Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002)
Revealing mistake: The shark attacks the parasailing boat and makes the driver hit his head against a rail and fall unconscious. First of all, the bang of his head is not heard. Second, his hit and further fall are one of the worst stunts in movie history.

Mamma Mia! (2008)
Revealing mistake: During the "Lay Your Love" song, when Sophie and her boyfriend are in one of the corners of the beach, sneaker footprints are seen. Given that the tide is constantly wiping off their bare footprints, the tracks most surely belong to a crew member. (00:44:20)

Honey I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
Revealing mistake: While Nick and his father are driving home with the giant baby behind (an obvious green screen projection), the baby breaks a tube from the car and throws it to the floor. Nick bends down to pick up a prop located offscreen, to add up for realism, but the problem is that he bends down before the baby throws it, so the whole trick is revealed.
