Million Dollar Baby picture

Revealing mistake: In some of the scenes where we see Maggie in the hospital bed, you can see that her breathing is not totally in sync with the breathing machine (i.e. her chest goes up before you actually hear the machine blowing air into her).

Animalympics picture

Revealing mistake: When Bolt Jenkins lands right into the Gekko Flakes commercial, the whole scene shifts for a bit. Obviously, the cells got a bit messed up during layering while making the scene.

Joe Torre: Curveballs Along the Way picture

Revealing mistake: Towards the end of the film when the Yankees are trying to close out Game 6 of the World Series you can tell the "real" footage they use is not from the World Series. They are playing the Atlanta Braves in the World Series but you can see the Baltimore Orioles logo on the field in a number of shots.

Madison picture

Revealing mistake: On the morning of the hydroplane race at Madison, Indiana, there's a shot of the Sun rising from behind the horizon. But- the Sun is seen moving toward the upper left. Madison is in the northern hemisphere, so the rising Sun ought to move just the opposite, to the upper right. Undoubtedly it was easier to photograph a sunset and run the film backwards.

Raging Bull picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jake fights in Cleveland, in one shot right before he punches you can see his opponent's mouthpiece is taped to his head so it will fall off making it look like it came out of his mouth. In the next shot he has his mouthpiece back in his mouth.

He Got Game picture

Revealing mistake: Just before Jake is checked into the Surf Hotel, there is a long scrolling shot following the car and shows where Jake's room will be. In particular, there is the Kennedy Fried Chicken sign with one window above 'Chick' and one above the 'K'. After checking into the hotel and the guards leave, we see Jake outside of his window. This shot involves a recreation of the original location because the two windows are now above the 'nnedy' and 'en'. Furthermore, the lights surrounding the sign have changed (some are burnt out or missing, and they don't flash at the same time interval).

Rollerball picture

Revealing mistake: There are two actual games played out: one in Huston and one in Tokyo - the score board has identical faulty light bulbs in both locations.

Varsity Blues picture

Revealing mistake: In the game where Moxon has the 40-yard Scramble (against the Broncos) Tweeder seems to teleport around the field. He starts out on the far side (waving his hands), then has a block on the far side (as witnessed by the close yard marker), the scene cuts and he's on the near side of the field blocking (Moxon runs behind him), then he's on the far side (as Moxon gets up from diving Tweeder is behind him). Some fancy editing going on there.

Mean Machine picture

Revealing mistake: In the opening scene Vinnie Jones is driving the red Mercedes CLK convertible. As the scene switches views of him driving, the view of Vinnie and the car changes in a flipped shot.

Cars picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Luigi offers his service to Van and Minny, Guido is juggling wheels. But when Guido finishes, you can see over his right lift that his one of his wheels is not rendered correctly, as it seems to overstep his bodywork.

The Blind Side picture

Revealing mistake: When they are watching football, the mom walks in and says something to the family while she is holding 4 Pepsi cups in a cardboard cup holder with only one hand. If the cups were actually full, the way she was holding it it would have tipped over.
