Jet Robot (1975)

Revealing mistake: As he holds the dead Gwen in his arms, Peter says "Stay with me, stay with me" two times, twice, and then a fifth time "You stay with me." Between the two repetitions, you can see Emma Stone's long eyelashes twitch. (02:02:30)

Revealing mistake: Look behind the policeman when he shouts "Sir, get your hands away from the cables, right now." For absolutely no reason the extras (one in particular to the left that was looking in a different direction entirely) remembers to act scared only at the word "get", but the policeman already started shouting before, and sparks have been flying even earlier. (00:52:00)

Revealing mistake: Max is having a delusional monologue at the mirror with his imaginary friend. You can notice that the 'gap' between his teeth is represented by a piece of black tape. (00:24:30)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: During the "Gone Gone Gone" montage where Peter recaps the parents subplot by plastering his room with various junk about them, he sticks a particular newspaper clipping using tape. The article is an obvious movie prop fake; look at the right of the photo and you can see the paragraph begins with not even a proper sentence; "Cell regeneration, and long time partner and friend to Norman Osborn, went missing", which is the copy and paste from the beginning of the article save the first line. Copy-paste can also easily be spotted from the leftmost to the rightmost column. (01:01:50)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: A Ghost Runner scares the people having a jog in the park. When you first see this peculiar ghost (who even checks his own pulse, funnily enough) the extras react to him with timing wildly off; the ones further back in the curve react when the ghost has already passed them by, but turn towards the middle of the track as if he were right there. One of the last people reacting is a woman who didn't even make it to the curve in time to see anything. (00:37:20)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: During the sequence where the ghosts knock the courtroom chairs in the air, you can see that some chairs have one leg that looks oddly 'loose' or with something sticking out (as interviews with the technical cast members clarify, each chair had an extension part that went into the floor and was launched up by an air mortar). (00:34:45)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: In the courtroom scene, when the sample of slime begins to bubble and react to the judge's malevolence you can plainly see that an inflatable mechanism situated under the jar is responsible for the wobbling. (00:32:00)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: When Ray kicks and breaks the pipe in the underground, the prop was obviously put together to break at the flimsiest touch; it's not just a corroded or even cracked pipe, the two parts are not even of the same color, they were never a single piece to begin with. (00:25:40)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Ghostbusters mistake picture

Revealing mistake: The Ghostbusters' containment unit explodes with a sinister beam that blasts through the rooftop. In the shot with the camera at street level showing New Yorkers running scared, you can see a blatant light 'halo' around one of them as by-product from the optical effect. (01:08:00)

Welcome to Free Will

Revealing mistake: In the intro of the game, look at the newspaper on the desk in the shot when you can only see the arms of the protagonist. The headline to the left of the picture is handwritten.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: The setup of the story is the usual; characters forced to coop together at a secluded location, they can't contact the outside world and one of them is a killer. In this case, they are on an island and the only radio they had been on the boat that someone set on fire. However, when one of the suspects shows Kindaichi a photo from their smartphone, the screen shows that they have an active 3G connection. (00:08:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: The director is drinking alone and freaks out about to go on a murderous rage. In the shot when she realises that her snacks have been tampered with and stands up, the bottle of "Yontory whisky" she is drinking from has a different texture from the rest of the scene. The snacks themselves also change position between shots. (00:17:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 1 - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi shifts the stage screen Miyuki is holding, her fingers are not gripping the sides in the new position. Unless she is keeping it up sticking the back of it to her palms like Spider-man, it is impossible. She does hold it normally in all the other shots. (00:01:55)

Revealing mistake: When Venom violently opens the large portal of the church, he barely takes one step but the doors close basically through him. (01:08:15)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Shriek's scream is strong enough to cause the explosion of a helicopter at great distance, but the frame of the windshield is unscathed. (00:54:15)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: The back of Cletus Kasady's head appear quite different between the semi-POV shot in the car (stunt driver) and the next shot when Woody Harrelson steps out of it and gets to the gas station where he will 'hack the internets'. (00:49:40)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Kasady squishes a spider that is walking on the postcard. The splattered blotch, strictly divided in red and black, is disproportionately large for the size of the insect. (00:25:35)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: In a random act of road rage, Carnage sticks out a couple of tentacles, effortlessly lifts up a truck that was driving by, and tosses it off the bridge. Great, but no matter how strong Carnage and each tentacle of his is, it can't nullify physics; it lifts that vehicle stopping entirely its momentum, and Carnage's car does not even remotely budge for the added weight. (00:45:25)
