Live Free or Die Hard mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: While McClane drives in the tunnel, Gabriel orders, "Open the gates on the north side entrance." A few shots later the signal light changes from red to green and the north gate opens. The "warning" sign is backwards in this flipped shot. Then, when Gabriel opens the gates at the south entrance, there's a proper shot of the "south" gate opening. The two shots of the "north" and "south" gates opening are the same, but one is reversed. All the dirty smudges on the signs, booths, etc, are identical. (00:41:20 - 00:42:05)

Deliberate mistake: On Tatooine, after C-3PO tells R2, "No more adventures," he walks off in the opposite direction. When C-3PO reaches the skeletal remains in the sand, and complains that the malfunctioning little twerp tricked him, the closeups of 3PO are flipped shots (also note the position/direction of the skeletal head).

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan - S3-E1

Deliberate mistake: After Monk and Sharona speak to Gratnik in Dumbo, they take the subway back to Manhattan. While Monk is sobbing, in the first exterior shot the "A" train slows into the 42 St station in Manhattan; note the "A" at the left with the driver on the right, as well as the "42" station sign not reflected backwards, all revealing a flipped shot. Then it's the "C" train when it stops, with Monk and Sharona back in Brooklyn, even further now at the "Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street" platform (used for TV shows and films), in lower Downtown Brooklyn.

Deliberate mistake: While they're in Yuri's tent, when Bill is standing in front of the tent wall Ralph describes all the good vibes he's getting about Yuri, and then Bill exits the tent.

Deliberate mistake: While Bill and Ralph are with Starlet in the motel room and the shooting starts Bill tells Ralph to go get the guys, and when Ralph changes into his suit and flies out of the window, the shot inside the bathroom is a flipped shot.
