Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, the bouquet of flowers that the dragon has in its mouth switches sides. At first it's on the same side as donkey, then jumps to the other side in the wide shot.

Vegas Vacation (1997)
Visible crew/equipment: When Christie Brinkley is keeping pace with Clark in her sports car, the camera vehicle is reflected in the passenger side window of her car. It's not the Griswold's minivan.

The Fugitive (1993)
Visible crew/equipment: The camera filming the wide shot of the press conference with the US Marshals and Chicago PD blends in with the rest of the camera crews there doing the conference. It is blatantly visible behind everyone asking questions. The angle from this camera is used at least twice. You can identify it by its film magazine. Almost all news organizations in the 1990s used video tape as opposed to film, so a film camera used during a press conference would and does stick out like a sore thumb.

Ozark (2017)
Let the Great World Spin - S4-E2
Visible crew/equipment: Marty visits the FBI agent at her home. The camera starts far away from them in another room, and pushes in through the door frame. On the left side of the frame, the camera's shadow becomes very obvious as the shot moves.

Deadpool 2 (2018)
Revealing mistake: Near the end when the orphans are exiting the building in the bus, you can tell they practised the sliding part. There are marks in the roof of the bus from previous takes.

Visible crew/equipment: At the tree lot when the drug dealer grabs Riggs, the shadow of the camera is visible on his chest.

The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
Trivia: Laura Linney's police radio is tuned to channel 37. She would've been the 37th victim of the bridge collapse had she not been saved.

9-1-1: Lone Star (2020)
Continuity mistake: When TK is trying to break the ice above the boy, in one angle, the ice is moving. From then on, it is solid again.
31st Jan 2022

Visible crew/equipment: Right before Munro is attacked by Magua and killed, there is a shot of a soldier falling right toward the camera. The shadow of the camera becomes very obvious on him.

March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934)
Continuity mistake: When Tom is on trial, the large crowd is there to witness. Barnaby is there, thinking he got away with his ploy. There is a man standing next to Barnaby who disappears from the wide shot and reappears in the closeups.
22nd Jan 2022
The Truman Show (1998)
Visible crew/equipment: Right as Truman is leaving to go to Fiji in the sedan, he backs out of the driveway. The shot is a camera attached to the rear of the vehicle. The rig is reflected in the bumper on both sides of the license plate.

Wild America (1997)
Revealing mistake: The bats coming through the cave mostly appear to be rubber or plastic as they fall the first time. You can tell as some just fall down to the ground and don't fly. They switch to computer generated after that.

Wild America (1997)
Revealing mistake: The bears turn their heads at the cave to a sound, and both are standing on their hind legs. They both are people in suits. They look incredibly fake.

The Enforcer (1976)
Continuity mistake: When they're demonstrating the LAW rocket, Callahan's new female partner is standing behind the instructor. He pulls her away before the rocket fires. The angle cuts, and she's back closer to the instructor again. If she was standing where she was the second time, she would've been hit by the exhaust (which is why he pulls her away).

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Continuity mistake: When Violet is leaving for New York, right before she says "I'm glad I know you George", the scene cuts. This is the same camera angle as before so the scene appears to be an edit splice. The jump cut is obvious. The reason for the rough edit is that a short sequence was cut where Violet asks George to run away with her to New York. It doesn't excuse the jump, but does help explain it.

Batman and Robin (1997)
Audio problem: When the telescope is falling and the two people are with Batman, he tells them to grab onto his belt. The audio is terribly clipped.
7th Jan 2022
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Revealing mistake: As the ghost of Christmas present is finishing "It feels like Christmas", the camera starts to crane up. Look to the far right. The forced perspective effect starts to become noticeable with the background row of buildings. There are people that are slowly walking down that street and you can tell they don't get smaller as they should. Director Brian Henson said they were hoping people wouldn't notice the error.

9-1-1 (2018)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the oil spray pattern cleans itself from the firefighters' face shields in the span of a few cuts.
