Robocop (1987)

Continuity mistake: Dick Jones brags (admits?) to Robocop, "I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now, it's time to erase that mistake" while Robocop is crouched on the ground, not only looking away from him from across the room, but also Robocop's eyes are in a vertical position. In the playback, Jones is facing the camera as though it were videotaped or filmed in a studio. (01:10:50 - 01:35:10)

Revealing mistake: When Rick is having sex with Carmela, it's obvious that it's completely fake. The filmmakers tried to hide it by filming through the keyhole and only showing half their bodies but at one point you can see that Rick is lower than Carmela. Also Carmela is voiced over because her voice doesn't match her mouth. (00:43:10)

Continuity mistake: When Ryan is talking with Page over drinks/contract discussions, the camera moves in and out from Ryan/Page to Page. In the switch between close-up and distant shots, you see locks of hair dangling near Page's face in the close-ups, but, in the distant shots, her hair is perfectly set. (00:52:30)

Continuity mistake: When Ryan is talking to Page in her office about Cindy's medical condition she hands him a white coffee mug with black stripes.

Gremlins (1984)

Gremlins mistake picture

Factual error: For a movie supposedly set in late December in a Northern state, all of the deciduous trees still have leaves on them. The most obvious place to see this is in the opening scene, when Billy is trying to start his car in front of his house. (00:07:05)

Gremlins (1984)

Gremlins trivia picture

Trivia: When Billy's mom takes the picture of Gizmo at the beginning, Gizmo becomes frightened and runs over to Mr. Peltzer. When the scene is slowed, you can see the puppeteer's hand underneath while operating the Gizmo doll. Not a mistake as needs slo-mo, but worth a look. (00:19:10)

Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)

Factual error: A male bee yells, "attack!" and more male bees cry, "defend the hive!" Male bees never leave the hive and they don't have stingers. (01:02:10)

Demolition Man (1993)

Audio problem: After John Spartan crashes through the police station sign he says, "All I need is a needle and a thread." But when the camera is behind him and he says the line, "I really didn't say that, did I?" his mouth doesn't move when his face is in frame. (01:35:35)

Audio problem: In the European version, Taco Bell is replaced by Pizza Hut, however, when Huxley says to John Spartan that they're going to Pizza Hut, we see her lips say "Taco Bell." (00:57:00)
