Revealing mistake: In the opening scene, the little girl pulls the cake over to her with only a few fingers which is near impossible. When the camera angle shifts and she lets go of the cake, it still wiggles as if she's pulling on it, showing that it's being controlled from the other side, most likely by an off-camera crew member.

Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief (2008)
Continuity mistake: When Maya gets in the car to go to the White House, she's in a blue outfit, but is in a brown skirt and pink jacket when she gets there. Despite the fact she could've changed in the jet, she wouldn't have known she was going to be on a private jet, and so would've been wearing what she intended to wear. (00:13:00)

U.S. Marshals (1998)
Audio problem: In the scene when the plane slides down the hill into the water you hear the classic Hollywood sound used for jumbo jet engines dying out by hitting water. The problem lies in the fact that that engine would have been off by then, either by impact, or by the planes automated systems. Even if it was somehow still running you don't hear it until it dies.

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
Factual error: The nickel from the phone booth is fake. Unless it was a special minted edition. It doesn't look like any nickel I've ever seen from that era. It is also reflectively discolored compared to the proper coin to its left. It actually looks more like an '01 coin. (00:31:20)

The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning (2007)
Other mistake: In the sequence where Bo is taking his driving test, the driving instructor is shown fumbling to put on his seatbelt three times, all of which are from the same piece of film. (00:00:45 - 00:02:45)

Mercenary for Justice (2006)
Deliberate mistake: When the armored car hit's the police car the police car flies up in an explosion. Due to the size, style, and weight of the armored car, the police car should've been run over and crushed. (01:02:05)

May (2002)
Deliberate mistake: There is blood all over the back of the couch that's supposed to be from the neck cutting, however there is not a trace of blood on May's dress or anywhere else but her hands. (01:13:30)
