The Amityville Horror picture

Other mistake: When George is in the basement, his son starts walking down the stairs. Suddenly a light bulb shatters right next to the boy's head, he screams, and falls violently down the stairs. But when it cuts to George coming over, he's just walking at a normal pace as though nothing happened. (This is just after they move in, before the evil spirits take hold of George, so there's no reason for him not to be alarmed.).

The Warriors picture

Other mistake: The Rogues stop to make a phone call at a candy store. The meeting in the Bronx was at midnight so it's got to be 2 or 3am. What on earth is a candy store with a little girl working there doing open at that time with nobody on the streets?

Other mistake: In the scene where Frank Morris first starts to dig using the nail clipper, he stands up in his cell, turns off the light then bends down to start digging, however the only light coming into the cell would be on his right, but the shadows from his head and bars appear to be from a light directly behind him.

The Lady Vanishes picture

Other mistake: Miss Froy writes her surname in window condensation on the train before she is abducted, where it's supposed to have remained visible for hours, which is dubious in high summer. Then it all of sudden disappears as they go through a tunnel, but why would going through a tunnel cause condensation on inside of train window to all of a sudden disappear?
