Suicide Kings picture

Revealing mistake: During the flashback scene where Max is describing the night of the kidnapping, the rainfall at the marina is obviously fake. The "rain" is being blown at an odd angle from an off-camera fan, and the surface of the water is practically still with no raindrops. (00:40:50)

Revealing mistake: After Littlefoot and Cera's fight, Cera's dad says that each herd is on its own. This shocks the little dinosaurs and they gasp. Notice in this shot that though the dinosaurs move, their shadows don't. Petrie doesn't even have a shadow.

Drive picture

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film, when Dacascos is fighting that other guy from Hong Kong, if you watch just after he does this smart kick, the guy's actually an Asian stunt double, and a lot shorter than Dacascos (best seen on the DVD putting it in slow motion just before).

Inventing the Abbots picture

Revealing mistake: The background scenery in the outdoor shots doesn't look anything like Illinois, where the movie's supposed to be set. It's much more like what you'd see in California - where the actual filming took place.
