Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero mistake picture

Other mistake: While the fire on the oil rig burns all around, Mr. Freeze grabs Belson, then orders him to go find Barbara (to do the transplant). When it cuts to a closeup of Freeze, the reflections of Belson on Freeze's eyeglass lenses are not reversed as they should be. (00:53:00)

Square-Footed Monster - S13-E3

Other mistake: During the storm, after Peggy uses the axe on the McMansion support beam, when it cuts to Luanne running with the tow chain attached to Lucky's pickup truck, note the other end of the chain in mid-air is missing. The animation is incomplete at the left side of the screen.

Ever After (1998)

Ever After mistake picture

Other mistake: When Queen Marie tells Henry he was born to privilege and it comes with specific obligations, Henry says, "But marriage to a complete stranger never made anyone in this room very happy." Then, King Francis demands, "You will marry Gabriella by the next full moon." The problem is Princess Gabriella of Spain is named Princess Gertrude in the credits. (00:34:05 - 01:57:15)

I Love Lucy (1951)

No Children Allowed - S2-E22

Other mistake: When Ricky comes home at 3:00 am, the toggle light switch is in the down position. Ricky places his hand over the switch plate and the room goes dark, but the toggle light switch is still in the same down position.

Frozen Pop - S2-E15

Other mistake: When Arthur decides to sleep upstairs instead of downstairs, he brings along a can of beans for a snack. It then cuts to an exterior street shot, which should be somewhere in Queens where the Heffernans live, but instead it's a shot of the corner at 14 Ave and 73 St in Brooklyn (some areas of Brooklyn and Queens may appear similar). Next shot is inside the Heffernan house in Queens. (00:11:45)

Hizzonner the Penguin (1) - S2-E17

Other mistake: When Pengy shows up at the Grand Order of Occidental Nighthawks he feigns shock, then as he shoves his umbrella into the vat of sulfuric acid, Penguin moves his arm/hand toward the right to pull out a different umbrella, one that appears destroyed by the acid. (00:22:55)

Ten Commandments (1956)

Ten Commandments mistake picture

Other mistake: When Nefritiri rushes to Moses and cries, "I will not live if you must die," in the next shot as Ramses pulls Nefritiri away, the dark outlines of Charlton Heston's modern-day briefs are visible under the ragged garment he's wearing. (01:35:25)

Ten Commandments (1956)

Ten Commandments mistake picture

Other mistake: At the very start of the Exodus there are three consecutive shots with the blowing of horns. In the next shot, while the camera faces the ground, there are multiple imprints of modern work boot or sneaker soles visible on the dirt (near the spotted goat), on the left side of the screen. These are not sole imprints of the time period. (02:59:25)

Batman (1966)

The Curse of Tut (1) - S1-E27

Other mistake: After King Tut's men deliver the statue, it's referred to as a Sphinx. Even Batman says, "Rather good imitation of the 4th Dynasty's Sphinx at Giza." Problem is, the Great Sphinx of Giza is a reclining lion with a human head. The statue in Gotham's park is a ram's head atop a seated human body, resembling Egyptian God Khnum, and looks nothing like the Egyptian Sphinx. Bruce Wayne is a member of Gotham City Museum's Board of Trustees, which recently opened the new exhibit of Egyptian antiquities. (00:10:35)

The Late Captain Pierce - S4-E4

Other mistake: When Digger shows Hawkeye the copy of the death certificate, Hawkeye steps out of the shower stall and its door swings back and forth. As Hawkeye wipes his face with the towel, we can see the top of the flesh colored covering Hawkeye is wearing. (00:08:05)

Peter Pan (1953)

Peter Pan mistake picture

Other mistake: At Skull Rock, when Peter Pan mimics Captain Hook's voice while talking to Smee, just as he says, "Oh, and one more thing," note the handle of Peter's dagger. The animation of his dagger is bizarre, the handle's grip is separated from its pommel, as if it's going through Peter's forearm. (00:41:50)

The Otto Show - S3-E22

Other mistake: Right before Homer and Bart head to the concert, Homer has the high-pitched ringing in his ears while Marge is talking. Then just as Homer says, "I hear you. C'mon, boy," note Selma's and Patty's skin over their scoop necklines are not colored in properly, it's the same color as their dresses. (00:01:45)

The Day the Violence Died - S7-E18

Other mistake: At the end of the episode Lisa and Bart watch Itchy and Scratchy in the TV room, which is beside the kitchen at the back of their house. The TV room has a window that faces the backyard, with the record player on a shelf in front of that window. The problem is when Bart looks out the back window and sees Lester skateboarding past the house, the view outside is actually the street in front of the Simpson house, not their backyard as it should be.

Ugly Betty (2006)

The Courtship of Betty's Father - S3-E14

Other mistake: When Betty is waiting at Elena's home, Elena walks up carrying a bag filled with groceries, and during their conversation we see the box of Nabisco Thin Crisps and bag of Goya Plantains in the grocery bag. Note the "Nabisco" logo and the brand name have been covered on the box, and there are strips of white tape disguising the brand name "Goya" on the bag. (00:36:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Other mistake: Lee has an Atari 830 Acoustic Modem, which has on its front panel an instructional "cord side" illustration, showing the proper direction for the phone cord when the phone handset is secured in the top two cups. The telephone's cord must be placed at the right side in order for the acoustic coupler to work, but in both Lee's and Magnum's closeups, the phone cord is on the left side, but the acoustic coupler works properly. This is impossible. Also noticeable in closeups is the covered brand name of Atari on Lee's devices. (00:24:20 - 00:27:20)

Hog Wild - S2-E4

Other mistake: Preacher has a large bold tattoo at the center of his chest below his neck that changes repeatedly. For example, it's dark and clear when they capture the deputy, but it's smudged and partially gone when Preacher forces Stella, the deputy, and Ralph into the 18-wheeler. (00:29:10 - 00:36:50)

Star Trek (1966)

The Menagerie (1) - S1-E12

Other mistake: While on Starbase 11, Kirk and McCoy watch Pike on a starbase desktop monitor as his light keeps blinking no. When Kirk is with Mendez in his office discussing the Talos IV top secret file, Piper watches Pike on the desktop monitor in the office. Then Spock uses the desktop monitor in his quarters to watch Kirk. All these consoles have the same dings and markings around their screens, which are also the same as other desktop monitors on Enterprise in the previous episode, The Corbomite Maneuver. (00:11:10)
