Stepmom (1998)

Revealing mistake: The scene where Jackie takes Anna for a night ride in the snow is special for several reasons: Even though it's the first snow of the year and no earlier scene made the impression that it is particularly cold, they come by a lake that's half covered with ice. Both don't wear gloves (horse riders usually wear gloves even in summer!), and, in spite of the cold night, their breath doesn't make any clouds. (01:20:35)

Dogville (2003)

Revealing mistake: After the assembly where Grace speaks to the Dogville people she walks home chained to her wheel. However, the wheel that's supposed to be so heavy that she can hardly move around gets pulled along with the chain hanging through a little. (02:05:10)

Dogville (2003)

Revealing mistake: Before the Thanksgiving dinner the air is full of seeds which are supposed to be carried here from far-away meadows. However, all seeds fall down absolutely vertically like light snow in calm air, and there is no hint of the wind that blew them here. Plus, when the people sit down for dinner the seeds disappear between shots. (01:03:10 - 01:05:40)

Stille Liebe (2001)

Revealing mistake: When Antonia is cutting bread in the homeless shelter kitchen she gets startled and knocks an earthen pot on the ground. However, it doesn't look very accidental as she grabs the pot and throws it down. (00:06:55)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: In the climactic scene when the whole town ends up in Ben's and Pardner's tunnel system, including the brothel where young Horton is once again exploring his limits, the bed with Horton and his lady of choice falls on the street. When it topples over it's obvious that both Horton and his sparring partner are tied to the bed. (02:23:20)

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: In Rudd's office Riggs stops the first attacker with a good head butt. He misses the guy's face and just touches the chest a little, but in the next shot the guy is dramatically holding his nose. (01:01:45)

Revealing mistake: When Riggs is holding on to the front of the tow truck, in some wider shots you see how his jacket is squeezed by the rope which ties him to the car. (00:37:00)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Revealing mistake: The hole in the windshield through which the General's driver was shot is not a hole but a round spot of cracked glass. Only before the car gets hit by the bus there is a shot of a hole big enough for a bullet to zip through. (01:30:20)

The Piano (1993)

Revealing mistake: When Ada and Baines leave the island the Maoris pull the heavy canoe with the piano on top across the beach into the water. From the tracks in the sand you can tell that it runs on wheels. (01:44:35)

Chino (1973)

Revealing mistake: When Chino does some rodeo riding when he breaks in one of his horses we get a good view of the stuntman's face. (00:33:50)
