Superman II (1980)

Deliberate mistake: When the villains rampage the White House, the flag's base remains on the ceiling, and the flag pole falls inside the house.

Plot hole: Nuclear Man flies through the floor and ceilings of the Metropolis tower without touching anything or anyone; but an outside shot shows the facade exploding for some reason.

Continuity mistake: After smashing his head, Superman sends Nuclear Man flying away. At first, Nuclear Man is conscious and with his head pointing upwards. A frame later he is unconscious and the head is laying down.
