Other mistake: During the Indian raid, there is a shot of the stagecoach coming at the camera. There is a large black splotch in the centre of the frame where either the film got scratched or there was dirt in the gate. This is visible on streaming versions of the film and may not be in restored versions.

Plane (2023)
Factual error: Near the end, they are taking off from the rebel island, and the captain is told where the nearest runway is, and that it's 50 miles away. Somehow, within a minute or two, the plane travels those 50 miles to land at the other runway. A crippled plane flew 50 miles in a minute or two?

McLintock! (1963)
Continuity mistake: The Asian man at the end of the table is looking forward while the others are talking to Dev's mother about how good the food is. The scene cuts to a wider shot, and he's looking down at his food.

McLintock! (1963)
Continuity mistake: The sun is coming in at different angles during the first scenes. At certain points, people facing away from the camera are in shadow while McLintock has the sun in his eyes. Cut to another shot; the sun is overhead and everyone is evenly lit.

The Simpsons (1989)
Springfield Connection - S6-E23
Other mistake: Right before Homer draws a line between him and Marge in their bedroom, there is a weird glitch where the scene fades out a bit and back in. It almost looks like a power outage but serves no purpose. This is on the Disney+ version of the episode.

Suggested correction: It seems like it was done on purpose, as it includes the sound effect of a light bulb burning out. Clearly, it was meant to reference Hans Moleman's electric chair scene. The electric shock probably used up too much power—that's the joke.

Arlington Road (1999)

Arlington Road (1999)
Trivia: Not really a mistake - The microwave at Faraday's home is not plugged in. Since it shows up in a few shots, it's possible the filmmakers decided it would have created continuity errors if the clock was visible.

Arlington Road (1999)
Visible crew/equipment: When Michael is asking his FBI friend to look up Oliver, his friend says he could lose his pension. The camera does an odd tilt up for a second, and the boom mic shadow is visible on the friend's chest on the left side. Immediately after that, it's briefly visible again in the same scene. The shadow is clear enough to see the windsock on the microphone.

Visible crew/equipment: Cato and the inspector are fighting in his apartment, and Clouseau trips on Dreyfus' periscope. Right after this, Clouseau gets up and screams in Cato's face.

Another Simple Favor (2025)
Continuity mistake: At the wedding reception, the groom burns the prenuptial agreement to the shock of many. Charity looks down at it in shock. The scene cuts, and she's instantly looking up at the groom.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Other mistake: At the library in Venice, Brody and Jones point out the Roman numerals in the library, wondering what they mean. Elsa comes over, and they show her. In front of her, behind the rail, is an obvious plate of glass. You can see her reflecting in it. The plate disappears in the next shot and never returns. The plate is not there in the longer shots. Where did it come from?

Suggested correction: I just watched the scene about five times and could not find any glass or reflections. All I saw was their shadows against the wall. Furthermore, it would make no sense for them to set up a big glass plate for one shot and only one shot.
I re-wound it several times. It's right at the beginning of the shot when Elsa comes from the right. It's brief but there. This was on a TV version. You may be watching a fixed version on DVD or Blu-ray. I'm sure the mistake has been corrected in later releases.
I think you are mistaking a shadow for a reflection. Or possibly it's just a video artifact. As the previous correction stated, why would there be a sheet of glass there?
I'm standing by my correction in this case. It just patently makes no sense why they'd set up a big pane of glass on their set for one shot then remove it. It wouldn't serve any purpose other than to catch light, and it would have also lightly messed with the way the background looked and the shadows the actors are casting. If it was a TV version, there's no way to tell what master they're using, how old it is, how it was stored, etc. It could have video artifacting or damage that caused the "reflection." (Probably just a light "ghosting" effect.) Heck, sometimes even your TV settings can cause issues like that. If you use any sort of motion smoothing or frame interpolation, those can create weird double images sometimes because the software doesn't always work properly.

The Wedding Singer (1998)
Other mistake: When Robbie comes back to the house to watch his sister's kids, they start asking him if he's having a nervous breakdown. Watch the kid on the left. Before he repeats what his brother says, you can tell he's about to, but the shot cuts back to Robbie. Then, the kid says his lines as the shot cuts back to him. The editing didn't quite line up.

The Running Man (1987)
Other mistake: Damon, the game show host, is talking to an elderly lady who says she's rooting for Richards. Watch Damon's mouth. He's helping the actress by mouthing her words with her.

The Running Man (1987)
Revealing mistake: When Sub Zero is dying, you can see blood spurting. It should be coming from his neck, but it's actually coming from his gloves.
