Movie Mistakes

[Cricket21a]

There are so many movies out there.  I know there has to be lots of mistake in the final cuts.  I can think of a few, like in Gone with the Wind there's one scene where the streetlights had light bulbs in them but the time period was before there was electricity.  In My Fair Lady there's a part near the end where Professor Higgins is singing and taking off one of his shoes, seems his shoe just diappears at one point.  In the Wizard of Oz there Judy Garland's hair going long and then short around the time she meets the Scarecrow.  Of course then there are some things that are put into movies intentionally like the picture of a nude girl in one of the building in the Rescuer's Down Under and the word Sex that appears when Simba flops down and kicks up some dirt.  Can you think of anything you've seen as far as movie mistakes or flaws?

If I recall correctly, that is the site I was looking at once that a lot of their mistakes were mistakes.

One of my favorite continuity errors in a mainstream movie is from "A Few Good Men."  There's  a scene where Tom Cruise opens his apartment door for someone to exit, the camera angle changes, and he opens the door again.  

Lots of fun spotting these.

Paul Sorvino talking to one of the sub-characters in Goodfellas in the bar. He's smoking a cigar, talking with the cigar in his mouth, then at the next camera angle change; the cigar isn't in his mouth anymore.

My other favorite is in The Outsiders, when Dallas is taking Ponyboy to the hospital. There's a HUGE mud stain on the driver's window in one shot, but in the next shot it's completely clean.
