Terminal Velocity picture

Factual error: Near the end of the film, after Ditch and Krista use the reserve parachute, they fall in a windfarm. The windmills are spinning fairly slowly. After the fight Ditch pulls Pinkwater's parachute out. The wind pulls Pinkwater back towards the fan. Before he gets chopped up there is a shot of the fan blades spinning very fast and powerfully. A light breeze would not cause these blades to spin in this fashion. A hurricane would be needed for those blades to chop up a human.

The Silence of the Hams picture

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the movie, as everyone reveals who they really are, when the girl reveals herself to actually be Detective Putrid you can see a hand reach up behind him and place his hat on his head. It could have been an intentional joke for the hat to suddenly float onto his head, but the hand probably wasn't supposed to be there.

Continuity mistake: When Kersey shoots Vasquez behind him we see the squibs under his shirt make the classic plus shaped holes in that shirt, but every time we Vasquez's body after that there are no holes in his clothes at all and the bloodstains also move between the time he's seen on the floor and the time he's unpacked from the crate he ends up in.

French Silk picture

Continuity mistake: When Claire Laurent and Martine are being interviewed at the beginning of the movie about Reverend Bird's murder, Clair says to the reporter, "I have no comment, now let me by please".

Breaking Point picture

Other mistake: This happens after the scene when Gary Busey and the woman he is helping have a chat on his boat. They walk out on the boardwalk and Gary Busey tries a flamboyant maneuver where he jumps over the railing. If you slow-mo the film or go scene-by-scene you'll find that right after he lands and before the scene cuts Gary Busey yells out in pain. Looking further into the picture, you'll see Gary Busey's legs are almost horizontal before he lands, making for a very painful impact.
