Stark Raving Mad picture

Revealing mistake: Near the end when Gregory is threatening to cut out Ricky's eye with the sharp cutting knife, look at the tip. It's rounded so it doesn't cut Ricky while it's pressed into his socket. An experienced man like Gregory would never leave it that dull.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding picture

Revealing mistake: Near the end when Toula and Ian are in the limo, Toula starts to wipe off her makeup and take off or loosen her wedding dress.

The scene ends immediately after. (01:20:45)

Punch-Drunk Love picture

Revealing mistake: When Barry is arguing on the phone with the Healthy Choices employee, the map on the wall behind him is creased in the Texas/Arkansas area before he punches it there. This could perhaps be the result of a previous take or some sort of indication of where the soft spot in the wall is so that Adam Sandler doesn't really break his hand. (01:00:25)
