Just Like Heaven (2005)

Revealing mistake: When Abbey grabs the knife and threatens David, David falls and hits the tea party table, sending the tea set onto the floor. As Elizabeth crosses to be next to David, her foot hits a pink tea cup piece on the floor sending it rolling away behind her. As a ghost her foot should have just passed through the object.

Quantum Leap (1989)

Leap of Faith - August 19, 1963 - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: The newspaper Father John holds up has the headline "Youth Hit By Train", but the article text under it talks about Diane Feinstein's election race against John Van de Kamp for California governor in 1990, the year the episode was filmed. Other article texts do not match either. The text under the Bangladesh Flood article talks about Germany's reunification, which also happened in 1990, after the Soviet collapse. The paper is a copy of the Los Angeles Times with the titles and date changed. (00:05:10)

Quantum Leap (1989)

Good Night, Dear Heart - November 9, 1957 - S2-E17

Revealing mistake: When Sam is talking to the sheriff in the parlor and says it can't be prosecuted, he walks in front of a mirror and we see the real doctor in the mirror, except we see the real doctor standing up just as he becomes visible, and Sam's shoulder just to the left. They used the mirror's angle to fake the mirror image, and probably panned the camera over the other actor's head as it swung around which is why he had to stand up. (00:38:40)

Singularity - S1-E15

Air Force One (1997)

Revealing mistake: When the fax machine is supposed to be printing out the incoming fax its LCD display shows that it is actually copying a document. The film crew must have pressed the copy button to achieve the effect of a piece of paper coming out. (01:16:05)
