Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Revealing mistake: When the whales first swim past the now submerged Klingon Bird of Prey, if you look to the right where the water is supposed to meet the distant horizon, you can see an exposed edge to the 'horizon' as the water moves up and down. This is the edge of the pool they are in, and the exposed edge is the bottom of the painting of the sky behind them. (01:46:30)

Under Siege 2 (1995)
Revealing mistake: The actor who plays Tom Breaker is quite easily the worst impersonator of a smoker. Clearly not at ease with holding a cigarette, he also doesn't ever appear to inhale the cigarette smoke either.

Black Dawn (2005)
Revealing mistake: Quite obviously Steven Seagal is not jumping out of the warehouse window himself, it's blatantly a stuntman.

Revealing mistake: A yellow Pontiac GTO gets shot up, then gets blown in half with the rear end landing inside a shop window. If you look at the sideskirt of the car before it gets destroyed, you can see the cut already in the sideskirt where it will split apart. (02:01:20)

Shopping (1994)

27th Nov 2008
Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)
Revealing mistake: When Caymans right hand man throws his spear through the bodies of two enemies, you can see that the part of the spear sticking out of the second guy isn't remotely in line with the spear going through the first guy.

Speed (1994)
Revealing mistake: As the bus makes the impossible right turn at high speed, you can see the outrigger wheels underneath to stop the bus going over.
2nd Nov 2008
Speed (1994)
Revealing mistake: When Traven is walking back to his car before the first bus explodes, as the bus drives past him, you can see from the shadow it casts that the bus isn't driving straight on. It turns the corner behind his car. Obviously a prop bus is further down the street and that is the one that blows up in its place.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008)
Revealing mistake: As Cameron flips over the Jeep Cherokee, the smoke coming from the bottom of it is from the cannon used to flip it, the cannon in later shots then disappears, more notably when the camera goes above the Jeep with Sarah crawling out.
9th Oct 2008
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Revealing mistake: The shot of Nicholas Angel jumping into the skip is a stuntman with a rather vividly dyed wig.
9th Sep 2008
Volcano (1997)
Revealing mistake: When the fireman goes to enter the fire truck that is on its side to rescue his friend, for whatever reason, the filmmakers sped up the film during his entry into the truck, it looks really out of place. (00:40:30)
6th Sep 2008
Volcano (1997)
![Volcano mistake picture](/images/screenshots/140000-140999/140879_sm.jpg)
Revealing mistake: When the fire truck gets hit by a lava ball and flips over, you can see two smoke plumes coming out the bottom of the truck. These are the remains of the two cannons used to flip the truck over. (00:34:55)
25th Aug 2008
Police Academy 6: City Under Siege (1989)
Revealing mistake: During the chase with the bus with Harris and Procter on board, they take a detour by smashing through a fence so they don't hit a load of cars. Behind the cars, you can see the ramp to give the bus a bit of a lift through the fence.
21st Aug 2008
Get Smart (2008)
Revealing mistake: When Maxwell drives the red Sunbeam Tiger out of CONTROL's foyer, you can see the added skid pan underneath the car to protect it as it jumps down the steps.
