LA Confidential
In the final shoot-out, Officer White advises Detective Exley that he is going under the building by pointing to a square open hole in the floor. The first shot of the hole shows it is clear with nothing blocking it; when White walks over to it there is now a board covering the hole that he has to kick through to break it.
Two and a Half Men
(Season 3: Episode 1 - "Weekend in Bangkok with Two Olympic Gymnasts"): When Allan falls off the ladder you can see the ladder has been set up so it will fall back safely. As the ladder goes back towards the balcony rail, it hits the railing and bounces up, but the bottom of the ladder, which is unseen, seems to be planted as it does not move during this. In the episode, Allan was climbing up the ladder and it wasn't secured with anything at the bottom, thus the reason for him falling off the ladder.
The Dark Knight
In the opening shot, there is a long shadow over the roof of the bank building as the camera zooms over and towards the windows in the far building. In the next shots, the shadow is gone as the robbers glide across and land on the roof.
Walking Tall
In the scene where Hamilton shows up to talk to Chris after he's been attacked, we see Chris unload some wood from his truck, then belt on a tool belt. After belting it on, he pulls his shirt out from under the belt and we see his stomach. There are no scars on his stomach from the earlier attack on him. Later in the courtroom, Chris opens his shirt and we see scars from his collarbone to below his navel.
Shoot 'Em Up
Smith is attacked by several henchmen in his warehouse apartment. He grabs the baby and jumps on the rollers of a conveyor, sliding across the room and shooting two of the bad guys in front of him while a third runs up behind the conveyor. When Smith gets to the end of the rollers he stops himself, hangs down over the end of the rollers, and shoots the man at the far end of the conveyor in the chest. If you work out the math on the angle he is firing from and the length of the conveyor, it is an impossible shot. The man would have to be at least 27 feet behind the conveyor for the bullet to clear the rollers and hit him in the chest; in reality he was standing much closer.
Unaccompanied Minors
During the scene where the unaccompanied minors are in the unclaimed baggage room, Charlie finds a tape player in an unclaimed suitcase. He turns it on and starts dancing while holding it. The shot switches to one of the children, and in the next shot, the tape player is still playing, but it is not in Charlie's hand anymore.
Wall-E
In the life pod scene, a robot puts the plant in the middle of the pod. Just before this Wall-E and Eve peer around to see it doing so. If you look very quickly at Eve's back when the camera pans around, you can see two different textures flick on and off. This must be an animation error.
Superman
During the Golden Gate Bridge crash sequence, a reversed shot of a life-sized 1972 Trans-Am braking hard is shown. The next shot shows a model car smashing into a model school bus, and the car is suddenly a 1965 Corvette. The fimakers have painted it red & white so it resembles the Trans Am. (Timecode is for Director's Cut)
Saving Private Ryan
At the end of the movie, in the Omaha Cemetery scene where the old Ryan is reading Captain Miller's marker, the shoreline should be to his left, not his right. This is because all the stones face the same direction and, when reading them, the water would be on the reader's left. Only Miller's stone is facing the opposite direction- note that all the others look blank because we're looking at their backs.
Goal!
At the beginning, it shows Santiago crossing the border into the U.S. But the U.S. border patrol is on the Mexican side.
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead
Hank is easily convinced by his accomplice to wait in the car while the accomplice does the robbery, but the plan for the robbery includes getting into the safe, which only Hank knew how to do.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
During the Battle of Teth, a walker fires at one of the pillars. In the next shot, it hits the very top ledge. Problem is it was actually aiming at the middle, as was the other walker.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
During the battle against the dinosaur skeleton, you can see a SFX guy in one shot as the creature whips its head around. He is on the left edge of the screen, standing partially in the frame and visible for nearly a full second.
The Sons of Katie Elder
When the sheriff enters the bar to break up a confrontation between John Elder and Curley, he sends John Elder out of the bar. As Curley starts to follow Elder out, the sheriff tells him to sit down and finish his card game. Elder and Curley were standing facing each other for quite a while before the sheriff came. How would the sheriff know that Curley had been sitting there playing cards?
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder
The marauder squad are specifically told that the marauder suits are operated by the user's nervous system (hence the scene where their nervous systems are mapped and loaded into the suits), yet when they enter into combat later in the film, they're using joysticks and buttons to operate the marauders.
Forrest Gump
In the scene where Forrest gets his discharge papers, the sargeant calls him PFC, that is private first class. However, if he had served one tour in Vietnam, he would have been automatically promoted to SP4, that is one rank above PFC. When he is in uniform at the rally in Washington, he is wearing three stripes on his shoulder - that is sargeant, a rank he could not have earned after being discharged.
Street Kings
When Diskant is chasing Quicks, there is a cigarette behind Quicks' ear that disappears and reappears.
Hellraiser
When Frank is trying to stab that girl, his switchblade is obviously fake because there is a line on it that the dagger will go into when he hits her with it.
Mallrats
When Ben Affleck is beating up Brody, he calls him by his real name, Ben.
Man on the Moon
David Lettermen didn't wear glasses on T.V in the late 80's.
Ben 10
When the Tennysons drive towards the city's power plant, Grandpa Max is using the left side of the highway instead of the right. Even with a looming nuclear accident, correct traffic habits do play a role, especially on such a narrow highway. Who knows whether one might drive down the road in a hurry and you approach him on his side of the highway?
The Simpsons
In "Life's a Glitch", Lisa finds out that she has a seat on the spacecraft going to Mars as the proofreader. How though was she not informed of this before going to the rocket? The family only finds out about the rocket after finding Krusty's letter/invitation and the fact that she was on the list there would be no reason why she wouldn't have been informed of this. It was still New Year's Day so if it had been by mail then it would have to arrive before the New Year so as to make the plan work, being as it was a public holiday and no mail would be delivered. Therefore it would have to be delivered personally or someone would need to contact her. There were also many well known celebrities and figures ready to board the rocket. I can't imagine they were all home in time to gather their mail and were all somehow contacted, yet Lisa was simply walking around town and at church and they couldn't find her?

Emergency!
Season 3, episode 6, 'Snakebite': After Gage gets bitten by the Rattler, when the driver of Tractor 2 begins ascending the cliff, there is a nice close-up as he passes and this young stuntie is most certainly not the older driver seen in this scene. Not to mention the watchless driver suddenly acquires a black watch.
Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
As Gary and Gerti make it to the beach, Gary says he is going to "zap" the monster in the ocean. When they show him trying to zap the monster, his watch strap is undone, but when it cuts the strap is now secure.
