Burn After Reading picture

Other mistake: The date on the surveillance footage from the camera in the Russian Embassy says 01.05.08, implying that it is either January or May (depending on which date notation is being used, American mm.dd.yy or Russian dd.mm.yy). However, it is fall/autumn outside, as there are dead leaves everywhere. And when Katie calls Harry we can see that his cell phone shows 17/9/08. (00:48:00)

The Incredible Hulk picture

Other mistake: Bruce is seen wearing a Polar F5 heart rate monitor in a couple of scenes after Betty gives it to him (such as when he is in bed with Betty) but there is no transmitter strap around his chest, which that model needs in order to pick up the wearer's heart rate.

The Hurt Locker picture

Other mistake: When James is returning to duty in one of the last scenes of the movie, apparently he is arriving in one of two twin-rotor helicopters. As the troops disembark down the rear ramp, they walk across what looks like the shadow of the elevator of a C130 Hercules airplane.

The Women picture

Other mistake: When Meg Ryan is getting out of her black Lexus in front of her house (about 8 minutes into the movie), you can see that it is late in the afternoon by the shadows of the bushes and the trees being cast on the ground. However, she's rushing into the house to throw a 12:30 luncheon. If it were actually 12:30, the sun would be high in the sky and there would be very little shadows cast on the ground. (00:08:20)

Other mistake: When Horton first crosses the bridge he breaks all of the planks. Then at the end when the angry mob goes to get him, they seem to have crossed the fully broken bridge to get to the other side.

Australia picture

Other mistake: In the scene showing Fletcher hanging over the wreckage of an anti-aircraft gun after he was speared, the camera flies up above the gun looking directly down the barrel. The plug welded into the barrel to deactivate the gun under Australian gun legislation can be seen.

The Dark Knight picture

Other mistake: The television that Lau used to communicate with the crime lords was a regular set carried in by Lau's operatives and placed on the table (which didn't have a mic or camera on it), and there were no cameras in the room. So how was Lau able to see/hear/interact with the crime lords? (00:23:10)

Suggested correction: Lau doesn't need to see the occupants of the room in order to talk to them - he just needs to be able to hear them, so the fact that there are no cameras in the room is irrelevant. The microphone doesn't have to be attached to the television, it could be anywhere in the room, including under the table.

Twilight picture

Other mistake: When Bella meets Edward's family, Esme's (Edward's mother) upper forehead (near her hairline) has no makeup, but the bottom portion does. You can see the difference between her pale vampire makeup and her natural skin (which is also shiny).

Other mistake: Judging the angle Teetsi leaps towards Alex at, there is no way that he would hit him in the eye.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe picture

Other mistake: Father Joe says "You brought me to the wrong house", which seems to be a proof of his psychic abilities. However, one does not need to be a psychic to notice the neighboring house all covered with yellow tape reading "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS." (00:22:20)

Transporter 3 picture

Other mistake: During the shoot out on the train, Frank takes cover behind the seats. Needless to say, those seats would never offer any protection against a hail of bullets.
