Revealing mistake: When Nancy is running upstairs, and struggling in the goop holes, we see a shot of Freddy smash his arm through the small door window. If you play in slow-motion, you can see a large pre-made crack in the window to make it easier for him to smash, which WASN'T there when Nancy ran through... (00:39:15)
8th Dec 2004
Revealing mistake: When Nancy runs downstairs and cracks the small door window open with the umbrella, you can see the window is precracked to make it easier to smash. (01:18:35)

Revealing mistake: When Jeff walks out the cabin and is shot by police, you can see the squibs bulging underneath his clothing. (01:22:00)
4th Dec 2004
Revealing mistake: When Daphne and the wrestler are fighting on the roof, Daphne slams the door into the wrestler and the wrestler's head smashes through the door window. The wrestler then grabs Daphne's arm, and smashes his arm sideways into the doorframe. If you look closely, you may have to watch a few times, you can clearly see the pre-cut line that makes the doorframe easier for him to smash. (01:09:40)
4th Dec 2004
Revealing mistake: When Fred smashes his arm through the round window of the garage and grabs Shaggy, if you look you can see some kind of clear tape on his arm to protect him from the glass. This is quite noticeable in closeups. (00:47:10)
23rd Nov 2004
Revealing mistake: When Malfoy and his friends are messed with by an invisible Harry, Malfoy is dragged along by Harry. In the SECOND shot, when Malfoy is dragged along (which is a closeup shot of Malfoy's legs up in the air) pay attention to the bottom right corner of the screen, and you can see a bare hand quickly move into view, quite close to the screen. This can't be Malfoy's hand because he has gloves on. Slo-mo is not necessary to see this. (01:00:15)
17th Nov 2004
Revealing mistake: Somebody has already pointed out that the footage of Deeds throwing the cats out of the window is obviously not caught on Pam's camera. In addition, notice that there is no guttering/pole to the left of Mrs. Keeling's flat window - it is on the right. Yet on the TV footage, there is a metal pole to the left of her window. Another point is that Mrs. Keeling's flat is on the corner of a street, yet when we see footage of the cats flying out of the window, her flat isn't at the corner of a street, it's in the centre of a row of flats. (00:48:55 - 00:51:45)
13th Nov 2004
Revealing mistake: When Puffy the dog bites Ted and pulls him along, Ted digs his fingernails into the floor, they scrape along, making marks. If you look very closely you can see faint pre-made marks made in the floor, where he drags his nails along. (01:28:45)
3rd Nov 2004
Revealing mistake: Near the beginning, when the giant fiery comet hits, it goes behind a hill, yet you can still see the glow of the comet through the hill and the shops in front of the hill, revealing it is a backdrop. (00:04:20)
1st Nov 2004
Revealing mistake: After killing her, Carrie drags her mother into the closet, yet you can see her mother is walking. (01:28:35)
31st Oct 2004
Revealing mistake: When Carrie is hurling knives telekinetically, the first knife which hits her mother in the hand, you can see the metal protection plate that the knife actually hits instead. (01:25:55)
29th Oct 2004
Revealing mistake: When Jan and Pam are fighting, you can tell for most of the stunts Winona Ryder isn't doing them, and it's a double. For instance when she runs into Jan, and gets knocked to the floor, and when she gets thrown into a table. This is confirmed on the commentary too. (01:10:50)
26th Oct 2004
Revealing mistake: When the dog catches the cat, which bounces off the trampoline, it is blatantly obvious the dog in fact has a soft toy cat in his mouth. (00:50:05)
25th Oct 2004
Revealing mistake: In the restaurant, Deeds pushes the opera singer into a table - you can tell the opera man falling, is in fact a stunt double. (00:33:35)
24th Oct 2004
Revealing mistake: When Lori decapitates Freddy at the end, it's obvious Freddy is a dummy (slow motion can help but isn't essential). (01:24:35)
23rd Oct 2004
Revealing mistake: When Jack is stabbed through the neck, it is blatantly obvious that the neck is fake. You can clearly see the line between the real and fake neck. (00:41:45)
25th Sep 2004
Revealing mistake: When Shelia is dying, Alice is trying to help her, but she is 'thrown' to the floor. Then there is another shot of Shelia, and you clearly see a pulse in her neck, although she's meant to be dead. (00:44:50)
20th Sep 2004
Revealing mistake: When Alice is being blown towards the cinema screen, she grabs hold of one of the cinema chairs. You can clearly see she is actually holding a handle which is on top of the chair. This is blatantly visible when she lets go of it and flies off. (01:01:35)
19th Sep 2004
Revealing mistake: When Kincaid tears a pipe out of the ground to beat Freddy with, as he yanks it out you can see tape hanging off the pipe it was next to, showing they are fake. (01:19:30)
10th Sep 2004
Revealing mistake: When Andy first goes down into the cellar with the electric knife, the camera pans around the cellar, then back to Andy. When Andy starts to walk away from the foot of the stairs, you can see a cameraman's shadow on his back. (00:41:35)
