The Thing (1982)

Continuity mistake: When the helicopter is circling the research station, the co-pilot picks up a hand grenade to throw on the ground. He picks up the grenade on the bottom row in the middle column. There is no grenade in the middle column from the second row of grenades and no grenade in the left hand column of the top row of grenades. Around 45 seconds later, in the shot after the dog leaps onto one of the researchers, the exact same shot of the man taking the grenade out of the box has been repeated a second time. He takes out the exact same grenade from the exact same row. (00:07:15 - 00:08:05)

The Thing (1982)

Continuity mistake: When MacReady and Doc are examining the abandoned shack, MacReady comes across a portable video unit and MacReady then wipes off the snow and dust off the unit. From the first shot of the unit, we can see part of the unit is wiped so far, we are able to notice the unit itself. The visible part of the unit is located in the middle of the unit at first, but after Doc states the papers are in Norwegian and the shot cuts back to MacReady, it is now the edge of the unit that has the top of the unit visible.

The Thing (1982)

Visible crew/equipment: Bennings tells Nauls to turn down the Superstitious song and Nauls skates over to the radio, but then doesn't turn the radio down at all. The shot then cuts to a shot of the medicine room which then continues as a panning shot and pans into the next room. Just as the camera stops panning and the shot remains still, there are a few stage lights visible reflected in one of the cabinets on the right hand side of shot. Those certainly aren't lights because all of the lights in the room are switched off. (00:15:10)

Suggested correction: You never actually see the second gun being placed into the basket on the wall so it's easy to surmise that the second one was placed to the left of the first.

Looper (2012)

Visible crew/equipment: When Joe is driving in his car with his friends whilst on the drug, he ends up having to make a quick stop to prevent accidentally hitting a kid on the road. When he stops the car and just before the shot pans over to the kid, a stage light is visible reflected on the car. The only other lights in the area are two lights visible in the far background and there is no outdoor light that could have appeared to look like the light reflected on the car, except for the car's lights. However, the lights on the car are facing in front of the car, so the reflection was not that. (00:08:30)
