Audio problem: As Gru attempts the dance floor key, some of the guacamole from his nacho hat falls out of the hat and lands on one of the keys which then triggers one of the sound effects. An axe then chops off the rear end of his nacho hat and lands on the part of the dance floor behind him, but no sound effect is made from the floor. (01:04:05)

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Other mistake: Each time Cage is on the dropship along with all the other soldiers, the dropship is attacked and all the other soldiers release themselves from the plane onto the beach. When Cage lands on the beach, note the area he is standing in. Every time he drops onto the beach, he releases himself earlier or later than the previous time, but despite this, he always seems to land on the beach in the precise same spot each time. The dropship was attacked and began spinning out of control and was not in a fixed position, so there is no chance he would have landed in the same spot even if the dropship was over the same location.
Suggested correction: I don't think you're right, because the dropship doesn't change its rotation or acceleration, Cage just is connected longer or shorter to the ship, depending on the time when he chooses to let him self fall. It would be possible for him to land on almost the exact spot every time he cuts the rope to the ship.
I'm not sure this correction makes sense. If Cage was connected to the ship for a longer or shorter time, then he'd have traveled a longer or shorter distance. Then he'd land in a different place depending on how far he'd traveled. It would be almost impossible for him to land in the same spot each time.

Bug: Day of the Dolphin: In the underground aquarium scene where you have to defeat Snorky, switch to Lisa and use her Hand Of Buddha power to move the jellyfish and place them on the hexagon-shaped grey platforms on the left corner on the screen. If you place one of the jellyfish on the platform and drop the other one, the jellyfish you dropped cannot be picked up a second time. It will just be stuck on the ground.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Avenger
Plot hole: Level Four: Just after you finish defeating The Jumbo Shrimp, SpongeBob is back at Squidward's house telling him the story. Squidward tells SpongeBob that something is wrong with Gary and SpongeBob goes back over to the house to see what is wrong with him. SpongeBob finds out that Gary is hungry and attempts to go to Patrick to see what to get because they are out of pet food. This makes no sense because in level one earlier, SpongeBob opened up a pantry filled with pet food. There's no way they could have been out of food.
