Revealing mistake: When Julia Louis-Dreyfus has the dog jump on her, you can tell it's a stunt double. In the shot of Julia, the gem on the back of her sequence dress and her hair doesn't go below the gem. When Snot is about to jump on her, the hair completely covers the gem and is much fuller and looks like a wig.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Clark falls over while on the ladder, after ripping his sleeve off, his hands keep changing position on the ladder. When he first starts to fall, his right hand is gripping the side and in the next shot both hands are gripping the rung. In the next shot both hands are on the side of the ladder until the shot after he pushes himself away from the tree and they go back to being on the rung for a shot.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)
Trivia: Olympia Dukakis appears, uncredited, as herself. She is cousins with former presidential nominee Michael Dukakis. Michael Dukakis' picture was used in a gag in Naked Gun 2 1/2.

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)
Trivia: In the jazz club, when the sad song is sung, the pictures seen on the wall are historically infamous disasters. The last picture seen is of Michael Dukakis. Later in the scene the disaster pictures change, but this seems to be a gag and does not qualify as a mistake, and we see a picture of a Ford Edsel as another example of a disaster.

Monk (2002)
Question: When Jay is about to shoot Monk on the boat, the boat dips in the water (almost the way a car would dip when hitting a pothole). What would cause this? It almost looks like it was done deliberately by a stunt driver. And if it's from hitting a wave or wake, I would think the boat would bounce up first.

The Three Stooges (2012)
Continuity mistake: When the boy give Murph a plate of cheese, it's sitting on her lap. When she reaches for the tissues, after spitting it out, the plate is on the nightstand.

Due Date (2010)
Factual error: After the truck drives over the drainage ditch and Peter tells Ethan not to tense up, there's a sign pointing to I-75, 8 miles away. At this point they are in Texas. I-75 runs north through Georgia (from Florida to Michigan) and is nowhere near Texas.

Due Date (2010)
Continuity mistake: When the station wagon knocks the car door off, there is no one directly behind it and only one Chevy a way back. In the next shot when Peter is looking out the door, suddenly there are several cars behind them. And the Chevy we see is not the same one we saw earlier.

Due Date (2010)
Continuity mistake: When Ethan starts laughing at Peter's story of his dad leaving, the dog is sitting on the jacket. In the next shot of the dog, the jacket is moved down and he's no longer sitting on it. The bottle of water on the jacket also changes position.

The Life and Times of Stan Smith - S12-E15
Character mistake: Klaus tells Steve how he can take him to ASU and introduce him to some choice people. Steve replies "I don't know, isn't that a party school?" and acts like he doesn't want to attend. However, in an earlier episode "A Nice Night for a Drive", Klaus tells Stan that Steve is hoping to attend ASU because of "sluts on campus."

Trivia: Near the beginning, we see a "Mishkin Pharmacy." This is nod to the DC comics writer Dan Mishkin. Incidentally, Mishkin also wrote for Marvel Comics.

Due Date (2010)
Factual error: When we see Ethan's driver's license, the expiry date is wrong. The month and day should be the same as his birthday, not the exam date.

Continuity mistake: When Dan and Allison are in bed and they finish kissing, you can see their bare chests and shoulders and the sheet is around their waist. In the next shot of them, the sheet is over Dan's shoulder and when he rolls over, the sheet is covering Allison's chest, before she pulls it up.
