The Simpsons Movie mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the wide overhead shots as the crowd starts gathering at the dome edge and when Russ Cargill's image appears, note the homes on the third block at the far left side of the screen, which change when Cargill says, "Believe me it's the last thing we wanted to do."

Jurassic Park (1993)

Jurassic Park mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Gennaro runs off to hide in the restroom there's a shot of the fence cables ripping apart, and in the following shot of the back of one of the Explorers note that it's missing its black roof vent (and rear wiper), but in following shots of Explorers 4 and 5 the vents are intact on both vehicles. Then just as the T. Rex starts pushing Explorer 4 upside-down its roof vent is gone (presumably, the vehicle missing the vent is a stunt vehicle).

Jurassic Park mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When both Explorer vehicles are parked at the paddock, in the shot of the goat being raised to lure the T. Rex, the "No! Feeding..." sign is permanently affixed to the front of the concrete wall, but in the previous and following shots that same sign is affixed to the angled top part of the wall. Later, when the power goes out, that sign is once again affixed to the front of the concrete wall.

Continuity mistake: When Tim and Lex first arrive, Lex is wearing a purple tank top with a colorful design, and in the following scenes or even between consecutive shots her tank top changes to completely different designs, though it's the same style of tank top.

Jurassic Park (1993)

Jurassic Park mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After the T. Rex rolls Explorer 4 upside-down with Lex and Tim inside, in the closeup when the dinosaur bites on the rubber tire we see the hub hole at the center of the wheel rim, but two shots later the wheel cover is back on the wheel.

Jurassic Park (1993)

Jurassic Park mistake picture

Continuity mistake: While Lex and Tim are hiding in the kitchen, when the large serving spoon falls it cuts to the closeup of the two Velociraptors and the tall shelving unit has vanished, but in the next shot when the one of the raptors leaps onto the counter that tall shelving unit is back.

Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are on the roof attempting to fix the shingles, Homer's wearing a tool belt around his waist with assorted tools, but when Homer shakes the antenna his tool belt has vanished (Homer's belly cannot hide that tool belt), but it reappears when Bart's hanging onto the gutter.

Continuity mistake: When Marge is in the kitchen with Grampa wondering what "a thousand eyes" can be, over the telephone there's a notepad with writing hanging from a clip, but when Homer walks in with the pig the notepad is hanging from a string and the writing has disappeared, but then it switches back again.

Continuity mistake: After the mob knocks down the front door Krusty tells Teeny to, "Take out the baby," and when Maggie breaks her bottle to take on Teeny, the monkey is standing on the fallen door, but in the next closeup he's standing on the floor beside the door.

Continuity mistake: When Marge is in the kitchen trying to figure out the meaning of "a thousand eyes", behind Grampa there are three spoons hanging from hooks, but when Marge tells Homer that the warning in church was about the pig, the spoons have vanished and instead there are three cups hanging in their place.

Continuity mistake: At church, seated in the pew behind the Simpsons are Moe and Kirk, and in the pew behind Moe and Kirk are Disco Stu, Professor Frink, and six other people, but just as Grampa shouts, "Trapped forever," in this one shot that entire pew with Disco Stu, the Professor, and all the other people has vanished, but then the pew reappears.

Continuity mistake: While Bart watches from the tree, Homer brushes the pig's hair and carries the animal out of the room, then Bart turns to see Ned tucking his kids in bed, and when Bart turns toward Homer again the lower window has a center muntin bar, but when Bart aims his slingshot at Homer that muntin bar has vanished.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial mistake picture

Continuity mistake: While Elliott and ET are saying goodbye, in the original 1982 version in the shot facing Elliott, ET lifts his right hand to point his finger at Elliott's forehead and ET's finger glows (note the weird angle of ET's raised right hand), but in the next shot facing ET when he says the iconic words, "I'll be right here," it's actually ET's left hand up by Elliott's face. This was digitally corrected in the 2002 version, so that in the first shot ET lifts up his left hand.

Toy Story (1995)

Toy Story mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When Woody grabs hold of Buzz and uses his "karate chop action" while they walk backwards to the open door, as Woody says, "Sorry guys, dinner's canceled," in the wideshot of all of Sid's toys pay attention to the chair and table at the right side of the screen. What we're supposed to be seeing is the swivel chair with four legs/wheels (and the red toolbox resting on the seat) that's positioned in front of the table's angled wood two-by-four legs. But we don't see that. What we do see is the swivel chair and table all blended together - the seat and legs of the chair are somehow behind both sets of table legs and the chair's backrest is in front of the table, which doesn't make any sense.

Doctor Who (2005)

Doctor Who mistake picture

The Pilot - S10-E2

Other mistake: After the Doctor tells Bill that Heather's face isn't symmetrical, when he and Bill look into the "puddle" together the Doctor explains that instead of seeing her normal backwards reflection, she's seeing her face "the right way round." The problem occurs in the next shot of the Doctor and Bill seen in the puddle, because the "WOW!" patch on Bill's jacket is properly where it should be, but note everything else is actually backwards. Things such as Bill's color-block top and her denim jacket buttons are on the opposite way. Also note the Doctor's ring has switched hands. Presumably this shot was edited, and the "WOW!" patch was blurred on the left of Bill's jacket then digitally added to the right side, to give the appearance that it's "the right way round" as the Doctor said.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Spider-Man 3 mistake picture

Factual error: During the fight scene with Sandman in the armored car, the Terminal Tower can be seen in the background, which is a landmark in Cleveland, Ohio (where the scene was shot), not in New York City.

The Andy Griffith Show mistake picture

The Big House - S3-E32

Continuity mistake: When Gomer drops the gun from the roof it lands on the ground directly in front of Andy and Barney, who are standing on the sidewalk beside the courthouse, but the area where they're standing looks different between the overhead shots and closeups, and their shadows change as well. Additionally, the gun lands with its handle to the left, but in the wideshot the gun is lying the opposite way, with its handle to the right.

The Andy Griffith Show mistake picture

The Guitar Player - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: While Andy and Barney are standing beside Bobby Fleet's vehicle, Andy mentions that it's too bad they're all not staying overnight so they could hear Jim play, and when it cuts to the next shot we can see the reflection of the overhead boom pole and mic moving on the surface of the vehicle.
