You Only Live Twice (1967)
Revealing mistake: The volcano erupting is an obvious composite of at least two images: an explosion on a mountain and lava flowing. The cut-out footage of the lava is blatantly evident for one can see the outline of the pasted film, which has a lighter colour than the mountain's.

Star Wars (1977)
Revealing mistake: Before Darth kills Obi-Wan, he rises his saber to prepare to die and his face and hands are perfectly visible. Right before Darth kills him, there's a wide shot where his face is missing and a black object is used to hold the saber, thus revealing the actor was replaced by an empty cloak to achieve the vanishing effect.

The Lost City (2022)
Revealing mistake: While with Abigail, doors open to reveal a city and a plane behind which rises big jets of air that move Loretta's hair. However, the decorations on the table don't move a single inch (until several shots later), giving away that the city behind is CGI.
