Shutter Island (2010)
Continuity mistake: The lighthouse shown at 0:16:29 has more fences around than the same lighthouse shown at 1:20:00. The characters are also looking and pointing up to the lighthouse a long way away and lower down than they should be.

Runaway Train (1985)
Audio problem: At the end of the movie, after Manny has disconnected the locomotive from the rest of the train which is slowing down, when it stops we can hear it screech. It shouldn't as the train slows down naturally without the help of the breaks, which additionally, as it had been mentioned (by the woman), are not working. (01:45:30)

Chosen answer: Trains that shuttle back and forth on shorter stretches don't usually turn around at the terminus. They simply go "backwards". So, in one direction the loco is in the front, on the way back it's at the end of the train.
