Supergirl (1984)
Revealing mistake: When Supergirl is writing her letter of recommendation at super speed, it's way too obvious that the scene's been speeded up in several takes because the leaves in the background move fast and in a very weird and unnatural way.

Superman (1978)
Revealing mistake: When Lois is at the heliport, watch the wind flag on the left: when the helicopter arrives, the roaring wind from the vanes makes the flag move up and get stiff. In the close-ups, you keep on hearing the sound but the vanes are off screen. Watch and you'll see the wind flag is down, thus revealing that the engine is off and that the sound we are hearing is fake.

King Kong (2005)
Revealing mistake: The crew is sailing to the island and the rough sea makes the boat move violently. Jack Driscoll stumbles but the things in his cabin don't move at all, or at least don't cause the chaos they should. Obviously the only thing moving is Jack and the camera.
