Deliberate mistake: When Cindy is talking to the killer on the phone, and he says, "I could be anywhere. I'm like the wind, baby," she walks into the living-room. Notice the wall behind the couch, it is completely different a moment later. When the killer hides behind the curtains, the wall behind the couch has large bay windows with seating underneath. Then when the killer is at her house the second time, all the windows are gone during the Matrix send-up, so Cindy can run along that wall.

Deliberate mistake: After the heist, when Taylor and Andrea are told they have only three minutes to the end of the show, there is an overhead shot of them on the zip line that is flipped.

27th Dec 2012
Deliberate mistake: As Kelly begins to make her way across the zip line over the audience, the overhead shot looking down at her is a flipped shot. Note that her watch is now on her right wrist, whereas in the previous and following shots its on her left wrist. (01:16:15)
27th Dec 2012
Deliberate mistake: When Annabelle uses her hockey stick to send her cell flying, the shot of the cell spinning in midair is a flipped shot. Note the board with name plaques behind the bust is backwards, and the glass amnesty box (for contraband) is now to the left instead of right. (00:11:40)

26th May 2010
Deliberate mistake: At the corner of the roof, Sam clutches the statue as he protects the All Spark from Megatron, who then destroys the statue causing Sam to fall. In the overhead shot of Sam falling, as the chopper flies by, we see the All Spark leave Sam's grip and actually fall behind him. Yet, in the next close-up the All Spark is safely held in Sam's arm again. (02:06:50)
11th Mar 2010
Deliberate mistake: After Burser blows the whistle to begin the hockey game, Verity knocks him out with her hockey stick. The next close-up of Miss Dickinson and Miss Cleaver is a flipped shot, note Miss Dickinson's hair part and Miss Cleaver's red patch on the wrong sleeve. (00:26:50)
10th Mar 2010
Deliberate mistake: At the start of the hockey game against Cheltenham, after the close-up of Janey sharpening her hockey stick, when Bursar says, "Okay, yeah, into position," his close-up is a flipped shot. Note his shirt's pocket and logo. (00:26:35)

Deliberate mistake: After Bert is shot in his car, Bobby pulls up beside him and just after Bobby shouts, "Pop, pull over!" the first time, the next tight close-up of Bobby's face is a flipped shot. Note his earring and the scar on his upper lip have switched sides. (01:17:00)
24th Feb 2009
Deliberate mistake: Troy and Chad drive into Riley's Auto Salvage and park the truck beside the trailer office (which Riley steps out of), near a tow truck. During "Boys Are Back", just after the shot with the female silhouette and the line "Save the girl," in the next shot Chad and Troy run past the trailer office, but Troy's truck has vanished. No worries, because the truck is back beside the tow truck after the song. (00:56:50)
2nd Nov 2008
Deliberate mistake: At graduation, after Troy is handed the diploma, in the overhead shot the graduates on the left and right stand-up from their seats, then turn and walk towards each other. All their seats simply disappear between shots. Obviously done deliberately for the dance sequence, but a mistake nonetheless.
31st Aug 2008
Deliberate mistake: In the lab, when Eddie is riding his motorcycle on the upper level in the wideshots, the stunt double is rather obvious despite the added padding, due to his slimmer face and non-chunky arms.
16th Jun 2008
Deliberate mistake: After the broken suspender clasp smacks Gerry in the face, in the close-up it lands under the dresser, within the wide strip of light reflection. In all other shots the entire area beneath the dresser is in shadow. (00:11:00)
23rd May 2008
Deliberate mistake: At the station, Gage is washing dishes and talking about his idea for a new poker game. In this shot the camera is positioned behind the kitchen's top/lower cabinets and sink, facing Gage. The fact that we can see the back side of the cabinetry (paper towel dispenser which hangs over sink is gone) ruins the illusion of this POV from the wall that should be there.
23rd Dec 2007

18th Jun 2007

5th Feb 2007
Deliberate mistake: After Frodo puts on the Ring at Mount Doom, when the Nazgûl fly away from the Black Gate, the next close-up of Gandalf's reaction is actually a flipped shot - the wizard's smudges are on the opposite side of his face.
12th Jan 2007
