I Am Legend (2007) - 17 mistakes
Continuity: At the end of the movie, when Nevile is behind the glass and he is thinking and all the sound goes away, you can see the bite mark that the zombie gave him. While the shot is changing between him and the zombie, you can see the bite mark change sides of his shirt. Submitted by luke skyjogger
Revealing: When Dr. Neville first approaches "Fred" at the trap, we see the taxi from both sides as it sits on top of an intact railing. When the taxi starts to teeter over, there is now a section missing in the bridge that was cut out for the car to fall properly off and be at the right angle to "teeter" as well.
Audio problem: At the end of the movie when Neville is shooting at the darkseeker, he runs out of ammo and you hear repeated clicking as if the gun kept trying to shoot. He has an AR15 and the bolt locks back when the last bullet is shot. If he released the bolt he would get one click, but would have to recock the gun for every subsequent click.
Continuity: When Will Smith sees Fred at the end of the road and is lured into the darkseeker's snare trap, before Smith actually gets caught and hung upside down (approaching Fred from the truck and shooting at him), the position of the sun in the sky, and angles of light in the scene, change dramatically in only a few minutes time.
Visible crew/equipment: When Will Smith is trying to hunt the deer and they go down the bridge, on the right side of the screen you can see someone's shadow running - a film crew member, probably. (He's the last man in Manhattan and the zombies aren't out yet, so who else could the shadow belong to?)
Audio problem: Just after the lion takes the deer Neville was hunting at the beginning of the movie, his watch alarm goes off to signal that it's getting dark. The watch alarm in the movie is a "beep-boop" two tone. As the owner of both watches Neville is wearing, I know that the watch we get a closeup of, a Swiss Army Sportech 4000, has a single (once per second) alarm beep and the watch on his other arm, a Hamilton Khaki X-wind, does not have an alarm.
Factual error: Neville shoots the propane tank in the kitchen, driving the darkseeker out into the hallway. Shooting a propane tank without an external source of ignition or a tracer would simply result in the tank's gas escaping and maybe the tank moving across the room. The Mythbusters needed an armor piercing rifle bullet to get through a tank and couldn't ignite it even with tracer rounds. Propane tanks are very thick walled. Bullet sparks are a movie myth. Bullets are either lead or lead in a copper jacket. Neither will spark when hitting metal.
