The Secret Life of Walter Mitty picture

Revealing mistake: When Walter is floating in the water, his shoulders are well out of the water because Ben Stiller was wearing a lifejacket under his shirt. In real life, he'd be up to his neck and have trouble keeping his head above water.

Baggage Claim picture

Revealing mistake: Montana gets a call from Sam who is informing her about Damon Diesel. The camera shows Montana rushing up to the phone which is on the table. When the phone rings it is not on the call screen, it is on the contact page. Shortly after Montana's mother comes and leaves Montana glances at the clock and hurries to call Sam. She raises her phone to her cheek and ask "Sam what's the flight number?" If you look closely, the call is not actually being made as her cheek is pressing different icons on her phone. (00:23:55 - 00:25:40)

Exit to Hell picture

Revealing mistake: Pablo and his buddy are driving through the middle of nowhere, and end up in the bucolic town of Red Stone. The first two people they drive by are armed with machetes. The close-up of the second one is reversed, as shown by the dilapidated street sign - it can't be deliberately shown by say, the car mirror, because they are looking at him turning their head. (00:05:40)

Labor Day picture

The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone picture

Revealing mistake: Close-up views of Billy riding Allie on the mini-bike (trying to escape the men following in the Jeep) did not include the lower half of the mini-bike; they were probably on a platform/trailer being pulled by a car. A 12-year-old (?) boy would have difficulty steering and maneuvering a mini-bike with a rider similar in size/weight and would have undoubtedly wrecked when he turned his body around from the waist up to look in back of him at the tailing Jeep. Billy also kept turning the throttle. (00:25:40)

The Marine 3: Homefront picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jake is about to enter the boat, he is hiding in a trailer so he can sneak up on one of Pope's men. When he jumps up, grabs the pole and stabs him in the chest with it, you can see it doesn't go through his chest, but instead it just goes in between his arm and his rib cage. You have to look closely to see.

The Lone Ranger picture

Revealing mistake: In each one of his scenes, every time you see Captain Fuller you can see that the actor is wearing contacts to make his eyes blue. It's obvious contacts with the brown rings of his natural eyes around them. And contacts were not invented for a long long time after this movie takes place.

Supercollider picture

Revealing mistake: Robin is running away from company investigators. He comes across a supposed wire link fence. He breaks it with his bare hands, and by the flapping of the open piece you can see it is made with strings not wire.

Superman: Unbound picture

Revealing mistake: Just after Superman and Supergirl have their talk about him going after Brainiac, it cuts to Lois at the Daily Planet on her laptop. There is a close up and you can see her fingers on the keyboard. She is typing really fast, but the animation shows her fingers just hitting the same 3 or 4 keys over and over again. (00:20:05)
