Revealing mistake: When Daniel (Macchio) sees Kumiko (Tomita) dancing in Tomi Village Green, several U.S. service members are watching. Close inspection reveals they are wearing no nametapes, rank, or branch tapes on their uniforms. All that is visible is the bare Velcro sections.

No Time to Die (2021)
Factual error: During Bond's fight in the stairwell at the lab/missile site, several soldiers use RGD-5 hand grenades against him. One explodes next to him while between a steel door and concrete stair. The RGD-5 is lethal at 3 meters and causes injury at 25 meters. Even if shielded, Bond would be severely injured by the blast damage.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Continuity mistake: When Maverick and Rooster steal the F-14 Tomcat, Maverick adjusts the throttle to move the aircraft out of the hangar. When he does, the wing sweep lever (marked by black/yellow diagonal lines) is all the way forward: wings fully extended. When Rooster says both runways are destroyed, Maverick flips the cover up and pushes the lever forward to extend the wings, but it already was. Back means the wings are stowed, forward means the wings are extended.

Innerspace (1987)
Other mistake: When Jack (Martin Short) is injected with the syringe, it's done in his butt cheek, through his pants, just below the waist of his coat.

Devotion (2022)
Revealing mistake: During the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, just before VF-32 comes in to provide air support, the Marines are firing their M1 Rifles. One of them mimics the recoil of it but we don't see the bolt move back when he fires his rifle. The M1 Rifle or Garand is semiautomatic, and the bolt moves back each time the shooter pulls the trigger.

Chernobyl (2019)
Revealing mistake: When Dyatlov goes outside the control room to check on the situation after the explosion, his collar and button strip on both his shirt and coat change positions. When he's in the room, it's facing his right, but when he leaves the room and see graphite on the ground below him, it's facing his left.

R-Point (2004)
Factual error: Throughout the film, Lieutenant Choi and his platoon use a radio with a handset to communicate with their base. The radio however has an H-250 handset, which wasn't introduced until 1987, and the film takes place in 1972. The radio handset should be the H-189, which is the correct model for the Vietnam war from 1966 onwards.

Titanic (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Jack looks through the porthole (which is full submerged underwater) while cuffed, he looks over his left shoulder which is facing the hull of the ship. He then turns his head which cuts to him inside the room, his left shoulder is now facing away from the hull of the ship, towards the door. The shot of him looking through the porthole is possibly a reversed shot.

Law & Order (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Briscoe and Green investigate the auto yard with the stolen, blue SUV, Briscoe handcuffs the owner. When he cuffs him, he turns him, showing his back and his hands behind his back. You can see the actor isn't cuffed, just holding the handcuffs as he walks. (00:06:35)

Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Other mistake: During the hospital scene where the robotic arms kill all the operating room staff, we see 4 different camera angles on the last doctor to be killed. All the arms have cameras in them, and show his face screaming at 4 different angles. Yet it should only be 3 as one arm has its claw wrapped around his neck. And it doesn't release from him, as it can be seen still wrapped around his neck by the other 3 cameras in each claw.

Revealing mistake: When Jason climbs down the broken fire escape, the Embassy Marines are close behind him. One of them kicks open the exit door, he is wearing a pair of Navy blue trousers with a red stripe down the leg, along with black leather shoes (like most of the other Marines). When the Marine kicks the door open, it cuts to him looking down. His pants are now dark green or brown, along with different shoes. This shot being almost the same when Jason walks through the door and looks down.
