Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the film O-Yuki is fighting the men in the forest and kills them one by one. When she kills the last one there is a close-up shot of her dagger entering his rib area and blood sprays out. However, if you pay close attention you can see the blood sprays out of his sleeve (presumably there is a device in there), not his torso. (00:01:18)

Spartacus (1960)
Revealing mistake: During the slave revolt at the Gladiator training academy there is a wideshot of the arena (with the slaves/soldiers fighting in the background) where you can see a slave trying to climb up a banner to the podium above. A soldier reaches down and stabs the slave however you can see he doesn't actually stab him. The slave then drops down and does a death twirl which isn't very convincing either. (00:56:42)

The Fog (1980)
Revealing mistake: When one of the sailors peers out of the circular window and sees the fog bank you can see the window has not been lined up properly with the superimposed fog as the two collide at the right edge. The film then cuts away to the sailors and then back to the window again and this error has been fixed. (00:16:30)

(01:18:47)

Revealing mistake: At the hot spring village, when the Ronin are discussing Itto, there is a close-up shot of one of the men's face (when he says "He may be skilled, but he's with his kid so he can't do anything") and you can see his bushy eyebrows are fake as well as the beginning of his hair cap. (00:54:50)

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972)
Revealing mistake: When Itto puts the cover on the baby carriage it's obvious that the sudden downpour of rain is just a sprinkler placed in front of the camera. Pay attention to the cover, Itto's clothing and the puddle behind the carriage, they remain completely dry/untouched. (00:11:00)

The X-Files (1993)
Revealing mistake: At The Beginning of the episode we see Duane being abducted and he begins to scream. Look at the "alien" on the left of the screen near to the top of the bed and you will see him move his head revealing where the suit ends and neck/head begins. (00:02:12)
