Other mistake: When Reese looks up Sarah's address in the phone book, it is on the right side of the book. Same thing for Sarah. However, when the Terminator checks the phone book, the names are on the left. Maybe in 1984, Los Angeles had multiple versions of the phone book to cause this "error," but if not, that is the issue.

The Terminator (1984)
Suggested correction: According to a quick search, there were multiple versions of the phonebook available in the 1980s. The most common difference was between versions that held exclusively white pages (residential numbers) and versions that had both white and yellow pages (business numbers), which probably had different formats. But in 1984, there even was a break in AT&T's monopoly on phonebook publishing, causing a widespread number of different phonebook versions to appear, especially in Southern California (according to AI).

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Other mistake: During patrol before Crazy picks up the stuffed animal, you can see the bottom half of the stuffed animal move slightly up, then back down before the booby trap explodes.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Goes Back to School - S2-E1
Other mistake: Derek tells Beth to meet in their "usual spot" the next day at 8am. The next scene has Derek sitting at his desk and it looks like the kids are already in deep with their SAT tests. Beth falls at 8:25am (as per the clock in the testing room.) There is no way that Derek could have killed Beth, put her on the minute hand (later in episode on the Monk recap, it has 8:15am. If Derek was proctoring a SAT test, I don't know of any that start around 8:20 and immediately in depth.

Necessary Roughness (1991)
Other mistake: The opening kickoff of the final game against North Texas was taken at the six-yard line and returned for a touchdown. The announcer said that North Texas takes the lead on a 96-yard return. If taken at the six-yard line, it should be a 94-yard touchdown.
