Revealing mistake: Whenever there is a shot of the outside of the barracks, where it can be seen that it is outside on the studio lot, look at the "snow" on the roofs. Most of the time, it appears to be just paint in the shape of snowdrifts.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
Continuity mistake: The professor is put under a trance, referred to as "zombiefied." When it first happens, the professor is looking to his left. Later on, he's looking straight ahead.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
The Producer - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Harold Hecuba (a.k.a. H.H.) goes out to change costumes. When he comes in as Ophelia the stage door first closes behind him, then falls off the hinges. The shot cuts to the Castaways, then back to H.H., and the door is back on the hinges.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Continuity mistake: When Hogan and Klink are getting ready to take off, they are on a regular paved runway. In the wide shot of the plane, it's going down and taking off from a dirt runway.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: When Carter goes to switch the full cup for the empty one, he accidentally sloshes water on Newkirk's hand and the fan of cards in it. When Carter goes to move the cups, look at Newkirk's hand. The cup exchange happens in front of the hand. The hand is out of range of the water.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Audio problem: When Hogan is taking pictures of Shultz in front of the halt-track (really, getting shots of the control panel), in the second photo, the shot is shown as if it's Hogan looking through the camera. He starts on Shultz's face, but pans down and to the right to get the control panel. Just as the view gets on the panel, you hear the shutter click, just before the camera fully settles on the panel.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Revealing mistake: When the guys are by the half-track keeping Shultz busy, if you look just above and to the left of Shultz's head, you see some tall fencing at the top of the hill in the distance. From the set up, if appears to be a baseball field outside of the studio property.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Revealing mistake: When the men are in the yard during their exercise period playing football, there is a wide shot of the yard. The half-track is to the left of the screen with Shultz next to it. If you look above the barracks, the Desilu water tower and a large metal building, possibly a studio building, can be seen.

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Other mistake: In order to use the vials that have either the T-virus or the anti-virus it has to be loaded into a special gun-like tool, similar to a caulking gun. A plunger is then set, and released with a trigger, again, like a caulking gun. The problem is that when the vials are seen, the caps on either end are solid, with no hint of an opening for the fluid to get out and into the body that it is being administered to.

Batman (1966)
Revealing mistake: When Robin is trying to get the sub to surface using Bat Depth Charges, the sub is rocking violently. The rack that contains the vials with the Security Council's dust not only sways back and forth, but lies nearly flat several times, and always at impossible angles. This goes against physics, and gravity. The rack should have fallen off the table more than a few times.

Batman (1966)
Revealing mistake: Whenever you see the underwater shots of the sub, and the torpedoes, you can see the sides of the pool where the filming was done.

Batman (1966)
Other mistake: When searching the buoy for clues, Batman goes to take out an obvious screw that was supposed to hold on the panel hiding the projector. The screw is located in the top of a seam where two panels were riveted. After removal, the panel is removed and you can see the seam again that would have been hidden by the panel, as it was tall enough to fit the side from the walkway to the top. Also, the lenses on the projector were obviously fake. Any projector with lenses that badly chipped and faded would have been repaired or replaced. In addition, Batman is supposedly loosening the screw, but was turning the screw to the right, which would be tightening it.

Batman (1966)
Continuity mistake: As the Dynamic Duo near the buoy, Robin is seen for a moment wearing headphones, when the rest of the time in the Batboat, he's not wearing them.

Batman (1966)
Revealing mistake: When the Batboat is approaching the buoy, you can see that the sky is painted background. You can see the ripples in the wall matte rial.

Batman (1966)
Continuity mistake: When the Batboat first takes off, the flashing red emergency light is on. In the close-ups, it is off.

Batman (1966)
Continuity mistake: At the airport, the Batcopter is ready to fly. As it ascends, look at the front of the bottom side. The only thing there is a standard search light. Later, when over the yacht, Batman drops the Bat-ladder, which appears to be attached to the bottom front next to the light, but wasn't there on take-off. The class of chopper used didn't have room for a hidden compartment.

Batman (1966)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, after Batman and Robin are in the Batcopter, in a close-up shot, you see Robin with the Bat-camera next to him, when there wasn't anything in the cockpit with them when they took off. After he raises it to get a reading and take pictures, a wide angle shot shows them in the chopper with no camera, and then another close-up, and the camera's back.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
A Klink, a Bomb and a Short Fuse - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When Burkhalter is standing with Klink after he first arrives, Burkhalter's arms are by his side. When the camera cuts to a close-up, Burkhalter's arms are crossed behind his back, much too quickly than is possible.
21st Oct 2013
Resident Evil (2002)
Factual error: When Alice has the pistol she got from the zombie she took out, she uses it to do away with the zombie dogs. As she fires the last of the rounds, the camera looks down to follow the fall of the casing. As it falls, it's on a slight tilt, about 5°. Physics says that it will bounce and tumble on the floor after it hits, then come to rest. Instead, when it hits, it immediately goes to a rest position with little movement. (00:48:20)

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Neo is talking to the Oracle, in the close up shots of her, her temple is resting on her fist. On the shot behind, her fist is on her cheek.
