Les Visiteurs (1993)

Revealing mistake: I think this film has been translated, so this mistake is surely only in the original French version. When Jacquouille and Godefroy are in the car with the old couple, Godefroy is sick and says "Je vais vomir glairer". Glairer is the old word for vomir (vomit). It's like he forgot to speak in old French for a second.

Revealing mistake: When Greedo is threatening Han in the Cantina, there's a black object behind him. When Han shoots him, the object is smaller and some round things appear on the wall. It's visible in the screenshot of the dummy Greedo. (00:50:10)

Die Another Day (2002)

Revealing mistake: In Korea, James takes a hovercraft to escape from the base. He throws one soldier outside and knocks out another one. When the son of General Moon collides with him, you can see that the knocked out soldier is obviously a dummy.

Revealing mistake: When Luke and Vader are fighting in Cloud City, there is something looking like tape wherever they hit something with their lightsabers. Maybe it's pyrotechnic charges?

Modern Times (1936)

Revealing mistake: During the fight in the prison, you can see that the doors are really cheap. A policeman is pushed on one of them and it opens. Not really efficient to retain prisoneers. (00:26:40)

Star Wars (1977)

Revealing mistake: Special Edition. When Han is speaking to Jabba in the hangar, when they are talking about the percentage, or something like that, Han says that 20% is too much. When he says that, his sleeve passes through Jabba's arm.

Revealing mistake: When the Millennium Falcon is attracted to the Death Star, there is a frontal view of it. At the end of that shot, the sky under the ship becomes suddenly bright and you can see the stick used to move it.

Revealing mistake: When the bomb that Korben puts on the balcony explodes, there are two quick shots of the Mangalores. They are dummies because they've stopped shooting and don't move. (01:42:10)

Star Wars (1977)

Revealing mistake: When Luke and C3PO are outside of the farm searching for R2D2, a droid passes in front of them. You can see lines in the sand, either to keep the robot in a straight line, or where the wheels of the robot have gone in earlier takes. (00:26:50)
