He Got Game (1998)

Revealing mistake: Just before Jake is checked into the Surf Hotel, there is a long scrolling shot following the car and shows where Jake's room will be. In particular, there is the Kennedy Fried Chicken sign with one window above 'Chick' and one above the 'K'. After checking into the hotel and the guards leave, we see Jake outside of his window. This shot involves a recreation of the original location because the two windows are now above the 'nnedy' and 'en'. Furthermore, the lights surrounding the sign have changed (some are burnt out or missing, and they don't flash at the same time interval).

Nuns on the Run (1990)

Revealing mistake: While running away from Morley and Abbott and the Triads, there is a shot where Charlie and Brian take cover behind a red car. This single shot is the amalgamation of two different shots because the camera suddenly jerks to the side, as seen by the position of the "Priority Avenue" sign in the background.

Nuns on the Run (1990)

Revealing mistake: During the robbery of the Triads, Charlie and Brian put a bomb in Abbott and Morley's car. In the shot of the car blowing up, the car is parallel to a brick wall. However, there was no brick wall near the car when Abbott and Morley parked it.

Nuns on the Run (1990)

Revealing mistake: Near the beginning of the film, when Charlie and Brian steal the Honda there is a shot where Brian says "Charlie, slow down, think". By comparing the view outside of the car window in this shot to the surroundings of the previous and subsequent shots, we can see that it was filmed out of sequence, and in a different part of the parking lot.
