Die Hard 2 (1990)
Revealing mistake: McClane jumps out of the helicopter at the end and lands on the wing of the larger airplane. The stunt man who does this then proceeds to move up to a long wire on the side of the wing. Any normal airplane would not have a long wire on the wing.

Die Hard 2 (1990)
Audio problem: John is on the wing of the plane, questioning why he is there. His mouth isn't moving with what he is saying.

Die Hard 2 (1990)
Factual error: In the tower, Leslie Barnes and a few men are talking about the Annex Skywalk, mentioning that it is a "VHF System." Barnes says the planes are so close it won't matter. VHF, or Very High Frequency, transmits far distances, hence why it is used by airports around the world. He should have said "UHF", which transmits shorter distances, as that would make more sense.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Visible crew/equipment: After disabling the guards, Damon and Clooney go to open the vault. The camera's reflection can be seen on the vault door as the shot pulls back. You can also see the crew member operating it.

The Walking Dead (2010)
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the garage near the beginning of the episode where the characters are gathering supplies, the sun is on them in one shot. In the reverse shot, they are dark and the sun is no longer shining into the garage. Then back to them, it is again.

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001)
Audio problem: The federal agents from various agencies show up and basically prevent the townspeople from killing graboids, and they're arguing with Burt about it. One of the government agents yells something, and it is loud enough to clip the audio (distortion).

The Graduate (1967)
Audio problem: When Ben and Elaine go on their first date, they're driving really fast in his car and talking. When each of them talks, the wind noise is evident in the audio. This means they used the original audio on scene, instead of replacing it later (known as ADR). The cuts in the audio here are very noticeable.

Starman (1984)
Continuity mistake: The weather changes at least twice during the end sequence at Meteor Crater. Take a look at the clouds in the background of all of the shots, especially those looking at the San Francisco Peaks (near Flagstaff, AZ). The extreme long shots of the helicopters coming show dark clouds, while the wide shots show a mix of cloud free and then cloudy skies.

Quantum Leap (1989)
A Song for the Soul - April 7, 1963 - S4-E15
Revealing mistake: When Al jumps into the shot out of nowhere on the steps after the record producer leaves, Sam and the two girls abruptly move, giving away the technique to achieve Al showing up. The transition is usually smoother, this one happens to be rough and noticeable.

The Walking Dead (2010)
Continuity mistake: Sasha is pinned by the walker, but saved by Michonne. As she is standing up, the leaves in her hair disappear between shots.
14th Oct 2015
The Walking Dead (2010)
Visible crew/equipment: When Sam comes to visit Carol with items in his hand, he walks through the front door of the house. Carol shuts the door after she lets him inside. As she does this, you can see the reflection of a black sheet or tarp of some kind covering the door area where the camera reflection would be.
14th Oct 2015
The Walking Dead (2010)
Revealing mistake: After it starts raining there is a shot looking at the road in The Distance. Notice how the rain is only falling in a small area and stops just beyond where the group is at. The road is dry from there on out.
11th Oct 2015
Fear the Walking Dead (2015)
Audio problem: In the house as the walker is shot nearly point blank, the sound of the shotgun goes off before the flash.

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Continuity mistake: Bond is fighting henchmen up on a moving platform at the newspaper. During the fight with the first guy, in several shots the platform isn't moving, then it is, then it isn't.
1st Sep 2015
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Continuity mistake: After Bond is done "meeting" with Paris, she puts her dress back on, including two straps for her shoulders. They disappear in the next shot, and never reappear.
24th Aug 2015

Visible crew/equipment: When Darryl first discovers the large TV, it is off and you can see his reflection in it. The camera starts to track backwards and you can see movement on the couch. A shadow changes, that of the camera operator.
