Suggested correction: I could not see Will's speedometer or tachometer (RPM gauge) during his drive to Frank's. What I did see (and believe you saw) was the patrol officer's instrument panel while he was parked along the road using radar. This was before he pulled out to chase Will's speeding SUV, so both gauges should have been on the far left (i.e, on "0"). [00:46:28].

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 picture

Revealing mistake: When Sonic and Tails arrive in Green Hills on the biplane, Tom and Maddie are looking up at them, but not focused on the same point. Instead, Maddie is looking to the left, and Tom to the right.

Jurassic World Dominion picture

Revealing mistake: While in the helicopter, Alan's eyes do not align with the location of the Dreadnoughtus. Alan is looking to his far right before the helicopter even approaches the dinosaur and it is shown across the front of the screen. Alan's eyes then stay fixed straight ahead (even after passing the dinosaur), giving the impression he's looking at the dinosaur, but he would have needed to keep turning his neck to the right as the helicopter flew past in order to keep it in sight. (00:35:14)

Suggested correction: It's a common movie trope. The two things aren't happening in sequential order. They're happening at the same time. Alan isn't looking before the helicopter approaches the dinosaur...you're seeing the inside of the helicopter as it approaches and passes the dinosaur. They're happening at the same time.

Ambulance picture

Revealing mistake: When Danny and the others are riding in the "RLC" truck to the bank, the sky is mostly a pale blue (almost white at times), but is suddenly a darker blue between two buildings. After returning to mostly pale blue, the sky turns into a much larger area that is a darker blue, then goes back to pale blue. Suggests filming on different days and/or use of CGI to fill in the sky but failing to use a consistent or similar color. (00:18:25 - 00:18:56)

Panama picture

Revealing mistake: The 50 dollar bills that appear in the opening credits all have the same serial number (and you can find online the texture they used with great ease, just like the one for the 20 dollar bills stack). (00:03:45)

Jurassic Domination picture

Revealing mistake: The views to the right and left of the truck on the road did not flow in the manner expected if they were actually there (as opposed to using a green screen). Also, as soon as a "stop" sign could be seen to the right, the camera shifted to the driver, who kept driving as though the stop sign was not there. The structures to the right of the truck were blue but became white when the camera shifted to a front view (not using a green screen). (00:01:20)

Blacklight picture

Revealing mistake: The appearance of the buildings/scenery opposite of FBI Director Gabriel Robinson's office vary, indicating the occasional use of a "green screen." The angles are inconsistent (wider or in the opposite direction) and sometimes grass and/or trees can be seen where the avenue between the buildings should be visible. (00:10:05 - 00:10:38)

All Quiet on the Western Front picture

Revealing mistake: The French tanks that attack Paul et al. Towards the end of the second act are supposed to be Saint Chamond tanks. There is only one of those left in the world, and it is not on screen: the undercarriage and tracks don't even come close to looking like that of a Saint Chamond, because it's actually a BMP-1 dressed up to look like a Saint Chamond.

Eraser: Reborn picture

Revealing mistake: The rhino that killed (or "erased") Paul was obviously CGI and quite fake-looking, especially the way it was running. (01:32:50)

Bullet Proof picture

Revealing mistake: At the hangar junkyard, there were a few 5-gallon gas containers around several "flammable" barrels that The Thief shot at in order to ignite/cause an explosion near Temple's goons. The huge explosion engulfed the whole area, but seconds later it could be seen that the flames were confined behind or within the circle of barrels and the gas cans were not affected. (01:13:10)

Poker Face picture

Revealing mistake: The aerial view showed it was not raining during the "supercar race", but the ground views showed at least two cars getting sprinkled on (one enough to turn on the wipers). When the camera shifted to road-level, the cars and road were dry. (Suggests filming at different times). (00:31:15 - 00:31:48)

Devotion picture

Revealing mistake: During the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, just before VF-32 comes in to provide air support, the Marines are firing their M1 Rifles. One of them mimics the recoil of it but we don't see the bolt move back when he fires his rifle. The M1 Rifle or Garand is semiautomatic, and the bolt moves back each time the shooter pulls the trigger.

Detective Knight: Redemption picture

Revealing mistake: During the (second) bank robbery, the ceiling was frequently unusually close to the top of the robbers' heads (inadequate clearance), indicative of a poorly positioned green screen (or CGI). (00:16:35 - 00:17:00)

Revealing mistake: When Chris Evans is dragging the girl into the maze at the end you can see the burn mark on his shoulder creasing with his shirt.

Memory picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene wherein Detective Marquez and Senora Borden are drinking wine by the (indoor) pool, the back of Det. Marquez's head is disproportionately large. Front views of Det. Marquez often show his head tilted to the left, but rear views usually do not and his head might even be tilted to the right. Also, Senora Borden's eyes do not appear to be aimed correctly at Det. Marquez's (especially since they are facing each other with heads tilted to the right). Use of stand-in and/or green screen. (01:02:30 - 01:03:10)

Shotgun Wedding picture

Revealing mistake: The front view of the pirates in the golf cart with Darcy and Tom does not show the driver turning the steering wheel at all, which would mean the road was straight, but the when the road becomes visible again, it is diagonally behind the golf cart. (00:36:45)

Black Warrant picture

Revealing mistake: Initially, there is a little movement that can be seen in the passenger's side mirror on Juan's car, but it is subsequently reduced to still-frame. Also, the driver's side mirror is tilted upward, showing movement, but not in a typical position to enable viewing of vehicles behind the driver. (00:00:55)

Pursuit picture

Revealing mistake: When William and Jack open the door, enter the room, and walk past the helium-filled balloons (tied to a chair about 4' away), the balloons remain immobile. Due to how light helium balloons are, just opening the door or breathing nearby would be enough to cause the balloons to move somewhat - if they were actually there. (00:16:00)

Fortress: Sniper's Eye picture

Revealing mistake: Robert's upper body is leaning against a pillow with his adjustable bed at about a 60° angle, and stays at this angle when there are front views of him. After Paul arrives, views of Paul that include only part of Robert's stomach/torso show Robert lying at a lower angle, closer to 45°. Sometimes, the blanket representing where Robert's stomach would be is all that is included. Robert [Bruce Willis] probably was not present when front views of Paul were filmed. (00:25:09 - 00:25:33)
