Django (1966)

Revealing mistake: When Django exits the saloon after having been in there to drink and have sex with Maria, his boots are already covered with wet mud. His boots should have dry, caked-on mud. This means they did multiple takes of this scene, but they didn't bother to clean off the boots between takes. (00:29:15 - 00:29:40)

Revealing mistake: During the opening music score and credits, a seagull is flying and being followed by the camera. When the seagull gets to the rocky valley, it is obviously a black, drawn-in seagull and not the real thing. At one point, you can see the rock wall through the body of the seagull. (00:03:15)

Demolition Man (1993)

Video

When he scans the eyeball to get out of the prison, the outer edges shows that the scanned eyeball is still in the eye socket. You can see the eyelids on the in the top right and bottom right edges of the shot.

Before the whip strikes Barin, you can see the red blood on his face, we then hear the crack of the whip, Barin yanks his head back as if he had been hit and then comes back into frame smearing the red blood.

Their conversation until she beats Wayne in arm wrestling took 1 minute and 22 seconds. At this time we hear the timer go off and she says that time is up. There should still be 1 minute and 8 seconds before the timer goes off. (00:21:25)

Bedazzled (2000)

Revealing mistake: During the opening sequence we see a lot of things happening very quickly and sped up. Everything is going in a progressive direction, not going backwards. As the sun rises in San Francisco a clock on a building is shown. The hands on the clock are going backwards instead of forwards. This was shot at dusk, not dawn, then reversed. (00:02:25)

Revealing mistake: When Vida, Noxema and Chi Chi decide on the convertible they pull forward a few feet. The catch their "reflection" in a mirror of some sort. When viewed with great scrutiny we see that in fact this is not a mirror reflecting their image but a camera shot of them that has been reversed. The special effects guy placed the lights around the clip to make it look like a mirror. When seen numerous times we can see the image shake a bit and that the image moves ever so slightly within the light bulb frame. (00:17:50)

What about Bob? (1991)

Revealing mistake: When Dr. Marvin is choking on his food Bob gives him the Heimlich maneuver. He then puts Dr. Marvin on the couch and jumps down on him. Dr. Marvin expels the food just before Bob knees him the third time. This is best viewed in slow-motion. We are lead to believe that the third knee drop caused the food to be dislodged when actually the food is spit out just a split second prior to Bob landing the knee drop. (00:53:20)

Alien (1979)

Revealing mistake: They use the same shot three times when showing the acid eating throughout the ship. After they try to cut the finger off the face sucker, acid begins to burnt through the decks. When they have gone down 1 deck and look up they see where the acid came through. They then move down 1 more deck and look up again. The acid is just beginning to burn through. Then they look up again and it is the same shot that was used before. The same hanging acid on the right with the drip on the left. After the acid has neutralized, they look up at the hole and it is the same shot again. (00:39:50)

Revealing mistake: When McDonald is in the tunnels and is called to pick up the phone, he picks up a red phone. It is a standard Bell TouchTone desk phone. To make the phone look more futuristic, there was no cord and it was disguised as a cordless phone. The port that the cord would plug into is covered by a piece of colored tape. This also can be seen in the operations center of Ape Control when the worker picks up the phone.

Hackers (1995)

Revealing mistake: In the scene when Joey got busted by the FBI for hacking, he was taking a shower. They then took him to the living room and sat him down on couch with nothing but a towel wrapped around him. As they confiscated Lucy the computer for evidence, he lunged over the couch to try to save her/it. The towel falls off and his butt is in plain view, but his genitals don't exist. Instead, there is a flesh colored pad concealing his privates from the viewers. (00:32:40)
