Revealing mistake: After Superman sets the Statue back in place, he lands on the ground and the wall behind wobbles, revealing where the movie was retouched to hide the wires.

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.

King Kong (1933)

Revealing mistake: In New York, when Kong abducts and kills a woman, and later abducts Ann, there's a shot of the street below. It is repeated all the time, sometimes flipped, with varying light intensities.

Red Sonja (1985)

Revealing mistake: The giant statue by the entrance of the fighting arena just casts a shadow of the legs, which cuts off under the knee. More noticeable in the close-up shots, revealing the rest of the body was a composite shot.

Red Sonja (1985)

Revealing mistake: When Kalidor, Sonja, and Falcon climb the wall, their hairs and clothes fall towards the rocks, revealing the camera trick and thus that they're crawling on the floor.

Red Sonja (1985)

Revealing mistake: When Sonja pops out the water dragon's eyes, one can see they're not eyeballs, but a cheap, flat prop with a socket behind to plug the eye onto the animatronic.

Red Sonja (1985)

Revealing mistake: During the fight at the shrine, a woman throws a warrior on top of a pile of rocks, and the rocks squeeze down, revealing they're made of foam. When the warrior falls on the floor, the rocks reinflate back to their previous shape.

A Fish Called Wanda mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During the trial, George calls Wanda a b*tch and runs towards her, jumping on the tables. The actor is replaced by a very obvious stuntman: younger, with a fuller moustache, and with longer and darker hair.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning mistake picture

Revealing mistake: While inside the tunnel in Rome, before the yellow Fiat makes a U-turn multiple skid marks from previous takes are visible. Though one might pressume that the marks were already there, they are at the same spot and have the same pattern as the skid marks that the cars make seconds later.

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)

Sacha

Revealing mistake: During the flashback scene, when young Indy jumps on top of the train and runs on the roof of the carriages, it's a very obvious and lame animation with unrealistic movements.

Fire Down Below (1997)

Revealing mistake: When Taggart is in the mine and escapes from the baddies, he jumps from right to left. Seagal's stunt is noticeable.

Fire Down Below (1997)

Fire Down Below mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the Mack truck is trying to run Taggart off the road, the scenery on the copilot's window is an obvious chroma: first, it doesn't match the wide shots (bright green background vs cloudy and dull); second, it is repeated a couple of times. Also, when Taggart's car is cornered next to a mountain, the close-up shows a blue background.

King Kong (1933)

Revealing mistake: When Kong strips Ann, it is a composite of two images: footage of a huge mechanical arm holding her and a puppet Kong in a miniature set. The arm footage is noticeable because the background wobbles, and the pasted area stands out from the miniature set behind.

King Kong (1933)

Revealing mistake: When the sea creature appears and the raft overturns, the people falling are very obvious stiff dummies. One even falls downwards and its two feet stick up from the water.

King Kong (1933)

Revealing mistake: When Kong is about to attack the train, the building on the right (a superimposed projection) wobbles like jelly for unknown reasons. It's not because of Kong's footsteps, for it never happens in any previous scenes.

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Revealing mistake: At the Empire State, the woman is an obvious square-shaped footage of film pasted on top of the footage of Kong. After the plane attacks Kong and his right arm goes limb it goes behind the pasted footage.
