Revealing mistake: When the FBI agents are thrown into the pool, you can see, at the very end, when one is "falling" down to the bottom, that bubbles are entering one's mouth, showing that one was actually rising and the video was reversed.

Hot Shots Part Deux (1993)
Revealing mistake: When Topper is fighting the Thai Fighter, they break the ladder that sends some people falling down. Before the shot cuts, you can see the guy with the pink shirt falling, and he has a dummy attached to him. This is not the same as other dummies who are obviously meant to be noticed (like the guy holding the "John 3:17" sign).

Spin City (1996)

Demon Knight (1995)
Revealing mistake: When The Collector cuts his hand to summon the demons, you can easily see that no actual cut is made, and blood begins to drip from a point beneath the starting point.

Wishmaster (1997)
Revealing mistake: After the Djinn escapes and there's an explosion in the lab, you can see some stuff on the ground that looks like it's on fire. The objects are not actually burning, the fire is being produced by a burner. There's no smoke from the objects, which is a dead giveaway that they're not actually "on fire." (00:18:15)

Home Alone (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Marv is about to hit Harry, who has the spider on his stomach, you can tell that, for two shots, it's a fake spider. The real spider is brown. In the shots where Marv is standing about to hit it, the spider is black and motionless. (01:26:00)

Smart Guy (1997)
Working Guy - S2-E2
Revealing mistake: When Yvette and Floyd are playing basketball, the guys come home and distract him. Yvette makes some impressive shots, and you can tell that it's a stunt double because the hair is totally different. Yvette's is big and puffy, and the double's is long and straight. (00:08:15 - 00:09:40)

Smart Guy (1997)
Revealing mistake: A little oversight on the part of the producers. At the final scores that we are shown, Amy has $10,000, TJ has $9,800, and Travis has $2,400. This all adds up to $22,200. Even if they only answered $400 questions (which we can see that they don't), that's about 55 questions at best, only in the first half. That would run way longer, probably about three or four times as long, as any normal game show. And there's no mention of any other rules regarding the scores so there's no reason to think that there are bonus questions that could raise it that much.

House, M.D. (2004)
Revealing mistake: When the boy vomits on his girlfriend, the liquid comes from nowhere near his mouth. It comes from around his chest. (00:18:40)

Flight of the Navigator (1986)
Revealing mistake: When David enters the food robot to escape, he makes a left at a cop car with the license plate 11385. A few moments later, he passes the same exact car going in the other direction. (00:41:40)

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
Revealing mistake: When the black singer of the band of the nightclub can't perform, Dewey steps up to prove his worth. When he starts getting really into it, he joins the piano player in playing some tunes. You can see some keys playing, but they are not being touched by either person. (00:20:50)
