Episode #1.65 - S1-E65

Revealing mistake: For a prison governor/warden, Mrs. Davidson (Erica) would presumably earn a modest upper middle class salary. Yet here she is on the phone, in the foyer of her home, wearing an elaborate house dress, surrounded by very stellar furnishings. But then she answers a knock at the door, and opens it to reveal a very ugly vertical striped wall mere feet behind her visitor. Obviously indicating that she either lives in a dim-tenant or low-scale apartment, or this scene was shot in-studio.

Revealing mistake: When Antonio cuts into the human meat, the 'chunk' he pulls out is obvious shreds of steaming chicken with tiny brown spots, than frozen human flesh.

Gregory's Girl (1981)

Revealing mistake: While the two dudes are talking up about getting girls, the couple behind them appears to be making out - but the girl's face is resting into the guy's shoulder while his head moves about. (00:19:31)

Revealing mistake: In the closeups the boy is holding a large leaf of seaweed to offer the stallion. But in the long shots at the waterfront he extends an empty hand with no seaweed visible.

Episode #1.57 - S1-E57

Deliberate mistake: After MacNelly enters the ladies room to confront the red haired lady, she shoots the woman in the chest, but there's no gunshot or bullet hole or blood anywhere. But the red haired lady dramatically collapses to the floor. Then during a closeup, glances upward at MacNelly, and then her head droops downward.

The Private Eyes (1980)

Other mistake: It is night-time when Dr. Tart (Conway) releases the 2nd dove out the window. Moments later we hear 2 gunshots and a plop sound of a dead bird. Which would be impossible as the shooter could not see a gray bird in the night sky.

Revealing mistake: It's quite obvious that the lighting inside the hut they are tying the other huts to, is studio lighting, as candles or torches would have burned out from the storm winds.

Caveman (1981)

Factual error: After the giant egg 'cracks' open on the ground below, Atouk and his men move in for a closer look, and then begin eating the contents. Seconds later the black caveman slips and falls into the "yolk" and then begins dancing around as they cheer him on. When in fact, the boiling steam would've burned him.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Revealing mistake: Near the end it is way obvious that the king spider is animatronic as it goes for the doctor, considering it's tech string is quite visible in the closeup. And it "hisses" as it's lowered.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Other mistake: When the exterminator steps on the little spider it makes a loud dramatic 'crunch' and then when he lifts his boot the bottom is overcovered in fake brown goo.

Arachnophobia (1990)

Revealing mistake: Two very different types of spiders are used in most of the shots. In the closeups they are larger, with bulbous legs, defined hairs, and big eyes.

Season 1 generally

Stupidity: Dr. Greg seems to catch some of the more obvious quirks of inmates attempting to take a large vial or bottle from the cabinet. Yet he doesn't seem to notice when Lizzie grabs a bottle of pills and pockets them from the rolling cart in front of him. (00:20:15 - 00:20:45)

Other mistake: During her fight with ex-hubby Michael, Laura asks him in exasperation "will fifty dollars be enough?" then crosses to her purse and pulls out a hundred dollar bill.

Mermaids (1990)

Audio problem: Three quarters into the movie, the girls have some wine, and little Kate overindulges. In the next take we hear belching and hiccups that don't match the girls sitting quietly on the porch swing, talking.

10 (1979)

Revealing mistake: After the waitress brings George his fresh cup of hot coffee, he immediate takes a sip, and it spills down his chin from being induced by dental anesthesia, instead of actually burning him.
