Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within picture

Continuity mistake: Right after Aki saves Gray and turns around to pick up the canister containing the plant off a table there is no table or ledge. If you watch the movie with the commentary one of the members involved with the movie says that it is floating on nothing. (00:16:50)

Ghosts of Mars picture

Revealing mistake: Have a look at the shot of the rear part of the train exploding as the locomotive pulls away from it. If there was ever a more obvious model shot, with cheesy, jerky bouncing toy trains and Action Man (TM) dolls, then I haven't seen it.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Rock is trying to destroy Tima and the factory, the side parting in his hair frequently changes sides.

Wasabi picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Hubert punches the transvestite in the bar and she flies backwards, you can see the wires pulling her. It's hard to see but if you look at the black man in a white t-shirt and black trousers, when looking closer at the trousers you should be able to see the wire moving. (00:02:15)

The Fourth Angel picture

Other mistake: Jack says: "Did I meet him when Bush came over?" The German subtitles read: "Ich traf ihn, als Busch vorbeikam." Busch is German for bush... (00:20:35)

Double Take picture

Other mistake: When Orlando is driving the car (I believe the old beat up car) the gear shift is all the way up in the park position, yet the car is moving.

Yamakasi picture

Revealing mistake: When the Yamakasi and the children are trying to escape from the last house, they break the wall but the shot later, it looks like it has been cut with a chainsaw, or another precise tool.

Continuity mistake: Aaron and Steven are talking in front of 3 human statues. When they begin they are on the left side of the front statue and when they change the angle of the camera they are on the other side of that statue. (01:10:50)

Impostor picture

Continuity mistake: When Spencer escapes from Hathaway, he is barefoot. But after Hathaway shoots at him (and kills a guard in the process), we can see Spencer is wearing a pair of beige socks. A few seconds later, as Spencer runs down a flight of stairs, he is barefoot again. (00:23:40)

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection picture

Continuity mistake: When El Blanco is outside Burt's home, and leaves, there isn't any hole in the ground after him. Later, in the movie, when El Blanco gets underneath the earth, he leaves a big hole after him. Why wasn't it like that the first time?

Critical Mass picture

Revealing mistake: In the first 10 minutes of the film, the terrorists steal radioactive material from "Cyberdine" corporation. Sound familiar? - think Terminator 2. Half of the shots used in this sequence are the EXACT same ones as the ones used in T2. The windows blowing up, the cops taking cover behind their police cars under gunfire, the SWAT van being driven through the building, and finally the helicopter chasing the SWAT van. You even see a shot with the truck full of liquid nitrogen. Perhaps the film ran out of funding partway through shooting.

Visible crew/equipment: When the group of U.S. soldiers is going to a higher position (to attack Germans from the top), a camera and crew are visible on right side of the screen. (00:22:55)

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no tibira picture

Continuity mistake: In Session 24, Faye gets into her aircraft and Ed all of a sudden looks down at Faye, from on top of the roof, and starts talking to her. Look at the back of Ed's shirt, it falls up and goes past her neck and rests at her head, when the camera cuts to a front view, the shirt is above the shoulder line. (00:14:20)

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie picture

Other mistake: When Spike is strolling through the city, at some point he walks by one of those posts pointing to various directions. One of the signs is written in cyrillic characters and, below, we can read the "English" translation: Ruccian Town.
