10 (1979)

Revealing mistake: When the dentist aims the syringe into the right side of George's mouth, to apparently inject the anesthetic, the needle sticks the dentist's finger instead of into George's gums.

10 (1979)

Other mistake: There is no tea or any other liquid that spills out from the overturned kettle and cups, when Mrs. Kissell 'drops' the serving tray on the Reverend's coffee table.

Once Bitten (1985)

Revealing mistake: When Mark is in the fitting room, it's obvious that his stunt double is playing one of the cuts in the 'mirror' as their moves do not match.

The Private Eyes (1980)

Show generally

Plot hole: "Red" is somehow serving a life term or what for the execution murders of some Russian spies, her husband and his cronies had headed up. But her hubby somehow escaped any such sentencing.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Continuity mistake: Allison stands six feet from the doorway as she tosses the lighted flare into the paint shop, at the killer robot, and then everything explodes, and she runs off left. But moments later, after the fire and smoke has died down, the camera pans back from the doorway wreckage, and she is suddenly lying wounded in the same spot where she threw the flare. When she should have been long gone out of there.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Other mistake: When Allison "crashes" into the paint store near the end, she merely leans against the glass and it instantly shatters, which would not happen without her swinging something extremely heavy or sharp against the glass.

Other mistake: When Clark and the gang force the security guard onto the "screaming meemy" roller coaster, it starts to roll with no-one operating the controls.

Suggested correction: Every ride they ride would be a mistake as there was nobody to operate any of them.

Jaws 2 (1978)

Continuity mistake: When the young guy is fiercely swimming back to the sailboat, the shark yanks him under a few times as he struggles to climb back in the boat. Suddenly there is a huge pool of gushing fake blood floating all around before he's even pulled back under.

Spookies (1986)

Continuity mistake: When Mr Adams gets attacked by the baby spider, its size and location changes between shots. At the start it's on his cheek. In the next shot it is now covering his face, and quite larger during the struggle and the closeups.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Other mistake: When Mike and Leslie are fooling around, another moment cuts back to them now sitting up in bed, and her mouth covered in perfect silvery lipstick as she rummages through her purse for smokes. No way did she had time to reapply her lips after just having sex.

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end, when Kelly and Jack are in the boat heading out to the middle of the lake, the tip of the boom is visible just above and to the right of Jack's head.

Porky's Revenge (1985)

Other mistake: After Wendy reads the fake note she wrote from 'Snookie' to 'Bubbles' she tells the guys that it's really Peewee who is being set up to meet at the motel with Ballbreaker (Bubbles). Yet it's Tommy who shows up at the door.

Suggested correction: That's because Tommy conned PeeWee into giving him the candy and flowers, then sent him back to his room for something else in place of those. Then he ran of, got into his vehicle, and sped away. That's why when PeeWee showed up, and they asked who was in the room, he said "Tommy" as he realised Tommy duped him.

lartaker1975

Revealing mistake: This sequel is supposed to take place around 1955 or 56. However, Ballbreaker sports a very 1980s long jumper sweater and leg warmers (popular fashion trend during the 80s) throughout much of the film. Instead of the traditional era coach's jumpsuit worn in Porky's.

Porky's (1982)

Other mistake: While Coach is with Miss Honeycutt (aka "Lassie") in the boy's locker room, her exaggerated "oohing" and moans permeate throughout the gym, but do not match their actual sex movements during the camera cuts and she still carries on even when the action is paused.

The Warriors (1979)

Other mistake: When Cyrus is shot by Luther, leader of the Rogues, he is shown at the wide angle, as slumping backward by the force of the shot. But in the following shot, unrealistically 'busts' backwards through the wooden platform behind him. Purely for dramatic cinematic purposes, when he should have just slumped to the floor.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Revealing mistake: At the end when the dock 'kicks' the king spider off him into the fire, we hear it scream like a stuck pig. Then additional screams from the 'burning' spiders inside the pulsating nest, and when the doc torches both the king spider afterwards.

Suggested correction: Not sure how this is a mistake. Sure real world spiders don't making squealing noises but real world spiders also don't jump 30 feet or have venom potent enough to kill a human within seconds of being bitten.

It's a mistake because spiders cannot vocalize at all. The film creates a new spider species with exaggerated aspects of real life spiders: extremely potent venom, highly aggressive behavior, jumping ability, etc. What the film can't do is give the spiders traits they couldn't possibly have in real life.
