Galaxy Quest (1999) - 21 mistakes
Directed by Dean Parisot, starring Alan Rickman, Daryl Mitchell, Robin Sachs, Sam Rockwell, Sigourney Weaver, Tim Allen, Tony Shalhoub
Deliberate "mistake": When Commander Taggert (Tim Allen) and Lt. Madison (Sigourney Weaver) are about to press the blue button to stop the ship exploding, Lt. Madison's tunic is mostly zipped up. A few seconds later it is suddenly mostly unzipped. Those of you who have access to the DVD of the film can see that there was a deleted scene which was originally intended to go in here.
Audio problem: In the beginning scene at the Galaxy Quest convention the crowd is clapping and shouting to see the actors but when they cut to the back of the audience you clearly see the audience are not clapping and shouting, or even moving yet, but the sound of the clapping and the shouting is still there.
Visible crew/equipment: When the crew is escaping with the beryllium sphere, there a shot where you can see the filming crew at the top left corner of the image. Submitted by Dr Wilson
Continuity: At the beginning of the show, in the convention where Guy is introducing the crewmembers, Alexander bows with his hand open, when he straightens out his hand is closed. Submitted by jACKAROOBEAR
Audio problem: When Gwen uses her Gilligan's Island analogy, Mathesar says, "Those poor people," and then Tommy says, "Oh brother." We are then shown Guy standing next to Gwen, and Guy says "We're screwed," although if you watch his mouth he actually says something like, "We're dead." This dub is probably for a similar reason to that of why Gwen and Tommy's swearing was dubbed over.
Audio problem: In the early backstage scenes from the convention, the other actors are angry at Tim Allen's character. The actor who plays Laredo clearly says "You are so full of sh*t", but it is edited to "full of it." Those two word edits ('s' word and 'f' word) were done to keep the PG rating, but the editing is sloppy. [This theory could also be expanded to the drug reference mentioned above].
Continuity: When Guy is introducing the actors at the start of the movie, while he is saying Jason's name, to the right of the screen you can see that Guy is holding a glass of water with a lemon in it. The camera then cuts to an overhead shot of the whole crowd and Guy can be seen clapping with nothing in his hands.
