Continuity mistake: Sailor Ripley and Bobby Peru are robbing the Feed Store in Texas. Bobby says "Say cheese" shooting one of the two men. We can see that his right hand is blown off.

I Love You to Death picture

Ghost Dad picture

Factual error: When Bill Cosby (as a ghost) goes to the doctor and the doctor checks his heart (which is not beating), Bill Cosby then presses play on a tape recording of a sound of a beating heart. The doctor hears this through the stethoscope, even though the tape recorder is behind Bill's back, which is not possible.

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III picture

Deliberate mistake: After Ryan and Michelle finish changing the flat tire and are surprised by Leatherface, he chases Ryan around the back of the car and smashes the windshield. At the moment the camera is in the backseat shooting out, we see the chainsaw with the chain popped off and hanging. My best guess is that it was done intentionally (for safety reasons) because the saw was close to Ryan. The crew must've been too lazy to completely remove the chain and just popped it off the track instead. (00:25:25)

Green Card picture

Plot hole: Georges repeatedly tells immigration officers about his Africa trips. This overlooks that fact that INS would have or request a copy of his passport to process his case. In real life, INS would have realised immediately that the Africa story was not real: no entry/departure stamps in his passport.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show Damon throws his mic to the floor, and it cuts to a close-up of the mic breaking apart in to several pieces. In the next wide shot the mic is lying intact on the floor. (00:55:45)

Bride of Re-Animator picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the film, where West and Cain are re-animating dead soldiers, one of them tries to kill West. So, he shoots him in the head. It's obvious that West's gun doesn't fire, and the soldier just pretends like he's been shot.
