New Jack City (1991)

Revealing mistake: When the crack house has been shut down and they're having a meeting to find out what went wrong, Wesley Snipes stabs one of the crew in the hand with a small sword. But the next shot (just for a split second) shows the sword in the table with his hand next to it, not stabbed. A couple of cuts later the sword has been pulled from the table and the apparent victim is in considerable pain. (00:56:00 - 00:57:00)

The Dark Knight (2008)

Revealing mistake: The Lamborghini Murcielago that Bruce Wayne drives changes from a real Lambo to a fake one - in the long shot (down an alleyway) showing the Lambo at the end of the street, It's obvious the wheel base is too short and the ride height is too high. It makes no sense why they would use the fake Lambo in this shot, as the car doesn't get damaged until later in the film. (01:46:00 - 01:51:00)

Serpico (1973)

Audio problem: When Sepico and Lombardo are in the chief of police's office, when the camera shows the wide shot with the chief looking out of the window, you can hear Lombardo talking but his lips are not moving. (01:47:00 - 01:48:00)

Prince Avalanche (2013)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film you can hear a kettle whistling. But when Alvin removes a teapot (not a kettle) from the heat the whistling stops, but when he puts in back on the heat about 5 seconds later there is no whistle. Alvin doesn't remove a whistle cap or turn off the heat. (00:02:30)

Blue Jasmine (2013)

Revealing mistake: When Ginger and Augie get into the limo nearish the start, it's obvious the street has been closed for the filming of the limo driving down the street because the limo driver goes across a red light. You can't see the red light directly, but you can see the green light on the opposing street.

A Single Shot (2013)

Revealing mistake: At the end of the film when John Moon is digging a shallow grave for the dead girl (who has been dead for days, and spent additional days in a freezer also). You can see the dead girl breathing by the way her arm is moving on her chest. (01:46:00 - 01:47:00)

A Single Shot (2013)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film when the girl is shot, in the close up there is no debris on her face, but the next wider shot shows her face covered with dirt and other bits of debris.
