Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is confronted by the monster in the school gym, after Billy flees, the monster hits Buffy, and she falls on her back, and her legs both fly up in the air. It cuts to another angle, and her legs are no longer in the air.

Trivia: You can briefly see that Willow has a bumper sticker for the band "Nerf Herder" in her locker. They're the band who does the theme song for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is taking the test in history class, in a wideshot, her teacher walks past her and his shadow passes over her as he walks by. It then cuts to a closeup, and we see his shadow quickly pass over her a second time.

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Buffy goes to take her history test near the beginning of the episode and is talking to Cordelia outside the door about how she doesn't think she can pass, pay attention. As it cuts back and forth from Buffy to Cordelia, you see the same student (an African American girl with a black jacket, white shirt and earrings) enter the history classroom twice.

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Joyce drops off Buffy at school, pay attention to the car windows. They open and close repeatedly throughout the scene depending on the angle. (This seems to be for the benefit of the scene depending on the camera angle. They seem to lower the window the camera is shooting through while closing the one on the opposite side, and it switches back and forth. Still, it's a mistake).

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Joyce drops off Buffy at school, Joyce lets go of the steering wheel and lowers her arms. It then cuts to the opposite angle and Joyce is suddenly holding the steering wheel again.

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when we first see Cordelia, she's looking in a hand-mirror and makes a snotty remark to another student. Instantly between the second and third shots she goes from holding the mirror with hand to both hands.

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode when Buffy and Willow stop at Buffy's locker, in the first shot, Willow has her backpack strap on her shoulder and takes it off. It then cuts to another angle and Willow's backpack strap is back on her shoulder, and she takes it off a second time.

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: In the beginning dream sequence, when Buffy is surprised by the Master and backs up into the wall, watch her two pigtails. As the scene cuts back and forth between Buffy and the Master, her pigtails move from behind her shoulders to in front of her shoulders and back several times. First they're both behind her shoulders, then only one is behind, then both are in front, then one moves back behind again, etc. Obviously multiple different takes were cut together in editing.

Audio problem: When Shelly is being wheeled away in the beginning, she makes a strained gasping sound right before they put the oxygen mask back on her. But her gasp doesn't match her mouth movements. In fact, it's impossible to make the sound she made with the mouth movements she made. Try it yourself. It almost looks like she's saying "F**k" or something similar, and they just dubbed it over with a gasp. Additionally, the gasp is far too loud and clear given how softly she's speaking. Bad looping.

Deliberate mistake: When Eric first enters his old apartment, watch very closely. When he first wanders in the room, his body has a slightly weird jitter and blur to it that doesn't quite match his movements. This is because the footage of Eric walking through the doorway is actually taken from the scene in the alley. They "cut" Brandon Lee out of that scene and inserted him into the apartment since they didn't have a shot of him. But unfortunately, it has some odd "glitches" due the footage not quite matching.

Trivia: YouTuber Jay Bauman from RedLetterMedia was actually an extra during the filming of one scene, but quit before it was done shooting because he hated the long hours.

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening action-scene, as Rick backs away from the wall when the raiders start to leap over, there's a shot behind him where the camera pulls back... and you can see a near-perfect row of white markers (likely for the extras or actors) in the sand. There's at least five of them in a line.

Revealing mistake: In the first shot of the movie, the camera moves from the Sphinx through a town square. If you pay attention to the people in the crowd, it becomes painfully obvious which people are real (who were filmed in front of a green screen and composed into the scene) and which people are CGI. There's at least 4 (likely more) CGI people in the town square to populate it more, and they all noticeably move with a stiff, generic "walk-cycle" and even look slightly "blocky," like they're low-polygon models.

Trivia: Star Rooney Mara reportedly hated the script and only took the lead because she needed a career boost. She said the experience making the film was awful, though she has not divulged exactly why. Her experience making the film and its very poor reception even nearly made her quit the industry before David Fincher cast her in his films "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which garnered her critical acclaim and revitalized her career.

Trivia: Original series star Robert Englund was very supportive of the film during production, but admitted after it came out that he disliked how it turned out, feeling Krueger's makeup design was poor and that the characters weren't likeable or empathetic enough.

Trivia: Around the time of the movie's release, the creators and studios behind the "Jackass" franchise were sued by a man who had legally changed his name to "Jack Ass" in the 90's to raise awareness of drunk driving. Mr. Ass (don't laugh) sought over $10 million in damages, claiming that the franchise would ruin his reputation, but the case was eventually tossed out by the court, presumably because "jackass" is a very common word.

Trivia: The Crypt Keeper's eyes are actually taken from another famous animatronic monster... Chucky the killer doll! The Crypt Keeper was made by the same special effects wizards that created Chucky, and they decided to reuse some of the eyes they made for Chucky when they created the Crypt Keeper puppets, since they fit the design. (Albeit they were ever-so-slightly repainted to look a bit more "rotted").

Other mistake: During the opening action scene, as Rick is firing the pistols after he backs up from the outer wall (shortly before he finds Beni and is locked outside the tomb), pay attention... you can see that many of the extras in the background aren't really doing much of anything even though the two groups are supposedly in battle. A lot of the raiders and doreign legion members are just standing around or aimlessly walking. Only a few of them are (poorly) pretending to "fight." (00:09:50)

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening action scene, when the raiders start firing their guns towards the French Foreign Legion, there's a wide-shot of several French troops being killed, and a few of them fall over a balcony to their death. As some of the soldiers on the left side of screen fall of screen and land behind some piles of sand, you can briefly see the edge of an air bag (or some other form of padding) pop up a few times with each one.
