Stalag 17 (1953)

Continuity mistake: When Steve sits so Blondie can get the radio, he lifts the pants leg, and you see the bottom of the radio. After a cut scene, there is a close up, the radio is hidden by the pants leg, and Blondie re-exposes the radio.

Stalag 17 (1953)

Revealing mistake: When Manfriedi and Johnson are in the tunnel at the beginning, the second one has a lighter going to light the way. Trouble is, there is no way that the little flame could light the area as it did. Also, the lighter couldn't have provided light to cast its own shadow inside an area that perfectly round, thereby revealing that it was lit with a light close to the camera.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Other mistake: It was interesting that the beer truck didn't continue to run. The rocket blew up the side of the trailer, and the tractor was not affected, so it could have continued to run, like Zeke's garbage hauler after it dumped on the bible salesman's car.

Live and Let Die (1973)

Continuity mistake: When Bond and Solitaire are on the lift where they were put by Mr. Big, look carefully at Bond's watch. The face is concave with the crystal over it. When he uses the cutting function, the whole face is now rounded like a dome.

Goldfinger (1964)

Revealing mistake: When they're in the barn, Bond and Pussy take turns tossing each other in the hay. On her second attempt to throw Bond, he reverses it and throws Pussy. After the camera looks to where she will land, you can see the distinct outline where she had been thrown before.

Goldfinger (1964)

Continuity mistake: When the cube of metal that was the Lincoln comes out, the electromagnet comes in and grabs it as it sits close to the exit. When the camera cuts to a wider shot, the cube is being lifted from a further distance out from the exit.

Goldfinger (1964)

Revealing mistake: When Oddjob throws his hat at the statue and the camera cuts a close up of it, as the hat goes by the head, you can see the seam (in a freeze frame) where the head is propped up by the filler used to disguise the break. Also, the brim of the hat where the blade is, passes about two inches above the break. Therefore, were it possible, the brim doesn't cut the statue.

Dredd (2012)

Continuity mistake: When the punk has the lady hostage in the mall, Dredd takes him out. As the lady calms down, her uniform hat is above her brow line. After a quick cut to a wide shot of her and Dredd, the next close up has her hat down to the bridge of her nose.

Popeye (1980)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, there's a citizen ringing the bell. If you look carefully, the church appears to lit by strong daylight, but it's supposed to be stormy. After the bell ringer is done, the light strengthens as if the ringing awakens the town. The lighting on the church doesn't change at all.

Popeye (1980)

Continuity mistake: When Bluto has the chain around Popeye, he squeezes the can of spinach open. Before he force feeds the spinach, Popeye has his pipe. On the close up, Popeye's pipe is missing. After his mouth is full and before he goes under, the pipe is back in place.

Popeye (1980)

Continuity mistake: The gang of guys that knocked Popeye down and walked over him were the same ones that were moving a piano over the bridge where Popeye found his pipe only a minute before.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Factual error: When the fuel tanker comes over to have Billy drop fuel, he pulls the hose down and plugs it into the tank receptacle. The troubles here are that 1) the hose wouldn't be connected in transit, it would be stowed on the side unconnected. 2) elastic straps are usually employed to keep the hoses secured until the tanker gets to its destination to drop the load.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Continuity mistake: When Wanda is mowed down by the machine gun, she fires the rocket launcher. It was fired at a about a forty degree angle, but the rocket went directly at the beer truck. If you look, the rocket and its exhaust trail disappear about a second before the trailer blows up. Also, there is no impact spot from the rocket.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: After the Bird of Prey blasts "God", it turns to Kirk. After he says "What are you waiting for?" he gets beamed up. He has his arms up in a defiant manner. When he materializes on the platform his arms are mostly by his sides.

Movie Nut

Audio problem: When the Enterprise fire the torpedo, the sound used is the old series sound used when the ship's phasers were fired, not the correct noise for a torpedo firing.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: After getting Spock and Bones beamed up and out of danger, Kirk is running away from "God." As he pauses outside of the shuttle craft, you can see the dark spot where he got zapped is gone.

Movie Nut

Revealing mistake: On Sha-Ka-Ri, after Kirk says "I seek proof", and the camera goes to "God", then back, you can plainly tell it's a stunt double, and see the wire connected to the harness he's wearing to pull him backwards after getting zapped.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: When Bond flies off the snowmobile after the explosion, there is a white mask like fabric over his face. In the closeup, it's gone. (00:03:05)
