The Invisible Man: We'll begin with a reign of terror, a few murders here and there, murders of great men, murders of little men - well, just to show we make no distinction. I might even wreck a train or two... just these fingers around a signalman's throat, that's all.

Revealing mistake: When the woman at the bar brings Jack the mustard which she forgot, Jack puts his napkin in front of his mouth. A fraction of a second before that, you can see the down-side of his face which should be invisible. Instead of nothingness you see it's all black.

Trivia: A purely technical error with all "invisible man/woman/boy" movies is that the eye works by interacting with light incident upon the retina. The Invisible Man is made so by being rendered transparent to visible light. This means that his eyes no longer interact with light - so he ought to be completely blind. (However, a healthy suspension of disbelief makes for a great story.).
