M*A*S*H (1970)

Trivia: Director Robert Altman's 14-year-old son, Mike, wrote the lyrics to the MASH theme "Suicide Is Painless," and in the end received more money in royalties than his father did for directing it. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/m/mi/mike_altman.htm.

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Otto has Archie in a barrel and Ken approaches on a cement roller note the pattern in the wet cement. When the camera zooms to Otto's feet stuck in the cement you can see pattern in cement where the cement roller has passed previously, stopping a few feet behind Otto. There is a visible line and the cement appears rougher beyond it. (01:42:00)

Dear Frankie (2004)

Deliberate mistake: Frankie's voice-over reading of the letter to his father does not match the text of the letter. He says, "Ricky Munroe told me. Trust him to put his big feet right in it. I've told him hundreds and hundreds of times." but the letter reads, "Ricky Munroe told me. Trust him to put his size threes right in it. He is rubbish at secrets. I've told him hundreds and hundreds of times." (00:21:15)
