Suggested correction: I could not see Will's speedometer or tachometer (RPM gauge) during his drive to Frank's. What I did see (and believe you saw) was the patrol officer's instrument panel while he was parked along the road using radar. This was before he pulled out to chase Will's speeding SUV, so both gauges should have been on the far left (i.e, on "0"). [00:46:28].

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 picture

Revealing mistake: When Sonic and Tails arrive in Green Hills on the biplane, Tom and Maddie are looking up at them, but not focused on the same point. Instead, Maddie is looking to the left, and Tom to the right.

Scream picture

Revealing mistake: When Ritchie tackles Sam down the stairs, you can get a pretty clear look at both the stunt-man and stunt-woman's faces as they fall. They then switch back to the actual actors once they reach the bottom of the stairs.

Jurassic World Dominion picture

Revealing mistake: While in the helicopter, Alan's eyes do not align with the location of the Dreadnoughtus. Alan is looking to his far right before the helicopter even approaches the dinosaur and it is shown across the front of the screen. Alan's eyes then stay fixed straight ahead (even after passing the dinosaur), giving the impression he's looking at the dinosaur, but he would have needed to keep turning his neck to the right as the helicopter flew past in order to keep it in sight. (00:35:14)

Suggested correction: It's a common movie trope. The two things aren't happening in sequential order. They're happening at the same time. Alan isn't looking before the helicopter approaches the dinosaur...you're seeing the inside of the helicopter as it approaches and passes the dinosaur. They're happening at the same time.

Sin Eater picture

Revealing mistake: Christine closed her dead brother's eyes without actually touching them. Christine had an open hand (no cupped palm) with her fingers straight out and together; her pinkie finger touched her brother's nose, meaning her other fingers would have been too far away from his eyes and unable to make contact. (01:11:03)

Detective Knight: Redemption picture

Revealing mistake: During the (second) bank robbery, the ceiling was frequently unusually close to the top of the robbers' heads (inadequate clearance), indicative of a poorly positioned green screen (or CGI). (00:16:35 - 00:17:00)

Dog (2022)

Dog picture

Revealing mistake: A dog would not be able to jump through a vehicle's window and land on shattered glass covering the rear seat without getting its paw pads cut. The shattered "glass" that Lulu was standing and sliding on appeared to be ice. (01:07:29)

Jurassic Domination picture

Revealing mistake: The views to the right and left of the truck on the road did not flow in the manner expected if they were actually there (as opposed to using a green screen). Also, as soon as a "stop" sign could be seen to the right, the camera shifted to the driver, who kept driving as though the stop sign was not there. The structures to the right of the truck were blue but became white when the camera shifted to a front view (not using a green screen). (00:01:20)

Uncharted picture

Revealing mistake: During the scene with the ships hanging from the helicopters, Nate decides to fire a cannonball at the other helicopter as it's coming towards them. A standard cannonball shot from a 36 pound cannon that the Spanish used on their ships weighs 16.5 kilograms (the weight of a large full water dispenser bottle) but Nate tosses it around like it weighs nothing.

Fortress: Sniper's Eye picture

Revealing mistake: Robert's upper body is leaning against a pillow with his adjustable bed at about a 60° angle, and stays at this angle when there are front views of him. After Paul arrives, views of Paul that include only part of Robert's stomach/torso show Robert lying at a lower angle, closer to 45°. Sometimes, the blanket representing where Robert's stomach would be is all that is included. Robert [Bruce Willis] probably was not present when front views of Paul were filmed. (00:25:09 - 00:25:33)

Poker Face picture

Revealing mistake: The aerial view showed it was not raining during the "supercar race", but the ground views showed at least two cars getting sprinkled on (one enough to turn on the wipers). When the camera shifted to road-level, the cars and road were dry. (Suggests filming at different times). (00:31:15 - 00:31:48)

Gone in the Night picture

Revealing mistake: Max rolled down the front passenger side window and no wind came into the car, but when he had his face barely out the window, his hat blew off (not shown on screen). If wind hit the visor part of his "bugout" hat, the hat would have most likely blown off into the car. (00:03:40)

Catherine Called Birdy picture

Revealing mistake: In the wide view, the tree trunk is perpendicular to the level ground while Birdy and her cousin are standing. There is no large tree to the left, just a fence-like display of shrubbery parallel to the ground running across the rear of the screen. When the camera shifts to the girls sitting next to the trunk, they are made to appear as though they are sitting on a grade (not level ground), the background shrubbery runs diagonally across the screen, and a large tree is visible to the left. (00:32:38)

The Bad Guys picture

Revealing mistake: This happens in the second ceremony when Wolf didn't press the button to shut off the lights to steal the golden dolphin because of the good comments. Few seconds later, the lights shut off, and you can see that the meteor on the top disappears at the time.

Devotion picture

Revealing mistake: During the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, just before VF-32 comes in to provide air support, the Marines are firing their M1 Rifles. One of them mimics the recoil of it but we don't see the bolt move back when he fires his rifle. The M1 Rifle or Garand is semiautomatic, and the bolt moves back each time the shooter pulls the trigger.

Blight picture

Revealing mistake: Luke points a flashlight along the side of the staircase, but no shadows are produced on the wall from the vertical posts. Luke points the flashlight in front of himself and produces his shadow on the wall behind (and the shadow doesn't look like the way he is holding the flashlight). After Luke goes through the entryway aiming his flashlight ahead, a circle of light is behind him. The power is out, so the flashlight is the only light source - except that used for filming in the dark. (01:03:00 - 01:05:25)

On the Line picture

Revealing mistake: Obvious use of a "green screen" when Elvis and Dylan are sitting on the steps in the stairwell. The five distinct steps that could be seen behind them become a gray wall and the blue handrail posts to the right of the screen become oddly grouped, appearing to be parallel to the right side of Elvis' shoulder/back. (01:09:00 - 01:09:25)
