Nurse's Wild - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: When Gage and DeSoto are on scene with the unconscious woman and a dog, they break the front window of the house. In the interior shot as DeSoto climbs through the window, there is a white wall beside the window outside, which blocks the view of the "outside." That wall does not exist in the exterior shots. The same thing happens when Gage opens the front door.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Revealing mistake: At the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar, upon finding Jetfire, Wheelie turns and says, "This guy's a legend," and then later Wheelie turns and says, "I tell you, this guy did not age well." These specific CGI frames of Wheelie are the very same frames, and only the background plates (with and without Jetfire) differ. (01:22:40 - 01:23:40)

Jaws (1975)
Revealing mistake: When Hooper is in the cage the regulator hose is to Hooper's right (viewer's left when facing him). However, when the shark first appears and passes Hooper, in the shot facing him the hose is now to Hooper's left (viewer's right), and the word "repeater" on the poison shark dart is also backwards. This is a flipped shot. (01:53:30)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Revealing mistake: When Sam is standing on the stairs with his hands up, just before Megatron grabs him and throws him onto the table for the 'Doctor', the rail and balusters in front of Sam have been set up to easily break for the stunt - note the short diagonal bits of wood propped up between them, precisely where they break for the grab.
