Rank Film Mistake  
1 Die Hard

In the shot where we see all the terrorists (except Karl and Theo, who are upstairs) walking into the building from downstairs, they are about to walk through a doorway when the camera cuts out. Watch the terrorist on the left (he's the one who guards the door) - before the camera cuts out he realises he's about to hit the doorframe very hard. Reminiscent of the Stormtrooper in Star Wars.
2 Cocktail

As Tom Cruise and Elisabeth Shue are walking on the beach on their first date, they walk towards the camera, and you see the shadow of the camera crew very clearly.

In the scene in the restaurant where Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman are trying to order breakfast, Hoffman's character fixes the salt and pepper shaker a certain way. In the next shot they are opposite the way he fixed them. Then in the next shot they are back to the way he had fixed them.

After Jim's horse is shot from under him while running down the really steep hill, and Jim later regains consciousness, before he turns and finds his horse dead, if you watch closely you can see the horse still breathing.
8 Rambo III

Rambo has a cut on his left cheek bone that is forever getting smaller, bigger, scabby and in some scenes it's gone. Sometimes it's white, sometimes red. This all happens in one day.
9 Oliver and Company

The dog called 'Tito' has a piece missing from one ear - the piece missing changes from one ear to the other.
10 Who Framed Roger Rabbit
votemap vote up vote down
When Valiant came upon the ugly Jessica look-alike, and she began to chase him, the chase ends with Eddie moving the roadline towards a wall, the results of which are her crashing into it. When Eddie throws the line to the wall, you can see that the cartoon line goes a bit "into the filmed wall" and covers a part of it.
11 Young Guns

There is a scene where one of them jumps on a horse, and you can see one of the crew holding on to the reigns as the horse throws its head back.
12 Critters 2
votemap vote up vote down
As the brown truck drives away in the scene after the man working in the newspaper office is "harpooned" by a critter, if you look closely as the truck turns a corner you can see some critters rolling after it. Well, after they roll past the truck in the bottom left of the screen you can see the critters roll right smack into another parked car. Obviously the crew forgot to add a turning feature to their critter balls (which were just some fur taped to a basket ball).
13 A Nightmare on Elm Street 4
votemap vote up vote down
In the scene where the souls are coming out of Freddy's chest, in the first close-up on the bottom left of the screen you can see a man's hand holding a black stick to manuoever the little arms. It's real fast but noticable on standard play.

In the scene were Jake is in the bed already after telling Christy he was really tired and didn't want to be bothered he rolls over. She comes out of the bathroom & of course fanning the room from all of his cologne. Christy lays down in bed flat with no pillow behind her head. In the next scene showing Jake's face & Christy behind him in bed she now has a pillow under her and is much higher up in bed.
15 Married to the Mob

About 40 minutes from the end (I think - Michelle Pfeiffer is on a beach with Dean Stockwell), a boom mike comes in from the bottom of the screen <i>very</i> obviously, taking up about a third of the screen.
16 The Rescue

There is a scene where the kids are being chased in a speedboat, while mortars are being launched at them from behind.

When Johnny is spinning the two robbers around, you can tell that he is actually holding dummies. In the close up shots of the robbers, you can see them kicking their legs, but in the wide shots of the room, they are rigid and lifeless.
22 The Unbearable Lightness of Being

When Tereza first gets her camera she takes photos which show Prague street life pre-Soviet invasion. So presumably it's late 1967 or early 1968. The background music is a Czech cover version of "Hey Jude" by the Beatles. This song wasn't released in the west until 1969.

In the bathroom scene where Mike's ex-girlfriend is getting undressed to take a shower a long-necked clown jumps from out of the toilet. Anyone and I mean anyone can clearly see the arm of a white guy sticking out of the bottom of the clown's neck controlling the puppet.

votemap vote up vote down
Any time when the two girls are in hell's corridors and running around, you see these corridors as stone walls, yet whenever they back up against one of these walls, you can clearly see they are merely rubber sheeting overlayed on a framework as the rubber sheeting bends and contracts very clearly.
