Deliberate mistake: When Chad picks up the cop's gun and fires at Dale and Tucker, the bullets hit the wooden wall. Wood doesn't make ricochet sound. (00:41:45)

Scary Movie 2 (2001)
Deliberate mistake: When Shorty is showing Cindy some moves and they are doing the "Right, left, right, left" move, you can see three people walking right behind them. Then, suddenly, the people are gone without the scene being cut. The director has simply just overlapped the scenes while they are doing the moves. (00:08:40)

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Deliberate mistake: When Violet and Klaus have the anchor on the three cans they use to roll it on, just before they tip it over the edge, it is obvious the anchor isn't a real anchor. It's too light. When they keep pushing it back and forth, it should tip over because of the weight if it was a real anchor. They shouldn't have been able to handle it like that. (01:01:45)

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Deliberate mistake: In the shot where the camera zooms in on the car, after they realise they are standing on a train track, it is obvious that the car would be hit by the train even if they managed to change tracks. The car's hood is parked right above the other track. (00:23:45)

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Deliberate mistake: When Sunny picks up the Scrabble letter, you can hear her biting a piece of it. But when she places it on the board, you can see it hasn't been chewed on. It looks exactly the same as when she picked it up. (00:03:45)

Constantine (2005)
Deliberate mistake: When Constantine comes out of the library after speaking with Gabriel, he stands beside Angela and none of them cast any noticeable shadows on the door and walls behind them. When it cuts to a shot above them, shadows are more being cast behind them. This is probably because of different light settings on the set. (00:23:35)

Constantine (2005)
Deliberate mistake: When Constantine and Angela are driving while talking to Beeman, as Beeman says "But that doesn't mean that we don't have faith in you", the lights in the car suddenly go off. Revealed by the DVD commentary, it is the cinematographer's lights going off by mistake. (00:57:50)

Constantine (2005)
Deliberate mistake: When Constantine and Angel are walking to her car the power shuts down turning off all the lights in the street. Then it cuts to inside her car where you can see the lights inside the car is on. When it cuts to outside the car the lights are off. (00:37:35)

Dirty Pretty Things (2002)
Deliberate mistake: When Okwe pulls the heart out of the blocked toilet, the water doesn't go out of the toilet. (00:07:50)

The Medallion (2003)
Deliberate mistake: When Jackie tries to avoid the Jamaican guy he jumps up to a higher deck. As we see him duck out of sight it takes him about 1 second to get to the other side and jump down there. However it's at least 40 feet to get to the other side. Jackie is usually fast but not that fast. (00:34:30)

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Deliberate mistake: When the police officer is being ran over the tank you see him falling backwards. When it cuts we see his hat being ran over by the tank. However the way the officer was falling there is no way his hat could have landed under the tank's belt as it does in the next shot. (00:01:55)

The Rundown (2003)
Deliberate mistake: When Beck and Travis dive off the road and roll down hill, their stunt doubles are quite noticeable in many of the shots down the hill. (00:26:35)
6th Mar 2005
Gladiator (2000)
Deliberate mistake: When the chariot crashes through the gate we see an explosion coming from both sides of the gate. However there is no reasonable explanation why there would be an explosion, so this was probably done to make the scene look more dramatic. (01:22:55)
1st Feb 2005
The Medallion (2003)
Deliberate mistake: When Giscard jumps over the bikes you can see the bikes are stacked closed to each other. When Jackie 'runs' over them the distance between the bikes has increased. This was probably done to make the 'running' more natural looking. (00:30:25)
1st Feb 2005
The Medallion (2003)
Deliberate mistake: At the pier when Watson parks the car he parks right next to a white van. When it cuts we can see Watson's car has moved a few feet away from the van so that it is possible to open the doors of his car. (00:32:45)
21st Jan 2005
The Medallion (2003)
Deliberate mistake: After the curtain begins to burn, suddenly all the curtains are burning. This would only happen if all the curtains were lit individually. Only one of the curtains caught fire when Snakehead kicked the candleholder. (00:12:15)
19th Jan 2005
The Whole Ten Yards (2004)
Deliberate mistake: When Lazlo is hiding the dollar bill in the painting, look closely and you will see the scene is played backwards. Ashes from his cigarette flies back up and smoke from the cigarette comes down. (00:22:35)
19th Oct 2004
Battle Royale II: Requiem (2003)
Deliberate mistake: When the teacher walks over the floor towards the blackboard, he walks through a lot of blood. However when it cuts, he leaves no traces of blood where he steps.
5th Oct 2004
Bride of Chucky (1998)
Deliberate mistake: When Tiff (as a doll) lights her Zippo you don't see her clicking the flint, even though one can hear a 'clicking' sound. (00:33:35)
27th Sep 2004
The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter (1990)
Deliberate mistake: When Bastian comes running up the stairs by the harbour, you can see a black couple on the right. The woman is wearing a grey coat with a black vest and a white shirt. The man is wearing a black coat, black shoes and white socks. When it cuts to Bastian running across the street, you can see the exact same couple wearing the exact same clothing crossing the street, but this time they are not walking together. The extras were used twice. (00:11:10)
