Revealing mistake: When Lucy plays her violin in Lex's mansion, it's obvious the actress isn't actually playing - her fingers aren't moving and the box is out of time with the music.

Once More, With Feeling - S6-E7
Revealing mistake: During the song-and-dance number "They Got The Mustard Out", if you look closely at the dancers, the man in green to camera right of the second row is horribly out of step with the music, and with the rest of the group. The spell makes everyone dance far better than they naturally would (Tara loses the clumsiness she often displays, for example), so it is a mistake to have someone under the spell dancing so badly.

Charmed (1998)
Power Outage - S3-E7
Revealing mistake: When Astral Prue kicks Leo/Balthazar in the face during the training drill near the start of the episode, her foot misses his face yet he still reacts as if hit.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
School Hard - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: When Spike is talking to the Anointed One for the first time, one of the henchmen tries to rush him from behind and Spike backhands him without even looking, but Spike's hand movements, the reaction of the henchman and the sound of the punch connecting on the audio track are all out of sync.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Revealing mistake: After Faith brings Angelus back, when she goes to punch him and he blocks, the stuntman switch is very obvious - he's noticeably taller, has different hair and doesn't even seem to be wearing any vampire make-up.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Revealing mistake: In the teaser of "Beauty And The Beasts", when Jeff is running through the woods, you can see in the top left corner of several shots a lamp being used to light the scene.
13th Feb 2004
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Revealing mistake: When the Creeper is chasing Izzy, Rhonda and Double D in the truck at the end, during the overhead shot of Izzy pulling off the road you can see the tire tracks from previous takes. (01:22:50)

Scrubs (2001)

My Journey - S3-E2
Revealing mistake: When Elliot is splashed by the dolphin, if you watch carefully you can see her hair is already wet.
5th Jan 2004
Dawson's Creek (1998)
Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road - S6-E21
Revealing mistake: Watch Busy Phillips' hand in the bar scene where Audrey sings - she's very obviously not playing that guitar.

Charmed (1998)
The Importance of Being Phoebe - S5-E11
Revealing mistake: When Kaya throws the knife at Phoebe watch in freeze-frame and you can see that for the shot from behind her there's no knife in her hands. (00:36:10)
14th Sep 2003
American Pie (1999)
Revealing mistake: When Kevin is sitting outside the prom alone throwing pennies into a cup, there's the sound of them hitting the bottom, but if you look closely you can see nothing goes into the cup. (01:11:30)
7th Sep 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Revealing mistake: When the porter is dragged back onto the train at the start you can see (more obviously if you watch in slow motion) that there's absolutely nothing grabbing him, not even someone's shadow. (00:04:55)
31st Aug 2003
The Elite (1989)
Revealing mistake: During the scene where the remote guns are firing from the back of the car you can see one of the 'dead' soldiers sitting up to look at the action around him before lying back down.

Revelations - S3-E7
Revealing mistake: In 'Revelations' when Buffy and Faith are fighting, the kick Faith aims at Buffy's face right after she says 'We can work this out' very noticeably misses, but Buffy still reacts as though it landed. (00:36:15)
4th Jul 2003
Angel (1999)
Ground State - S4-E2
Revealing mistake: In 'Ground State' when Gwen is walking towards the lift in Irwin's building you can see Angel's reflection on the shiny door. Vampires don't have reflections, as is demonstrated at various other times in this show.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)

I Only Have Eyes For You - S2-E19
Revealing mistake: After Buffy has entered the wasp-filled school there's a shot of the others standing outside waiting for her. In the establishing long shot if you look closely you can see they used the same shot as earlier in the episode - Buffy is standing there with them. (00:34:10)
19th Jun 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Revealing mistake: During Faith's fight outside the Bronze in 'Faith, Hope And Trick' when she stakes the vampire, if you watch carefully, you can see the rubber stake bending. (00:15:20)
14th Jun 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Revealing mistake: In the last episode, 'Chosen', Anya beheads two Ubervamps. The second time she swings the sword it very noticably doesn't go anywhere near the Ubervamp's neck, closer to its stomach.
