Family Guy (1999)

Chitty Chitty Death Bang - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: After the manager of the arcade takes money from other customers and cancels Stewie's reservation, Peter and Chris start walking along a row of arcade machines. Here the background was just copy and pasted over again, as they walk by the same place twice, and start a third time before the scene changes. (00:07:35)

Dying Light

Revealing mistake: When you get the random encounter of Richie, he will start speaking. When he's closed to finished, suddenly his mouth will stop moving with his words for most of what he says, but then start again at a few sentences, only to stop again.

Demon Knight (1995)

Revealing mistake: Larger characters, like Omega and Zavok, have larger frames much bigger than the other characters. However this is not compensated for when they slide under hurtles on some maps. The width of these is only exactly one lane, but these characters are wide enough their arms extend into the surrounding lanes, so they just clip through the sides of the hurdles.

Striking Distance (1993)

Revealing mistake: During the ending boat chase when Jimmy and Tom reach a small waterfall and go over it, their boats ramp up when they go off. There's no reason for them to do this other than stunt ramps put in place. And in several shots they go from nose up to nose down between shots. (01:33:01)

Suggested correction: As they pass under the bridge they enter a part of the river that has concrete dams inserted just below the surface of the water, we see marker bouys warning of the danger and the flow of the river speeds up. When the first boat hits the top of the dam it acts as a ramp launching it into the air and into a lower part of the river. The hull springs a leak because of the impact.

Resident Evil 7

Video

Revealing mistake: Towards the beginning, you find a VHS tape upstairs in the house. Putting it in the VCR plays the tape, but allows you to see the video through he camera man's perspective, by playing as him during the recording. If you press the control button to block, you see the camera man's hands, both arms, come up to block. However the camera he's recording with stays in place. It's a camera that uses VHS so it wouldn't be strapped to his head. He should drop the camera if he lifts both hands like that, but is putting them in front of the camera.

Suggested correction: It's possible it was a non-VHS camera that was transferred to a VHS.

LorgSkyegon

That would make no sense considering the context and situation. This is a 'haunted house' and with this being a Resident Evil game which is a time line set where the end of the world happened in the mid 90's when VHS was still in wide spread use.

Quantom X

Clearly a mistake. For example why would you record something and then transfer it to outdated technology?

Ssiscool

Indeed. And now that I've seen a bit further into the game. Another character gets the same camera and records another message on a tape and leaves it behind for you to find.

SuperFly (2018)

Revealing mistake: When the agent is questioning Fat Freddy after the cop finds him with coke and a gun, she puts a phone up to his face and says "say cheese." She holds the phone up to his face with the screen facing him. You hear the click and beep of the phone taking a picture, but when she turns the phone around, it's still on the locked screen with just the background and a clock. (01:06:45)

Aquaman (2018)

Revealing mistake: When Orm presents the weapons to Manta as a water hologram, Manta walks right through the hologram with half of his body. This arm passes through the hologram made of water and even makes a splash sound. However, there is not a single drop of water on Manta's completely dry clothing after this.

Killing Floor 2 mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Lockdown: In the Med Lab section of the space station, there are plants growing along the walls and the floor in one hallway. If you go past and into the next room, some of the leaves of a bush are sticking through the wall in a clipping error.

Common mistakes

Revealing mistake: Often times in movies when people are watching footage recorded that was supposed to be from the perspective of someone else, ie. from their eyes or recording glasses, or from a camera, it is not shown correctly. Rather than actually showing the images from the first person perspective, it shows camera footage of that person or previous footage from the movie the people are in.

Mandy (2018)

Revealing mistake: When Brother Swan goes to blow on the "horn" (which is actually an ocarina), he toots out a few different notes. However his fingers stay completely stationary on the instrument and not moving around on the holes to change the notes. So it would have been just one sound but it plays like 3. (00:29:25)

5th Passenger (2018)

Revealing mistake: Eve says they need to make sure nobody gets shot, so she picks up Franklin's pistol and takes out the magazine to store them separately. However in this shot the magazine is completely empty with no bullets anyway. (00:53:40)

Reprisal (2018)

Revealing mistake: During the police chase with Gabriel on his motorcycle, he stops and turns to start shooting at one of the cops. By appearances, Gabriel is using a standard Glock which had a magazine capacity of 15 rounds. He has no extensions on it at all with the handle and magazine visible. Yet he proceeds to fire the gun 33-35 times at the cop car without reloading and in continuous fire. (00:57:55)

Skyscraper (2018)

Revealing mistake: As Will and Ben are wrestling for the gun, it goes off, shooting Ben in the chest. When you hear the shot you can see the gun is lying on Ben's chest with him holding it, and it's pointed pretty much at an exact 90° to his side. It would have barely grazed him at best and would have left a long scratch/cut at that angle. Yet as they get up the shot is perfectly centered on his chest and round as if it was a direct shot. (00:24:55)

Common mistakes

Revealing mistake: In driving scenes, the driver of the car usually has very over exaggerated movements of his or her hands on the steering wheel. When in reality you're not moving it that noticeably except a few micro corrections every few seconds or taking turns.

Darksiders

Revealing mistake: The Apocalypse/Mayhem: When fighting Straga, he reaches down into the pit of lava he's standing in and throws cars at you that he pulls from there. Only these cars he pulls out of the lava look perfectly fine, with tires, paint, windows and everything still in tact despite being submerged in molten rock.

Mega Man 11

Revealing mistake: Dr. Wily activates the speed gear in his pod and flies over Auto, Roll, Dr. Light, and Rock to snatch up the robots at high speed. Auto is on the ground on his knees looking up at the other robots behind the group. As the screen is fading to white, just before it finishes, Auto is still visible when suddenly his character model snaps into a standing upright position shivering which is what his position would be after the fade to white disappears and the screen is normal. It seems the developers had intended the fade to white to mask the sudden change in positions of Auto's body, but it was still visible.
