/or green screen. (01:02:30 - 01:03:10)

Black Warrant picture

Revealing mistake: Initially, there is a little movement that can be seen in the passenger's side mirror on Juan's car, but it is subsequently reduced to still-frame. Also, the driver's side mirror is tilted upward, showing movement, but not in a typical position to enable viewing of vehicles behind the driver. (00:00:55)

Fortress: Sniper's Eye picture

Revealing mistake: Robert's upper body is leaning against a pillow with his adjustable bed at about a 60° angle, and stays at this angle when there are front views of him. After Paul arrives, views of Paul that include only part of Robert's stomach/torso show Robert lying at a lower angle, closer to 45°. Sometimes, the blanket representing where Robert's stomach would be is all that is included. Robert [Bruce Willis] probably was not present when front views of Paul were filmed. (00:25:09 - 00:25:33)

Uncharted picture

Revealing mistake: During the scene with the ships hanging from the helicopters, Nate decides to fire a cannonball at the other helicopter as it's coming towards them. A standard cannonball shot from a 36 pound cannon that the Spanish used on their ships weighs 16.5 kilograms (the weight of a large full water dispenser bottle) but Nate tosses it around like it weighs nothing.

All Quiet on the Western Front picture

Revealing mistake: The French tanks that attack Paul et al. Towards the end of the second act are supposed to be Saint Chamond tanks. There is only one of those left in the world, and it is not on screen: the undercarriage and tracks don't even come close to looking like that of a Saint Chamond, because it's actually a BMP-1 dressed up to look like a Saint Chamond.

Sniper: Rogue Mission picture

Revealing mistake: Interior versus exterior views of the window sill/ledge are different when Brandon is aiming his rifle out. From inside the building, the window sill looks flat and the front tripod legs are close to the inside; from outside the window, the front tripod legs are over the window frame plus the ledge is layered. In some shots, it also looks like the window pane was opened horizontally to the left, but Brandon opened it by pushing it vertically upward to overlap the top pane. (01:00:43 - 01:01:41)

Bullet Proof picture

Revealing mistake: At the hangar junkyard, there were a few 5-gallon gas containers around several "flammable" barrels that The Thief shot at in order to ignite/cause an explosion near Temple's goons. The huge explosion engulfed the whole area, but seconds later it could be seen that the flames were confined behind or within the circle of barrels and the gas cans were not affected. (01:13:10)

Double Threat picture

Revealing mistake: Jimmy's [Matthew Lawrence] glass of cola on the table is filled to a level slightly above the groove (mortar joint) in the cement block wall. The next front view shows the top of Jimmy's glass slightly above the same groove and the level of cola is about 2" below the groove. A little later, the level of cola in the glass is like it was earlier - slightly above the groove. A cement block wall is stationary and nobody raised or lowered the table; use of a green screen can explain the anomaly. (00:08:05 - 00:08:41)

Devotion picture

Revealing mistake: During the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, just before VF-32 comes in to provide air support, the Marines are firing their M1 Rifles. One of them mimics the recoil of it but we don't see the bolt move back when he fires his rifle. The M1 Rifle or Garand is semiautomatic, and the bolt moves back each time the shooter pulls the trigger.

The Lost City picture

Revealing mistake: While with Abigail, doors open to reveal a city and a plane behind which rises big jets of air that move Loretta's hair. However, the decorations on the table don't move a single inch (until several shots later), giving away that the city behind is CGI.
