Deliberate mistake: Lou and Eddie are driving Bart around in the cop car. Bart asks when they're going to shoot people. The shot cuts to Lou, who is driving. The entire frame of the car disappears around him and it's just him superimposed over a background. The shot cuts again and the frame is now visible. Even if it was a low-angle shot, you'd still see the roof of the car.

What We Do in the Shadows (2019)
Urgent Care - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: Guillermo is lying on a table in the hospital and wearing a dress. Nadja comes in, trying to get him out of there. While she is talking to him, he sits up a bit and starts playing with the bottom of his shirt. The shot cuts, and now he is lying flat on the table again.

Starship Troopers (1997)
Trivia: A significant amount of the movie was shot at Hell's Half Acre, 45 minutes west of Casper, Wyoming. This substituted as the Bug planets, in particular Planet P. Some local residents of Casper were extras in the film. The crew faced difficulties with filming in Wyoming, particularly weather-related issues. At times, the area experienced high temperatures during the day, causing some actors to suffer heat strokes. At night, the temperatures would drop significantly, or it would snow.

Richie Rich (1994)
Revealing mistake: Near the end, there is a scene of the bad guy hanging upside down on Mt. Richmore. In the top left is an odd line going through the shot. It looks like the background (the out-of-focus house) is placed behind the man and poorly blended with the shot. Incredibly obvious on the Netflix version. (01:28:17)

Groundhog Day (1993)
Revealing mistake: When the truck goes over the quarry, it's empty.

Thelma and Louise (1991)
Factual error: When they're trying to head to Mexico, they pass the same rock formations several times. Specifically, earlier in the drive, the formations are in the scene where they mention the Rocky Mountains. The same formations can be seen later when they get pulled over by the cop. It's like they're driving in circles. Part of the film was shot outside of Moab, Utah, near Arches National Park. (01:34:19 - 01:41:30)

Thelma and Louise (1991)
Revealing mistake: Near the end, as they are chasing the girls, the cops turn around on the freeway into the dirt median. They follow exact tyre tracks from previous takes.

Thelma and Louise (1991)
Audio problem: Right after the girls blow up the tanker, there is a sequence with scanner traffic. They show some helicopters. Right at the beginning of the scene with the choppers, the audio of them cuts out for a split second.

Thelma and Louise (1991)
Revealing mistake: When they blow up the tanker and drive in circles around the truck driver, the ground has been disturbed from previous takes.

Land (2021)
Visible crew/equipment: When Edee is driving up to the cabin for the first time, just before they get there, there are a couple of shots looking through the windshield showing her looking out. A couple of the shots have a shadow of the top of the camera very visible. You can see the mic antenna on it.

Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: When Jack is trying to catch up to the bus in Tuneman's car, the sun changes several times. In most angles, it's to their right. At one point, it is behind them. Then, it's above them.
2nd Jan 2025
Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: Jack is lying on his horn trying to get onto the onramp. This is right before he drives past Tuneman. He is lying on the horn, and yet both of his hands are on the wheel.

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
Audio problem: Near the beginning of the film, when the sheriffs are chasing Kya, she takes her boat through some trees. The main sheriff says "in there," or something similar. His mouth doesn't match what he is saying.
29th Dec 2024
D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996)
Factual error: Near the beginning when the Ducks are late for the ceremony at the school, they're rollerblading around Minneapolis. In one short moment, they're rollerblading around Minnehaha Falls, which is in Minneapolis (the scene where Goldberg goes down the stairs). The next, they are skating down Ramsey Avenue in St. Paul (the scene just before they are forced to jump over the rail). That's a distance of nearly 5 miles. This is within the space of seconds.

A Christmas Story (1983)
Continuity mistake: After the old man plugs the lamp in and starts to admire it, Ralphie is looking up at it. Cut to the other angle where we can see his face, and he is now looking down.

Dogma (1999)
Revealing mistake: Bethany gets upset about finding out she's related to Jesus and goes in the water to scream at God. Metatron is instantly there. He walks across the water. You can see the supports underwater that he is standing on. Look to the left of him.
26th Dec 2024
Dogma (1999)
Visible crew/equipment: When Loki kills the guy on the bus committing adultery, the camera pushes in on him before he pulls the trigger. As it is doing this, the shadow of the camera is visible on the left side. It's clear enough; you can see the clear shadow of the camera hood.
24th Dec 2024
Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
Deliberate mistake: Near the end, after the case is dismissed, people are celebrating, and we see a reporter talking, with snow flying around him. Cut to another shot of people watching a television. The snow has disappeared from the reporter's shot. It's likely that, since the snow was added in post, the filmmakers forgot to include it in that one shot.
23rd Dec 2024
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Revealing mistake: Near the beginning, there is a Muppet sitting on the edge of a building with a large cup in its hand. As it raises the cup, a wire is visible, aiding the raising.
