Question: In the first sequence, there is a trap with Indy's competition's body stuck on it. Although it is sprung by somebody breaking the beam of light (which I find hard to believe, given that it and other traps were done without any kind of more modern technology we're used to, but suspend disbelief for the sake of the movie), how was it reset without human intervention after Forrestal was killed, and prepared for Sapito?

Answer: More than likely, they left Forrestal's body as a warning.
Answer: The character played by Alfred Molina is actually named "Satipo," after a town. "Sapito" would mean "small frog." It's a common typo, but the more you know.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
Factual error: If the Vorgon Destructor Ship was as massive as portrayed, then as Ford and Arthur look up at it, it should have been reflected in Ford's shades. Instead, all that is seen is the demolition equipment and open sky.

Revealing mistake: On the bridge, as Tuvok monitors and reports on the pursuing ship's weapons, you can see what looks like a wristwatch on his right wrist as he works the controls. (00:35:35)

Visible crew/equipment: As Kruger approaches the bar, the shadow of the camera shade plays on the back of the man's head just before you see who Kruger came to see.

Eraser (1996)
Other mistake: After Kruger tosses the parachute, there is a quick close up, and it looks like the chute just got tossed from another plane. Also, half the time, the chute has dust or smoke coming from it, and sometimes not.

Eraser (1996)
Other mistake: After Kruger throws the chair into the engine causing it to explode, the co-pilot starts to hit switches overhead. As he does, the panel shakes, like it is a poorly constructed set. If it were real, the craft would be grounded until the defect was corrected.

Eraser (1996)
Audio problem: As Lee walks into the Cyrez building, the camera pans up to the top of the building, where a helicopter is landing. The problem is that it is an Apache attack chopper that is seen landing, but the sound is of an OH-58, a smaller chopper.

Eraser (1996)
Continuity mistake: As Kruger puts the dead gangsters on the lawn, he pulls out a bag filled with fake blood. A second later, it suddenly changes to two photos of the victims.

Airport '07 - S5-E12
Other mistake: As Quagmire sits at the bar, Hugh Hefner comes and gives him a pep talk. During it, he says John Holmes said Glen Quagmire is the best pilot. Unless he had seen the news or knew him personally, Hefner couldn't have called Quagmire by name.

Audio problem: As Andrew is learning about joke telling from Sir, he asks "How is that funny?" His mouth opens only when he says how, and is closed for the rest of the question.
4th Mar 2016
Family Guy (1999)
Other mistake: When the cut scene goes to Star Trek The Next Generation, all of the rank pips on the crew's collars can be seen on their left side. All Starfleet rank insignia, with the exception of Admirals in this series, is situated on the right side. (00:18:45)

Other mistake: In the transporter room, Data asks the computer what file log is shown. The computer reply is "Transport Log 759", Data confirms "That is the correct log", but the screen reads "Transport Log 721".

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)
Trials and Tribble-ations - S5-E6
Other mistake: The doors of the old Enterprise in this episode open and close much slower than the original series, thereby causing the original sound effect to have to be extended.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)
Trials and Tribble-ations - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: On the old Enterprise bridge, Sisko is shown at a bridge station, and the person next to him, close to Dax's position, is wearing a gold shirt. When Kirk comes onto the bridge, the person next to Dax now has a red shirt, which was the original crewman's shirt in TOS.

Chosen answer: Likely, it wasn't. The Hovitos are still guarding the temple. Presumably, they maintain and reset the traps.

You'd think in that case that they would've removed the body.
I don't know, I'd be more afraid to rob the place with a dead body stuck there than without.

Why? It's a good warning to other would-be thieves.
