The Passion of the Christ (2004) - 3 major mistakes

Directed by Mel Gibson, starring James Caviezel

Please note: This is an unusual example, as Mel Gibson has stated that he wants this film to be accurate to the bible/history, as much as possible. Therefore specific historical differences, which might be attributed to artistic licence for most films, are valid mistakes for this.

Mistake Continuity: When Jesus tells Peter to stop fighting against the temple guards when in the garden, you can see the background behind him: a small tree by a large one. The shot cuts to Peter and then back to Jesus telling him to again stop. The background is now reversed.

Mistake Revealing: During the scene where the Romans soldiers raise Jesus' cross, they use two ropes on each arm of it. If you look at the rope on the left side of the screen, you can see that it is slack, it's obviously not supporting the weight of the cross. There must have been some device lifting it off screen.

Mistake Revealing: Just before the Roman soldiers pressed Simon of Cyrene to help Jesus carry the cross, Jesus has fallen and we see that the bruised and swollen-shut eye is now his left. The shot changes and when it comes back to Jesus his right eye is swollen shut again. The film must have been flipped.
