Star Trek picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when Kirk is being awarded his medal, behind the Federation Counsel you can see 3 flags in the background- the center flag is the California state flag. After Kirk shakes Pike's hand, and the camera pans up and back, the California flag is hanging significantly different so that it is no longer recognizable, seeming almost blank white.

G-Force picture

Continuity mistake: Watch carefully during the scene where Hurley gets launched by the sprinkler. When Darwin says, "Come on, soggy," as he is walking away, the camera pans back to show Hurley still lying on the concrete, we see little guinea pig footprints in water on the sidewalk. They weren't made by Hurley because he hadn't moved and Darwin had dodged the water and was completely dry. Nor did he walk in the water either.
