Continuity mistake: In the first training session, Maverick eliminates both Hangman and Rooster, meaning they should return and do their push-ups and we are shown this, meaning once you have done your PT, that is it for you. However, later in the sequence, both Hangman and Rooster are shown still in the air where Hangman is talking to Rooster about his relationship to Maverick, who has been observing them the whole time.

Suggested correction: Rooster does his pushups after the first sortie, flying with Payback and Fanboy (who made up the rules). Next up are Fritz, Harvard, and Yale, followed by Hangman, Phoenix, and Bob. Omaha, Halo, and Coyote lose next. Then Rooster goes out again but this time with Hangman. Because of their beef, that sortie ends when Maverick tells them to knock it off. Hangman technically didn't get shot down, so Rooster does the last set of pushups by himself. Nowhere is it said the day ends with one set.
Speaking as someone who has worked on pre and post-production on over five hundred films, I must respectfully disagree with this. My point is that the editing has been screwed up, as all the people who were shot down by Maverick stayed down and did not go back up again. We do not see Rooster go up again, so I have to take issue with this.

Snatch (2000)
Other mistake: When Tyrone gets into the car, he accidentally bumps heads with Vincent, who is sitting in the back seat. Robbie Gee's look of surprise is undoubtedly genuine.

Suggested correction: While I agree that this was likely unscripted, if we are just looking within the world of the movie, Tyrone just accidentally bumps Vincent, and Vincent reacts like most people would.

The A-Team (2010)
Other mistake: In the desert base camp, it is supposedly in the middle of the day or in pretty hot weather, but BA's breath can be seen in one shot.

Other mistake: The FBI crest outside the main FBI building is incorrect as it has the words UNITED STATES BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION on it instead of FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
Continuity mistake: In the race between the soldiers and the youngsters in the roadsters, there is a shot of boots on the military vehicle's pedals and the next shot is of sneakers on the same pedals.
