Donnie Darko picture

Revealing mistake: When Gretchen gets run over, you can tell that a dummy was used as the car's wheels pass over her. The position of her head changes between shots and her body seems a little too still for a living person who's just been run over. She should have been tossed a few feet or maybe even gotten caught under the car's wheels.

Suggested correction: Cyrus was an occultist, it is presumed that this video was haunted. That can also explain why he answers what they key is for in the video after someone asks what it's for.

This theory does not hold up because Cyrus is alive. He's just been wearing a prosthetic neck piece with a popped blood pack in it to appear as a ghost the whole time, in case he's seen walking the house during the plan.

Revealing mistake: At 1:20:25 - Just after Joe and Bobby have returned to the plane to pick up the gold, we see 2 ground crewmen walking across the front of camera. One of them stares directly at the camera for a half-second, before shaking his head away, so as not to look like he's staring at the camera. (Danged extras. .). (01:20:25)

Revealing mistake: When Jack breaks into the Albert Dock Road building where the hijackers have their hideout, he enters through a wire-mesh-reinforced roof window. From below you see that he hits it once, causing a huge shower of big glass pieces (as if there were no wire mesh), and then the whole, almost intact pane comes down as if the mesh hadn't been connected to the frame. (00:29:55)

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.
