Breakdown (1997)

Revealing mistake: During the chase on the dirt road, Jeff pulls the Jeep up to the edge of a cliff. Look at the ground ahead of where he ends up. There are clear tire tracks, and the Jeep follows them to a T. This was obviously where they practiced the scene before.

Breakdown (1997)

Revealing mistake: There are no keys in the Jeep when we see the breakdown happen. You can see the steering wheel and where the keys should be. How is this car even moving? (00:08:05 - 00:08:35)

Careful What You Wish For - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, a bunch of money falls from a building. Of course people are grabbing it but when the First Responders show up, everything has miraculously been cleaned up. No money to be found. With the amount that has fallen and the chaos, there would likely be some left over. The street is squeaky clean.

Brake (2012)

Factual error: Throughout the film Stephen Dorff talks to the other agent on the CB. CBs have no way to receive while transmitting, yet the two men overlap each other's conversations.

Visible crew/equipment: As the bad guys are leaving the dig site for Cairo, there is a shot of the black vehicle (lead car) looking right at the driver. On the bottom of the shot is a shadow of film equipment that shouldn't be there. The shot lingers, so the shadow is very visible. (01:22:50)

Continuity mistake: Arnold holds a hot stick of metal to Marion's face in her bar, threatening her. In the opposite angle, the metal is nowhere to be seen when it should be right next to her face. Cut back to the other angle and we see it again.
