Revealing: Near the start of the film, when Lt. Harley is watching his love interest show off by doing gymnastics on the tree limbs, several times you can see the actual pole she is swinging on, not the tree limb.

Quotes
Admiral Benson: Call down to the galley and order up some soup.
Lt. Commander Block: Yes, sir.
Admiral Benson: Ahhh... I love soup. At least I think I love soup. Blasted shell! It's either soup or duck. Which one do you shoot?
Lt. Commander Block: Duck, sir.
[Admiral Benson hits head on desk while ducking.]
Lt. Commander Block: Are you all right, sir?
Admiral Benson: Of course I'm all right. Why, what have you heard?

Hot Shots! (1991) - 13 mistakes
Directed by Jim Abrahams, starring Cary Elwes, Charlie Sheen, Kevin Dunn, Lloyd Bridges (add more)
Audio problem: Topper is driving in to the base beside the running troops on his bike. When they recite the Brady Bunch part, none of the soldiers' mouths are moving.
Revealing: When Topper launches the olive off her belly button in the romance scene, her entire chest moves, showing that it's obviously not her chest.
Continuity: When Dead Meat has crashed, and Washout's parachute is lying on the road, the ambulance runs over it. In the first shot, the ambulance clearly runs completely over it without catching the parachute at all. In the next shot we see the ambulance hooking the parachute and dragging Washout along the road.
Visible crew/equipment: In the battle at the end of the movie, the shadow of the crane holding the miniature plane on the mountain is visible when Topper brakes behind a mountain, turns around the corner and follows the enemy jets.
Visible crew/equipment: When Commander Block walks into Benson's office after his secretary reads his letter, in the very bottom left corner of the screen you can briefly see a crew member sitting there.
Revealing: In the scene where a fighter plane parks on a handicapped parking lot (on a carrier), the openings of the missile pods on that plane and its neighbour are merely painted on.
Visible crew/equipment: After Lloyd Bridges falls out of the aircraft, he then walks by two of the aircraft's jet engines. In the first one, you can see the reflection of the boom mike following him as he's talking.
Visible crew/equipment: When Kent comes out of Ramada's house you can see reflection of the film crew in the chafing dish he is carrying.
Continuity: When Adm. Tug Benson is talking to the troops, they're all acting out certain activities. It shows one man with a football, then cuts to Adm. Benson talking. When it cuts back to the men, the one who had the football is in the same position he was in earlier (as if he was throwing it), but no longer has the ball in his hand.
Revealing: When Ramada starts singing and is walking up the slanted piano, you can easily tell that the whole room is slanted by the way people are sitting in the background. Ramada is actually walking parallel to the floor.
Deliberate "mistake": When Topper is frying eggs, bacon, & hash browns on Ramada's belly, you can tell it is actually a fryer shaped to look like a woman's belly. For one thing, her belly doesn't inflate & deflate from breathing, & she doesn't flinch when Topper is melting the ice cube around her belly button.
Continuity: When Adm. Benson takes a drink of pudding out of his coffee cup, the pudding is all over his mouth. They show the other guy in the room and then go right back to Adm. Benson, and the pudding on his face is gone.
