Rambo (2008)

Visible crew/equipment: When the mercenaries are able to fight back after Rambo's intervention on the mounted .50 cal, the Merc with the bandana on his head climbs up some wooden steps to get a better firing position. Just as he takes up his firing position, you can see directly behind him a video camera with blue tape on it pointing over his shoulder, which is then reflected in the next shot over his shoulder.

Ready Player One (2018)

Revealing mistake: Just after Wade gets threatened and his home is about to be bombed, he leaves his van trying to call his friends. After this shot, the camera pans over a load of scrap cars. Whilst the movie is meant to be set in America, at least 3 UK registered cars are visible in amongst the scrap cars, still wearing their UK plates. These 3 rather unremarkable cars, a Ford Mondeo, Fiat Punto, and Ford Fiesta Courier van, are unlikely to have ended up in the US.

Suggested correction: Though unlikely, not impossible. This is a future scenario and it's not far fetched to think that some economic crisis prompted people to buy import cars and then never given US plates. Or they were imported for parts. Or some UK workers using their own car.

Rambo (2008)

Visible crew/equipment: When Rambo is attempting to lead the soldiers away on a fake trail, and just before he sets the claymore trap on the Tallboy bomb, there is a shot of Rambo running from the left side of the screen to the right, and just before the camera stops panning right, in the bottom right corner of the screen you can see crew equipment.

Revealing mistake: Uncas dies and falls off the cliffside. Immediately after this happens, Hawkeye comes into view through a passage in the rocks. If you look at the rock to Hawkeye's left, when he touches it with his hand, it flexes.

Prey (2022)

Trivia: The pistol that Naru gives to the tribal elder is the same pistol given to Harrigan at the end of Predator 2, which means that other Predators will likely be coming back to take on the Comanches and get the pistol back, perhaps in the ships shown in the paintings at the end of the credits.

The Karate Kid (1984)

Other mistake: When Daniel and his mother have to bump start the car, she shouts to Allie to pop the clutch. There is no tell tale sign of the car reacting to the clutch being dropped, and the sound of the engine starting is preceded by the sound of the starter motor turning as if the key was used.

Revealing mistake: After Bond's BMW runs across the spikes that deflate the tyres, there follows a side shot of one of the rear tyres re-inflating. If you look carefully, under the car near the wheel is the mechanism they used to raise the car to 're-inflate' the tyre.

American Sniper (2014)

Continuity mistake: When the two Humvees are leaving, they get intercepted by a green Renault 12 which they shoot up and ram. The Humvee after hitting the Renault then hits a wall and suffers damage. After the Humvees come to a halt some moments later, the wall damaged Humvee is now pristine again.

Continuity mistake: Nick Fury's black SUV gets hit by several police cars - the driver's airbag deploys and is visible in all shots until the SUV eventually escapes, at which point the airbag has disappeared.

Jason Bourne (2016)

Continuity mistake: In the chase scene between the black Dodge Charger and the Police SWAT truck, the damage to the left side of the Charger alternates frequently between damaged and un-damaged.

Other mistake: Just before Hermione gives Harry and Ron the two drugged cakes for Crabbe and Goyle in the food hall, snow is falling and to a fairly low level. In spite of this, and it being a continuous shot, as the camera lowers down, the snow ceases, but right at the end of the shot, the camera view raises up a significant amount where we should be able to see the falling snow again, but someone wanted to save pennies on the VFX budget, because the snow has gone.

Aliens (1986)

Continuity mistake: Hicks gives Ripley a wristwatch which is linked to his tracker. If you look at the watch, its face is mostly black with a tiny portion that is clear. However, when Newt has the watch and falls down the tunnel and is wandering around the pool of water before Hicks and Ripley find her, you can see that the watch face has no black - it has a full clear face and appears to be a standard digital watch of the 1980's era.

Gremlins (1984)

Continuity mistake: Billy gets shot with a crossbow bolt by Stripe and you see it in his left arm. Next shot cuts to a silver stereo/boombox, and then the shot cuts back to Billy. The crossbow bolt in his arm is now missing, but returns in subsequent shots.

Spectre (2015)

Trivia: When Bond attempts to shoot Oberhauser through the bulletproof glass toward the end of the film, the gunshot pattern makes the Spectre logo, as shown in advertising for the film.

Trivia: Unlike previous movies in the Marvel franchise, there is only one credits extra, and that's in the middle, featuring Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet.

Avengers: Age of Ultron trivia picture

Trivia: Stan Lee makes his customary appearance whilst the Avengers and a load of War Veterans are enjoying a get together. Thor offers a 1,000 year old Asgardian drink to Captain America, and Stan Lee asks for some. (00:25:15)

Hard Target (1993)

Continuity mistake: As Boudreax kicks the motorcyclist off his bike, the blue doors on the van in the background open, in a later shot, the blue doors are now closed again.

Hard Target (1993)

Revealing mistake: When Boudreaux leaps over the bonnet of the police car to roundhouse kick the motorcyclist off, if you look carefully in the background, there is a blue van with its back doors closed. As the motorcyclist comes to a complete halt, the blue van visibly shakes in the background and the back doors burst open. This is because the van was used as an anchor to stop the motorcyclist after being kicked off the bike.
