The Revenant (2015)

Deliberate mistake: At about 1:49 in the movie, Glass is awakened by an attacking force of Arikara, and he fires his single-shot, muzzle-loading flintlock pistol at the nearest one coming at him. Then he runs to his nearby horse and flees, turning back to fire the gun a second time immediately. No reloading and no second gun on his person. It never leaves his hand; he's whacking the horse's rump with it to goad it on as soon as he jumps on it. And then he fires that same gun another time in a matter of seconds. (01:40:00)

Half Past Dead (2002)

Deliberate mistake: Early in the movie someone fires an RPG, and, when he does, they show him comically being flung back through the air by some kind of supposed recoil effect. RPGs are rockets shooting out of tubes with the blast going backwards, so the holder of the tube themselves experiences no recoil.
