Continuity mistake: At the end when Moses reaches out to the tablets, in the first shot he has nothing in his hand, second shot he has something black which at first looks like sunglasses, and in the third shot his hand is empty again.

12th May 2007
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Visible crew/equipment: As the talking trees throw their apples at Dorothy and the Scarecrow, look closely at the upper right hand side of the screen. An off camera crew member is shaking one of the trees back and forth as all of the others stand motionless. (00:40:20)

The Beastmaster (1982)
Visible crew/equipment: When Dar is on top of a mountain, he swings his sword around, and you can see a semi truck drive by on the road below him.
5th Jan 2024
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Other mistake: Dive boat interior, as the tablet is unboxed, there is a clear lens distortion as Indi looks round to his diver friend and the focus follows - giving a disturbing jolt to the image. (01:08:27)
Suggested correction: It just appears to be the result of the movie doing a slightly unconventional rack focus. I don't think that really qualifies as a mistake. If it does count, it opens far too big a can of worms in terms of various camera techniques being considered "mistakes."

Ratatouille (2007)
Deliberate mistake: Main headlines in newspapers appear translated for each country for the kids to understand it, but the rest of the news appear in English, despite the movie taking place in Paris. Also, most signs -such as the poisons in the window shop- have labels written in English.
Suggested correction: By that logic, it's a mistake that the characters speak English. It's an American movie set in France, and like you said, it's a kids' movie. Everything is in English for simplicity's sake.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Visible crew/equipment: Right after the ambulance runs over Arnold's motorcycle a shot of him hanging on the crane hook is shown. You can see the safety cable attached to the left of his belt. (00:33:25)
18th Dec 2003
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where John, Catherine and the Terminator are in the mausoleum getting the guns out of the casket, you can see two "marks" taped on the floor in front of John and Catherine. (I think they were red and green). (00:49:55)
2nd Aug 2005
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Visible crew/equipment: When the Terminator is catapulted into the factory by the tanker truck, wires are visible holding him up (Slow-mo or pause might help.). (01:52:50)

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

1st Jul 2023

Continuity mistake: Dan throws his umbrella and it bounces on the edge of the wastebasket but lands on the floor. When he walks next to the wastebasket the umbrella is now inside.
Suggested correction: It lands on the ground and stays there.
16th Aug 2023
A Man Called Otto (2022)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie, when Otto is holding the baby, the baby's hat is on and off in between shots. (01:48:48)
This mistake seems to be taken from IMDB and reworded without verifying its veracity. What's funny is, there is a shot of the baby without the hat on when Marisol is holding him. When Otto is showing the crib and she says, "I love it."
Visible crew/equipment: Indy is at the nuclear test site and exits the house and comes out front. He knocks over the boy on the bike and air raid siren goes off. Just as he stands upright, in the window with curtains, you can see a reflection of a crew member walking by.
Visible crew/equipment: After everyone has fallen into the water beneath the obelisk and the skull has been retrieved, Indiana is leading everyone out of the water and a prop light can be seen on the big rock spike behind Mutt. (01:40:25)
3rd Jul 2023
The Social Network (2010)
Visible crew/equipment: When Mark first meets the Winklevoss twins, just as they are about to leave, right after one of the twins says, "We row crew," Armie Hammer's face hasn't been added properly and you can see that it's a different actor. (00:22:10)
28th May 2019
King Kong (1933)
Visible crew/equipment: As the villagers are running away, look to the back right of the screen. There is a camera crew member standing and watching. (01:21:40)
10th Mar 2006
Batman Returns (1992)
Revealing mistake: When the clown grabs the Mayors baby, it is obviously a doll. (00:33:10)
Suggested correction: There's no shot of the baby's face or body that reveals he's a doll. When he's abducted it's a real baby we see. The clown then does some flips and quick movements where the baby's face or body aren't seen at all. (We "know" he is a doll, of course, but there's no visual proof of it).
