Revealing mistake: When Luke and C3PO are outside of the farm searching for R2D2, a droid passes in front of them. You can see lines in the sand, either to keep the robot in a straight line, or where the wheels of the robot have gone in earlier takes. (00:26:50)

Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats - S2-E2

Other mistake: When the Mystery Company find a torn paper in a coffin, it is written exo-6 and something else. They find later that exo is the first part of exotic. The way the paper was torn, you should be able to see the lower part of the missing letters.

Gale Force (2002)

Factual error: When the bomb explodes, the entire house is blown up and a police car near it flies into the air, but Sam, the mayor's daughter and the other policemen are not really affected by that. They are only at the other side of the street.

The Fifth Element (1997)

21st Oct 2003

Star Wars (1977)

Other mistake: Just before Darth Vader enters the Blockade Runner, there are some kind of tiny white-green lasers in the air. They are sometimes in line with the normal red ones. The stormtroopers and the security guards of Leia are both using red lasers, so there is no reason to see green ones.

Rope (1948)

Trivia: At first, this film seems to have only one scene and two shots, one outside and another inside. Actually, it is divided in a series of 10 minute continuous shots, 10 minutes being the maximum duration of filming possible without reloading the camera. Every 10 minutes, the camera zooms on a dark object and then cuts.
