Ella Enchanted picture

Revealing mistake: During the wedding scene, while the narrator is talking, you can see the string that will pull the left table apart. As said in the commentary, the filmmakers weren't going for the idea of people pulling the tables apart, but rather some other force parting them. (01:27:40)

Kung Fu Hustle picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the movie, when the axe gang leader is finishing off the now-one-legged man, you can see in his shadow that he's not hitting the man. Also, if he did hit, you should think that he'd have to pull out the axe blade again, but again in the shadow's arm movement, you see him move his arm in a circular movement, not hitting the victim.
