Apocalypse Now picture

Other mistake: Captain Willard inquires from two soldiers manning a machine gun, "Who's the commanding officer here?" The two can't kill the enemies "out there by the wire" so they ask their friend "Roach" for some help. As "Roach" walks over he turns off a tape recorder playing some Jimmy Hendrix riffs. If you look closely at the buttons of the tape recorder, it was never on in the first place. (01:45:50)

Drunken Master 2 picture

Other mistake: When Jackie is singing in the restaurant and the evil guys tell everyone to leave, there is an old man on the stairs in the background. Two shots later the stairs are shown again and the man is gone. He was walking too slow to have gotten off of the screen that fast.

The Warriors picture

Other mistake: The Rogues stop to make a phone call at a candy store. The meeting in the Bronx was at midnight so it's got to be 2 or 3am. What on earth is a candy store with a little girl working there doing open at that time with nobody on the streets?

The Lady Vanishes picture

Other mistake: Miss Froy writes her surname in window condensation on the train before she is abducted, where it's supposed to have remained visible for hours, which is dubious in high summer. Then it all of sudden disappears as they go through a tunnel, but why would going through a tunnel cause condensation on inside of train window to all of a sudden disappear?

The Black Hole picture

Other mistake: Whilst Captain Holland, Lieutenant Pizer, Dr. McCrae, Bob and Vincent are riding in the ship's transport system, the tube comes to an abrupt end due to meteorite damage. Since the tube is outside the ship, there would be no air left for the humans to breathe, nor could they survive in outer space completely unprotected for long. Plus, they would't be able to hear Bob's statement that they should try the main corridor. (01:17:40)

Escape from Alcatraz picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Frank Morris first starts to dig using the nail clipper, he stands up in his cell, turns off the light then bends down to start digging, however the only light coming into the cell would be on his right, but the shadows from his head and bars appear to be from a light directly behind him.
