Dracula (1979)

Revealing mistake: [ORIGINAL RELEASE - NOT THE DIRECTORS' CUT] Van Helsing, surrounded by the men, prepares to "purify" his dead Mina after unearthing her now-'undead' corpse. As Seward and Harker question her actual state, Van Helsing holds up a small mirror for them, insisting Mina casts no reflection. When Jonathan holds down the mirror to cast a look, you can catch a glimpse of Mina's hair and some skin. (01:15:50)

General Hospital (1963)

Show generally

Character mistake: THE MEXICO ADVENTURE (part 76): Sean Donnelly confronts Peter in a threat, forcing him to call Felicia collect - in the U.S. - insisting she fly down immediately. Sean then hands Peter a piece of paper with a phone number on it, and Peter calls the operator. The number Peter gives the operator is the same number Felicia has called her grandmother collect with - in Texas - several times - not Frisco's apt. in New York, where Felicia is staying.

The Warriors (1979)

Other mistake: The gang gets separated after an intense cop chase through the subway station and Cochise, Rembrandt, Vermin escape aboard a train and end up in Union Square. The guys step out onto the corridor to an empty platform, as Rembrandt comments that nobody has shown up. Vermin then grins and says "Something else just showed up!' as a gang of girls suddenly appears, standing by a stairwell, that wasn't there, across the tracks, in the same direction. (00:50:50 - 00:51:55)

Living Doll - S7-E24

Revealing mistake: Grissom and Brass enter the darkened apt. and Grissom spots another doll figurine on the book shelf as Brass takes notice of the dead guy on the bathroom floor. As Grissom comments on this being yet another 'miniature killer' scene, the cam flips to a shot of Dead Guy and he wiggles just slightly, even though he's supposed to be dead.

My Bodyguard (1980)

Continuity mistake: When Clifford is running down the hallway from Moody and his gang, Moody closes in on him by almost 40 feet. In the following shot, outside the auditorium, Clifford is a greater distance from the gang, sighing relief at the apparent getaway. Unless he suddenly picked up speed rounding some hallway corner, the time distance is impossible.

Built to Kill (Part 1) - S7-E1

Revealing mistake: During Katherine's visit with Dr. Robbins, they are overlooking Suicide Guys' body, discussing his autopsy. Just as the doc's hand touches the corpse's mouth, the corpse's lower lip twitches slightly.

Built to Kill (Part 1) - S7-E1

Revealing mistake: When Sarah visits Dr. Robbins to get an update on Suicide Guy, who is being autopsied, the camera moves to the right and you can see Suicide Guy breathe twice, even though he's supposed to be dead.

Hairspray (1988)

Revealing mistake: Penny is held captive in her bedroom, the window covered by bars. Seaweed shows up to 'rescue' her, brandishing large wire cutters and clips the bar on her left, but you can see the bar on her right is pre-cut as he bends both, just before she climbs out the window.

My Bodyguard (1980)

Revealing mistake: Linderman refuses Clifford's offer to be his personal bodyguard from Moody's gang, and leaves. As Clifford walks by the students practicing their violins, playing Mozart, their bow movements do not match the music.

Question: At the end of season six, Grace told Robert E she was pregnant. Throughout this series finale, which is fast-forwarded three years, there is no such child. Do we assume she miscarried?

oprlvr33

Chosen answer: We could assume that, but more likely the writers decided that adding a baby to the show did not serve the plot that well.

Weeping Willows - S5-E22

Revealing mistake: Willows discloses a laptop with the city's grid layout inside the welder's truck, and grabs her cell to call Grissom. Just as she presses last number, he immediately answers, without so much even a ring.

To Have and to Hold - S6-E20

Plot hole: In the ending scene, Mike has a probable concussion from her fall, so Sully keeps her awake to prevent her slipping into a coma. They talk all night, reminiscing as Mike experiences periodic pain spasms. Their talk ends with discussion over them having another child, and then they instantly engage in an intimate moment, which would be impossible, considering her condition, and without further checkup from another doctor. Sometime later she is suddenly feeling 'cured', and they return home.

Silent Movie (1976)

Plot hole: Funn, Eggs, and Bell, accompanied by Vilma, enter the theater, ready to show their finished Silent Movie project to the audience. However, only a night previous, Funn, inebriated, is rescued from the gutter, by his friends. A scene immediately following, shows them 'reviving' him with coffee. When did they find ample time to shoot their film? The time frame doesn't add up.

Silent Movie (1976)

Revealing mistake: While Funn and Bell are warding off their attackers by throwing Coke cans at them from the machine, Eggs is busy rewinding the retrieved film reel around his body. However, when he's done 'winding', it's obvious the amount of film wrapped around him is significantly less than what was on the film reel.

Revealing mistake: When Woody and Sharon are singing their 'Ol Devil Moon' duet, Sharon starts to sit up, but then the shot suddenly changes to them both sitting up, Woody in a fade behind her as she sings.

A Time to Heal (2) - S6-E9

Factual error: Marjorie's tragic death: The Quinn family has her funeral in the town cemetery, where she did not belong, instead honoring her death with a vigil, then transporting her body back to Boston, to be buried properly with her Quinn relatives: A common respect reserved for dignitaries; which technically the Quinn family was/is, and soldiers.

Revealing mistake: In the Egg Room, when the golden eggs are falling down onto the scale, and particularly when the egg Oompa lifts one onto the cart, you can see the lining on their sides, even though they are supposed to be actual goose eggs.

Bad Boys (1983)

Revealing mistake: When Paco and his accomplice attack JC in the alley, they tackle her to the ground and he starts punching her in the face to render her helpless. However, the action and the audio are not in sync, and its obvious his fists are not really hitting her at first.
