Kick-Ass

Revealing mistake: Throughout the movie, people getting shot almost always don't have the shot angles line up with how they appear. This is especially obvious in the end scene with Hit Girl shooting the gangsters: she might shoot someone at an angle from the side, but the shot appears to have come from directly behind the person.

Revealing mistake: In the sequence initially introducing Hit Girl and Big Daddy near the beginning of the film, where Big Daddy shoots Hit Girl in a training exercise, no bullet hole appears in her overcoat, despite her having to unzip it to remove the projectile from her bullet proof vest. In the wide angle shot, padding from the coat is see bursting into the air upon impact as she is knocked back to the ground. In subsequent shots, no bullet hole is ever visible in her coat either. (00:12:55 - 00:13:48)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the film after Hit Girl strikes one of D'Amico's henchmen with two kitchen knives you can see the position of the knives in the henchman's chest change position between shots. (01:41:45)
