The Rocky Horror Picture Show picture

Revealing mistake: When Rocky climbs the RKO tower, he carries lifeless Frank-N-Furter on his back. In the wideshots facing the stunt doubles' backs, while Rocky has both of his hands on the tower, the very much dead Frank-N-Furter has his right arm firmly around Rocky's neck to hang on.

Jaws picture

Revealing mistake: When the shark bursts through the window of the cabin, in each of the shots facing Brody, including when he shoves the air tank into the shark's mouth, the glistening water is visible in the window's reflection behind Brody. The shark's reflection is never seen behind Brody, despite the shark's massive size in the small cabin. Bruce must have had the day off during Roy Scheider's takes. (01:58:00)

The Return of the Pink Panther picture

Revealing mistake: The newspaper says that the Pink Panther was stolen on 24th January. The scenes of Gstaad, in the Swiss alps, were obviously not filmed in January. The temperature in Gstaad gets up to about 5°C/41°F in January yet people are shown wearing light clothing with bare arms. (00:53:05)

Breakheart Pass picture

Revealing mistake: The caboose and two bunk cars are uncoupled and sent rolling down the hill, with troops locked inside. As the cars roll off a cliff, troops can be heard yelling. However, as the cars hit the ground and shatter into rubble, the wood does not appear to be blood stained, nor does there appear to be any sign of bodies in the debris. The cars were obviously empty for the scene, and given the circumstances of the soldiers allegedly trapped within them, it's unlikely that any of the soldiers could've gotten out in time.

Revealing mistake: When Hettie drives her motorbike up to the café for the first time, you can see the horse and cart in the background zoom across the frame - because of the film being sped up at that moment.

However, the glass noticeably breaks before Barry even throws it.

Hard Times picture

Revealing mistake: Establishing shots of the party where Chaney will fight Pettibon's guy; when we see the band play and people dance, the footage is rather obviously stopped and reversed to give the impression of a longer shot (evidently they had too little usable film of the crowd dancing). (00:31:00)
