Revealing mistake: When Margaret (the blood pressure lady?) gets settled for the night, one of the baby spiders is crawling toward the couch where she's sitting. In the very next shot that same spider is suddenly 'hiding' inside the lampshade above her and bites her.

Tarzan The Ape Man (1981)
Continuity mistake: The scenes that Jane is wet or in the water her dress is very open and revealing, and the bodice nearly hangs off her shoulders, revealing her breasts. But the scenes she is dry, her bodice is very prim buttoned up with a butterfly collar. Obviously two different dresses for very separate effects.

Tarzan The Ape Man (1981)
Deliberate mistake: When the lion appears during the beach scene, the timing doesn't add up. In the first takes it makes its way halfway out to the sand, while Jane is bathing in the ocean. After Jane is done and redresses herself, the lion suddenly emerges from the place it first appeared.

Earthquake (1974)
Character mistake: Remy is Sam's daughter despite that they look the same age.
Suggested correction: This would be trivia at best. Characters are often older or younger than the actors portraying them. Greene being less than 8 years older than Gardner in real life isn't a mistake.

The Beastmaster (1982)
Revealing mistake: Near the end when Maax holds the dagger over Zed's middle, he tells him to prepare to join his dead son and then slashes him, subjectively in the abdomen. When the camera pulls back there is no blood anywhere on Zed's cloak as Maax goes after Dar, who slays him. And then Maax slumps near Zed's body. But there is no way Zed is dead from a mere slash across the cloak.
