Saw (2004)

Trivia: According to the DVD commentary, during one of the shooting days on the bathroom set, someone put pins in Cary Elwes' and Leigh Whannell's shackles to close them, but they were slightly too thick. This meant the shackles could not be undone without force, so the actors had to eat lunch on the set, chained to the wall.

Other mistake: When the airship crash lands in the garden at the end of the film, D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis and Constance are all still aboard, along with the Queen's diamonds. However, only a minute or two later, the Queen emerges wearing the perfectly polished diamonds, and Constance is behind her, her hair, dress and makeup impeccable. This could not have been achieved in the time between the ship crashing and then.

Deliberate mistake: The shot of Ardeth and his companions watching Rick leave Hamunuptra at the start of the film is reused again when Rick, Evie, Jonathan and the Warden re-enter Hamunuptra, although the reused shot has a blue filter over it. Ardeth even says exactly the same line he says in the original shot, but it is subtitled differently.

Sucker Punch (2011)

Revealing mistake: When Sweet Pea, Rocket and Blondie are sitting in front of their mirrors and discussing how Babydoll saved Rocket from the cook, the camera starts behind them, pans to the left, through the mirrors and out the other side. Before the camera passes through the mirrors, if you look closely at the girls' backs, you can see that they are slightly out of sync with their 'reflections'; it is obvious they used doubles to sit with their backs to the camera and copy the actual actresses.

Zombieland (2009)

Other mistake: When Columbus is face-to-face with the clown zombie, he looks up at Wichita, who is on the ride, stuck at the top of the tower. Columbus looks almost straight up at her, but when Wichita looks to Columbus for help, she should look almost straight down, but instead she looks straight ahead. There is no other reason why she would have looked straight ahead because a) Columbus was directly below her, b) Little Rock and Tallahassee were to her right, and c) she almost perpetually had her eyes on the zombie climbing the tower towards her.
