Melrose Place (1992)

Free Kimmy - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: When Jane punches Jo at the doorstep, the pool appears just a few yards distance behind Jo, when in previous episodes the pool is located in the center court, at least 100 feet from all doorsteps.

They Live (1988)

Revealing mistake: After Holly tells Nada that she works at Cable 54, he springs to his feet, and she cracks a glass over his head which dramatically sends him crashing out her bay window, to the bank below. Which would not happen in such a pricey home as hers with the thicker quality glass.

Suggested correction: Not really a mistake, just a character choice. Grant Show wasn't married at the time, so it's not his wedding band we see, it's just a ring.

The Music Man (1962)

Character mistake: When Marian is correcting Amaryllis for the girls' poor grammar in saying "can I" instead of "may I" over the cross-hand piece, the girl then asks if she can go play that cross-hand piece and Marian replies, "now you can play your cross-hand piece."

The O.C. (2003)

The Case of the Franks - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: When the limo pulls up to the hot dog stand, Julie steps out from the back seat. And as she walks toward Frank standing in front of the picnic tables, the limo driver is visible behind the wheel. Julie joins Frank at a table, and then Ryan decides to enjoy a last spin in the limo telling Taylor they've rented it for 2 more hours. In the next shot they are sitting in the front seat talking while Ryan is at the wheel, when the limo driver never left the vehicle. (00:41:20 - 00:42:46)

Other mistake: When King John's henchman goes to slap Robin across the face the camera suddenly cuts to Robin kicking the henchmen in the chest, sending the henchman backwards into the crowd. Indicating an obvious retake that Flynn had lost his footing during the 1st take. After the henchman barrels backward it suddenly cuts to John speaking with Gisbourne about revenge.

Continuity mistake: When Robin and Marian are in each other's arms in her private boudoir, their character angles change between the closeup shots. One moment they are closely starring into each other's eyes, and the next they are shown at least 3-4 feet apart.

Continuity mistake: When Robin Hood and Marian are talking they are 4 to 5 feet apart. But in the close-ups they are practically touching shoulders. An obvious angle change to create intimate connection between them.

Melrose Place (1992)

Bye Bye Billy - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: The rooms Amanda and Billy fool around in are different between the scenes. Earlier they are at Amanda's apartment, with the bed across from a window. Later when she brings Billy breakfast the next morning, the bed is different and there's a wall where the window was previously.

Revealing mistake: As Veruca sings "I want it now" in the egg room, the plastic seams on a few of the golden eggs are quite visible, along with their 'dimpling' near the tops and bottoms, as the Oompa Loopmas pass them around for polishing.

Fright Night (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Charlie and Peter find the bitten wounded Amy lying unconscious on the floor in Jerry's bedroom, she is shaking as she transforms into a vampire. Her hair also changes back and forth between the shots. From a perfect curly coif to a longer frizzy vampish do. Then when Peter enters the room alone, and she gets up, it's suddenly long and curly down her shoulders.

Moonlighting (1985)

The Murder's in the Mail - S1-E6

Factual error: Dead blonde guy is sitting upright in the chair, as Dave/Maddie close in, and Maddie realises he isn't moving. David goes to him and smacks him across the shoulder, to "wake him up" and blonde dead guy, right on cue, instantly slumps over a table at his right side, when the direction that David hit his shoulder, should have sent the dead guy slumping more forward, then at the front edge of the table. Obviously staged for the actor's comfort.

Other mistake: After Leonardo sets up his canvas to begin painting The Last Supper with Jesus with his disciples, he says "hold it" and then the camera flips to show the men (and Comicus) now situated behind the table. Look at the disciple in the blue tunic at the right, who first looks off to his right, then corrects his position, and faces left, with his arms extended. (00:52:32)

Twister (1996)

Factual error: After the 3rd twister knocks down Dorothy, spilling the micro balls on the pavement, Jo yells at Bill to stop the truck so she can gather them up, Bill grabs at her to stop, calling her obsessed over something that happened when she was a child. The camera then zooms in on the truck CB radio airing their conversation live. Which would be impossible considering that type of old school handheld receiver requires a human finger depressed over the button to talk.

Hart of Dixie (2011)

Kablang - S4-E1

Revealing mistake: After their intimate night together, Wade goes for more, but Zoe tells him she wants breakfast first. As he crawls out from the sheets, you can see the lining of his white underwear.

Grease (1978)

Other mistake: At the dance, students are still arriving as the band starts to set up. A moment later, the MC announces over the mic that Johnny Casino and the Gamblers will get things warmed up, and then music starts, which is not possible with the band just setting up.

The Goldbergs (2013)

Continuity mistake: When the Wicked Witch leans down to see the ruby slippers sticking out from under the house, she is pointing down at them, and practically touches them. But in the subsequent shots, she is in her standing spot from prior, pointing between Dorothy and the house.

Pretty Much Dead Already - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: When Shane lets loose on the gang at the barn about the two walkers Hershel and Rick just brought out from the woods, he fires several shots into the female walker's torso, as he screams at Rick about them not being human. Then subsequently fires two shots at her head. Yet she is still moving when she should have dropped. As ANY blow to the brain kills instantly. But she doesn't drop until Shane dramatically moves right up to her and shoots her in the forehead.

Suggested correction: Those two shots were actually into the torso. He fired three into the torso, paused, two more into the heart and lungs, paused, then two more into the torso before he put one in the head.
