Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines mistake picture

Other mistake: When Kate is viewing the T-X on the security cameras, the two views of the corridor do not match each other. For example, the first camera shows glass walls, whereas the second shows wall panels. (00:23:30)

Daz

Revealing mistake: When Graham and Stella are in bed, the camera shows only their arms intertwined as if he's lying on top of her. She's gasping loudly in response to his thrusting, but their arms never move back and forth to reflect this, so it's clear they're not really having sex.

Daz

Revealing mistake: When the T-850 drives the truck into the building, from the side view the truck misses the silver car completely. Yet in the next shot it appears to hit it, and the car lurches (somewhat unrealistically as if pulled by a cable) to the left and explodes. (00:24:00)

Gods and Generals (2003)

Revealing mistake: When Lee, Longstreet and Jackson are riding through the streets of Fredricksburg, just after the old man has spoken to them, the damaged houses in the background are obviously from a painting. Easiest way to tell is that the street is full of people, up until a certain point. (00:28:25)

Gods and Generals (2003)

Gods and Generals mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Lee and Longstreet are surveying the map of the area, the position of the compass changes without anyone touching it. (01:02:00)

Gods and Generals (2003)

Deliberate mistake: When the two Confederate and Union soldiers meet across the river and trade coffee/tobacco, you can see the other side of the bank behind them. It looks at least 50 feet away, yet before they were able to talk to each other without shouting. Also, the Union soldier raises the pipe to his mouth in his right hand, which switches to his left in the next shot. There is also a mist present at the beginning and end of the meeting, but not in the middle. (00:37:55)

Gods and Generals (2003)

Continuity mistake: When the Confederate soldier is telling the other soldiers about what will happen when he dies, when he says 'give them to my captain to give to my daddy' a soldier with a light coloured uniform marches by. In the next wide shot, it's a soldier with a dark coloured uniform. (01:05:45)

The Blue and the Gray mistake picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: After the Battle of Bull Run, Jonas Steele is seen surveying the aftermath. Trouble is, there are a heck of a lot more dead bodies lying around outside the house than there were when the battle was raging, including those of Union soldiers. As the scenes of the battle demonstrated, the Union never actually got as far as the house; all their casualties were incurred on the slopes approaching the house, and then they retreated. (01:53:20 - 01:59:10)

The Blue and the Gray mistake picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Disc 2: When the Union soldiers cross the creek and the sergeant says 'you ain't even seen the elephant yet, lady', his troops are in a crouching position. But the next shot from the Confederate lines shows them standing up. (00:27:40)

Daz

Show generally

Factual error: Disc 2: There is a scene where a cannon shell explodes inside a hospital ward. Everyone in the ward is killed, but there are no signs of limbs torn off or even shrapnel wounds, only some blood here and there. The same thing happens at the Battle of Bull Run when the old woman gets blown out of her bedroom by cannon fire. (01:32:00)

Terminator 2: Judgment Day mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Obvious stunt double for John Connor when he takes a wide berth from the street into the aqueduct. His hair, for example, is no longer across his forehead. (00:34:45)

Daz

Terminator 2: Judgment Day mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the T-800 is being attacked by the SWAT team in the Cyberdyne building, notice that in most of the shots (i.e. when he is being shot in the face, and also when the camera is behind him) Arnie has been replaced by a dummy (his skin is unnaturally pale). When the T-800 pulls out his gun and starts shooting the SWAT team, it's now back to the real Arnie, and notice how none of their bullets are now hitting his face and body, even though shots are still being fired. (02:00:20)

Daz

Terminator 2: Judgment Day mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Special Edition. The biggest giveaway about the false mirror in the 'chip removal' scene is that John's 'reflection' has his back to the mirror when Sarah is drilling, whereas the real John is standing side-on to it. Also notice that John nervously looks at the camera in this shot. (01:11:50)

Daz

The Blue and the Gray mistake picture

Show generally

Revealing mistake: When the coward is being branded using a red hot poker, you can see that the metal 'C' hasn't been heated at all when it is brought next to his face. Compare it to when they tested it on a piece of wood beforehand. The poker is also covered in a really fake-looking red paint. (02:02:55)

Bob Roberts (1992)

Revealing mistake: When Bob Roberts falls off his motorbike, if you watch closely after he falls he gets up and faces to his right before the camera pans away. When the camera pans back a few seconds later, he's lying down again. It's obvious that the stuntman and Tim Robbins switched during this time, each hiding behind the parked car. (00:49:40)

Daz

Deliberate mistake: The same shot of the railway station concourse is used when Graham and George are heading to work, and also when George commits suicide. The giveaway is that several people are seen in the same position. (00:05:00 - 01:20:30)

Daz

Continuity mistake: When Graham is trying to electrocute his wife, he leaves the end of the black sticky tape on the opposite side of the bulb to the chain. When his wife tries to put the electricity back on, it's moved half way round the bulb. (00:30:00)

The Hidden (1987)

The Hidden mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the Ferrari boss calls Eddie to help deal with Miller, two guys wearing suits are standing in the sunshine next to a grey car. When Miller refuses to take no for an answer after being thrown out, you can see that the guys are gone and the car is now covered by a shadow. The red Ferrari also now has a longer shadow. (00:26:15)

Top Secret! (1984)

Top Secret! mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When Chocolate Mousse throws the anchor with the rope attached into the air, if you watch the ground when they run away, you can see that there's suddenly a lot more rope there, revealing that it was filmed in two takes and the anchor wasn't really thrown directly above their heads. (01:11:20)

The Hidden (1987)

The Hidden mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Miller is eying up the red Ferrari and he opens the door, two mechanics wearing green overalls appear behind him that weren't there in the previous shot, and you can see that the car they are looking at is now covered by a shadow. (00:25:35)
