Doom: Annihilation (2019)
Revealing mistake: The helmets the soldiers are wearing are made for airsoft/paintball players. No military would issue soldiers with helmets that had holes in them for field duty, as that could allow bullets or shrapnel to penetrate the soldiers' skulls.

Blade: Trinity (2004)

127 Hours (2010)
Deliberate mistake: During some shots seen from the camera when Aron is filming his diary the camera performs some subtle movements to keep him in frame. These movements are from a tripod as they're too subtle and controlled to be from someone operating the camera with one arm and moving around as much as James Franco was.
