Chucky (2021)

I Like to Be Hugged - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When Chucky follows Lexy as she's about to open the door and let the other kids into her house, the way Chucky is moving is very unnatural. He's moving less like he's walking and more like he's on some sort of track. He's moving more like he's gliding than walking.

Cult of Chucky (2017)

Revealing mistake: When there's a close-up of the needle going into Nica's arm, you can tell it's a fake needle - the tip is just flat, and there's no hole, unlike a real hypodermic needle. You can also spot where the fake needle "retracted" in the center.

Cult of Chucky (2017)

Revealing mistake: When Claire is bitten by Chucky and she pulls her sleeve up, you can see where the prosthetic is blended into her arm in the first wide-shot. In both that shot, and another shot, you can also see the prosthetic unnaturally "bulging" slightly. It's also very visible in the scene where she's strapped down and Dr. Foley injects her.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Revealing mistake: When Ian's jaw gets hacked off, the blood that splatters on his shirt almost all just beads and rolls off, rather than sticking, and is super thick, revealing it's fake.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Revealing mistake: When Officer Stanton has Father Frank's blood splash on his face, pay close attention to the second shot of him staring with his mouth open. Some of the blood on the right side of his face appears and disappears a few times in the second shot, revealing it was added digitally and there was a flub in the rendering.

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Glen cuts Chucky apart, you can pretty obviously see where the fabric on Chucky's clothes has been pre-cut and then "blended together", so they will "break apart" easily when the ax hits. The ax also doesn't always hit exactly where the limb "cuts off".

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: The "semen" that drips off the turkey baster is painfully obviously CGI. It doesn't quite match the movement perfectly and looks incredibly "flat".

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Tiffany is using the turkey baster to inseminate Jennifer, you can tell she's not squeezing the baster, and yet, it's "squeezing" on its own. (Likely it was impossible for the puppet to properly squeeze it, so they had it rigged to squeeze on its own.)

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Chucky is walking behind Tony Gardner as he's removing Tiffany's back in the VFX room, you can tell Chucky has been composited into the scene poorly. Watch his feet, and you can sort-of see that he has a slightly "wobble/slide" to his movement where the blending of the two shots didn't quite work. The lighting on Chucky also doesn't quite match the background.

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Glen enters the child's room in the dream sequence, look out the window behind the rocking horse. There's an odd, unnatural stream of water firing diagonally among all the rain. (Likely some sort of flub with whatever sprinkler system they're using to create the rain on the windows.)

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: When the mother slips and falls out of the bathtub, there's a very clear jump-cut while the camera is facing the side of the bathtub. Instantly between cuts, the pattern of the water droplets changes, even though it's supposed to all be one continuous, unbroken shot. This reveals that it was pieced together from multiple different takes.

Seed of Chucky (2004)

Revealing mistake: When the father gets stabbed in the dream sequence and falls over the railing, you can tell there are multiple jump-cuts in the shot, even though it's meant to be one continuous, unbroken shot. It's especially noticeable when he lands, and several broken pieces of wood simply "appear" around him between frames.

Show generally

Revealing mistake: During "A Man's Gotta Do", when Captain Hammer kneels down and crushes the gizmo on top of the van, you can briefly catch a glimpse of a black safety cable next to his knee.

Total Recall (1990)

Revealing mistake: When Richter's arms get cut off and he falls down the elevator shaft to his death, you can very obviously see the outlines of his real arms inside his shirt when his leather jacket flies up as he falls.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Revealing mistake: During the car chase, when Mario and Luigi have the cops on either side shooting the guns, Mario screams "Brace yourself, now!" When he says this, you can quickly see Mario and Luigi have been replaced by stunt drivers. Also, Mario's mouth isn't moving. It happens quickly, so slow motion helps, but isn't required.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Revealing mistake: When Mario and Luigi's police car drives off the civilian's car they're stuck to the top, you can blatantly see a metal special effects line that's pulling their car down.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Revealing mistake: When the old lady falls into the car, she blatantly turns into a dummy for a few shots. (She literally doesn't move at all and is unnaturally stiff.)

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Revealing mistake: When Mario and Luigi first arrive in "Dinohattan" and fall through the railing, you briefly get a clear look at Luigi's stunt-double, who appears to be a bulkier man who looks nothing like John Leguizamo. It goes by quick, so it can be hard to see, but once you notice, it's obvious.
