Poltergeist (1982)

Continuity mistake: When Carol Ann is in the kitchen while her mom is doing the chair demonstration she is holding up a toy with her left hand and helmet in the right hand. When chair slides across the kitchen floor a close up shows Carol Ann yawning then immediately back to her holding the items. Clearly they inserted the yawn scene in as an after thought.

The Time Machine (2002)

Plot hole: When Alexander is traveling into the future and goes through the ice age he is visibly affected by the extreme cold temperature outside the time bubble. However when he stops in the future when the moon had been destroyed then continues he is not affected by the explosions and extreme heat around him. Based on the effect the extreme cold had on him (frost on his face and hair) he should have been roasted alive.

Continuity mistake: When Kevin is running from Harry and Marv he breaks a fake pearl necklace to spread the beads all over. You can see after he drops them all that they have spread far apart. In the next shot where Harry and Marv's feet are shown there are a lot more beads all together which is why they slipped on them.

Audio problem: When Kevin is singing on stage and Buzz is playing air drums by Kevin's ears, Kevin's singing is out of sync with the audio.

Continuity mistake: When Edmond Dantes is being swung back and forth to be thrown over the cliff the seams of the body bag are on top. However they show him looking through the seam as the bag is swinging as if the seam is on the side. He would have only possibly been able to see at the furthest point away from the keys yet the view of the keys is clear as the bag is swinging closest to the keys. On top of this the angle of the view of the keys would mean his head would have to be in the middle of the bag to be lined up with the keys. In the next shot his hand is lined up with the keys.

Revealing mistake: When they are all running from the dinosaurs you can see where they should have been crushed by the massive brachiosauruses. Also when they are running along the collapsing mountainside they are somehow able to float along as the ground is giving way.

King Kong (2005)

Other mistake: When Lumpy's head is getting swallowed he lets out a yell which expels his breath. With his head completely covered, including his mouth, he is able to take a full breath and yell again which would be impossible.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Other mistake: The wood coffin that Jerry Manley is placed in has no bottom. Right after showing him in the coffin they seal the top, insert handles and somehow carry him off.

Continuity mistake: They show David staring at the silver dancers dangling above his bed in which he sees his reflection. Next shot shows him down too low to be seeing his reflection. Also, there is a sound of a wind chime, however the silver dancers are not touching to make the sound.
