Deliberate mistake: When the sewer worker is trying to escape the Lizard, the fast lanes in both directions of traffic are visibly clear for several blocks, which is extremely unlikely in downtown New York. (00:01:10)

The Maze Runner (2014)
Deliberate mistake: Despite taking place for at least three years (prior to the arrival of Thomas) in an isolated post-apocalyptic setting, the boys in the Glade have professional looking hairstyles, not the least of which are Minho and Gally, who both have short hairstyles that look evenly cut and professionally maintained.

X-Men (1992)
The Lotus and the Steel - S4-E13
Deliberate mistake: Every native of the Japanese village that Wolverine visits is conveniently fluent in English, and they even speak English to each other when no other people from English-speaking countries are around. (00:04:45 - 00:20:45)

X-Men (1992)
Deliberate mistake: The security footage of Proteus' escape from the Muir Island Research Facility is merely the same earlier scene played over again. (00:06:50)

X-Men (1992)
'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 - S2-E1
Deliberate mistake: When the Friends of Humanity are secretly filming their fight with Beast, Wolverine and Gambit, their cameraman is shown to be filming from the street behind a post box. However, the footage that they submitted to the news is merely the same camera angles shown from the viewer's perspective of the show. (00:11:45 - 00:13:20)

The Devil's Rejects (2005)
Deliberate mistake: Otis was portrayed as an albino in "House of 1000 Corpses" but in this film he has normal skin pigment.

Wayne's World (1992)
Deliberate mistake: When Wayne begins playing the "Excalibur" guitar, the clerk stops him and directs him to a "No Stairway to Heaven" sign. The problem is that the guitar riff Wayne started playing sounded nothing like "Stairway to Heaven" so the clerk had no reason to interrupt him. Evidently the intro to "Stairway" was actually played in the theatrical version of the film, but its exclusion in the home video release makes the scene rather dubious.
14th Jun 2013
X-Men (1992)
Deliberate mistake: There's at least two episodes (Season 1's "Captive Hearts" and Season 4's "Sanctuary, Part 1") in which a character shows video footage of the X-Men and various supporting characters in action, but the footage is merely clips from previous episodes.

Seinfeld (1990)
Deliberate mistake: Jerry's apartment is on the fifth floor of his building, yet any time he buzzes somebody in from outside the building, they enter his apartment in a matter of seconds.

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
Deliberate mistake: The film is presented in a high definition raw footage format, which was not available for handheld cameras in 1988.
13th Oct 2011
Spawn (1997)
Deliberate mistake: The legion of hellspawns during the film's climax are merely copied and pasted throughout the screen, as evidenced by the fact that many of them perform the exact same distinguishable body movements, such as pacing right and left from a crouched position.
