Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl picture Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the Black Pearl swings alongside the Interceptor for the battle, Elizabeth shouts, "Fire all!" The next shot is from behind the lit cannon which is aimed at the Pearl and the following shot faces the Interceptor's cannon, as it goes off. In the shot facing the Interceptor, the raw wood scaffolding type beams are perfectly visible at the entire lower part of the screen, where the painted planks (below the gun ports, above the bilges) of the hull should be. (This is only visible on the video version.)

Freddy Vs. Jason picture

Revealing mistake: In the fight scene at the pier, after Freddy and Jason get thrown into the air by the carriage that smacks into them, they land on the pier in sort of slow motion. Watch Jason's left knee as he lands, you can see a kneepad.

Suggested correction: Some buses in the Uk have their engines and radiators in the back of the bus.

Not that one. Sorry to expose my inner geek but that is a 1961 AEC/Leyland Routemaster bus and the engine and radiator were mounted in the front.

The Matrix Revolutions picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Captain Mifune is defending a bridge, alone, and commands "reload", he put the right arm of the APU straight, revealing in the background some sparks that floats independent of the action and stops for a few moments.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie picture

Revealing mistake: Lizzie has black nail polish and the same size of nails throughout the entire movie. Supposedly, Lizzie and Isabella are different people. But, when Isabella comes back, you can see she has the same color nail polish and the same size of nails as Lizzie. I don't think it's just a coincidence.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle picture

Revealing mistake: Just after Madison says to the Angels, "Looks like one of the three amigos has gone adios" and Drew gets thrown by Madison, Drew hits the wall. For some reason, the camera vibrates.

Peter Pan picture

Revealing mistake: At the bank there is a close-up of Mr. Darling with Sir Edward Quiller Couch standing behind him to his right, just as Nana, et al. are about to collide with the bankers. The camera pans in for the extreme close-up of Mr. Darling, who makes a horrified face. Later, when the Darlings are at the party Nana bursts in. Sir Edward again stands to Mr. Darling's right. Mr. Darling puts his hands up in front of himself and the next close-up shot is the very same shot from the bank. Part of Sir Edward's hair is edited and the background is digitally augmented. (00:09:25 - 00:23:20)

Kangaroo Jack picture

Revealing mistake: Any time that Charlie is kicked by the kangaroo, they show him falling back onto the ground. But, if you look closely, they just used the same shot over and over. The exact same two lines in the dirt are to his left by his head each time.

Johnny English picture Johnny English mistake picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the hearse chase, when we first see the bad guys pull a hand-brake turn through 90 degrees in a small London side-street, if you look on the ground you can see the skid marks from what must have been the previous take.

Revealing mistake: In the overhead view of the bus driving across the desert to Camp Greenlake the dust behind the bus is CG, and near the end of the scene the bus moves up in the frame and the end of the dust trail cuts off with a straight line.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World picture Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World mistake picture

Revealing mistake: The Acheron fires many devastating blows on the Surprise and the effect is visible in close-ups and a wide shot. However, after Mr. Mowett yells, "Relieving-tackles on the tiller! You men collect the wounded!" there is another wide shot of the Acheron in the foreground and Surprise in the distance. In this shot Surprise has NO damage whatsoever! (00:11:00)

Timeline picture

Revealing mistake: When Kate, Chris and Lord Arnaud are in the hidden monastery tunnel, there is an explosion that shows them the way out. One of them crawls forward a little and puts his weight down on a big chunk of stone, which flips about like it weighs nothing. It's very obvious that it's a piece of styrofoam rock. A piece of stone that size would not move as freely as this one did from just leaning on it. (01:31:30)

Bulletproof Monk picture

Revealing mistake: At the end when the Monk With No Name has turned old and is walking away from Kar and Jade while waving to them (without looking back), you can see a finger on the left side of the screen covering up the corner and side of the lens. This is for sure in the wide-screen DVD version. (01:37:25)

Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life picture

Revealing mistake: During the scene where Lara and Reiss's henchmen are fighting in the lab with the orb, look closely: the computer monitors in the background briefly flicker (as most monitors appear on camera), indicating they were shot in the background. During the close-ups, this does not occur.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action picture

Revealing mistake: When the Chairman is watching the TV screen where Damien Drake is being interrogated, the man steps in front of the screen and says "he's about to crack," then he walks backwards as if being pulled, but you can tell the moment Damien puts his legs around him, after several steps. So what pulled him back?
