Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Bruce goes back to the building toward the end of the movie looking for God and finds it deserted, as he runs through it, you can see the shadow of a figure (a crew member) on one of the columns on the left. It even slightly moves as he's approaching the ladder as if trying to duck away from behind. (01:13:55)

Suggested correction: This is definitely God's shadow. It's exactly where he appears a little later. So it's not a crew member, but a continuity error because Bruce must have seen him when entering the hall.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene toward the beginning where Bruce is doing the cookie line in the mirror, Sam is in the other room peeing on the couch. When the shot changes to Sam, look to the far right and you can see a finger pointing to where the dog should be looking. The dog even appears to be looking straight in that direction. (00:06:40)

Visible crew/equipment: When Bruce is in the diner looking for a spoon, the boom mike drops into view for 2-3 seconds. This happens right before he asks for the spoon. Fixed on DVD.

Visible crew/equipment: When Bruce is in the rain with the blue shirt, you can see his microphone under his shirt about 6 inches below his neck. (01:22:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When Bruce and God were on Mount Everest, there are several scenes where a cross-shaped microphone is visible when they are talking. I'm almost positive this has been fixed on the DVD version. (00:56:10)

Other mistake: Early in the film, Jim Carrey is watching TV during a sports segment. He is watching Channel 7, the station he works for. This clip they showed was of actual WKBW sports director John Murphy. The clip they showed was taken directly from a real WKBW newscast, with the authentic news set, and graphics. However, when they show a clip of Ch. 7 News later, there are completely different graphics, and a completely different news set, both made for the movie.
