Hellboy picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene in the alley behind the museum where Hellboy first encounters Rasputin, Sammael has its tongue wrapped around Hellboy's arm. When Myers enters and shoots at Sammael, look closely at Myers' hands. Not only does the gun fire without him pulling the trigger, but the gun does not even recoil.

The Ewok Adventure picture

Revealing mistake: There are two Ewoks Wicket's parent is in search of. One of the those Ewoks is climbing down a mountain and the other has finished climbing down. As this happens, look at the Ewok not climbing. As he bends down, half way down his left leg, there is some sort of fold there. This is mainly due to the fact that the Ewok actors wore costumes whilst filming. The fold is coming from the Ewok costume. (00:07:50)

Suggested correction: If you look closely, it is very clear that it doesn't go through the branch at all, but hangs from the side as it should.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Chitty is taking off from the castle, Caracticus looks down at the toymaker and Peter and says, "Bye bye".

Conan the Destroyer picture

Revealing mistake: Conan and his party flee from the temple guards and escape into the crypt, closing the huge stone door behind them.

If you look closely you'll see the torch disappear nicely out of sight behind the wall as if he had "passed" it to someone standing there.
