Django Unchained (2012)

Factual error: The straw hat worn by one of the LeQuint Dickey Mining Co. employees (played by Michael Parks) is too modern, as it has eyelet air holes and a plastic cord lock on the chin cord.

Django Unchained (2012)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Django shoots Smitty Bacall, the plough that he is using can be seen on the far left of the field and moving at a slow pace. But when Dr Schultz puts his wanted poster away, the plough is suddenly on the far right of the field having not had enough time to have turned round and moved that far.

Revealing mistake: In the original 1982 version of the film when Elliot and his friends fly away from the police on their bikes, look closely and you can see that their bikes have no handlebars.

Jurassic Park (1993)

Revealing mistake: In the famous kitchen scene, one of the Velociraptors leaps onto one of the counters and knocks over a metal pot with its left foot. The metal pot passes right through the CGI foot. (01:50:35)

Thor (2011)

Continuity mistake: The first time Jane, Darcy and Erik meet Thor, Jane says "Do me a favour and don't be dead. Please. Where did he come from?" But the second time we see them meet him, Darcy suddenly says "Woah, does he need CPR? Because I totally know CPR" right after Jane says "Do me a favour and don't be dead". Extended scene or not, Darcy's line was not there before and it makes no sense for it to be there now because Jane's line is still incomplete when she says it. On top of this, the word "Please" that Jane said earlier is completely gone.

Aeon Flux (2005)

Deliberate mistake: When Aeon is fastening ropes to lower herself down into the security system, her hair parting has switched sides as she fastens the second rope, revealing a flipped shot. (00:08:25)

Aeon Flux (2005)

Continuity mistake: As Aeon enters the Relical to meet The Keeper, she looks around before climbing in. In the front shots of her, she has one hand on the ledge, and in the rear shots she has two hands on the ledge. (00:50:30)

Aeon Flux (2005)

Deliberate mistake: Near the beginning of the film, when Aeon breaks into the security system, the final shot of Aeon's face as she takes out the first set of guards shows her hair parting on the wrong side, revealing a flipped shot. (00:07:35)

Aeon Flux (2005)

Continuity mistake: In the Aeon vs Sithandra fight, Aeon's hair parting is on the left. But once the fight begins it suddenly switches to the right, only to return to the left again when Aeon knocks Sithandra down from the ceiling. (00:46:45)

The Fifth Element (1997)

Revealing mistake: Whilst Diva Plavalaguna is singing, you can see the back of her head creasing and bending. This is because the suit that the actress is wearing is made out of foam latex; confirmed by Nick Dudman, Creature Design Supervisor on the DVD featurette "An Audience With Diva Plavalaguna".

The Fifth Element (1997)

Deliberate mistake: In the very first shot of Korben Dallas, his bedside clock is facing away from him, towards us. We can read it, but he shouldn't be able to because he'd be looking at it backwards.

Angel (1999)

Shiny Happy People - S4-E18

Revealing mistake: When the gang attack the vampires in the bowling alley, watch as Jasmine and Fred walk over the bowling lanes in the background as the others fight the vampires. Jasmine slips on the floor but manages to maintain her balance. You'd think a deity with superhuman strength, telepathy, shape-shifting and psychic capabilities would be able to walk on a smooth floor without slipping and also know that it was smooth to begin with. Although she may lack friction, the shot should have been re-filmed as it is a blatant mistake.

Angel (1999)

Dead End - S2-E18

Other mistake: Both times we see Lindsey shaving, once before his hand transplant and once after, his reflection in the bathroom mirror isn't in fact a reflection. He is wearing a bracelet on his left wrist, but in the mirror it is on his right wrist.
