Revealing mistake: In the house at the beginning, when the young girl shoots the leader in the chest from behind, the camera looks at the front and you can see a square outline in the center where the blood pack was set for the shot.

Batman (1966)
An Egg Grows in Gotham (1) - S2-E13
Revealing mistake: A lot of the time, especially in close ups, you can see the line between the bald dome wig and Vincent Price's real skin, as well as the different coloring of skin.

Tremors (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Val drives the dozer to get Rhonda off the water tower, he has the bucket up for her to get down. After she's safe, he drives on, and the bucket is down without his having lowered it.

Addams Family Values (1993)
Other mistake: Toward the end, Pubert escapes the crib and is crawling away from the camera. It can be easily seen that it's an animated puppet due to the even movements. A second later, you see the live baby, and the movements are nothing like a moment before.

Mad Max 2 (1981)
Continuity mistake: In the opening chase, the camera looks at Max, then the goons chasing him. One shot, they're about two hundred feet or so behind him. The next shot, and they're about twenty to thirty feet back, and trying to gain.

Batman (1966)
Continuity mistake: When the Batmobile comes in, there's a turntable it parks on to turn it around. Sometimes it's seen for a moment as Batman and Robin get in, but then it's suddenly gone with no evidence of its existence a moment later.

Batman (1966)
The Thirteenth Hat (1) - S1-E13
Visible crew/equipment: As Gordon goes to the Batphone to alert Batman, the shadow of the camera covers most of him for about a full three to four seconds.

Airwolf (1984)
Continuity mistake: For most of the flight shots, Mace is shown in the right seat. Part way through the chase, he's shown in the left seat, and everything is reversed.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: When "Ralph" has Hawkeye and BJ at gunpoint, saving their lives, the scenery behind them changes several times. Sometimes there's the road and a few trees. Then there's no road and a lot more trees and shrubbery.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Revealing mistake: When Hendershott is shot after shooting the bulldozer, you can see the blood packs used under his shirt.

Robocop (1987)
Question: Other than serving the plot, why were so many elements of his former life left in the now-vacant home? All evidence of the former family would have been removed before showing it to prospective buyers.
Chosen answer: There is no reason except that it is to serve the plot. Normally everything would have been removed by the time the house was put up for sale, but there needs to be some means for Murphy to connect to his past. This is achieved by showing physical objects from his former life to trigger his memory, creating sympathy for the character. This can be considered suspension of disbelief where the audience just accepts something is out of the ordinary for the sake of the story being told.

Robocop (1987)
Question: When Robocop is resting, and dreaming of Boddicker, the monitoring needles, as well as Robocop violently jerking, create a lot of attention-getting noise. Other than possibly serving the plot, why do the techs on duty not notice any of this? Are they possibly that deaf or stupid?
Chosen answer: Some people who work at offices or labs and have little to no work to keep them busy will pretty much lose themselves in thought or conversation. So they would hear very little of anything outside of thought or conversation.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Question: I find it interesting that part of the final chase is against a modified truck on a set of rails. I saw no rails in the wide shots of Bartertown, and no exits for the the truck. So, where was the exit, why use a modified truck for power when it was never cranked, and how did the kid know to be prepared for the truck, or any rail traffic, at all?
Chosen answer: The train tracks would have been covered by dirt for not being used for years. The truck was already cranked, as the engine was source for the generating power and lights. The exit was boarded up and the truck ripped through it. The kids were not prepared, but did observe what the adults were doing and could have been given instructions on what to do.

Star Trek (1966)
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Other mistake: When preparing to go around again, Sulu and Checkov start working their controls. When there is a close up of Sulu's hand, it's obviously a re-used shot of Kirk's hand starting the 30 second count down timer on the Constellation in "The Doomsday Machine" (S2 E6).

Star Trek (1966)
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Revealing mistake: After Kirk shuts down the self destruct, he asks Spock if the ship is heading for Arianas. At one point in the dialog, you can see the display for the self destruct sequence is still on the screen, just not lit up.

Star Trek (1966)
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Revealing mistake: When the camera is close up on Beal's face, you can see a bit of real flesh color where the black and the white greasepaint used didn't quite match up.
21st Jul 2014
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Audio problem: When Master is riding on Max's truck, he says "Everybody, have a good time! Saturday night!" His mouth doesn't match up with the words.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Ironbar is hanging on the outstretched pipe on the right side, the standard with the face alternates between being against the pipe burning, and below the pipe.

Answer: I'm watching it on the computer right now and it says "for sale" not sold, who says everything must be removed prior to selling? I'm not American so it may differ from country to country, but I've been to houses for sale during "inspection dates" and some houses STILL have items not removed probably because they are still living in them or still in the midst of alternate living options, some might need the money of the sale JUST so they can move remember his wife is a widow now and probably can't afford living there no more, where is she gonna get the money to move? Also not all houses I've seen had stuff removed (some did) during my house tours p.s Her husband was gunned down so she can't bare to remove anything yet, but her life is destroyed so she might as well put the house up for sale.
