Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Dog Day Afternoon mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Stevie gives Sonny the handgun, as Sonny tucks the handgun into his waistband, the actor's mic wire becomes visible. After Moretti's first phone call, Sonny is angry that "Jack downtown" gave him wrong information, and when he stands up there's an odd bulge at the back of his pants, presumably his mic transmitter. Then Sonny asks Mulvaney about the back door's location, and when Sonny leans down to tell Sal, "Cover them, cover them," we can see the mic and its wire between Al Pacino's tie and shirt. In exterior shots, we can see the outline of the white tape under Pacino's shirt (holds his lav mic in place due to the actor's frenetic movements). (00:07:55 - 00:20:40)

Continuity mistake: After the fight ends between Dalton and Jimmy, Jimmy is killed and kicked into the water. When Doc pulls Jimmy's body out of the water and onto the sand, Jimmy's eyes are wide open and his mouth is open. Immediately after, in a different camera angle, Jimmy's mouth is now closed and his eyes are shut before Doc even touches his eyes.

Visible crew/equipment: While Moretti is in the barber shop on the phone with Sonny, the camera tracks closer to Moretti, Sheldon, and Carmine, and as Moretti says, "Come on, let's be reasonable...just give me your name," we can see their three T-marks (dark chalk) on the floor at their feet.

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Other mistake: While Ann Darrow is lying on the Empire State Building ledge beside the ladder, the backdrop shows the Chrysler Building, Queensboro Bridge, and Roosevelt Island, behind to the right. However, after Kong falls from the skyscraper, when Jack appears and says, "Ann, hang on, dear," this one shot is angled toward the left of the ESB, but the set's backdrop is positioned so it's the same background with the Chrysler Building, Queensboro Bridge, and Roosevelt Island, behind to the left.

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When King Kong carries Ann Darrow to the top of the Empire State Building, he places her on the ledge near the fixed ladder mounted to the building. During the scene, in Ann's close-ups, the ladder vanishes from where it should be, and in the zoom-in shots (biplane POV), the ladder is mounted in a different area than in the long shots. (01:35:00)

Revealing mistake: While King Kong is atop the Empire State Building, the biplanes are strafing their large target. There are several static close-up shots facing a biplane's nose, and in these "aerial" shots, there's a girder beneath the set prop's fuselage. (01:36:10)

Continuity mistake: When Mufasa is saying "let an old pro show you how it's done" during the morning report, Mufasa's eyes change from yellow to white and back. (00:10:45)

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade mistake picture

Continuity mistake: While Henry and Marcus are being held inside the tank, Indiana rides in circles and baits the tank to ram into one of the cars. In a following shot when we see Vogel walking toward the window inside the tank it's a flipped shot, note everything is backwards: strap, button, armband. Then two shots later, when Vogel shouts "quick" in German it's another flipped shot, and about five shots after that again flipped. (01:29:30)

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Revealing mistake: After King Kong destroys the train track of the oncoming train, in the POV shot directly behind the train operator while he watches Kong rise from the broken track, the small model's support control bar is visible at the right as it moves up and down. The next shot is a close-up of the shocked motorman, and after he attempts to stop the train, there's another shot facing Kong with the control bar visible for a moment. (01:31:50)
