Revealing mistake: When Kersey tries to shoot Wilson at the hospital, he lifts up the table to knock his gun away from him. Kersey fires a shot at the table when it moves up, but a hole doesn't appear in the table. This indicates the gun was loaded with blanks (obviously) and no other effects were done for the scene.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Revealing mistake: When the T-800 is reloading his shotgun in the alley with John, he reaches into his pocket, presumably to grab shells for the shotgun. In the shot with him and John in frame, his hand comes out of his pocket empty, but we hear him load another shell into the gun in the next shot.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Revealing mistake: When we see the new recruits at boot camp, they are wearing M1 Helmets. But if you look closely, they have rivets through the sides of each helmet where the chinstrap bales would be. In reality, the M1 helmet chinstrap bales were and continued to be welded onto the shell of the helmet. This indicates the helmets in the film are probably plastic replicas with the bales being riveted in place.

Dunkirk (2017)
Revealing mistake: In some of the shots where multiple British soldiers are together, most have their rifles (Short Magazine Lee Enfield, No. 1 Mk 3) slung or are holding them. Some of the rifles are dummy, toy rifles that look nothing like the Enfield and are just to stand in.
