The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: While Cindy and Ben are going through Colonel Brunson's belongings Cindy finds the Adoption Decree, and begins reading it. The funny thing is there's a closeup of the document, and it's apparent that it's actually a studio contract. Even without pausing we can read things such as: "Use of Double," "Location Expenses" or "Damage to Wardrobe." Though if it's paused we can read entire lines such as: "Location Expenses: Where the services of the Artist are required to be performed outside of the City of Los Angeles or its environs, the Producer shall transport the Artist and the reasonable personal baggage of the Artist..."

Revealing mistake: While Erin and Paul are driving to his home, when Paul tells Erin that he lives about half an hour up the road, from this moment until the end of this scene we can see the edge of the rear projection screen, at the left side of the screen. (00:31:50)

Charmed (1998)
Revealing mistake: While Piper is trying to convince Paige to be at P3 for speed dating, Piper says, "I will resort to whatever I have to, besides you might actually meet someone you like," and after the quick shot of Paige, when it cuts to Leo holding Chris as he's standing in the doorway asking for baby Tylenol, the mirror's glass is green at the right side of the screen - for the special effects editing of the fake reflection. (00:04:40)

Carpe Demon - S7-E14

Revealing mistake: During the search for the Dragon and teenage Prue, Phoebe's wearing a red top and red jacket, but when Phoebe lands on the ground we can see the bulky beige material of the stunt vest at her back, under the red top and jacket. (00:34:05)

Casino (1995)
Revealing mistake: Near the end when Ace gets into his Cadillac, in the first shot facing the front of the car, there is a protective glass in front of Ace (the same width as the windshield) with the dashboard in between that glass and the windshield. Note the vertical edge of the glass is visible at the right side, and the rearview mirror's sticker on the windshield casts a shadow onto the second glass. During the stunt, the flames on the dashboard are between the glass shield and the windshield, keeping the actor safe from harm. (02:46:05)

Andi Mack (2017)

Gilmore Girls (2000)
Revealing mistake: While Rory and Lorelai are in the kitchen, in a few closeups of Rory we see the refrigerator and counter area with the microwave, etc. behind Rory, but when Lorelai is at the back door about to join Luke, part of the set beside the refrigerator is gone. (00:04:15)

The Greatest Showman (2017)
Revealing mistake: While Barnum and Phillip are singing "The Other Side" Phillip knocks over the first stool then steps on its side, and in this closeup we can see the extra two flat bars attached between the legs, for him to easily step on. We also see that the stool's seat is perfectly round in the closeup, but in previous and following shots, such as when Carlyle jumps off the bar then grabs his hat, one side of the seat has been cut to allow it to rest flat on the floor while on its side. Presumably, the closeup was digitally edited to make the seat appear round. (00:38:05)

Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
Revealing mistake: When Neil is in the raft with the boys talking about wanting Victor back, just as Neil climbs into the water we can see the safety cable attached to the back end of the raft. (00:38:30)
15th Aug 2018
Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
Revealing mistake: At the start, when the girls in the bunk are standing in front of the mirror, the first shot of them looks as if the camera is facing the mirror and we're seeing their reflection, but note that neither the buttons on Alexa's blouse nor her white bracelet are on the opposite side. The "mirror" is actually regular glass with the girls standing behind the glass to mimic a reflection, though Alexa's blouse and bracelet reveal the secret. (00:03:05)

Revealing mistake: While Lucy and Vivian are on the boat we can see the two long tracks on the floor in the boat's galley, so when Viv falls asleep in the chair she brought from home, the chair legs are able to keep gliding along the tracks on the floor from one side to the other. (00:19:45)
