Revealing mistake: When the first race gets underway, if you look at the roadway just before the cars start drifting, you can see the tyre marks of previous takes on the road.

On Deadly Ground (1994)
Factual error: When the two bad guys shoot at the elevator, they set off the claymore mine, and a huge flame and explosion kills them. A claymore is explosives and ball bearings, they don't create big fuel type flames, just a big focused explosion and shredding of anything in front of it.

On Deadly Ground (1994)
Continuity mistake: Michael Caine gets the rundown from the mercenaries that are to kill Steven Seagal, the lead mercenary takes Caine to one side and asks how he wants him delivered. The camera shot changes to a side view of Caine, and he turns his head full to the right and talks to the camera as if its the lead mercenary's viewpoint. The problem with this shot is the mercenary is stood in front of Caine, when Caine turns his head full to the right as per the next camera shot, it means in actuality, he's turned his head away from the mercenary completely and is talking to empty space.
Plot hole: Luke states that the reason for hiding Zeus' lightning bolt in Percy's shield is so that he can get the bolt to Hades, and thus start a war that will wipe out the Gods of Olympus. However, this simply cannot work. The whole plot of the movie rests on Percy accidentally dropping the shield, which Percy did innocently and not by any kind of design or planning. Had he not dropped the shield, Percy and the others would have been taken by the souls, Hades would never have discovered the lightning bolt, and the plot of the movie unravels from there.

Continuity mistake: When Kantmiss is climbing the tree, the ladder leading up is almost vertical, but in the next shot as she reaches the top, the ladder now has a significant angle to it.

In Time (2011)
Continuity mistake: When the Timekeepers Police car is sideswiped by the truck, you can see the drivers door bursts open, and the panelling where the door would latch onto to close is dented severely which would prevent the door closing again, but when the camera cuts to an inside shot of the car, the door is shut as if there is no damage.
Trivia: During the title credits, a rocket can be seen in the background of one shot. This is a reference to the book The Adventures of Tintin: Destination Moon.

Clash of the Titans (2010)
Plot hole: When Andromeda and Perseus wake up on the beach, Andromeda tells Perseus that Argos needs a new leader/king. The problem with this is there is nothing onscreen to show that she even knew her father the King had died. She was hanging by her arms facing the Kraken and she couldn't turn around. By the time her father died, she was already falling into the sea, so again, she shouldn't even know her father has died.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Trivia: Before Steve Rogers exits the chamber that changes him into Captain America, the sound effect for the machine winding down is the same one as for the rocket pack shutting down in The Rocketeer, another Joe Johnston movie.

Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Audio problem: Near the start of the movie, the Marines are out training and are approached by a group of Hum Vees that are to take them away because of the impending battle. The engine noise from the Hum Vees however is totally wrong, and is distinctively from a Willys Jeep.

Yogi Bear (2010)
Continuity mistake: Before the fireworks start, it's still very much daylight, but 2 minutes later, it's now significantly darker to allow the fireworks to be seen.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Plot hole: When we see Sentinel Prime being extracted from the Ark by Optimus, we can see that Sentinel Prime already looks the same way as he does throughout the rest of the movie. The Ark crash landed in the 1960's, the Rosenbauer Panther Fire Truck didn't exist in the form we see Sentinel Prime transform into. All of the other Autobots came to Earth in their proto forms and adopted a disguise when they arrived [we see them scanning alternate modes - one Decepticon is shown doing likewise in this movie.]. Sentinel Prime already has his disguise when on the ark, which isn't possible.

Nighthawks (1981)
Revealing mistake: All of the bullet holes in the target Da Silva fires at are wrong. When a bullet hits something, the explosive force exits in the same direction as the bullet, yet when you look at the target, you can see that the ruptured paper of the target has blown toward Da Silva, obviously a side result of having explosive charges on the back of the target to simulate bullets going through.

Nighthawks (1981)
Revealing mistake: When Da Silva has finished shooting on the police firing range, the camera does one last shot of the target and you can see the squib detonator wire hanging from the hole that's just been created in the head area of the target.

Nighthawks (1981)
Continuity mistake: When Da Silva is on the police firing range, he has a fresh target. He fires 5 times and then the camera does a closeup of the target, yet there are 8 bullet holes in the target.
