The Avengers mistake picture

Continuity mistake: For a brief moment during the battle at the end, the scar on Tony Stark's left cheek vanishes after saying "I will, roger that" to Hawkeye. It reappears shortly afterwards. (01:54:15 - 01:54:55)

Paul (2011)

Trivia: The shot of Graeme and Clive investigating the car crash with their lights on their heads is almost identical to some shots from Alien where the cast are investigating the alien planet.

Paul (2011)

Trivia: The dog at the beginning of the film looks up. This is in reference to Pegg and Frost's characters arguing about whether dogs can look up or not in their film Shaun Of The Dead.

Paul (2011)

Trivia: The music being played at the bar that Graeme, Clive and Ruth go to is the same song being played in the Mos Eisley Cantina scene in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Deliberate mistake: Despite being squeeze toys, the Little Green Aliens couldn't possibly have got their feet stuck between the two dumpster lids because both the lids are closed after Big Baby throws Lotso in and the gap between the two dumpsters is far too small for any of the toys to get stuck between. Lotso certainly didn't lift the lid off-screen, we would have heard him do it.

Wrong Turn 4 (2011)

Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning of the film, where the group are getting ready to go snowmobiling, Kenia and Sara start talking about Porter. During this conversation, a boom mic and pole are reflected in the window of the car directly behind Kenia. (00:13:50)

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Factual error: In the scene where Captain Vidal's dinner guests arrive in the rainstorm, Vidal's men are using automatic umbrellas which weren't invented until the 1960s. The film is set in 1944. (00:38:20)

The Amazing Spider-Man mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Peter is told that the thief that killed Uncle Ben has a star tattooed on his left arm, the way the thief steals the money from the cash register is slightly different from the first time we saw him do it. The scene was re-filmed. (00:44:30 - 00:46:40)

THGhost

The Amazing Spider-Man mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Peter is looking through his father's file in his bedroom, Uncle Ben comes in and starts playing with a Rubik's cube from Peter's desk. When he sets it down, the top and middle row are red and the bottom row is white. Shortly afterwards, when Peter is researching Doctor Connors on his computer, the top and middle rows are suddenly white and the bottom row is red (not fully solved, as another listed mistake claims).

Megamind (2010)

Deliberate mistake: When Metro Man flies towards the observatory to save Roxanne, we see a typical "the-characters-see-what-the-audience-sees" shot - a Super-Man-esque shot of him with his arms stretched out in front of him with his fists clenched. This shot is then projected onto a monitor that Minion is watching. It would be impossible to achieve this. It's as if there's some sort of camera on top of the observatory filming Metro Man, which there isn't. We see the observatory enough times to see that there isn't, and even if there was, the angle at which it would need to be at would be impossible to achieve. The shot of Metro Man on the monitor is positioned right in front of him, panning backwards. A camera would need to be very long to achieve this kind of shot, but there simply isn't one present.

THGhost

Revealing mistake: When Sarah, Rios and Juno are fighting the Crawlers at the end of the movie, Rios beats one of them to death with a rock and kicks its head open. The head is clearly made out of rubber or some sort of prosthetic.

Cube (1997)

Revealing mistake: When Kazan lowers himself into the blue sound-activated room that is rigged with metal spikes, the set cube wobbles from left to right, spoiling the illusion that the cube is made out of solid metal.

Batman Returns (1992)

Revealing mistake: There is a shot of Batman driving the Batmobile around town late at night looking for The Penguin. In this shot, look at the cars parked at the side of the road. They are miniatures as well as the rest of the shot.
