The Villain (1979)

The Villain mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During Cactus Jack's first trap failure while he's under Handsome's wagon, Jack loses his cowboy boots and pants. The camera follows the insane stretching suspenders, and when it cuts to Cactus Jack in his red long johns, the black booties for the stunt are visible at his feet/ankles; then next wide shot, that footgear is gone. Additionally, as Cactus Jack gets pulled toward his pants, it appears that he slides past his pants in the long shot, but is successful in the next close-up. (00:33:00)

Revealing mistake: At the Tower of the Serpent, after Conan and Subotai steal the Eye of the Serpent and also kill Doom's giant pet snake, Conan and Subotai make their escape; and when Valeria grabs the rope for her own escape, we can see the stunt cable used to lift her (I'm providing my own screenshots for my mistake).

Revealing mistake: At the start, while Jo and her parents are inside their storm cellar, Jo's father attempts to hold down the overhead cellar door during the tornado. Then, just as the F5 yanks the cellar door up along with Mr. Thornton, we can see the cable link that is attached between the actor's back and the cellar door, for this stunt. (00:04:20)

Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise mistake picture

Revealing mistake: While Suit is in a coma, there's a closeup of the monitor beside his bed showing Suit's vitals, and at the top of the monitor's screen are the words "adult simulating," with the timed "simulating" flashing off and on. There's also a strip of narrow filament tape covering "simulating," but the tape is transparent, so we can still see it flashing. (01:17:25)

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

The Wizard of Oz mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During some scenes, straw-stuffed Scarecrow's pant legs and his boots would sometimes have a gap that reveals the skin of Ray Bolger's leg. Two examples are, at Emerald City when Scarecrow places Lion's "cape" on him, and also when Dorothy and her friends are told the Wizard says to go away. (01:05:50 - 01:07:25)

Confessions, Confessions - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: At the start of dinner, in the wide shots we can see the table and chairs directly on the carpet. When Carol notices the leaky vase and calls for Alice, in the wide shot as Alice approaches the table, now there's plastic sheeting spread across the carpet under the table, as well some visible tubing under the table, presumably for the water stunt. (00:05:45 - 00:08:15)
