Revealing mistake: When Mulder - whilst trapped in the body of Morris Fletcher - is doing various poses in front of the mirror, several of his movements and the corresponding movements from the realized reflection of Morris Fletcher are slightly out of sync with each other.

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Jennifer comes into work the next day after her dinner date with Dick, her face is covered in hives from an allergic reaction. Later when Dick interrupts her choral group, the hives on her face have disappeared. She and Dick are wearing the same clothes in both scenes, so she couldn't have overcome such a reaction in such a short amount of time. (00:12:30 - 00:15:00)

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Revealing mistake: When Harry throws the tent against the ground, his left foot bumps against the large rock on the ground and the rock moves. (00:07:20)

The Maze Runner (2014)
Deliberate mistake: Despite taking place for at least three years (prior to the arrival of Thomas) in an isolated post-apocalyptic setting, the boys in the Glade have professional looking hairstyles, not the least of which are Minho and Gally, who both have short hairstyles that look evenly cut and professionally maintained.

Dick and the Other Guy (2) - S3-E23
Audio problem: When Liam is performing karaoke at the end of the episode, his mouth is not even moving for some of the lyrics, and there aren't any vocal tracks on the song, because only the instruments are heard when he abruptly stops singing to admonish the crowd for trying to leave during his performance.

Sally and Don's First Kiss - S3-E24
Factual error: When Dick is purchasing his lunch, the cashier tells him the total is $3.75 and he incredulously lays down another coin because he thought his total was going to be $3.50. When he walks away with his tray, you can see that he paid for the meal with 4 coins. Unless he paid with silver dollars (the Sacajawea dollar had not been minted yet) then there is no way he could have covered the $3.75 with just 4 coins. And if he did pay with silver dollars then it would have been completely out of character for him to not have gotten any change, seeing how the show has established him as a cheapskate, as well as he would definitely get change seeing as how upset he was at having to pay an additional 25 cents for his meal.

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Character mistake: When Tommy asks Don how he knows his I.D. is fake, Don says it's because he used to date Tommy's sister Sally. Sally, for the purpose of the aliens' mission to study Earth, is supposed to be Tommy's aunt. (00:14:25)

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Other mistake: When Dick is trying to get into the jewelry store, the clerk keeps trying to buzz him in. When that doesn't work because Dick doesn't understand to wait for the buzzer to finish before he tries opening the door, the clerk goes over to the door and unlocks the deadbolt and opens the door for him. If the door was locked by a deadbolt, then a buzzer wouldn't really do anything to unlock the door. (00:14:05 - 00:15:00)
Suggested correction: It's not a deadbolt. If it was they have retracting deadbolts.

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Character mistake: When Tommy walks into the flower shop, he tells the clerk that his sister is getting married. For the purpose of their mission, Sally, the sister in question, is actually supposed to be Tommy's aunt. (00:05:20)

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Other mistake: When Harry spits baby food on the baby (the camera lens in actuality) in retaliation for the baby spitting food on him and Tommy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt breaks character and laughs uncontrollably and looks at and gestures to off-screen crew members a couple times. (00:06:25)

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)
Revealing mistake: After Evil Robot Ted dunks his own head in the basketball hoop and the head falls to the floor, you can see the hole cut in the floor where Keanu Reeves is poking his head through. (00:57:50)

Black Sheep (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Drake sneaks up on Steve while he is urinating on the tree, he turns Steve around, and as happens in many films when someone is interrupted while urinating, his genitals are magically back in his pants. You can then hear Steve urinate on the ground a couple times as Drake continues to intimidate him, which wouldn't be possible if his genitals were back in his pants.

Tricky Dick - S3-E3
Trivia: Dick's rant about his perceived evils of rock music is identical to Reverend Moore's (also played by John Lithgow) opposition to dancing from the film "Footloose."
30th Sep 2015
3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Continuity mistake: Dick's plot in this episode is that he learns about the concept of tipping. However, the season 3 episode "Eleven Angry Men and One Dick" showed that Dick was already familiar with the concept of tipping when he tipped a bailiff during a jury selection process.

Little Nicky (2000)
Other mistake: When Nicky is expressing his trepidation about going up to the Earth realm, he states that he's never even slept over at a friend's house. Later when he is on Earth, Beefy has to remind him to try sleeping, as Nicky had no idea what it was.

Total Recall (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Lori punches Doug in the crotch, you can see that Arnold Schwarzenegger is wearing some kind of padding under his pants to soften the blow. (00:25:35)

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Continuity mistake: When Hans Landa first approaches Bridget von Hammersmark in the theater, he is shown to be walking right up to her, as evidenced by the shot of his right foot being shown to be mere inches away from her left leg. When the shot changes to a medium shot of von Hammersmark saying "Colonel Landa, it's been years," Landa is suddenly out of shot, whereas the proximity of his feet to von Hammersmark's suggests he should have been visible in the medium shot. (01:51:10)
