Revealing mistake: When Farva goes to type in the license plate of the cop car, "TC150," he doesn't type the plate number into the computer but rather a few keys along the bottom row instead.

The Crazies (2010)
Revealing mistake: When the deputy throws the spike strip across the road in front of the black suburban, as it's flipping through the air, you can see the hole they launch the post from underneath the vehicle that helps to it into a roll.

The Crazies (2010)
Revealing mistake: At the end scene when the Sheriff is escaping in the truck away from the nuclear blast, the truck begins to flip through the air. While it is flipping we see under the vehicle and can see the hole they use to launch a post to help flip the vehicle for the stunt. A brief puff of white smoke also emanates from that hole briefly during the flip.

Kindergarten Cop (1990)
Revealing mistake: In the fire scene at the end when Dominic first gets separated from Det. Kimble as he's helping the little girl, we see his hands around a stuffed ferret and not the real one he put in his sweater earlier.

Kindergarten Cop (1990)
Revealing mistake: In the shot where Dominic is falling from the radio tower from afar, he supposedly gets hung up by his backpack. However the lack of tension on the straps indicate that something else kept him from falling. We see the proper tension on the backpack when the scenes change to an up close shot.

Men in Black II (2002)
Revealing mistake: When Agent Jay is in the yellow tent with Serleena's tiny ship, the view back at HQ shows a shot from a distance behind the ship of Jay holding the communicator he's supposed to be transmitting the video from.

Dante's Peak (1997)
Revealing mistake: When the group is first leaving shore in the boat in the acid lake with the cabin behind them on fire, the angle of the river behind them compared to the shore line doesn't match and moves independently showing how they matted the two different scenes together.

Elf (2003)
Revealing mistake: When Buddy is in the mailroom dancing on the table, you can see the sides of his pants flare out around the hips to see the outline of the harness used when he's low to the ground during some of the dance moves.

All About Steve (2009)
Revealing mistake: During the distant shot when Mary, the reporter and little girl are first coming up out of the hole, the cable going back down into the hole is barely taut and moving around too freely to actually be pulling that much weight up even for a steel cable.

Land of the Lost (2009)
Revealing mistake: Throughout the movie closeups of Enik's eyes reflect the lights and set around him that aren't part of the movie. During the scene when he's talking to Dr. Marshall about how the crystal controls the sleestack, you can see the white ceiling of the soundstage and lights which instead should be the sky.

The Great Outdoors (1988)
Revealing mistake: When the bear gets shot in the hind quarters, you can see that the "bare skin" is nothing more than an overlaid prop based on how it shakes and moves independent of the bear as the bear runs away.
6th Sep 2010
Deuce Bigalow (1999)
Revealing mistake: When Kate is using the chisel on Deuce's head, you can see it's made of rubber as it bends as she is hammering it and stops when he turns around.
30th Aug 2010
Blankman (1994)
Revealing mistake: When Blankman is using his homemade grappling hook, you can see that the string is attached to the top of the invention and turning the handle isn't doing anything as he's simply being lowered.

Village of the Damned (1995)
Revealing mistake: When the eye doctor becomes hypnotized to put the wrong drops in her own eyes, if you watch the bottle nothing ever comes out of it that could cause her to scream.
25th Jul 2010
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Revealing mistake: When the pickup truck stops short and the Creeper goes through the cab, the truck flips over frontwards. If you look near the rear axle when it flips over you can see the puff of white smoke and the cylinder that helped to flip the truck.
19th Jul 2010
Poltergeist (1982)
Revealing mistake: When Diane is pulled back from the front door near the end of the movie, they use a stunt double, as you can see the stunt person scramble off to the right after the real Diane lands behind the stairs.
Suggested correction: You're close. They did use a stunt double but you don't see the double "scrambling off." The stunt double is barefoot and the person you see clearing the shot is wearing shoes. Most likely a stage hand helping the stunt double with the landing.

Yes Man (2008)
Revealing mistake: When Carl and Allison are hugging in the barn scene, you can see how the rain making equipment is forming a rain ring on the ground outside the barn door.
