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.

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.

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.

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.

Continuity mistake: Near the end, Jake hides in a dog crate. The dog runs out of the plane, and the baggage guys chase after it. While this is happening, a bag is coming down the conveyor belt. Between the first shot and the next angle, the bag jumps backwards.

Factual error: Eddie drops Jake off near Madison, Wisconsin after he realises Jake just wants Allie back. Minutes before this, the background in the vehicle shots shown is in the mountains. Wisconsin, especially that part of the state, doesn't have mountains. Nearly the entire film was shot in British Columbia.

The Bishop's Wife (1947)

Continuity mistake: In the taxi, they almost hit a large truck coming toward them. Cary Grant taps the driver on the shoulder, and they miss it. The very next shot has the rear window of the car in it. The truck has disappeared.

Visible crew/equipment: The camera is reflected in the glass of the gas station after the woman calls the cops on the killer. It's visible on the right side before the shot cuts.

Twisters (2024)

Visible crew/equipment: At the rodeo, just as the tornado comes, there is a shot panning across some equipment that ends with the guy shouting into the microphone for people to evacuate. As it's panning across the equipment, it's casting shadows on it.

Hocus Pocus (1993)

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, right before the witches turn the boy into the cat, watch the girl in the chair. She's supposed to be dead because the witches sucked her life force out. She moves her knees. There are two mistakes in this scene. Not only is the dead girl moving her knees, the sheet covering them goes from being between her legs to completely straight.

The Mighty Ducks (1992)

Other mistake: During the sequence when we first see Fulton, he grabs the bullies and throws them down. As he's doing this, there is a fraction of a second where the picture goes black. The sound persists. It's fast, but very easy to see. This is on the Disney+ version of the film.

The Mighty Ducks (1992)

Audio problem: During the first hockey game, two players almost get in a fight, and the ref pulls them apart. He says something, but his mouth doesn't match what he says.

Cl2 - S5-E3

Other mistake: The boy stuck in the train car has a very cracked screen on his phone, but when we see video from the phone from his brother's side, the picture from the camera is immaculate.

The Faculty (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Nurse Harper comes into the faculty lounge and is talking about pills, watch Coach Willis's hand. He starts to raise his hand to drink water, and we never see him lower it. The shot cuts to an angle through the slats in the closet. He repeats the action.

The Faculty (1998)

Other mistake: About 18 minutes in, the new girl from Atlanta is hearing who Stokely is from Delilah. Right as the angle is about to change, looking at Stokely, there is a weird out-of-place zoom.

Police Story (1985)

Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning, at the start of the big car chase down the hill, there is a guy blocking another guy's vehicle. The blocking car is red and backs up before turning onto another road. The reflection of the entire camera crew is visible in the side of the red car.

Mad Max (1979)

Visible crew/equipment: About half an hour into the film, following the scene where the two people are rescued, there is a shot of a guy stopping on a motorcycle. He tells a man, "Johnny, the boy has done it again." Right as the camera is tracking across his bike, the head of the camera operator casts a shadow on it. (00:30:50)
