Double Jeopardy (1999)

Revealing mistake: When Libby is escaping Travis at the art gallery, she backs her truck into his rental car, slamming it out of the way, then rams into it with the front end, hitting it hard on its side, toppling it. As she takes off, she swerves and smashes a curbside phone box, knocking it over before driving off. After all this, her truck shows virtually no damage to the front or the back, not even a broken headlight or taillight.

Roseanne (1988)

Of Ice and Men - S5-E11

Revealing mistake: Roseanne brings a heating pad for Dan's sore derriere after he plays hockey with D.J. After placing the pad under him, she turns it on, but it's not plugged in to anything, there's no extension cord, and an electrical outlet is some feet away.

Revealing mistake: During Sebastian's aerial act where he performs without a safety net, he misses the trapeze bar and falls. It's obvious that he lands on a recessed safety air cushion disguised to look like solid ground. It deflates slightly just as he hits it, and the shot quickly cuts away.

Revealing mistake: When D'Artagnan and Rochefort are sword fighting on the frozen pond, both fall through the ice in separate places. As each one flails about in the water, it's obvious that the broken ice pieces are Styrofoam. It also appears that what is supposed to be snow covering the ice is ground up Styrofoam, too chunky to be real snow.

Roseanne (1988)

The Dark Ages - S5-E3

Revealing mistake: When Dan calls Becky, there is a shot of her and Mark in their Minneapolis apartment. This is the exact same set that is used later for Darlene's Chicago apartment when she goes to college. The fireplace shape and style, the wallpaper, position of the bathroom door, and the windows are exactly the same. The only difference is that the Darlene version looks shabbier.

Malice - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: Angelica and the other children are about to crash through the door to attack Lyra and Will. As Lyra runs past a cabinet, a lamp sitting on top is knocked over and crashes to the floor. Dafne Keene, who plays Lyra, reached over and very obviously pushed the lamp to the floor.

To Catch a Thief (1955)

Revealing mistake: Foussard is killed and his body dropped off the cliff into the sea. There is a close-up shot of his head and torso, facing upward, that is supposed to be underwater. However, the actor is obviously not in water. His hair, that should be floating loosely around his head never moves and appears to be held in an outward position by stiff hair gel. Some type of "special effect" filter is layered over the entire shot to simulate water rippling over the corpse.

Revealing mistake: When the officials arrive at the Talbot family tomb to investigate the recent events, they find the crypt door unlocked. As they start to enter, the door opens on its own. When the camera cuts to an angle from inside the crypt, a thick cord can be seen pulling the door open.

Revealing mistake: During winter at the cabin, several of the kidnapped girls are doing chores. As they are about to go back inside the cabin, the long icicles hanging on the porch eaves can be seen swinging loosely when they should be frozen in place.

Cast Away (2000)

Revealing mistake: When Kelly is copying her dissertation, there is no paper being fed through the copier feeder or any printed pages going into the output tray. (00:12:40)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Watch carefully. When Kelly turns round, you can see, by her right hand, paper coming out of the copier and landing in a pile on top of each other.

Ssiscool

Have to disagree. Watched this clip on YouTube. There is paper on top of the copier and in the feeder. Even though the copier light is moving back and forth, the paper stays stationary.

Revealing mistake: When Dutton, Hall, and Stone are undergoing the first level of decontamination, they walk into the treatment area while completely nude. When the distorted shapes of their bodies are seen on a thermal imaging screen, you can tell that Hall is wearing briefs, even though they are supposed to have no clothing on whatsoever during the decontamination process.

Sex and the City (1998)

I heart ny - S4-E18

Revealing mistake: Just after Big has left NY for good, Carrie leaves his apartment and is walking down the street. A leaf (that another mistake pointed out was digital as it was falling to the ground) is lying on the sidewalk. Carrie picks it up, but it is obviously an artificial one made from plastic and fabric.

Revealing mistake: Whenever Ralph is driving Travers in the limousine and the exterior of the car is seen in a long shot, there is no one riding in it other than the driver. From every view point of the windows that can be seen, there is no passenger inside where Travers is supposed to be seated.

raywest

Revealing mistake: Early on, after Clary blasts the demon with a homemade explosion that blows a huge fireball across the kitchen and blasts out the window, there is no sign of anything being burned, not even the curtains. The kitchen is only in a slight shambles and there are small fires burning in isolated areas that never spread or char anything.

Revealing mistake: When Jace and Clary are on the spiral staircase in the conservatory, the automatic overhead sprinklers go off. Even though the (CGI) water spray can be seen falling all around them and they are not under any cover, they are obviously not getting wet, their hair and clothes staying perfectly dry. When the scene cuts to a different viewpoint, there are some water spots on Jace's back, but they are in an odd pattern and only in a small area, not all over his light-colored shirt, which is dry. As they are walking back to Clary's room, both are still completely dry and the wet spot on Jace's back has disappeared.

Terra Nova (2011)

Vs. - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: Dr. Shannon identifies the skeleton as being a middle-aged male, but the skull is female. A male skull has a more pronounced ridge over the eye orbits, a sloping forehead, a longer mastoid process, and the skull widens at the back, unlike a female's that is more parallel.

Revealing mistake: When Harry walks across the frozen pond, both in his shoes and when he is barefoot, there are no footprints left on the ice. The pond is covered with a light snow, that Harry brushes away to see the Sword of Gryffindor beneath the frozen surface. The snow would show any tracks.

National Velvet (1944)

Revealing mistake: When Velvet and Mi are talking to the jockey in the pub, there is a blackboard behind him listing the menu. However, all the writing is backwards. The film negative apparently got flipped, in this print at least, resulting in a reversed image. This is the only scene where reversed lettering is seen.

Revealing mistake: The morning after Ronnie and Roy's big fight, Roy starts cleaning up his clay "sculpture." Before he pulls its upper portion off, you can see the pre-made seam (which is poorly disguised by the clay) where the top is attached to the bottom. When he tears it off, the lower portion is perfectly smooth and flat on top (simulating Devil's Tower) where it was obviously pre-cut.
