Revealing mistake: When the Munchkins say goodbye to Dorothy while singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," the lower part of the screen is an absolute mess: footage of Munchkins superimposes with other footage of Munchkins, creating a blurry havoc, plus the matte painted flowers, hut, and people clip through the real actors.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: While Patti and Diane talk next to the spider, in the close-up shot, the web becomes a thick white rope that has nothing to do with what we see in the wide angles.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: When Diane and Patti chat next to the spider, Patti stretches out her arm to move the (blue-screened) spider web away, but she is missing the spot by two metres.
Suggested correction: No, Patti is not meant to be moving the spider web away in that shot; she is simply reaching for the web so she can cut it with the nail file and free the daddy longlegs. Then, the shot changes before we see her touch it. After two shots of Patti off-screen, we then see her cutting the web. Plus, that screenshot does not convey the "problem."

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: When the boys take the laundry basket upstairs, there's a shot from in front, and one can see none of the four family members is inside. The filmmakers didn't even bother to place toy figures inside.

Gladiator II (2024)
Revealing mistake: During the riot at the bleachers, a soldier grabs an arrow from the quiver, places it on the bow, tightens the string, and aims to shoot. The problem is, he's mimicking all the movements. He didn't pick up an arrow in the first place. Seemingly, someone forgot to place the CGI arrow. (02:09:02)
