The Iron Lady (2011)

Other mistake: In the scene where Margaret is wearing a bright-blue dress and a woman is sewing a button onto it while about six men stand around and wait, the woman finishes sewing the button on, but keeps on going, even though it's fixed. The whole thing takes ten times longer than it should.

The Mortal Storm (1940)

Other mistake: It's the Professor's 60th birthday and the candles on his cake must be the trick type - they keep going out as the cake is carried into the room, but they quickly come back on again. But when it comes time for the Professor to blow them out, there's no problem - he blows them out easily.

Other mistake: In Colombia, a heavily camouflaged soldier goes into a hangar and places a bomb on it and rushes out before it explodes. On his way out, he passes another soldier who is lying as close to the ground as possible. In front of this soldier is a line of fine wire, right in front of his face. The only thing I can think of for that wire being there is as a marker for the actor.

Other mistake: After David Warner kills a man with his long thin sword, he pulls the sword out and puts it back in its scabbard, but there's no blood on the sword or anywhere.

Hellboy (2004)

Other mistake: At the train tracks, before Abe enters the water, he turns his blue locator off, but, later, one of the agents blue lights goes on and he says "Hey, it's Abe." But Abe doesn't turn his locator on until he leaves the water, injured and in need of help.

Other mistake: In Tiffany's converted garage, Tiffany says she's thinking of putting in a ballet bar, but there's one there already right next to the big mirror, where it's supposed to be.

Dolores Claiborne (1995)

Other mistake: While Joe is hanging onto a piece of wood, to stop himself from falling into the very deep disused empty well, the eclipse across the sun goes back and forth and back and forth and Dolores looks straight at the sun, which she wouldn't be able to do for more than a second.

Rebecca (1940)

Other mistake: When Maxim and the girl are in the beach cottage after a ship has run aground, Maxim sits in a black chair right next to a lamp that is covered in cobwebs - the place has been empty for more than a year; no-one has cleaned it or been in it, except for Ben, the weird one - but when Maxim sat in the chair, there was no dust rising up and there's not a cobweb to be seen.

Rosemary & Thyme (2003)

And No Birds Sing - S1-E1

Other mistake: When the girls see Dan in hospital, his IV is dripping, but in another shot we can see that the wheel on the IV that controls how fast the IV is dripping is turned off; it's right at the bottom, so it can't be dripping.

And No Birds Sing - S1-E1

Other mistake: When we see Sam driving, not once does he turn the steering wheel, not even a centimetre, and not when he has a heart attack and collides with a truck.

Julie & Julia (2009)

Other mistake: Just before Julie gets a message from her mother on her blog, we see Julie typing, but she never hits the space bar.

kh1616

Other mistake: After her mother dies, Daisy puts her head in the oven and turns the gas on by turning the red button clockwise - we can hear the gas. But then someone is at the door, she turns the red button clockwise again, not anticlockwise, and the gas shuts off.

Flight (2012)

Other mistake: Before the plane goes berserk, Whip decides to level off, to reach good air, but the altimeter keeps rising and the co-pilot is sitting at an angle, as he would if the were still climbing, but Whip is sitting in a level position, as he would if they were levelling off.

Other mistake: The remaining crew of the Betty, plus 2 others, have to swim 90 feet underwater. This they do, but once they are out of the water, the only one who is wet is Winona Ryder.

kh1616

Other mistake: At the very end, in the helicopter, Gene Hackman is wearing a full helmet with a mouthpiece so he could hear and talk to the people in the helicopter and back at the ship; Owen Wilson is not wearing a helmet or a mouthpiece. There is no way Owen Wilson could hear what Gene Hackman is saying and vice versa. Battle helicopters are very noisy; you must have a helmet to hear and a mouthpiece in order to speak to be heard.

Julie & Julia (2009)

Other mistake: Meryl is renowned for her accents. But in this film, her accent comes and goes, for example, when she's sitting for her second exam for cordon bleu, her accent is gone completely.

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Other mistake: When Laura is directing the planting of a very large palm tree, she says something in Spanish and points to her left; but the man installing the palm moves it to the right - the exact opposite - but suddenly it's perfect.

kh1616

The Tree of Death - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Malcolm is found dead with an arrow in his chest, the arrow is pointing down at an angle, which means it came from someone high up, but, later, we find out it came from someone of around the same height and standing on the ground, not high up on a ladder, or on a rooftop, which it should be, to get that angle.
