Ernest Goes to Camp (1987)
Revealing mistake: When the boys shoot the flaming arrows at the workers tent, it's painfully obvious they land in spots covered in fuel.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Revealing mistake: During the opening chase, as the truck driver is hitting vehicles, there is a front on shot. The stunt driver is visible. It's not the regular driver we just saw.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Revealing mistake: During the scene in the woods with the communication machine, Elliot tells E.T. that they need to go. You see the machine still working at a regular interval because a rope is pulling it. The shot pans to the left a touch and the rope stops moving, as if the person pulling it realises it's no longer in the shot.

Play It Again, Seymour - April 14, 1953 - S1-E9
Revealing mistake: Sam opens his left hand when talking to Al at the beginning. His reflection does not. His reflection just points his finger.

The Mask (1994)
Revealing mistake: They put the explosive down near the end and open it with a crowbar. As this is happening, the shot pushes in a tad. Notice a rough cut here as if the box wouldn't open as intended, so the editors spliced the scene together.

Quantum Leap (1989)
Double Identity - November 8, 1965 - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: Sam's reflection character turns around too slowly in the mirror at the beginning of the episode.

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Revealing mistake: When Biff steals the DeLorean and flies off with it, the DeLorean disappears just before it reaches the top of the screen. It appears to just wipe out of frame before it's supposed to. This mistake is visible on the Netflix version.

The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020)
Revealing mistake: During the dance number in the airport, Santa grabs a security guard who then starts break dancing. It's obvious this dancer is a stunt double as he's younger and skinnier than the real guard.

The Simpsons (1989)
Revealing mistake: During the intro to some earlier episodes where Bart leaves the school, the scene pans down and the edge of the animation paper can be seen in a couple spots at the very bottom of the frame. It is blue in color. This error persisted through many seasons.

Game Night (2018)
Revealing mistake: During the scenes with the cast on the bridge, there are clear traffic directing cones and lights visible in the distance, depending on the angle. This was done to prevent people and traffic from getting onto the closed set.

Suggested correction: Incorrect. They make a point of showing that there are "Bridge Closed" and construction signs on the bridge, and you can even see some construction equipment on the bridge itself. The cones and lights are not there to prevent people from getting onto set... they're part of the set dressing, since the bridge is meant to be closed down for construction in the scene. That's why they chose the bridge as a meetup point... there will be nobody to interfere.

Knives Out (2019)
Revealing mistake: The detectives start interviewing Linda and tell her they will be recording it. The detective pulls out a phone, and we see it recording. He starts talking and the waveform is moving but doesn't match when he speaks. If it were accurate we would see a peak when he talks.

Total Recall (1990)
Revealing mistake: Sharon Stone gets shot dead, but she moves afterwards.

The Mask (1994)
Revealing mistake: Dorian and his men are watching what we're assuming is a live feed from Tina at the bank. At one point the "video" stops as you can see a guard freeze. From that point on the video is a still picture.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: If you look at the top of the screen showing the bank video, you can see a multicolored distortion. This shows that they paused the video feed.
We don't see them pause the video.
We also don't see their hands, so one of them easily could have paused it.

Hop (2011)
Revealing mistake: When E.B. is running by the Hollywood sign and we see his shadow on the sign, at one point the shadow doesn't touch the ground when it should. It hovers.

Tremors (1990)
Revealing mistake: When the last explosion happens after Val tosses it, what looks like detonating wire coming off to the left is visible for a few frames.

The Naked Gun (1988)
Revealing mistake: Jane stands up and strips supposedly naked in front of Frank on their first date. In the widescreen DVD, it's obvious she has a skin colored top on.
13th Mar 2020
Speed (1994)
Revealing mistake: When Howard shoots the subway driver near the end, we see the driver collapse and die. Where did the damage from the bullets go? There's not much in the way of bullet holes or broken glass. Certainly an automatic weapon would've produced some damage.
27th Dec 2019
Cats (2019)
Revealing mistake: The film was rushed to theaters, leaving a few mistakes which Universal fixed. In the original cut, toward the end, Judi Dench's human hand is visible, complete with her wedding ring. This was fixed for the re-release.
23rd Nov 2019
Rookie of the Year (1993)
Revealing mistake: When the boys take the boat out, almost every shot shows smoke coming from the rear. If you look closely, the smoke isn't coming from the motor but next to it.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The smoke is coming from the motor, escaping it through the side, which makes it appear to be coming from elsewhere.
