Revealing mistake: The money delivery went awry, and Rambo is fighting the bad guys. He subdues one in armlock, but another charges at him using a lead pipe like a spear. It is rather obvious that the weapon is miles away from connecting to David Chiang's face, but the sound played is one of a hit, and he acts like that. (00:31:30)

Where's Officer Tuba? (1986)
Revealing mistake: The chairman parks his car in front of Bel Fuse Ltd. And goes upstairs. His car explodes, but does it in front of a different building, probably switching to a stage building front; the metal doors don't have vents anymore and there are visible join lines in the asphalt and the cement. (00:15:10 - 00:15:40)
28th Mar 2022
Alligator (1980)
Revealing mistake: After the unmissable scene of a very excited Henry Silva appraising alligator dung, there's a small intermission showing some news on the TV. The "tv" is a literal cutout of a television that frames the footage. It's not even cut properly, the lines are jagged and not smooth. (00:52:50)
28th Mar 2022
Alligator (1980)
Revealing mistake: After the press conference, there's a close-up of a newspaper ("The National Probe") which features obvious repetition of the same paragraphs over and over. (00:16:55)
26th Mar 2022
Scream 3 (2000)
Revealing mistake: The two faxes Jennifer reads are a single document that arrives with a timestamp of 21:05 at page 1, and of 21:07 for page 2. They arrive less than thirty seconds apart, and same for page 3, printed at 21:09. (00:44:20 - 00:44:50)

24th Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Revealing mistake: When Poirot reads the newspaper detailing Lady Westholme's death, the font and the clarity of the print on the article stick out from the rest of the page like a sore thumb. (01:38:30)
22nd Mar 2022
ENF Novels: Dress Code
Revealing mistake: Several times during the game the name of the person saying a line followed by a colon (so, the basic formatting of the script) appears in the actual line of dialogue, sometimes together with the proper name field, other times with no name field at all.
22nd Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Revealing mistake: In the close-up of the killer's revolver firing, the revolver is...clearly not firing. It's just the sound dubbed in, but there's no flash or discharge of any kind. (01:33:10)
19th Mar 2022
Ghostbusters (1984)
Revealing mistake: When the ghosts are released from the storage unit, there's a shot of the light beam followed by a wide panoramic view of New York where the ghost lights depart as strings and orbs of energy. If you look at the Empire State Building, you can see that the first orb supposedly passes behind it, but its outline can be in fact seen through it. (01:09:05)
19th Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Revealing mistake: When Dr. King checks on Mrs. Boynton, the dead woman opens her eyes by her own volition before her head rolls back. (00:45:00)

Ultraman: A Special Effects Fantasy Series (1965)
Revealing mistake: When the monster uses its claw to swat Hayata away, under the superimposed claw you can see the abrupt disappearance of Hayata's shadow from one frame to the next. (00:19:30)
14th Mar 2022
Ultraman: A Special Effects Fantasy Series (1965)
Revealing mistake: During his first confrontation with the alien, Hayata's pistol shoots powerful rays that don't cause a single speck of damage to the walls when the monster dodges them. They are just superimposed. (00:09:40)
12th Mar 2022
House of Gucci (2021)
Revealing mistake: When Paolo tells Patrizia "I do have something on my father", you can plainly see the separation between the frowned forehead of Jared Leto and his "bald cap" prosthetics. (01:15:30)
12th Mar 2022
House of Gucci (2021)
Revealing mistake: When Maurizio has a water fight with one of the truck drivers, above the logo of the fictitious company "Corriere F. Reggiani" on the window of the truck you can see the logo of "F.lli Zucchetto", (Zucchetto Brothers) the real company owning the truck, who organizes real life gatherings of vintage truck owners. (00:22:50)

Castle (2009)
Nanny McDead - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: In the very first close-up of the body at the morgue, the 'body' blinks. (00:11:15)
9th Mar 2022
House of Gucci (2021)
Revealing mistake: Maurizio tosses on the table the newspaper with the article about the new "P.G." brand launched by his cousin Paolo. The article itself is a copy/paste of the same paragraphs repeating a bit of history of the Gucci family and brand. (01:11:05)
7th Mar 2022
Death on the Nile (1978)
Revealing mistake: When a dangerous cobra threatens some stand-in wearing Poirot's pants, under the sink you can see the reflections on the protective glass. (01:25:50)
6th Mar 2022
Death on the Nile (1978)
Revealing mistake: After Poirot has inspected the messier of the 2 bottles of nail polish he has a laugh with Race (it almost looks like Ustinov and Niven are breaking character at the end of the shot) and they briefly pass through the murder scene again. Look at Lois Chiles' eyelashes; she's blinking, not quite dead. (01:12:20)
6th Mar 2022
Death on the Nile (1978)
Revealing mistake: When Poirot gives the sarcastic explanation of the letter J to the doctor and colonel Race, the chest of the stone-cold dead Linnet quietly rises and falls as the very alive actress breathes. (01:08:35)
