Revealing mistake: When Barry has shot the alien in the head at the beach the camera is filming the aliens feet as the blood starts dripping. Then the camera start moving up and when the camera reach the alien's waist level you can see a sudden cut. This is done so the fake alien puppy with half its head gone can be used. (00:03:15)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Derek falls and is rolling down the cliff, it is a very clear dummy. It's legs and arms are in a stiff seated position. (00:23:15)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When the collector gets into his car, he tries to close the car window. Robert puts his hand through the window. The collector manages to close it well enough to trap Robert's hand and takes off in his car. From a camera view outside the car, you can see the window isn't closed enough for Robert's hand to be trapped. (00:29:30)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When the chef swipes the knife, he hits another alien in the chest cutting him vertically. There is already a cut/rip in his shirt, where the chef rips. (00:58:45)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: Derek skids to a stop (on a road which is covered in gravel) - you can see a set of white tire tracks (kind of white skidmarks in the gravel, if you know what I mean) in the exact same place where he screeches to a stop. Multiple takes anyone? (00:59:15)

Revealing mistake: When Derek is about to run over the alien with the machine gun, the alien drops the magazine from the machine gun. You can see he is lifting his little finger revealing that he intentionally drops the magazine. (01:02:30)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Derek kicks the alien which has been cut in half, you can see the ground beneath the alien move making it obvious the lower part of the alien is buried in the ground. (01:03:30)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: After Derek lifts up the carpet in the blue van after running over an alien, he punches in a code on what looks like a code entry panel to grab the chainsaw. Upon closer inspection, he's actually entering the code into a calculator.

Revealing mistake: When Derek awakes on the rock, he obviously headbashes a gull made of wood. It is very fake, may be deliberate (This could be a "deliberate revealing."), but is a mistake nonetheless.

Visible crew/equipment: When the guy falls off the cliff and splats on the rocks below, if you watch it in slow motion, you can just see an orange bucket appear for a few moments which chucks the blood in the air. (00:23:25)
