Revealing mistake: When Donovan finds Diana's abandoned car in the desert, the outside shots of the chopper reveal that it is not Marc Singer at the controls. (00:36:40)

Futurama (1999)
Revealing mistake: When someone suggests crying as a way to get the emperor out of Fry's body, he says 'that's a great idea', the emperor's face stays still on Fry's stomach, instead of moving in sync with Fry's body. (00:15:50)
15th Aug 2006
Futurama (1999)
Revealing mistake: When Fry starts his speech with "I, Fry", the podium is casting a shadow underneath him, but he isn't. (00:13:50)
13th Aug 2006
Mr. Destiny (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Larry is camping in the tree outside Ellen's house, if you look at his face before he falls it is a stuntman falling, not James Belushi. (01:03:35)

Doctor Who (1963)
Genesis of the Daleks - S12-E4
Revealing mistake: During the Doctor's early conversation with the Time Lord, there is fog swirling around them. When the Doctor agrees to take on the mission, it suddenly appears very concentrated around the tip of the rocks behind them, as if generated from a source behind the rocks. Normal fog would not do this, and it's clear that dry ice was used as the fog effect (DVD commentary confirms this). (00:02:45)

Doctor Who (1963)
Genesis of the Daleks - S12-E4
Revealing mistake: In episode 6, when the Thals detonate the charges, smoke is seen coming through the door before the detonator is pressed down. (00:19:40)
29th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Genesis of the Daleks - S12-E4
Revealing mistake: Whenever there's a close-up of Davros, it's very easy to see that there's a gap around his mouth where the mask should blend in with the actor's face, but doesn't. This mistake was rectified, incidentally, in Davros' next appearance in "Destiny of the Daleks."
29th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Genesis of the Daleks - S12-E4
Revealing mistake: When Ronson is killed by The Daleks, you can see Ronson reacting a little too soon to the Dalek laser. (00:14:40)
25th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Revealing mistake: In episode 6, when the Brigade Leader shoots the Primord Stahlmann, he falls down but no bullet holes are made in his costume. Thanks to Producer Barry Letts for spotting this one on the DVD commentary. (00:17:00)
25th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Revealing mistake: In episode 5, when the Doctor kills the Primord with the fire extinguisher, he says 'he's dead this time' but the Primord is breathing. (00:07:10)
25th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Revealing mistake: In episode 6, during the generally poor fight sequence between the Brigade Leader and Greg Sutton, Greg's first punch to the face misses the Brigade Leader by miles. (00:19:10)
21st Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Revealing mistake: In episode 3, when the Doctor is squaring off against the drooling madman, the madman is inside the perimeter railings. When the soldiers shoot him and he 'falls', however, he has moved outside the railings, enabling the stuntman to jump safely. (00:10:40)
20th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Destiny of the Daleks - S17-E1
Revealing mistake: In episode one, when the Doctor and his companion hear rumbling and the ground moves beneath their feet, when they step away you can see that they are standing on different ground than before, and it's not shaking. (00:08:00)
16th Jul 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Destiny of the Daleks - S17-E1
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor and his companion are running past explosions in the sand, you can see the scrape marks from where the effects team covered up the holes containing the charges. (00:13:00)
13th Jul 2006
A Shock to the System (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Graham and Stella are in bed, the camera shows only their arms intertwined as if he's lying on top of her. She's gasping loudly in response to his thrusting, but their arms never move back and forth to reflect this, so it's clear they're not really having sex.
13th Jul 2006
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Revealing mistake: When the T-850 drives the truck into the building, from the side view the truck misses the silver car completely. Yet in the next shot it appears to hit it, and the car lurches (somewhat unrealistically as if pulled by a cable) to the left and explodes. (00:24:00)
12th Jul 2006
Gods and Generals (2003)
Revealing mistake: When Lee, Longstreet and Jackson are riding through the streets of Fredricksburg, just after the old man has spoken to them, the damaged houses in the background are obviously from a painting. Easiest way to tell is that the street is full of people, up until a certain point. (00:28:25)
9th Jul 2006
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Revealing mistake: Obvious stunt double for John Connor when he takes a wide berth from the street into the aqueduct. His hair, for example, is no longer across his forehead. (00:34:45)
9th Jul 2006
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Revealing mistake: When the T-800 is being attacked by the SWAT team in the Cyberdyne building, notice that in most of the shots (i.e. when he is being shot in the face, and also when the camera is behind him) Arnie has been replaced by a dummy (his skin is unnaturally pale). When the T-800 pulls out his gun and starts shooting the SWAT team, it's now back to the real Arnie, and notice how none of their bullets are now hitting his face and body, even though shots are still being fired. (02:00:20)
9th Jul 2006
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Revealing mistake: Special Edition. The biggest giveaway about the false mirror in the 'chip removal' scene is that John's 'reflection' has his back to the mirror when Sarah is drilling, whereas the real John is standing side-on to it. Also notice that John nervously looks at the camera in this shot. (01:11:50)
