Other mistake: When one of the bikers escaping from the cops cries "We made it!", 15 men appear from each side. Plus, there's a dozen or so police cars in front, as it is later revealed. Although this adds up for more action and suspense, it is absurd to believe neither he nor any of Elliot and Mike's friends saw none of them.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Other mistake: When ET walks to the fridge, there's a shot of Elliott's classroom with the camera moving towards him. Watch the chubby kid on the right, who can't help staring at the camera for a brief second. (00:44:15)
20th Apr 2012
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Other mistake: After the storm, Grimsby helps Eric walk away from the beach while Ariel sings. Every time the shot back goes to those two they are on the same spot, though their legs move as if walking, giving the sense that they're on a treadmill.

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Other mistake: When Grimsby talks about the statue, the sailor behind Eric remains still, no animation at all.
22nd Feb 2012
Commando (1985)
Other mistake: Matrix enters his house through a door on the penthouse and a dead soldier by the edge collapses. His feet and legs should be blocking the door and the entrance, but instead, from the angle inside, it swings freely. (00:13:20)

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Other mistake: The subway carriage stops by the Statue of Liberty ad, however, the one reflected on the cabin's glass is a VW ad.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Other mistake: When Superman flies next to the subway carriage and Lois spots him and smiles, he is flying in the opposite direction.
23rd Aug 2011
Knight Rider (1982)
Other mistake: 99% of the shots when Michael presses the 'Turbo Boost' button, it's the same shot repeated over and over.
29th Jul 2011
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Other mistake: When John and Terminator arrive at Pescadero, John's hair is immaculate, perfectly brushed, not realistic for someone who's just arrived on a motorbike.
9th Jul 2011
Superman III (1983)
Other mistake: The movies show that Superman can talk and live in space as normally as on earth, with no extra effort needed. Therefore, the scene of Superman choking and suffering inside a shield/ bubble with no air is totally senseless. The Krypotnite laser which does choke him appears after he has destroyed the bubble.
7th Jul 2011
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
Other mistake: In the cave, Angélica steps out of the water and in the close-up of her face her hair is dry, and even drier in the following close-up.
16th Jun 2011
Ghostbusters (1984)
Other mistake: After the guys decide to rent the building, the shot of New York from the park is the very same one, though with different sky colour, to that of the moment when they are about to battle Gozer. Though it's a very wide and common shot of the park, the very same people are laying on the grass in the very same position in both shots (big screen recommended to spot it). (00:16:45 - 01:18:35)
19th May 2011
Midnight in Paris (2011)
Other mistake: When Gil is walking by the banks of the river, watch the left side of the bridge ahead and you'll see a crowd watching the filming.
7th Mar 2011
Gossip Girl (2007)
Other mistake: During the concert, the drummer's hands don't follow the music playing.
23rd Jan 2011
The Fugitive (1993)
Other mistake: When Kimble is heading towards the dam driving the ambulance in the tunnel, his lane is empty in the wide angles, yet in the close-ups he is swerving the steering wheel violently as if there were cars ahead. This keeps changing back and forth.
9th Dec 2010
Superman Returns (2006)
Other mistake: After Superman lands the plane he flies towards the door but casts no shadow, either on the ground or on the plane.
26th Nov 2010
Superman III (1983)
Other mistake: While on the skiing slope, Gus catches speed and skis away. The problem is he is always on the flat side of the slope, it's impossible to gain speed.
21st Nov 2010
War of the Worlds (2005)
Other mistake: During the ferry scene, after Ray watches above at the aliens, there's an aerial view of the harbour and afterwards a shot of a crowd staring at the sky. Watch for a man on the right with a red hat taking a quick peek at the camera in front.
11th Nov 2010
Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
Other mistake: Taylor parks his car in Cuesta Verde, next to a couple of crates next to the pilot's door. He steps down and walks straight without looking down, which is impossible for he should have tripped.
6th Nov 2010
Poltergeist (1982)
Other mistake: The night after burying the bird, a lightning strike projects an image of the tree outside onto the bedroom wall. However, the silhouette has nothing to do with the tree's shape.
