Continuity mistake: When Handy is giving his proposal speech to Sally, the dirt on his cheeks change throughout without him touching it; from a line down his cheek that's not touching his ear, to a wide amount that's touching his ear.

Raising Cain (1992)

Continuity mistake: When Carter goes into his daughter's room after he sees his wife on the monitor, the lights are off. In the first shot of the light switch, it's down, in the off position. In the next shot, it's in the up position, with the lights still off. In the third shot, it's back down.

Raising Cain (1992)

Other mistake: When Carter/Cain is putting the body in the Taurus (Jack's car), we see a clear shot of the licence plate '2ABI111', then we see the same plate on the Volvo he pushes into the lake. And it's not as if he switched plates because later, the same plate is still on the Taurus.

The Waterboy (1998)

Other mistake: When Bobby recovers the onside kick, he recovered it on the 43-yard line, which is where the ball is spotted (the scoreboard even shows this). However, there was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with the late tackle (and a flag was thrown so we know the ref didn't miss the penalty) so the ball should have been spotted on the 28-yard line. (And there's no question there were no off-setting penalties).

Apollo 13 (1995)

Trivia: Jack Swigert actually said "Houston, we've had a problem." It was changed in the film to "we have a problem" so the audience would know it was an ongoing problem and the crew were still in danger, also for Tom Hanks to deliver the line.

Bishop73

Factual error: When Ron starts to fume at Jack Lime; Tony Montana, from Scarface, is seeing shooting his gun, in Ron's eyes. However, Scarface (and thus Tony Montana) didn't come out till 1983 and this takes place in 1980.

Robocop 2 (1990)

Question: When RoboCop is at the hideout, we see several "artifacts" (like the skeleton of Elvis). As he leaves, the camera focuses on something and pans up on it. What is it suppose to be?

Uncle Buck: We've done the battle of the wills. The deck's stacked in my favor. You're just going to lose again.
Tia Russell: Try me.
Uncle Buck: How'd you like to spend the next several nights wondering if your crazy, out of work, bum uncle will shave your head while you sleep? See you in the car.

Uncle Buck (1989)

Buck Russell: I, I, I'm real sorry about those bushes too. I had no idea that they would all catch on fire like that and you were right. I should have never put the BBQ that close.

Uncle Buck (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Miles Russell is unpacking his lunch and asks about a lunch trade, the other kids scatter. The items on the table change when the camera cuts to the overhead shot. Most noticeably a soda can and snack appear in between Miles' food and the bag of Fritos, and the juice box is gone.
