Revealing mistake: When Holmes kills the guineapig-human hybrid, the entire scene is ridiculous. In the first shot, the guineapig has tiny human hands that look to be about a half-inch at most. Holmes then steps on it, and in that shot it appears to be a different type of rodent entirely. Then we see the human hands under his shoe flexing in pain, and they look to be significantly bigger than before based on the scale of his shoe... at least 5X bigger than they were.

Revealing mistake: When the demon is dressed up as Santa Claus, watch closely. Every time you can see under his sleeves, you can see where the monster makeup on his arms ends, and the normal human skin behind it.

Revealing mistake: In the widescreen Blu-Ray, when Gallagher dies, his head twists to the side. When this happens, you can see that Blade's arm, which is hooked into his cheek, isn't attached to anything. His body isn't there. Likely, it was easier for them to just stick one of his arms into the actor's mouth than to attach the whole puppet. (The film was shot for video with the intention of being cropped down to fullscreen. The Blu-Ray presents the original, uncropped widescreen image, causing this mistake.)

Revealing mistake: When the sorcerer is about to show Toulon his magic for the first time, Toulon picks up one of the puppets. A few moments later, the sorcerer tells him to put it back down, so he does. Both times this happens, you can tell they used the exact same cutaway shot of Toulon picking up the puppet. They simply reversed the footage in the second take to make it look like he’s putting the puppet down. The distinct movement gives it away.

Revealing mistake: In the widescreen Blu-ray version, when Pinhead is brought to life, you can see the side of the puppeteer's hand tilting him up. The movie was originally shot for home video with the intent of being cropped down to fullscreen. The Blu-ray version presents the original uncropped widescreen version, unfortunately causing this mistake to be caught in shot.

Revealing mistake: At the end of the final battle, when Sean rips the Guyver unit out of Crane's head and delivers his one-liner ("this model... has been recalled!"), you can see Sean's previously rigid, metal-like mask bending like rubber as his right shoulder rubs against it in the close-up. Particularly noticeable is the vent where steam sometimes shoots out, which bends nearly 45 degrees for about a half-second. (Revealing it's likely some sort of latex "stunt mask" for the actor to wear during fight scenes.)

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Hellboy drops the giant cog on Kroenen and kills him, there's a bizarre mistake. As the cog falls towards camera, it sort of half-rotates in mid-air and you can see Hellboy in one of the little gaps for about one second. And you can see him standing above... holding the exact same giant cog that is currently falling towards camera. According to the YouTube series "VFX Artists React," it's likely the result of the VFX program just looping the footage to insert behind the cog.

Revealing mistake: When the shop teacher walks up to Millie at the start of the film and slams the book, as he begins to step in front of her table, you can see him subtly "step down" even though he's on an even floor. Due to technical limitations, there needed to be a raised surface on the floor for the camera, a few inches off the ground. It was painted out digitally, but you can still see the actor step off the platform, making it look like he's "stepping down" on even ground. (Confirmed in Blu-Ray commentary.)

Revealing mistake: Phibes' "real" face is a mask. Not only can you see the edges of it around his eyes, but his mouth and teeth look fairly unnatural and like a "solid" piece.

Revealing mistake: When Joey stumbles into the church, there are a few wide shots where you can tell the background is mostly a matte painting. What gives it away is that the candles in the foreground are flickering while the candles in the background aren't since they're painted.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When JP gets the two pistons shoved through his head and we see them "break through" his head, you can tell it's just two different takes of the same effect, since both come out ABOVE his ear, whereas when we see the final result, there's one coming out BELOW his ear. (The hairline on the fake prop head is also a little wonky.)

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Pinhead is in the statue talking to JP, you can see where the makeup ends around his mouth/lips during his close-ups, especially when he spits out the bullets.

Revealing mistake: When the CD's embedded into the DJ's head, the second CD we see cut into his skin has fishing line coming off it.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: During the nightclub massacre, there's a brief shot of a woman having the skin around her eye pulled off. You can tell that she just had some fake skin over her face and had her face painted with a "blood" texture beneath. The effect is incredibly cheap and unconvincing.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When the former bartender-turned-Cenobite blows a hole through the brick wall and comes out, you can see the "brick wall" bend like foam or rubber as he comes through, revealing it's a fake prop wall.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Joey is running around the streets with the box, the former bartender Cenobite blows a hole through the wall and comes out. There's a brief shot of Joey cowering with her back to him, and you can plainly see one of the supposed "bricks" from the wall literally smack her on the side of the head and harmlessly bounce off, revealing it's a lightweight foam replica. The scene tries to cover by adding in her grunting "Ugh!", but if it was a real brick, it would have knocked her right out.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Pinhead pulls the pins (with attached worms) out of his head, there are two brief flubs. In the first close-up, you can see several of the pins on his head "wobble" unnaturally, revealing that it's likely some sort of rubber prop head. When he pulls the second pin out, the camera is in almost the exact same position, and he appears to pull the second pin out of the exact same spot, so it's likely just two different takes of the exact same effect.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Pinhead is walking into the church, the stained-glass windows start to explode. In several of the close-up shots, you can see the supposedly stone walls of the church "wobble" as the windows explode, revealing they're just painted set walls.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Joey sees the man's head explode in the hospital at the beginning of the film, pay attention. You can tell that the head was sculpted out of rigid foam (likely something similar to Styrofoam), painted, filled with fake blood, and then blown up. What gives it away is that you can see some of the unpainted white foam on some of the "chunks" of his head.

Final Destination - S3-E8

Revealing mistake: The gun that Wendall Wilkins pulls on the kids during the climax of the episode is noticeably a fake prop gun. If you look, you can tell that the barrel is not hollow, but is just a solid piece with a circular indent on the end. It's most noticeable when he says "Hail, Damballa!"
