The Phantom (1996)

The Phantom mistake picture

Revealing mistake: On the collapsing bridge, when the Phantom saves the kid, they swing on a rope hanging from the middle of the bridge. From a wide angle, it's very obvious that there is no possible way whatsoever that the short rope reaches the safe edge of the cliff. When the angle changes to the edge of the cliff, the rope is suddenly hanging from somewhere right above the edge.

The Phantom (1996)

Revealing mistake: When the Phantom chases the truck, he holds onto a branch where he later stands to attack the truck. In the close-up, one can see it's an obvious metal bar to allow for a safe stunt.

Revealing mistake: When Diana is about to jump off the plane onto the galloping horse, her hair moves wildly. When the shot changes, she has been replaced by a stunt who looks nothing like her and has her hair fixed.

Howard the Duck (1986)

Howard the Duck mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the Overlord extends his arm outside the truck, lights up and electrocutes a cop the shadow that his arm casts is not real, but FX made. Problem is, his arm does not cast any shadow on the truck for a couple of shots.

Visible crew/equipment: When the cop commands Overlord to turn off the engine, a big black tower from the filming equipment is reflected on the front part of the truck. It is not visible in the wide shots of the place.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the AA machinegun on the train goes berserk and destroys everything, Indy hides behind some crates. For several shots, Harrison Ford is replaced by a lame CGI, which transforms his head into a videogamish, lifeless face.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When young Indy jumps from his car to the motorbike and fights against a German - and the following scene where he rides on the bike towards the train - his body and especially his face are a blatant CGI creation with unnatural movements, dead eyes, and waxy, lifeless expressions (most noticeable in theater screenings). (00:05:53)

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny mistake picture

Continuity mistake: A woman is shot at at the college and lies down with her right leg bent. A man tries to move her but is killed before he does. The shot changes and her right leg has swapped to lying straight.

Maleficent (2014)

Maleficent mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the fairies are cooking and Aurora says she is moving out, for a brief shot the amount of flour on the left side of Knotgrass' brown apron disappears. Shot changes to the previous angle and the flour is back. It's not because of magic or due to a plotwise decision, it's a continuity mistake between two different takes.

Suggested correction: Considering the flour on her face is fading away, who's to say it's not on her apron as well?

Splash (1984)

Beauty and the Beast mistake picture

Continuity mistake: There are 2 different designs for Gaston's chair that alternate all the time: one covered in dark fur with V-shaped antler armrests, and another with a lighter coloured fur with S-shaped antler armrests. Also, both antlers on each side of the backrest differ slightly.

Continuity mistake: During the parade, a red convertible skids and stops in front of Indy. Shot changes and it's skidding and stopping again.
