Gladiator II
Gladiator II mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Before the big battle between Lucius and Acacius begins, the soldiers arrive at the bleachers, where we see several shots of the people. Check the crowd, and you'll notice it's a flipped shot of the previous people. (01:33:32)

Revealing mistake: During the naval battle, after an underwater shot of a man being eaten by a shark, check the poop deck on the left, and you'll notice a bulky floor with wrinkles around where people fighting and falling bounce on, revealing a tarp hiding a safety mat.

Factual error: After the naval battle, Thraex is waiting for an informant who tips him off about Lucilla and Marcus Acacius's plans. And of course, as a well-educated gentleman of 200 AD, he kills time by reading the newspaper. Wait, what? Needless to say (to anyone but Ridley Scott, probably), ancient Romans wouldn't/couldn't exactly get their news by newspaper, the press having not been invented yet. This one looks so modern in its layout it even has headlines and a proper publication title, "Roma Viridia."
