Continuity mistake: When they make their pit stop at the BBQ diner Bill is outside with Dusty and says, "we're going green". The sky is dark and green. When Jo comes out and they're ready to go a few minutes later, the sky is almost sunny and it's suddenly partly cloudy. (00:25:10)

Twister (1996)

Revealing mistake: When Bill and Jo are driving towards the first tornado together (arguing), it's clear there's no windshield in the red truck. There's no rear view mirror and it's perfectly clear. During the next few scenes, a rear view mirror appears and there is mud on the windshield around the wiper tracks.

Meet the Fockers (2004)

Revealing mistake: When little Jack is lying down in his crib in the Byrnes' room, after Jack comes in to rest from the football game, you can easily tell this isn't a real child but just a doll. The hair is wrong and there's no movement, like breathing. (00:55:05)

Ben's Mom

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when red wine is thrown on to Cindy's suede outfit, the pattern and intensity of the stain changes from when it's first thrown on her, to the bathroom, and then again when she's showing the man in the clothing store.

Continuity mistake: When Ronald is talking to Kenneth in Science class the first morning he and Cindy are acting as a couple, Ronald's position changes. In one scene his back is completely to the table and the next he's leaning on his right side facing Kenneth.

Dirty Dancing (1987)

Continuity mistake: When Max is talking with Tito at the end during the final show they're both talking and standing next to the record player. In the next scene they're both standing way off stage (no longer next to the record player) and then Max enters on stage and Tito walks up behind him. (01:27:25 - 01:28:25)

Ben's Mom

Continuity mistake: After the cupcakes explode out of the oven you see the purple goo splash the dog all of its face and left side. However, the next time you see the dog there's hardly any purple goo on him, just a little bit on its face.

Ben's Mom

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when Novalee and Willy Jack are leaving to go to California, Novalee asks Willy Jack to take a picture of her friends. When he takes the picture, she's almost entirely facing him. However, when the picture is on the visor on Novalee's side of the car, her back is completely turned away from him and all you see is her back and the back of her head. (00:01:40 - 00:03:05)

Ben's Mom

Continuity mistake: When Valmont visits Madame de Tourvel and enters her room, there's a servant standing next to Valmont who appears to leave and you hear the door close. In the next scene he is still standing there with the door closed and then takes Valmont's hat, opens the door, and leaves.

Audio problem: When Courtney and Christina are in the club bathroom (right after the shot of the girl with the vomit on her face puking on her friend) the camera pans over to them both. In the mirror you see both of them talking but their lips are not moving to the sound you hear.
