Deliberate mistake: Some odd legal matter must be involved here; when we see the two ladies look at the viral video, one tells the other to look at the "Youtube" sensation with over a million views, but the website shown is not Youtube but an obvious knockoff version. (01:19:30)

The Handmaiden picture

Deliberate mistake: When Sook-Hee is first shown her bed chamber, just after Sasaki leaves, she slides open the door to Hideko's room to look inside. After a 5-6 second silence, a thump sound is heard and Sook-Hee quickly closes the door. Later in the movie, when this same scene is shown a second time from Hideko's perspective, the thump sound, which is revealed to be Hideko banging her doll against the wall, occurs 11-12 seconds after Sook-Hee slides the door open.

Rules Don't Apply picture

Deliberate mistake: The movie is set in the late 50s, but Howard Hughes is dealing with his plane crash and the senate hearing about the H-4 Hercules prototype. Those are events from over a decade earlier. However, it should be noted that the initial disclaimer of the movie is "Names and dates have been changed."

A Kind of Murder picture

Deliberate mistake: It is unlikely that Kimmel shoving/ramming the beer bottles on the table using his dish and piece of steak in his right hand would shatter the beer bottles into such small pieces (or at all) like he did. (00:36:55)

Nine Lives picture

Deliberate mistake: After David jumps off the roof of the Firebrand building, it is discovered that he had been wearing a parachute, but this parachute was never visible on him at any point previously in the scene. Even when he was on the roof and after jumping, the parachute was nowhere to be seen. The parachute was too big to have gone unnoticed. It would have been visible whenever the shot was behind him and the straps would have been seen whenever the camera was in front of him. (01:17:30)
