The Medallion (2003)

Revealing mistake: When Watson is standing over Jackie's dead body and says "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me most, my friend" you can see Jackie reflected in the TV standing ready for his queue before entering the picture. (00:41:55)

The Medallion (2003)

Revealing mistake: When Jackie and Watson are discussing whether it's Jackie or not who's lying on the table, and Watson says "Well it's cold in here" it is obvious they are using a double for Jackie lying on the table. The double's nose is too pointy to be Jackie. (00:42:50)

Revealing mistake: When the tank bursts into the building it fires and Burnett flies through the air landing on a table. It is a stunt double, cause his hair is shorter and darker. (01:09:45)

Revealing mistake: You can see Jorge's hair move, as a hair dryer blows in his hair, right before Ajedrez rams her gun in his head. (01:05:05)

Revealing mistake: When the mariachi wakes up after being tranquilized by the dart, he beats a couple of guys. Then he turns around shooting a guy in his head. If you look closely you can see blood being splattered on his head from the lower right corner. (00:57:40)

Revealing mistake: Watch carefully when El Mariachi says "Then I guess I have no choice but to kill you all" to Cucuy, and he fires a shot. You can see a black outline on the shirt of the guy's shirt who's hit right before sparks shoot out of the place of impact. This happens on other occasions too. (00:51:40)

Freddy Vs. Jason (2003)

Revealing mistake: After Jason has killed Stubbs, we see all the kids in the room looking for Hypnocil. Then we see Stubbs being 'thrown' through the door. However we can see the stunt double come running before going through the door. So he isn't actually thrown. (01:00:10)

Van Helsing (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Velkan and the werewolf has dived off the cliff, we get a shot behind Anna where she is looking down the cliff. It cuts to a front shot of her and back behind her again and you can see it's actually the same scene played over again. You can easily see it on how her hair moves in the wind. (00:22:00)

Van Helsing (2004)

Revealing mistake: At the windmill when the fire reaches the cases with Absinthe bottles the cases explode. Howeverm when the explosion occurs we can see sparks. I'm pretty sure an explosion like this wouldn't produce sparks, so it's obvious the explosion was ignited by some explosives. (00:05:35)

Van Helsing (2004)

Revealing mistake: At the ball when Carl pushes the man spitting fire so that he spits fire on Dracula, you can see Dracula grabbing him and throwing him away. Then it cuts to Van Helsing gliding down on a rope grabbing Anna. When we get to the scene where the camera view comes flying against Anna we can see, on the left, Dracula's shadow when he is throwing the man. As the previous scene where Dracula threw away the man was most likely done with CGI, they forgot to add the man's shadow in this scene. Also in the following scene you can see Dracula throwing, but this time they forgot to add the man in. (01:23:35)

Van Helsing (2004)

Revealing mistake: When Dr. Frankenstein is holding the sword against Dracula, you can see its shadow on the wall to his left. However, when Dracula impales himself with the sword you can see the sword's shadow going through Dracula's shadow at the same time. Whatever the film makers have done, they have forgotten to remove the sword's shadow. (00:03:30)

Revealing mistake: When Trish jumps out the window and falls to the ground you can see her using a body suit covering her from her hips and down her legs. (01:18:15)

Gladiator (2000)

Revealing mistake: After Hagen has been shot and stabbed, as he falls dying to the ground, the pad the arrows are attached to on his back is quite noticeable under his shirt. (02:07:15)

Gladiator (2000)

Revealing mistake: When Proximo is having his speech for the slaves as he says "And as your mothers were there at your beginning" there is a shot of a man throwing a spear at another man. Look at the spear as it flies through the air. It wiggles as if it is attached to a wire. (00:48:40)

Gladiator (2000)

Revealing mistake: During the gladiator battle where Maximus is fighting gladiators alone, there is a particular shot with the gladiator he recently sliced up the stomach on. First Maximus hits him in the face, and you can see blood gutter up from the ground instead of from his face. Then when it cuts to Maximus stabbing him, blood gutters from behind Maximus, when in fact the gladiator is standing in front of him. (01:04:20)

Gladiator (2000)

Revealing mistake: During the first gladiator battle there is a shot of Maximus stabbing another gladiator. When it cuts from behind that gladiator it is obvious that the sword is resting in his armpit before Maximus pulls it out. This happens a few shots after Hagen chops off his fellow gladiator's hand. (00:54:45)

Gladiator (2000)

Revealing mistake: Watch closely during the first gladiator battle as the man who is caught in a net gets charged by a man with a spear and a man with a sword. First the man with the spear stabs him, but when the man with the sword stabs him you can actually see him holding the tip of the sword pointing to the side avoiding to hit him. (00:54:55)

Revealing mistake: After Ali has smashed the front shield of the car it is obvious the window isn't made of real glass. It's made of plastic. (00:32:15)

Wasabi (2001)

Revealing mistake: When Hubert breaks the tooth on the first transexual you can see light reflected on the lacquer covering the real tooth in his mouth. (00:06:40)
