Character mistake: In the arcade, Simon Williams' alter ego is mentioned during the stages as "Wonderman" (wrong) and in the ending as "Wonder Man" (correct), and Namor is "Submariner" (wrong) during the stage, and "Sub-Mariner" (correct) in the ending. The Genesis version is even more incoherent, since it gets "Wonder Man" right in level 2, but keeps the wrong spelling "Wonderman" in level 5.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: The blood trickling from Sergeant Howie's mouth in the finale changes length, in particular when he is helpless in a full nelson - in close-up it's almost halved in size.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: When Rowan begins to run away, she has a head start on Howie, but at the first cut he's still leading her with a hand on her back like he was doing when he had just released her.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: Punch is forcefully put in line for the 'game'; there are two girls in front of him, but at the cut only one remains.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: Three women begin to repeatedly prod with sticks Howie dressed as Punch. In the very first shot, the one before they break out from the group to rush him, the natural light is different, as shown by the different angle of the shadows.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Revealing mistake: Sergeant Howie spots the creepy candle and knocks it to the floor. He falls to the floor himself and extinguishes the flaming thumb, but reaches it through a visible editing job; some frames are missing.

Sammo

Other mistake: The lineup of enemies is quite illogical when you consider that villains with devastating physical power such as Juggernaut have less energy and pack less power than the penultimate boss, Crossbones, that is simply a skilled mercenary. Juggernaut is also shown with a single eye in contrast with any and every portrait of the character.

Character mistake: After destroying the laser, the heroes face the villain called "Controller", whose name in the arcade version is misspelled as "Control."

Sammo

Character mistake: In the arcade version, at the end of the underwater level the heroes have to face "Mech. Taco", which is not a big soggy tortilla, but, being a mistranslation from the japanese word "Tako", a giant robot octopus.

Continuity mistake: When Mickey is being interviewed for the yearbook, watch out for students that walk in his opposite direction. There are obvious recycled extras appearing in multiple shots coming from the same direction, such as the blonde with checkered top paired up with a guy in a blue shirt. (00:09:00)

Bang Bang (2014)

Bang Bang mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the news reel detailing the Kohinoor theft, a few headlines appear, and at least one persists on screen long enough to easily spot the inconsistency between headline and article (filler text presenting a new local magazine from the London district of Lambeth). (00:09:00)

Heavy Metal Babes

Character mistake: In the payoff clip of Iris' chat #3 "Do you like books", she says she's sending a picture of her latest session masturbating (as in, alone) in the library. Two problems 1) it's a video, not a picture 2) The act depicted is anything but solitary.

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: First game of blackjack. The arm candy brunette whispers to her beau that everything will be fine. The casino guy moves his hand from chin to collar, but in the next shot he's back leaning against his palm with his chin. More of that in the next cut; her hand is on his shoulder, on the table at the cut. (00:30:10)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Flight to Hell mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Janet escorts the two rich clients to their cabin, which happens to be literally next door. Forgetting the fact that it looks nothing like the luxury quarters of a plane, let alone a casino with millionaire bets, she closes the door, but then she comes out of the door that is still open. (00:23:40)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Revealing mistake: The co-pilot for some reason is analyzing some "hi-frequency signals" that the computer is picking up. The loop is not fluid though, and you can pick an exact frame when it's not like a chart spikes, it's a movie clip being played that reached the end and is starting from the beginning with a whole different image.

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: The position, timing, and persistence of the green lights/auras induced by the 'storm' of green goo appear inconsistent throughout the scene. (00:14:00)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: Janet and the tech guy are copulating on the kitchen counter. We see them through one of the airplane window, then the camera angle changes, and they are doing it with a solid wall as background. (00:13:55)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: First play, a couple wins $500,000. The flight attendant/croupier puts down 5 piles of red fiches. In the close-up where she completes the action, you can see on the table the glass the woman was drinking from a split-second before, and there's an orange chip that wasn't there. The player at the end of table is also holding his glass with a single hand and not two. (00:09:15)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Revealing mistake: The pilot gets in the car to go to work, and pulls away from the curb. Or rather, from a flat image of a road with a car (shadows and distance from the other parked car are all wrong). (00:03:40)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8

Character mistake: Roberto says that Misugi already "peaked as a player" as opposed to Tsubasa who can improve. Since he does not know of Misugi's heart condition, the notion that a football player reached already his full potential when he is barely 11 years old is nonsense.
