Continuity mistake: When Clown and Al arrive at the graveyard, after Clown says "This is where old folks go after Florida, son!," watch Al. He goes from being right near the ground to almost totally sat up instantly between shots.

Spawn (1997)
Visible crew/equipment: When Al's arm is lit on fire, you can see what looks to be some sort-of sparking device on his arm that started the flame. It's not the cigarette that Wynn just threw... it's too big to be that.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Al collapses in the alley and says "Feels like my skin is about to explode!", watch closely. In the first shot, he's about to flop down onto the right side of the stairway... but in the next shot, he collapses onto the left side.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: In the director's cut, when Clown squeezes the cream out of the donut in the alley and says "What does this remind you of?", suddenly the donut vanishes from his hand in the next shot. He didn't put it down... it just disappears between frames.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, when Clown pulls off his clown outfit in the alley, he starts to throw it to his right side. However, two shots later, it's visible on the ground behind his left.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, Clown puts down a drink and some snacks on a garbage can and rips off his clown outfit. When he puts the drink down, it falls over. However, just a few shots later, suddenly it's standing back up again. (He never picked it back up between the shots).

The Real Ghostbusters (1986)
Janine, You've Changed - S6-E1
Trivia: This episode was written by series story-editor J. Michael Straczynski as an inside joke and meta swipe against the network and consulting firm Q5 for forcing them to soften the character of Janine after the first batch of episodes. Their mandate infuriated all the writers, who preferred the original cynical, snappy Janine. Straczynski making Janine's changes the result of an evil entity reportedly infuriated the network and Q5, who realised that he was essentially calling THEM evil.

Halloween II (1981)
Revealing mistake: When Michael emerges on fire from the blown up room, if you look closely, you can see plain as day the moment when they light the stunt man on fire for the stunt. (Suddenly you see fire erupt in the shape of Michael's body.) And if you look VERY closely, shortly before this you can even briefly kind of see the stuntman playing Michael in the doorway waiting to be lit on fire. (The bottom half of his body is visible for a split-second a moment before they light him up).

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: Co-star Lance Guest would later go on to star in "The Last Starfighter," a family-friendly sci-fi adventure film and cult-favorite. That film was directed by Nick Castle... who just-so-happened to play Michael Myers in the original "Halloween." Castle was a film-school friend of John Carpenter who got drafted into playing Michael before he began a career as a director himself. Funnily enough, the next film, "Halloween III", co-starred Dan O'Herlihy, who also appeared in "The Last Starfighter."

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: The mask featured in the film is actually the exact same mask from the first movie. It looks different for two reasons... first, because the actor portraying Michael had a wider head, which stretched it out slightly, and second, because it had started to fade and also got a yellowish hue due to being stored in writer Debra Hill's home. Hill was a chain-smoker, and suspected that constant smoke in the air gave the mask a slight yellowish stain.

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: The hot therapy tub where two characters have sex and one is killed was actually freezing behind the scenes and also got very dirty and unsterile just sitting around. Actress Pamela Shoop said that she and Leo Rossi were literally shivering, and that she ended up getting an ear infection due to having her head repeatedly dunked in the dirty, freezing water.

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: John Carpenter has said that the writing process for the film mostly involved him sitting in front of a typewriter drinking beer and not being sure what to write. Key plot points, such as Michael and Laurie being brother and sister, were just things he came up with on the fly because he was trying to think of ways to justify a sequel even existing, since he felt there was no more story to tell.

The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Trivia: The sets were built with a technique called "forced perspective." Only some of the buildings and streets were standard sized, but as they went further into the distance, they became smaller and smaller. When viewed through the camera, this creates the illusion that the sets are larger than they actually were. It's very noticeable during the song "Feels Like Christmas." When the camera cranes up at the end, you can actually see some of the actors are almost as tall as the background "houses."

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Trivia: It was Margot Robbie's idea to appear nude in the doorway. She was scripted to be wearing a slinky robe, but Robbie felt that her character would not wear a robe, reasoning that her character's body was her "form of currency" and that she'd exploit that to "lay her cards on the table."

Community (2009)
Continuity mistake: In the very first shot, we can see there's a man with a dark coat, sunglasses, short hair and earbuds standing directly in front of the dean. When it cuts to the opposite angle, he's no longer there. When it cuts back to the first angle a few shots later, he's suddenly back.

Ginger Snaps (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Brigitte pries the photo of the werewolf out of her Polaroid camera, in the first shot, her hands are extremely pink/red. (I'm not sure if it's the lighting, or if it's meant to be blood from cleaning off her sister.) Regardless, the color is very obvious. When it cuts to a closeup of her hands holding the photo, suddenly, he skin is perfectly white and not pink. It cuts back to the first angle, and they are very pink/red again. Clearly the closeup shot was filmed at a different time.

Ginger Snaps (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are buying tampons, when Brigitte says "This one comes with a free calendar" she turns around to look at Ginger. The way she is holding the box of tampons and her laptop (I think that's a laptop?) changes instantly between cuts. Ginger also moves about a foot or two back between the same cut.

Ginger Snaps (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Jason is trying to get Ginger to smoke with him at the store, he leans in and says " nothing quite takes the edge off like a good toke!" His face is only about 4-5" from her face to her left. It then cuts to another angle, and we see he's longer that close to her in fact he's not even onscreen, meaning he moved back instantly at least a foot between cuts.

Ginger Snaps (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte get home after Ginger is attacked by the werewolf, the amount and pattern of the blood on Ginger (especially around her face) changes from when they first enter the living room door, to when it cuts to Ginger being laid down on the bed.

Ginger Snaps (2000)
Visible crew/equipment: When Ginger and Brigitte find the dead dog in the park while they're going to prank the mean-girl, there's a dramatic shot where the camera moves between them and tilts down to reveal the dog. When this happens, you can blatantly see the shadow of the camera move over Ginger's back/arm.
