Deliberate mistake: In the housing block that Dave's house is in, the house numbers do not match - because In one shot of Claire walking past Dave's house, you can see that the house numbers are in the 1500's - one homes number is clearly 1516. However Dave's house number is 1958. However this is a deliberate mistake as the 1958 on Dave's house is a reference to when the Chipmunk fever was born. (00:23:50 - 00:32:35)

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
Deliberate mistake: Obviously due to the family nature of the film, but when Peter stabs the White Witch's henchmen at battle, the sword always remains clean, and never bloody. (This is a Disney family film and as such no blood is shown. Still a mistake, but there's the reason). (01:56:10)

Now and Then (1995)
Deliberate mistake: The lake that the girls splash about in is very shallow, as they easily stand and play in it. Roberta does a head-first dive from a high tree, into it. There's no chance she wouldn't have hurt herself. (00:32:35)

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Deliberate mistake: When Gaston is in Belle's house and he puts his muddy boots on Belle's book, when she picks it up and it cuts, a white cloth magically appears in her hand to wipe off the mud. (00:17:40)

Child's Play (1988)
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Mike is in the car and Chucky attacks him, pulling the skipping ropes around his neck and stabbing a knife through the carseat etc., in all the wideshots of the car driving, the stunt driver wearing what looks like a black woolly hat replacing Mike is blatant. (00:54:15 - 00:55:45)

The Jungle Book (1967)
Deliberate mistake: After Baloo and Bagheera escape from the monkeys, they both have a black eye. However, during their conversation by the water, between shots their black eyes vanish. [This is a Disney tradition, but still a mistake.]

Valentine (2001)
Deliberate mistake: Paige's stunt double being thrown into the hot tub is obvious. (01:14:25)

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
Deliberate mistake: When Big Gay Al sings his song, he sits at the edge of the stage. In a wideshot the soldiers are just watching, yet in a closeup they're all waving lighters. (00:59:25)

Scary Movie 2 (2001)
Deliberate mistake: When spoofing Charlie's Angels, the chain that Cindy grabs a hold of as she jumps over the gate wasn't there when Hanson jumped through the gate. It seemed to just appear. This also happens with the baseball bat Hanson uses. It isn't there, until he needs to use it to hit Cindy. (01:03:55 - 01:05:00)
