Marathon Man (1976)

Continuity mistake: When the oil tanker explodes near the beginning, the fire shooting out of it comes out in different places depending on the angle. The most obvious is right after the crash. The shot changes angles, and the explosion happens a second time.

Tremors 2 (1996)

Animal House (1978)

Revealing mistake: When Bluto first watches the sorority girls on his ladder, he moves to the left screen. As he is moving the ladder, the curtain in front moves too. The glass pane is not present, likely to prevent reflection of the camera.

Continuity mistake: Dee tells a woman on deck that a chair is hers. The woman shows that she already has a towel on the chair. Suddenly, her towel is fully laid out on the chair when she goes to sit down. At no point do we see her put the towel on the chair like it ends up.

Revealing mistake: About 40 minutes into the film, there is a shot of guys on horses going one direction. Before the shot cuts, a road sign pole is visible. This indicates the camera crew are on a dirt road.
