Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the final showdown after Peter knocks White down, his team rushes on to congratulate him. At first the court is clear behind Peter, but when the team rushes on there are a lot of balls behind him. In the same scene, there is a large, black box with skulls and crossed bones on it that isn't seen in the wide shot. (01:19:30)

Escape to Athena (1979)

Continuity mistake: Following the shoot out between the Germans and the Greek partisans being aided by the English and American POW's, a German Officer leaps onto a motorbike and takes off into the narrow streets of the village. An American follows on a motorbike and sidecar. Towards the end of the chase the bikes 'jump' over a cart. The German Officer's cap flies off, yet as he tears into a courtyard he has his cap back on.

Escape From L.A. (1996)

Other mistake: Snake is taken to the sports arena. We see a man in a basketball court racing a timer to score hoops. He fails miserably and is riddled by dozens of gunmen stationed all around the court. The crossfire would have killed more than just the unlucky basketballer. (00:56:05)

King Arthur (2004)

Continuity mistake: The knights reach the outpost beyond the wall. One of the knights reports to Arthur that the Saxons are approaching. During the exchange he's shown with his hair pushed off his face, then its covering one side of his face, then its off again.

Army of Darkness (1992)

Deliberate mistake: Ash's car breaks out into the courtyard and the whirling, windmill thing batters the Deadites aside. We see the carnage a couple of times filmed from different angles, one Deadite, planted, legs apart, gets battered twice and the guys who come in from the left and are quickly jerked off screen are shown again seconds later.

Troy (2004)

Continuity mistake: Achilles stabs Hector in the chest in their climactic battle. Hector, dying, falls to his knees and falls onto his right side with his arm underneath him. Achilles goes to his chariot and returns with a rope. Hector now has his right arm stretched out with his head lying on it. (01:01:45)

Troy (2004)

Deliberate mistake: Looking from the left side of the wooden horse at the temple which is being plundered and burnt, a soldier is stabbing a citizen in white robes in the middle of the steps. A second soldier chases another citizen in white past him on the right. Then moments later the same shot is seen from the right side of the wooden horse. Obviously, two cameras filming the same scene. (02:22:30 - 02:23:35)

Continuity mistake: McReady drives back from the farm and gets rammed/chased by E. Borgnine. During the chase, Borgnine's car loses a headlight, which reappears at the end of the chase and again when he's parked back in the town.
