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].

Scream picture

Revealing mistake: When Ritchie tackles Sam down the stairs, you can get a pretty clear look at both the stunt-man and stunt-woman's faces as they fall. They then switch back to the actual actors once they reach the bottom of the stairs.

Revealing mistake: Becky calls Dan on her iPhone, as she puts it to her ear you can still see the contact info while Dan's voicemail is playing and not the actual call duration screen. (00:05:21)

Hot Seat picture

Revealing mistake: An exterior view of the damaged building was shown after Orlando's chair bomb blew through the 10th floor windows. The damage from the earlier explosion on the 4th floor could be seen in the lower left-hand corner. However, there were only two floors between the damaged floors [putting Orlando on the 7th floor] when there should have been five. IF the 4th floor was actually the 4th floor, there were not enough floors above it for the bank to be on the 12th floor. (01:20:44)

The Menu picture

Revealing mistake: The very first shot of the movie, supposedly of Anya Taylor-Joy lighting a cigarette, does not match the following shot on the pier; the cigarette appears to be black and with a brand sleeve instead of the normal one she is smoking. The background confusingly looks more like an interior than the pier she is standing on, and the lighter is a common Bic-style one instead of the Zippo she is using also later in the movie. That's because it's actually stock footage. You can literally find the clip yourself on Shutterstock and similar websites, by the description "Close-up of the silhouette of a woman's face sticking a cigarette into her lips, igniting her with a lighter, and exhaling smoke. The grim concept of the harm of smoking in a low key." (00:01:00)

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)

Sin Eater picture

Revealing mistake: Christine closed her dead brother's eyes without actually touching them. Christine had an open hand (no cupped palm) with her fingers straight out and together; her pinkie finger touched her brother's nose, meaning her other fingers would have been too far away from his eyes and unable to make contact. (01:11:03)

Gone in the Night picture

Revealing mistake: Max rolled down the front passenger side window and no wind came into the car, but when he had his face barely out the window, his hat blew off (not shown on screen). If wind hit the visor part of his "bugout" hat, the hat would have most likely blown off into the car. (00:03:40)

Obsessions picture

Revealing mistake: When Danny follows Maria outside, he is in front of a well-lighted wide patio door with side windows and there are numerous decorative lights to his right. Thereafter, close-up views of him talking show only some small red lights to his right; the rest of the screen is black. Wide views continue showing the lit entryway behind him. (00:08:44)

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)

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)

On the Line picture

Revealing mistake: Obvious use of a "green screen" when Elvis and Dylan are sitting on the steps in the stairwell. The five distinct steps that could be seen behind them become a gray wall and the blue handrail posts to the right of the screen become oddly grouped, appearing to be parallel to the right side of Elvis' shoulder/back. (01:09:00 - 01:09:25)

Dark Glasses picture

Revealing mistake: After the accident, some bystanders rush to the car hit by Diana's. A woman leans against the car window spotting a child inside; you can see on the window very conspicuous handprints in that spot from previous takes. (00:17:10)

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)

Pursuit picture

Revealing mistake: When William and Jack open the door, enter the room, and walk past the helium-filled balloons (tied to a chair about 4' away), the balloons remain immobile. Due to how light helium balloons are, just opening the door or breathing nearby would be enough to cause the balloons to move somewhat - if they were actually there. (00:16:00)

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)

Revealing mistake: The size of the spider walking off Sam's face becomes disproportionately smaller too fast compared to its size while on her cheek plus the spider's awkward movements are indicative of CGI. (00:02:20)

Revealing mistake: When Travis arose from the couch, "Little Man" - sleeping right next to him - did not move at all or even open his eyes, which would be extremely unlikely for a "real" dog; the dog, though appearing to be "breathing", was fake. (01:17:30)
