Continuity mistake: At about 23:21, Dale Cooper is writing on a chalkboard that has the letters R and T on it, not circled. Moments later, at 23:30, the letters are circled, even though Cooper has not marked the board. (00:23:20)

Suggested correction: Actually, there is a cutaway shot to the two policemen, and when the shot changes back to Cooper (with the letters now circled, as you say), he does have the chalk in his hand and then circles the "J." I think it's implied he circled the R and T in the cutaway. There was enough time.

Visible crew/equipment: The overhead microphone slips into the view many times.

No Country For Old Men (2007)
Audio problem: When, at the end of the movie, Chigurh leaves the accident site after he said to one of the boys: "You didn't see me, I was already gone", the boy answers saying: "Yessir", but his lips don't move.

Suggested correction: The boy's mouth is open. You can say "Yessir" with your mouth open without moving your lips. Try it.
I can't.

Children of the Corn (1984)

Wrong Turn (2003)
Plot hole: In the end, the old timer sees the truck approaching and gets up and closes the door and acts as if he's scared. As we learned in part 2, these hillbillies are related to each other. Considering he knows the yellow truck, why does he act afraid? (01:16:15)

Suggested correction: The sequels do not affect the original. Not a valid mistake.

Black Hawk Down (2001)
Corrected entry: When the armored convoy jeeps fire at the roofs as they drive down the street, when they show the two kids firing guns then getting shot down, look to the right at the pile of rocks that "explode" and you can see the wire used to knock them out of place. (00:50:48)
Correction: You see these people in an earlier shot from one of the Black Hawks. The cable actually runs across the building's roof and over the other side.
Yes, this entry should be deleted.

Rush Hour (1998)
Visible crew/equipment: After Han's daughter has been kidnapped, and he is back at home speaking to the FBI, immediately after the agent says "I know this is a difficult time for you but we're going to get your daughter back" you can see a boom microphone above their heads. (00:12:39)

Suggested correction: I've re-watched this part several times on HBO Max. There is nothing visible above their heads at the 12:39 minute mark. There is a shadow on the wall that is boom mic shaped; however, it would be pure speculation to what it is since it is very briefly and no equipment is ever shown.
Originally when I posted this mistake I added that I saw it specifically on the Netflix version. This was not included for some reason when it was uploaded. Watch the Netflix version and it's there.

Rec (2007)
Corrected entry: When the crew is getting in the fire truck near the start, the camera man gets in after the presenter. Next thing, they've switched sides. There was no room for them to switch sides.
Correction: There is enough room for them to switch sides and plenty of time for them to do so in between shots.

The 13th Warrior (1999)
Visible crew/equipment: In a scene in a cave that is the lair of the "eaters of the dead," the camera takes an overhead wide angle shot of the "eaters" walking down into the cave. It is possible to see a young man wearing a burgundy t-shirt and beige shorts (a crew member), sitting against the wall of the cave cross-legged. (01:16:55)

Suggested correction: I've watched this scene a number of times on YouTube and I'm certain that this "crew member" is an extra. He is not wearing a T-shirt and shorts, his clothing is correct for an extra. There are also other extras sat cross-legged a few feet from him.

American Psycho (2000)
Revealing mistake: When Patrick opens his fridge to offer Jean some sorbet, you can see the decapitated head of a woman in the fridge. If you pay close attention, you can see the head is moving a little. (00:59:36)

Suggested correction: It's a prop head resting on a freezer shelf. It could simply be that opening the freezer door causes the head to sway a little, similar to if you had an egg, lemon, or something else that didn't have a flat bottom resting on a shelf inside a fridge.
No, the way it was filmed was with the actual actress putting her head up through a hole in shelf. It's her head moving.

The X-Files (1993)
Corrected entry: At The End of the episode Scully handcuffs Tooms to the bathtub and Mulder says "he's not gonna get his quota this year" and Tooms seemingly accepts his capture. Given that he can stretch his whole body (and as specifically shown in the episode, his hands/fingers) couldn't Tooms have escaped from the handcuffs?
Correction: He probably could have, but it's not something he can do instantly, and he also has a gun drawn on him. He likely decided it would be better to bide his time and escape later, which he eventually does.
I doubt that's what the filmmakers intended you to think though. It's a slip in the writing.
And how do you know what the filmmakers were thinking? They obviously intended to use the character again since he appears later in the season. If you could slip out of handcuffs, but a federal agent was pointing their gun at you, would you risk death or try to escape at a later time?
Yeh, I'm not gonna pretend that this mistake was solid. Fair enough.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Ian is speaking to Mr. Ludlow while the group is walking through the rain. If you watch in the background when Ian says the word "Long" something falls from the top of the screen. An extra even follows the item as it falls, you can see his head move. Hard to miss. (01:11:30)

Suggested correction: It's a leaf. I'm struggling to think of what piece of equipment it could possibly have been.
