Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie, when Maverick's plane is about to be launched, there is a quick closeup of an F14's nose gear, which is quite obviously not hooked up to a catapult or anything else.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Ronnie visits Brundlefly for the second time we see Brundlefly walking on the ceiling and wall, however his shirt doesn't remain consistent with gravity. This is especially obvious when he pulls his shirt up to show Ronnie his new tumor and then places it back down. The shirt appears to be being pulled up to towards the sky from Ronnie's perspective. (01:07:30)
Revealing mistake: When Lardass pukes on the guy to the left of him, he moves his head prematurely, and you can see that the vomit is coming out of a jet (hose) positioned behind his head. (00:46:30)
Revealing mistake: At the beginning, when Ivan and the two New York businessmen approach the school, the three are seen through a window from inside the school. If you pay close attention to the reflection of the students in the window, you can see that they are in no way doing anything related to what is being heard inside the school. After the class is dismissed and starts to leave, we see Ivan and the two businessmen begin to enter the school, and if you look in the window, the class is still going hard. (00:03:00)
Revealing mistake: It is obvious a dummy was used when Steve is thrown from his easy chair into the kitchen cabinet.
Revealing mistake: When Jim hits the brakes in his stolen patrol car, the two pursuing police cars turn and flip over and over. As they roll, the 'roll cannon' is visible on the underside of one of the cars (a round steel tube in a hole in the floor) and at left, the two cannon slugs from both cars bounce down the road. This device fires the slug downward, and the force behind it lifts the car when the slug hits the road, launching the car over.
Revealing mistake: In this film, you can see where the present-day lines on the basketball court have been sanded off and "50's" style lines added.
Revealing mistake: When Ayla is looking at her "ugly" reflection in the lake she moves her hand down and a second later the reflection moves its hand down.
Revealing mistake: During the fight scene in the village between Elias and Barnes, as they roll around on the ground, Barnes "hits" Elias with a right hook and Elias's head is thrown to the side as if he just caught a serious blow. The problem is Barnes's fist quite obviously clears the front of Elias's face by at least 5-6 inches.
Revealing mistake: Since they used an original game, the Monopoly's box is yellowed, whereas it should look almost new.
Suggested correction: Yes, there were Monopoly boxes of that colour, that's not yellowing at all.
Revealing mistake: When Duckie is showing off on his bike, you can see its not Duckie but his stunt double.
Revealing mistake: When Oliver, soon joined by Oswald, is supposedly in the cage of the tiger that then wounds them each in the leg (offscreen), it is absurdly obvious that the tiger is in fact in an adjoining cage. (01:24:55 - 01:25:45)
Revealing mistake: When Paul Newman is playing in the tournament near the end after Tom Cruise humiliates him by dumping the game, Newman lines up to shoot the 2 ball. The point of view shot shows his detailed reflection on the ball's surface. If you look closely at the bottom right side of the ball, you can see that the "reflection" of his shirt exceeds the outside boundary of the ball.
Revealing mistake: In the hut in the swamps Zack lights a candle. The resulting light is obviously from a spotlight because the flame and the shadows are perfectly still. (01:09:30)
Revealing mistake: When Sean Connery and the others are examining the corpse found in the water, the dead body's eyes blink. (01:01:05)
Revealing mistake: When Papet peers through a telescope, it's obvious that the lens cap is on.
Revealing mistake: As Sgt. Highway turns the dead body with a cigar in the pocket you can see its right arm move to avoid twisting. (01:38:05)
Revealing mistake: In the taxi scene Ferris' dad is reading a newspaper. On the front page is an article with the headline "Community rallies around sick youth." As the camera zooms in it's a fake headline to a real news article. The news article begins, "A Chicago policeman killed himself today after he... a Park Ridge office and... workers with a... revolver as he searched for his estranged wife who was hidden beneath a desk by a fellow worker".
Revealing mistake: When Eddy's mother is lying dead on the bed, she is breathing.
Revealing mistake: When the bully's held up by Sam wires can be faintly seen.
