Continuity mistake: George is on the phone with his wife when he gets hit by the taxi; as he crosses the street there are 2 taxis at the light, when the camera angle changes and he's on the hood of the 2nd taxi, we never see the 1st taxi drive forward. When the camera angle changes back, the 1st taxi is now a blue car.

Lethal Weapon (1987)
Audio problem: In the beginning, when Murtaugh's daughter comes downstairs in the black dress the dialog is dubbed in. After the spin, she's talking but she doesn't move her mouth (even before the spin she isn't in sync). Her little sister replies and doesn't move her mouth either.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Hawkeye: Are you up for this? Are you? Look, I just need to know because the city is, is flying. Okay, look, the city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Trivia: The story Lt. Valeris tells of the word origin for "sabotage", with sabots being thrown into machinery, is simply not true (although a persistent enough falsehood not to be considered a movie mistake). While the word does take its roots from sabots (wooden shoes), it comes from French anarchist Pouget wanting to translate the British practice of ca'cannery, deliberately working slowly, into a French word. Those who wore wooden shoes moved clumsily and slower than those with leather shoes.

Continuity mistake: Max's antler changes constantly after being cut. The number of cut branches, the size, and locations all changes at various times. At first, it's 4 cut branches. Then when he jumps on the sleigh it's 3, and when he's hooked up to the sleigh, it's just 2.

Billy Madison (1995)
High School Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said, is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Billy Madison: OK, a simple "wrong" would have done just fine.

Skyfall (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Bond is on the train, before he gets into the backhoe, the number of people and cars on the street keep changing. Even if the train moved forward, the people/cars seen in the next shot weren't seen in the previous shots.

The Santa Clause 2 (2002)
Neil Miller: I know you can find someone wonderful to spend the rest of your life with. Don't let the facts that you have no time, no prospects, and a paralyzingly fear of intimacy, get you down.

Audio problem: When McClane goes to Lorenzo's office for the first time, we hear Lorenzo say "who is it? Come in." His lips don't move (which you can tell despite his mug being up to his mouth).
