Revealing mistake: Gratuitous car explosions are nothing new in action films ... but this time the ambulance explodes in mid-air before even hitting anything. (00:32:22)

Hudson Hawk (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Bruce is making a phone call, the glass of the phone booth is normal. Just before he swings the blond thug around into it, a pane is shown that is obviously fake - it is discoloured and not smooth. (00:47:00)

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Revealing mistake: When Barry is arguing on the phone with the Healthy Choices employee, the map on the wall behind him is creased in the Texas/Arkansas area before he punches it there. This could perhaps be the result of a previous take or some sort of indication of where the soft spot in the wall is so that Adam Sandler doesn't really break his hand. (01:00:25)

M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: When Baker is talking with Father Mulcahy it is clear that Baker's nose is prosthetic. The colour doesn't match as well as it does in other scenes. (00:05:45)

M*A*S*H (1972)
For the Good of the Outfit - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: Frank is shaving; when he bends down to pick up the envelope containing shrapnel fragments, the foam on his face and ear suddenly all dries up. The shot must have needed a lot of takes. (00:07:20)

M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: When Charlie drops the bomb on the General's jeep it is obvious that the jeep is already burnt and mangled when the explosion starts. (00:14:15)

M*A*S*H (1972)
Revealing mistake: The first scene is set in the X-Ray room. There is an X-Ray up on a lightbox in the background. Towards the end of episode 14, there is a scene in the O.R. - the exact same X-Ray is visible in the background there as well. (00:45:00)

The Replacement Killers (1998)
Revealing mistake: After shooting in the door to Meg's office, the man in the darker jacket shoots the computer then steps into the room. John jumps him and grabs his gun (his shirt is unmarked in this shot). John then shoots him at point blank range. In the closeup of the shooting, the man's shirt is already torn - and the bloodpack/charge is visible through the hole - for a few frames before the gun is fired and the special effect goes off.

Lost in Space (1998)
Revealing mistake: When Penny and Blart are reunited at the end, the animators didn't put the creature where Penny is looking. She also tries to lift it onto her shoulder, but it is nowhere near her hand.

Lost in Space (1998)
Revealing mistake: During the attack of the Global Sedition on the space station at the beginning of the film, several objects can be seen with dark grey boxes around them - CGI artifacts. One clear time is when Ranger 1 is saying "Damn, can't shake him". (00:02:35)

The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)
Revealing mistake: The newspaper says that the Pink Panther was stolen on 24th January. The scenes of Gstaad, in the Swiss alps, were obviously not filmed in January. The temperature in Gstaad gets up to about 5°C/41°F in January yet people are shown wearing light clothing with bare arms. (00:53:05)

The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)
Revealing mistake: When Clouseau's neighbour slams her door, the number 6 partially falls down revealing another number (an 8?) (00:22:50)

The Pink Panther (1963)
Revealing mistake: During the scene in Clouseau's hotel room at night, there is a light outside which shines on the net curtains to simulate moonlight. This light is off when the room lights are on, and is turned on when the room lights are turned off. At one point, when Inspector Clouseau is going into the bathroom after giving the sleeping pill to his wife, the fake moonlight suddenly turns on for no reason.

The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)
Revealing mistake: When Clouseau answers the phone he shuffles his right foot slightly so that it isn't directly over the spot that Dreyfus drills through a few seconds later. (00:19:45)
14th Jul 2003
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)
Revealing mistake: While fighting Clouseau, Cato sticks a wooden pole through the screen of a television. The screen is made of paper. (00:17:30)
