Revealing mistake: When Tree accidentally runs off the hospital roof, you can get a quick but pretty clear look at the stunt-woman's face as she falls, right before she hits the ground. The stunt-woman's body is also very slightly stockier than Tree's actress Jessica Rothe.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
Continuity mistake: When alternate-universe Danielle is pretending to be blind in the food court, she starts to feel her hand around Tree. At one point, she starts to move her hand down Tree's back, but when it cuts, suddenly her hand is at the side of Tree's head.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the basketball game, there's someone in a red hoodie and a baby mask sitting directly next to Ryan. A few shots later, you can see over his shoulder, and there's someone else entirely next to him - a woman without a baby mask wearing an entirely different top. Then, a little later in the scene, the person in the baby mask and hoodie reappears next to Ryan in a few wide-shots.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Ryan leads Tree and Carter to where he was killed in the beginning, as Tree walks to the closet with the baseball bat, she passes through some light and into a shadow. (There are areas of light and shadow in the room). When the camera cuts, suddenly she's back in the light.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
Revealing mistake: When Tree kills herself by throwing herself out of a plane, in the shot where she lands in front of Carter and Danielle, it's very blatantly obvious she was filmed on a greenscreen and comped in. The lighting on Tree doesn't quite match the lighting of the scene, and there are very obvious and unnatural hard lines around her hair where the background was rotoscoped/keyed out.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Trivia: Supposedly, one early draft of the script had Rick and Evie resurrecting Imhotep from the first two films as a begrudging ally to help them defeat the Dragon Emperor. Imhotep actor Arnold Vosloo wasn't keen on this idea, and opted out. He was also good friends with Stephen Sommers, who directed the first two films, and didn't want to do a "Mummy" movie without him at the helm. (Sommers produced this film but stepped away from the director's seat).

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Trivia: The actors who voiced the toons would usually stand off-camera and recite their lines to help the live-action actors with their performances. Charles Fleischer, who voiced Roger Rabbit, had one peculiar demand, though - he asked the production to make him a full-size Roger costume to wear, complete with fur and big, floppy ears. He felt that dressing up in a (ridiculous and hilarious looking) Roger costume would help him get into character every day.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Trivia: A fun little tid-bit about how an effect was achieved. According to one of the effects artists, when the Emperor is dying, you see parts of his face sort of bubbling and melting and turning black. Especially his cheeks. Evidently, this is actually digitally manipulated footage of sheets of processed cheese being melted and burned, which was then color-corrected and 3D mapped onto Jet Li's face. I guess you could say this movie kinda takes the term "cheesy" to a whole 'nother level.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Continuity mistake: In the very last fight, when Rick jumps down and charges the Emperor, watch his hands. In the first shot, they're moving back and forth as he runs. Then it cuts, and they're instantly up like a boxer despite him having no time to lift them between edits. Then it cuts to a shot from behind, and you can tell from his shoulders that he no longer has his arms up. Again, there's not enough time for him to have lowered his arms between edits. It goes by quickly so you have to pay close attention.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Trivia: Many involved with the film have spoken about its poor reception. Eddie Murphy has joked that he knows "two or three" people that like it. Director Ron Underwood has said he thinks the film "was not very good." And co-star Joe Pantoliano has said "because of the material and the style in which some players came to work, we were off the mark, you know?" Pantoliano has also expressed regret at the way the film impacted director Underwood's career, saying Underwood was "victimized" by it.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Trivia: The scenes in the snowy mountains were actually filmed on an incredibly hot soundstage. Everyone was profusely sweating at all times under the hot stage lights. It reportedly was so hot that whenever she could, Maria Bello would wear literally nothing beneath her coat except a bra.

Van Helsing (2004)
Visible crew/equipment: When Dracula says "You can't kill me, Victor... I'm already dead!" in the beginning, pay attention. As the camera dramatically moves towards the two men, you can see the shadow of the camera appear on the lower half of Victor's face. It's not Dracula's shadow, because it appears after Dracula moves right in front of him, and perfectly coincides with the camera movement. There's also a brief flash of lightning, and the lightning shows that the shadow is very "boxy," unlike a human shadow.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Continuity mistake: During the big chase, when Alex is under the chariot, he lets go, spins around and climbs up the back with Lin's help. In one shot under the chariot, you can see that he has a big hole in the left kneecap of his pants. But a few shots later as he's climbing up the back, the hole disappears and is missing throughout the rest of the scene. Seems the wardrobe got damaged and then replaced during filming.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Continuity mistake: When Evie goes to seduce Rick, she pulls the belt on her gown and the camera cuts. Instantly between cuts, her robe is suddenly open.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Audio problem: When Jonathan leaves at the very end of the film, watch the valet's face. When he says the lines "Let me get your bags, sir" and "Where you off to, Mr. Carnahan?", it's very clear he's not actually saying the lines. In fact, his chin/mouth are barely moving at all. Jonathan's dialogue "Don't touch it, don't touch it!" also seems to not match. It seems like every single line in the scene before "Step on it, I've got a plane to catch!" was either (poorly) dubbed or added during post-production.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Continuity mistake: When Rick tells Alex that he put down "more mummies" than him and Alex replies "You put down ONE mummy, dad!" watch Alex's head. In the first shot, he's facing Rick. When it cuts, suddenly he's instantly looking to his right, and then he turns his head to face Rick again.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Revealing mistake: When Lin flies down and kicks the evil general into the gears, it's painfully obvious that the actress is on a wire. Her body unnaturally sort of floats as she's performing the kick, then after she's made contact with him, you see her unnaturally move backwards and land on the ground while clutching something invisible (presumably the wire that was painted out) in her hand. When she lands on the ground, it's also clear from her feet not touching the ground "properly" that she's being suspended.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Audio problem: When the Yeti kicks a "goal" with the soldier and the gate, pay attention to the shots and the soldier's scream. In the second shot, the soldier is an instant away from hitting the gate - he's literally only a few feet away from it. Then it cuts to a shot of the Yeti watching, and you hear the soldier continuing to yell for several seconds, even though you should hear him hit the gate. It then cuts back to the soldier and he finally hits the gate. The timing of the scream makes no sense.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Continuity mistake: When Alex arrives at the club towards the beginning, Jonathan pulls him away from the pretty woman and gets him a drink. The camera is behind them in a medium-wide shot, then cuts to a side shot as the pretty woman walks by and Alex watches her. Except when the camera cuts, the pretty woman just sort of appears right next to Alex, when she wasn't visible in the previous shot. Jonathan also goes from looking straight forward at Alex to looking to his right at the bar between the same cut.

Jackass Forever (2022)
Trivia: Series co-star Bam Margera was fired during production for reportedly failing to take cooperate with various conditions set for his appearance, such as random drug tests. After being fired, he started a lawsuit against the other creators and reportedly sent death-threats to longtime "Jackass" director Jeff Tremaine, resulting in Tremaine taking out a restraining order against him. Despite his firing, Margera did film a few scenes and does briefly appear in the finished film.
