Wayne's World 2 (1993)

Visible crew/equipment: When Wayne is doing the "detective" work and he falls from the pole there is a shot of Garth and the biker running towards him and in the reflection of the glass you can easily see a crew member holding a camera. (00:48:50)

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the film when Jack walks out of his house while putting his sunglasses on you can very briefly see the crew and equipment reflected in them.

The Abyss (1989)

Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where Bud and Lindsey are arguing about who will wear the scuba equipment back to the rig from their downed mini sub, a hand with a cloth wipes water off the camera. It's during the line when the camera is facing Bud and he says "Don't argue with me goddammit, just put it on." This is visible in the 4:3 version for TV, as well as the widescreen version on DVD.

Revealing mistake: In Carnosaur 2, there is a scene where a raptor grabs a girl out of an elevator and kills her in a room. The room is in a building that is a government base in the middle of the desert. In Carnosaur 3, there is a room in a civilian meat packing warehouse in the city where the military unit is trying to catch the dinos. The nitpick is that the room are very obviously the exact same set used to be 2 different locations but are exactly the same within a series of same movies. You can tell the room is the same by the items in it, I'm not just talking the floor plan, or similar windows. There are barrels, pallets, crates, etc that are the same colors, the rooms are the same colors, the junk piles match-everything is exact. The director must have liked that room set and decided to use it again as a supposed different place. Too bad they didn't at least move some things around a bit.

Continuity mistake: The terrorist blow up many Jeeps when they ambush the military in the opening scenes. The problem is, they blow up more Jeeps than are in the convoy. When the terrorists steal the truck that was being escorted by the military convoy, we can see there were 3 Jeeps. But during the ambush scene, there are a lot more than that blown up by terrorists using weapons.

Action Jackson (1988)

Audio problem: In one scene where Jackson is caught by some bad guys you can see (and hear) that a couple of times when Jackson laughs it is badly dubbed over.

About Schmidt (2002)

Audio problem: When Schmidt's wife is chopping food on a cutting board, the sound of the chopping doesn't match the action.

About Schmidt (2002)

Continuity mistake: In the wedding scene, Randall's boutonniere starts out as a closed off-white rosebud with arranged foliage. By the time he is reading his "and I mean every DAY" prose to Jeannie, the rose has changed color to peach, has opened, and the foliage is arranged completely differently.

Action Jackson (1988)

Continuity mistake: On a desk you can see a can of drink, a white cup and a picture frame but after the 'invisible men' break into the building these items have now vanished from the desk and are nowhere to be seen.

AidanN

Other mistake: When the military convoy is attacked by the terrorists, the terrorists use weapons to blow up the Jeeps. Notice that the first Jeep blown up is parked next to the white guard rail and a sign post that show 36 on it. The same footage from a different angle is used for an another explosion.

Audio problem: Right after Rocky jumps over the fence and kicks the ninja that is holding tum tum he says "give me five". But his lips don't move at all.

AidanN

Revealing mistake: When the main villain (I can't remember her name) is about to press the buzzer in the theme park to get into the security section, or whatever it is, the buzzer starts buzzing at least a second before she presses it.

Continuity mistake: When Meo and 16 are competing with weapons, 16 has a staff but when he bows to grand master he has 2 swords in his hand.

AidanN

Plot hole: When the 3 ninjas' Grandpa is in hospital, he phones them and complains that no-one at the hospital speaks English. Not only is this a strange complaint to make about a hospital in Japan, but later in the film he is seen speaking in Japanese. He should therefore be able to easily communicate with people at the hospital.

AidanN

Visible crew/equipment: Rocky is chatting up Mijo and the other two boys, Colt and Tum Tum, burst through the paper screen. In the next shot, very bright studio lights are reflected in both lenses of Rocky's spectacles.

AidanN

Revealing mistake: In all the scenes where Tum Tum kicks the ninjas, you can tell it is a fake leg in the closeups.
