Mac and Me (1988)

Revealing mistake: When the huge explosion happens, it is blatantly obvious that Eric and his wheelchair are superimposed in the shot. When the main scene shakes a bit, the superimposed wheelchair does not move. This same explosion minus Eric and his wheelchair appears in an alternate ending. It's the same exact shot.

Mac and Me (1988)

Revealing mistake: When Eric fails into the water, you see MAC sit up into the shot. This was obviously done by rear projection, with MAC inserted into the shot. Notice the difference in contrast between MAC and the other shot in front of it.

The Hunting Party - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When the sniper is aiming at Swagger and the soldier through the window, a woman walks in and notices him. He shoots her and she falls. The problem is, he shoots at nothing. She simply turns her head and acts like she got hit. There's no indication a bullet even hit her.

Highway to Heaven (1984)

Revealing mistake: When the tiles pop off the wall near the beginning, each pops off right in the middle. The nozzles squirting out the water are obvious.

Cliffhanger (1993)

Revealing mistake: The explosion happens and Gabe and Jessie seek shelter in a small cave. Before the rocks start falling, Gabe bumps the wall of the cave and creates a hole in the set. This is noticeable on the left side of the screen.

What Price Gloria? - October 16, 1961 - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: Sam and the other woman are staring at their reflections while Sam is getting ready. Notice where the woman with darker hair is standing in relation to Sam. Their mirror images are further apart. The woman with darker hair also has her head tilted to the right slightly. Her mirror image doesn't.

Gremlins (1984)

Revealing mistake: Gizmo flies off a snow shovel on his car and it blows up. There is a noticeable edit here where the effect happens. It's likely the car didn't blow on the first take so they spliced two scenes together.

The Toll - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: Mason brings his unnamed son to the lake and acts like he is going to drown him. The baby is noticeably a doll in all but the scene where he kisses it. It is obvious from the way he is carrying it as well as the lack of movement.

Going Under - S4-E15

Revealing mistake: Sucre and Linc are driving to the pier and there is a shot looking at their SUV. In the background you can see a cop directing traffic away from the shot. It's fairly obvious.
