The Butterfly Effect (2004)

Revealing mistake: In the first scene of the film, Evan is writing frantically in a journal and his last words that the camera zooms in on are "Save her". Look closely and you can see that those same words are already indented on the page as indicated by a visible letter "s" and "h" and a period that had already been written on the pad of paper. Obviously they had done some other takes. (00:01:35)

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
Revealing mistake: There is a scene where Natalie Cook is on her surfboard riding the curl of a wave. It appears to be her head superimposed over someone else's body. The coloring and movement don't quite line up. (00:24:10)

What Lies Beneath (2000)
Revealing mistake: In an early shot shown from the neighbor's house, it is established that the Spencers' house is quite a ways uphill. Some of the later shots where Claire is spying on her neighbors and looking at their home, the angle of view does not appear to be correct. The neighbors' house looks like it's a lot closer and more level with the Spencers' home.
