Revealing mistake: When Starbuck veers off the shot of his thumb and the flight stick is reversed. The "IM" button is on the left and the red "FIRE" button is on the right, opposite from where they normally are. Sharp eyes can even see the word "TURBO" is reversed before Starbuck's thumb covers it. (00:03:18)

Revealing mistake: Paul Devildis calls the bank to discuss his restructuring plan. During the shots of the two bankers, on the desk is a notebook-sized, plain brown box. It is very distinctive as it is blank except for a single square white label on the front. Later in the episode Paul delivers his restructuring plan with the bomb inside to the bank. It is in this same box.

Scrubs (2001)
Revealing mistake: Watch the line appear on the wall as Kelso cuts through the wall into the "Luxury Suite." The line is being cut with a round, drywall cutting bit such as would be used with a drill or Dremel tool. You can see it spinning as the cut is made. However, when Kelso has pushed down the wall and points the tool at Cox and the Janitor, he is now holding a standard reciprocating saw with a flat blade which would cut very differently than what was shown.
