The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

Plot hole: When Clary uses the rune that temporarily freezes the demons, the group just slowly creeps past them to escape rather than destroying the demons when they're are completely helpless. When the rune wears off, they begin fighting and killing the demons again.

Revealing mistake: When Jace and Clary are on the spiral staircase in the conservatory, the automatic overhead sprinklers go off. Even though the (CGI) water spray can be seen falling all around them and they are not under any cover, they are obviously not getting wet, their hair and clothes staying perfectly dry. When the scene cuts to a different viewpoint, there are some water spots on Jace's back, but they are in an odd pattern and only in a small area, not all over his light-colored shirt, which is dry. As they are walking back to Clary's room, both are still completely dry and the wet spot on Jace's back has disappeared.
