The Wrestler (2008)

Corrected entry: In the barbed-wire/staple-gun match, the hillbilly character ends up with a $5 bill stapled to his forehead over his left eyebrow. But when we see him in flashback stapling it, it's much closer to the center of his forehead.

Correction: The stapling was real. The wrestler's name is Necro Butcher and he only did it one time.

The mistake is valid. When he is shown stapling the bill into his forehead, the staple is around his glabella, near the inside corner of his left eyebrow, but when the doctor is removing the staple, it is higher up on his forehead and closer to the outside corner of the eyebrow. He may have only performed it once on camera, but that doesn't mean he didn't do it again for the sake of continuing to film the scene at different times.
