Visible crew/equipment: During the parade, Gerard motions for the other guy on his team to stay to the right. There are a couple of shots of the parade, followed by the one where Gerard looks over the green wall. As this is happening, the camera is moving to the left. Look in the windows of the building. You can briefly see it pass.

Vegas Vacation (1997)
Factual error: Near the beginning, it's clear we're in Chicago because we're hearing a Chicago radio station. Clark turns the corner before nearly running into people in the road. You can see mountains in the background very briefly. The Griswold house was one of the properties on the Warner Brothers Ranch in Burbank, California which has since been demolished.

Continuity mistake: At the gas station, Thelma and Ben are talking to random people Thelma thinks she knows. Meanwhile, her family is on the way there.

Toy Soldiers (1991)
Plot hole: When the military says they're going in, they ask how Billy got off campus through a pipe. Earlier when Billy goes through the pipe he's immediately met by two soldiers in ghillie suits. You mean to tell me the soldiers that meet Billy wouldn't know how to get through a pipe? The military is incompetent in this film but come on.

Audio problem: After Wesley rescues Princess Buttercup from Vizzini, he takes her up on a windy mountain and they talk. In one angle, Wesley is talking and wind noise can be heard during his vocals. It never happens again during the shot although all shots in this sequence are windy.

Twister (1996)
Other mistake: Less than a few minutes into the film, there is a shot of a dark sky looking through a barbed wire fence with yellow wildflowers at the bottom of the frame. The flowers start blowing in the wind, and then snap back to the beginning of the shot. Just before the shot cuts, the wildflowers move again, repeating the action earlier. The shot is looped.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Revealing mistake: When Indy is clinging to the side of the tank turret in the desert, to the right of the tank are tire tracks from the vehicle shooting the scene. They appear to just start at a set point. There was likely no way to hide this.
Suggested correction: There's no obvious moment in the film where tire tracks are visible while he's clinging to the side. A specific time or shot description is needed.
