Continuity mistake: The last shot of the plane as it's taking off from the runway with Malloy's car attached to it is a flipped shot. Notice the logo and Jailbird writing near the nose of the plane are backwards.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Factual error: Neither Willie nor the human sacrifice victim show signs of significant perspiration when being lowered to the lava. They should have been sweating profusely after being close to the lava.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Factual error: Indy rescues Willie from the lava pit and immediately releases her from the cage. In reality the cage would be too hot to touch for several minutes after being that close to the lava.

Less Than Zero (1987)
Visible crew/equipment: Crew members can be seen reflected in the rear view mirror of Clay's convertible after he and Blair have their argument in the tunnel.

The Punisher (2004)
Revealing mistake: After The Russian smashes The Punisher's refrigerator door against his head a couple times, he shoves The Punisher to the floor and pushes the refrigerator door shut, but the refrigerator door suddenly and completely stops moving midway before closing, revealing the door to have a stopper built in so as to not actually hit the actor in the head with it (acknowledged by the director in the film's commentary track).

Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (1992)
One on One - S5-E7
Revealing mistake: When Coach Norris matches Mark's dunk in their game of HORSE, you can tell that she uses a trampoline or some other kind of apparatus that's off screen to assist her in her jump.

Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
Revealing mistake: When Lindsey runs to answer her phone after she asks Slevin to explain why he was still wearing a towel, you can see the tattoo on Josh Hartnett's left shoulder blade coming through the makeup.
3rd Jun 2014
Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (1992)
Factual error: When Charles Barkley says "Welcome to the NBA" after dunking on Mark, the ceiling shown above Barkley is way too low to be the ceiling for Haas Pavilion at UC Berkley where the game is being played. It only appears to be about 30 feet high.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
26th May 2014
Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (1992)
Factual error: After Vanessa falls out of the boat and climbs back in, her clothes and hair are only damp whereas she should have been dripping wet after falling into a lake. (00:16:47)

X-Men (1992)
Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: In the scene where Professor X uses his psychic powers to deduce that Jubilee is trying to escape the mansion, there is a semi-dissolve edit that simultaneously shows a close-up of Professor X with his left hand on his forehead and a counterpart image of Jubilee hiding around the corner. If you look closely at Professor X in the counterpart image of Jubilee, his left arm and hand are shown to be on his hover-chair's armrest and not his forehead.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Trivia: When Quicksilver is breaking Magneto out of prison he states that his mom used to know a guy that could control metal, implying that Magneto is Quicksilver's father, just like in the comics.
22nd May 2014
Romeo and Juliet (1968)
Revealing mistake: When Romeo is confronting Tybalt in the alley, the cameraman noticeably stumbles right after Romeo says "Mercutio's soul is but a little way above our heads."

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Continuity mistake: The dog that Harry brings home suddenly has a collar after Dick sets him down on the table. (00:02:40)
20th May 2014
The Mask (1994)
Revealing mistake: When The Mask is dancing with Tina and he turns her into a human tornado while spinning her around, none of the onlookers in the crowd show the slightest bit of amazement at the impossible feat that just occurred in front of them, indicating that the extras were not directed to react to the special effects.
20th May 2014
3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Ms. Dubcek is showing the Solomons the attic apartment in the pilot episode, they enter (and she later exits) through what is Dick's bedroom in all subsequent episodes. Additionally the staircase at the back of the living room that serves as an entry point is completely missing.

The X-Files (1993)
Revealing mistake: When Mulder is examining the residue on the mouth of the deceased man in The Beginning, the dead body's right eye twitches.
29th Apr 2014
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: Archangel's alumni status (or lack thereof) with the X-Men varies throughout the series. Later episodes showed him to be an original member of the team just like in the comics, yet when he first appeared in Season 1, none of the other original members in the show (Cyclops, Jean Grey and Professor X) seem to know who he is. The time traveling mutant Shard also states in Season 4 that he is destined to eventually join the X-Men.

X-Men (1992)

The X-Files (1993)
Other mistake: When Mulder and Scully are first visiting Darlene Morris, there is a split-second shot of Mulder examining residue on his fingers that is edited in between Mulder and Scully ascending the steps to the porch and knocking on the door. It's as if the sequence was initially longer with Mulder discovering a suspicious substance before he and Scully knocked on the door that was not completely edited out. Note: this mistake may only appear on certain formats. At the time this mistake was originally posted, I spotted it on Netflix. However, it does not occur on my DVD, nor Hulu. (00:07:20)
