Corrected entry: After Ted hits the fisherman with the stone and the fisherman gives chase, we see Ted running down the beach towards the camera. There is somebody else to the back left of the shot also running along the beach. It can't be the fisherman because this person is dressed differently and eventually runs out of shot entirely.

Quantum of Solace (2008)
Corrected entry: In the opening car chase, the Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo go round a pack of cars stuck in traffic. When the policeman uses his radio, you can see a blue Vauxhall Corsa in the background. You can see the badge on it and it is actually a Vauxhall Corsa with Italian number-plates, which is incorrect as Vauxhall cars are branded as Opel in continental Europe.
Correction: There are a lot of "Vauxhall" branded Corsa in continental Europe, even for right-hand driving. So they exist, even if hard to find.

Let Him Have It (1991)
Corrected entry: After Bentley's execution, the camera zooms in on the Bentley family home from a bird's-eye perspective. The film is set in 1953, but there are cars parked in the courtyards behind the houses that date from the 1980s.
Correction: Copied from IMDb.

Life on Mars (2006)
Corrected entry: When Sam Tyler first gets out of his Jeep Cherokee, you can see a blue car coming towards him. By the time the camera cuts back to a birds-eye view, the blue car is gone. We don't see it pass, and there is not enough time elapsed for it to have passed.
Correction: This blue car is the very car that runs Sam over just a few seconds into the next shot, back at ground level, looking at Sam through his own vehicle's interior. That is why we don't see it pass.

Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)
How to Recognise Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away - S1-E3
Corrected entry: After Bicycle Repair Man gets on the bus, it drives off. In the next shot, it drives round a corner past some houses and parked cars. To the left of the bus, a little boy can be seen on the street (just walking past a car), and behind the bus, a man can be seen walking in the background. Neither of these people are wearing Superman outfits, like all the other characters in the episode are.
Correction: Later in the sketch it is revealed that "stockbrokers, accountants and church wardens" are all regular sights in J W Superman's world. Obviously there are some non-Superman people about, and you saw two of them. Not a mistake.

Fawlty Towers (1975)
Gourmet Night (a.k.a. Gourmet's Paradise) - S1-E5
Corrected entry: At the start of the episode, when Basil reaches into the car bonnet and the horn starts blaring, it's almost a full second before he jumps in fright.
Correction: Not true, I've just watched this and his reaction time is perfectly natural. It's certainly not one second.

South Park (1997)
The Death Camp of Tolerance - S6-E14
Corrected entry: When the Catfish says "Great job, Lemmiwinks." after Lemmiwinks escapes Mr Slave, his voice sounds totally different than it did when he met Lemmiwinks inside the stomach.
Correction: No not really. His voice just sounds a little different in the stomach because a bit of reverb was added to his voice. (To simulate that he is speaking in a great hall or in this case a stomach.)

Life on Mars (2006)
Corrected entry: After Sam wakes up on the building site, the Police Constable replies sarcastically, "You were driving a military vehicle", when Sam claims the car isn't his, and that he was driving a jeep. This isn't strictly true - the Range Rover went into production in 1970, and the Land Rover Defender into production during the 1940's, so it's not implausible that Sam Tyler could have owned/been driving a "jeep".
Correction: Nobody in the UK would ever refer to a Land Rover or Range Rover as a jeep. Even these days Jeeps are not common in the UK; in the timeframe of the series privately owned Jeeps would be practically unheard of and nearly everybody would still associate Jeeps with the military. What the policeman says is hardly unreasonable.
