Clerks 2 (2006)

Trivia: Not a mistake, but something to notice. As Jay puts the Jackson 5 tape in the boom box, he has difficulty putting it in. As he keeps doing this, you can see Jason Mewes smile. It's not a mistake for Jay to smile, but it's worth pointing out.

The Avengers (2012)

Trivia: In the final scene of the film, as Tony is unfolding the blueprints for the new Stark Tower, if you look very carefully (slo-mo may be necessary) you can see files with a symbol representing each Avenger in the upper right corner of each file - Captain America's shield, Thor's hammer, etc. The implication being that Tony will build a section of Stark Tower for each of his friends.
