Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: After Jack discovers the camera, we see what the camera is seeing in Howard's apartment on the screen. Where is Jack? He was just standing next to Annie. He should be front and center in the shot but he is nowhere to be found. The shot is wide enough that even if he was leaning out the door we'd still see him. When we see the monitor again later, he is there.

Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Jack is under the bus there is a shot from the driver's side that shows the vehicle pacing the bus. The two people that were standing on that vehicle are gone. They are back the next time we see it (when the bolt snaps).

Audio problem: Annie is driving the wrong way down the street hitting cars. She starts mouthing "oh shit" but the audio suggests otherwise. She says "oh jeez."

Pet Sematary (1989)

Revealing mistake: When the mother gets into an accident after her tire blows, the ghost shows up. It is floating above her car. Notice the seam where the ghost is on the car. When the scene shakes slightly, the ghost shakes too indicating it was a poorly superimposed shot.

Pet Sematary (1989)

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning, a little girl does a somersault and her hat falls off. In the next shot as she's running, she has her hat back on.

Highway to Heaven (1984)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: While it is true, during opening sequence, Jonathan is walking in desert. When the camera shifts to Mark, it is implied that much time has passed by the time Mark comes upon the pedestrian, Jonathan, who by this time is coming into hill country, soon to become mountain country.

Continuity mistake: At the end when Ryan brings the wounded sergeant to the other side of the bridge, Reiben starts to make his turn to provide covering fire for the Captain. He repeats the exact same movement two shots later.

Poltergeist (1982)

Revealing mistake: When Diane is on the ceiling, a piece of something white falls right in front of her, landing on the ceiling. This shows the set was upside down and she was actually on the floor. The scene was shot on a rotating stage but the little piece that falls gives away the effect.

Poltergeist (1982)

Revealing mistake: Diane runs back from the neighbor's house and falls into the pool. You can see where she is going to fall and she runs right to that spot. It looks like they did multiple takes.

Poltergeist (1982)

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end when Diane is reaching for the kids and trying to get them out to the hallway, a film light is blatantly visible behind her. Also during the same scene the shadow of a fan can be seen in the hallway.

Factual error: Near the end of the film there is a shot of the FBI helicopters turning. Mountains are visible in the background. This film is supposed to take place on the east coast. There are no mountains that tall on the east coast.

Revealing mistake: When the water is pushing the truck in the aqueduct, one scene shows McClane on top of it. The truck and McClane are a different color indicating they were superimposed into the shot.

Boxing - S1-E5

Audio problem: The kids are sitting across from an older couple in a diner. The older woman is talking about her husband. The scene cuts to a shot behind the old woman. Her mouth isn't moving but she is talking.
