Other mistake: While the school is burning, a few shots after the closeup of Kate and Tom kissing, there's another shot of an explosion and it's a flipped shot, note the writing is backwards on the banner. (01:30:10)

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Other mistake: While Indy and Henry are aboard the zeppelin Indy tosses Vogel out the lounge window, and when Vogel shouts up to the departing airship, in the next exterior shot we see the zeppelin airborne against a scenic view. Later, when Indy realises the zeppelin is turning around it cuts to another exterior shot of the airship, and the scenic view is identical to the earlier shot, only it's been flipped. The images of the zeppelin facing two different directions were composited onto the same scenic background.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Other mistake: After Young Indy runs out of the cave with the Cross of Coronado, when he whistles for his horse and jumps down, note the horse's facial marking and leg marking. When Indy mounts the horse it's a different horse, note its markings, and as he rides toward the circus train the horse has changed again. (00:04:55)

Dexter (2006)
Other mistake: While Dexter's searching for info on Travis Marshall on his laptop, he opens the DMV Records window with an image of Marshall's driver license, and in the closeup at the bottom of the license it reads "Operation of a motor vehicle constitutes consent to any sobiety test required by law," with the word "sobriety" missing the letter "r." Additionally, under the image of the license it reads "Issued: 10-12-2006", but on the actual license image it reads, "DOB: 11-24-1977, Issued: 09-23-1990, Expires: 09-23-2012." So that means Marshall was not even 13 yrs old when he got his license, and the license won't expire for 22 years. Also, when Brother Sam knocks on the door Dexter clicks back onto the MOA website, and if you care to pause the screen note the word "Exibit" is missing the letter "h." (00:18:50)
4th Mar 2018
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Other mistake: When Arthur takes Harry aside at the Leaky Cauldron, the moment before Arthur says, "There are some within the Ministry who would strongly discourage me from divulging what I'm about to reveal..." we can see the digital number "300" flash on the stone pillar to the right of the wanted poster. (This occurs only in the fullscreen version, as opposed to a widescreen version where the number "301" flashes underneath the poster, which is noted in another mistake). (00:17:30)
28th May 2017
Toy Story (1995)
Other mistake: During the scenes in Andy's room, when characters are standing near the window beside Andy's bed, and also on both the interior and exterior sides of the window behind the desk, we can see the same markings/scratches/chipped paint on their white lower sash rails, though the marks on the exterior side of the window behind the desk, are actually opposite from the other marks.
28th Apr 2017
Doctor Who (2005)
Other mistake: After the Doctor tells Bill that Heather's face isn't symmetrical, when he and Bill look into the "puddle" together the Doctor explains that instead of seeing her normal backwards reflection, she's seeing her face "the right way round." The problem occurs in the next shot of the Doctor and Bill seen in the puddle, because the "WOW!" patch on Bill's jacket is properly where it should be, but note everything else is actually backwards. Things such as Bill's color-block top and her denim jacket buttons are on the opposite way. Also note the Doctor's ring has switched hands. Presumably this shot was edited, and the "WOW!" patch was blurred on the left of Bill's jacket then digitally added to the right side, to give the appearance that it's "the right way round" as the Doctor said. (00:20:15)

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Other mistake: When ET launches all the bicycles into the air, first there's a closeup of Michael, then in the next closeup of Steve as they climb higher he leans back with his arms outstretched, as if he's balancing himself on his bike, and we see Steve's right hand making a fist pretending to grip his handlebar, though he's not actually gripping anything at all, it's an empty fist. (This shot has nothing to do with CGI disappearing issues).

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Other mistake: While ET is pulling the blanket loaded down with small appliances, etc., the TV is playing "Francis Goes to the Races" and when the film's Peter and Frances walk into the stall we hear Frances (the woman, not the mule Francis) say, "Grandpa, what's wrong?" but the subtitles on the DVD (1982 and 2002 versions) read, "Stanford, what's wrong?" and the subtitles on Netflix (1982 version) read, "Francis, what's wrong?" Additionally, when ET pulls the blanket behind the TV, on the TV screen we see Frances join her grandfather and we hear their dialogue, but in the next shot as ET stumbles out from behind the TV very drunk, even though we hear the TV's continued dialogue, what we actually see on the TV screen is a repeat of Frances joining her grandfather again, and then it jumps to the scene of Peter in the stall with Francis.
23rd Mar 2017
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Other mistake: In all the shots of ET wearing the white sheet the two eye holes are about a foot apart, so he could see out of the holes properly, but when Michael finds the white sheet ET had been wearing he lifts the material and we see that the two eye holes are only about two inches apart, which makes no sense. (It was Gertie's sheet that had eye holes so close together).

Wonder Woman (1976)
Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther - S1-E2
Other mistake: After Wonder Woman rescues Steve and another soldier from the burning Old Virginia Stables, in the next shot the textbox onscreen reads, "Shortly therafter in Diana Prince's apartment," but the proper spelling is "thereafter."
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
The New Original Wonder Woman - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Wonder Woman and Marcia are fighting, Marcia's high heel platform shoes change into different shoes, minus the platforms.
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
The New Original Wonder Woman - S1-E1
Other mistake: After Von Blasko has given Drangel his orders Von Blasko wishes him "good hunting," and when it cuts to the shot of the aircraft taking off, we see the backwards number "5" revealing it's a flipped shot.
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Wonder Woman in Hollywood - S1-E14
Other mistake: When Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl are at Bremer's estate to find Steve and Jim, Wonder Girl's lasso hangs either on the left side of her belt or on the right side, depending on the angle of the shot.
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Other mistake: When the two dollar bill engraving plates are being stolen from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving (in reality it's called Bureau of Engraving and Printing), in the closeup of the plates we see the obverse and reverse sides do not look like the images on real two dollar bills of that era (perhaps this was deliberate, but still an error).
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Formula 407 - S1-E12
Other mistake: At the start, the episode's textbox reads, "Fort Frazier Ordnance Testing Facility" with correct spelling, but in the next shot the base's sign reads, "Fort Frazier Ordinance Testing Facility" when it should actually be "Ordnance."
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Other mistake: When Diana and Etta have their picture taken by Wotan in disguise, Diana makes eye contact with Wotan and in the extreme closeup of Diana's eyes we see that Lynda Carter is wearing modern contact lenses under her eyeglasses.
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Other mistake: After Wotan's arrival on the Virginia beach, there are two closeups of Wonder Woman leaping into the air and the "boots" she's wearing aren't actually boots, they are shoes with the high boot part layered over them, and when she's on the beach she's wearing the flat boots.
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Other mistake: In the two closeups of Steve's two dollar bill being held first by Steve and then by Diana, we can read "1963 A" and the name "Henry H. Fowler" Secretary of the Treasury during Lyndon Johnson's administration, as it appears under the red seal, even though this takes place in 1942.
21st Mar 2017
Wonder Woman (1976)
Other mistake: This takes place in 1942, but modern 1970s era cars can be seen behind Wonder Woman and Steve when the attendants are loading Benson into the ambulance. Then again later, when The Falcon's partner creates a diversion and is being shot at by the guard.
