48 Hours

In one scene, Nick Nolte's character is driving Eddie Murphy around in a convertible. First you see Eddie Murphy in handcuffs....next scene, no cuffs, he's got one arm on the back of the seat....then back to another scene with the handcuffs on.

Face

At one point near the beginning when they're collecting the crew, Robert Carlyle is in the car smoking. He lifts the cigarette to his face and he's not wearing a glove. In the next shot he smokes again and he's wearing gloves.

Face/Off

In the big speedboat scene near the end of the film, when Nicolas Cage's character is hanging off the side of the boat. The stunt double who appears for Cage in the far-away shots, where the entire boat is visible from above, has big long sideburns, which are in stark contrast to Cage's shorn hair, visible in closer shots. At various other points in the movie, stunt doubles appear of much different physical builds than the two actors, with markedly different hair colours, and I seem to recall that at least one of them had facial hair.

At one point the hero (John Travolta at that time!) learns that the bomb will go off on the 18th. We then learn that he's got 6 days to pry the information from Pollux Troy. We then flash to the bomb, and it shows 216+ hours. Unless we've gone to 36-hour days, something's wrong.

With two different blood types the body would have rejected the other face.

In the boat scene when the white boat crashes through the police boat you can see the front of the white boat shatter and then it's okay again.

When Castor is in John Travolta's body, he goes "home" and makes a romantic dinner for his wife -- the camera pans across the table, laden with a lot of things (spaghetti and meatballs, two lobsters). The wife is thrilled. Later on, when Nicolas Cage (John Travolta) is in a scene with the wife at the hospital, trying to convince her that he is her husband inside, he tells a touching story about their first date and how he took her out for surf and turf and didn't know she was a vegetarian, and she only ate bread, and she broke her tooth. Blah, blah, blah -- it was very touching. Wouldn't the wife have noticed something was wrong if her "husband" made her a meal featuring lobsters and meatballs?

In the beginning of the movie when they have the shoot out in the hanger, the cop/stuntman runs around the corner to shoot at Nicholas Cage and has his wire harness hooked to his back. Next angle he is shot and blown back and you see the harness.

Fail Safe

There is a scene where interceptors, flying out of an Alaskan air base, are ordered to go to afterburners in a desperate attempt to catch the lone bomber.  When the commander of the flight signals his wing to light their afterburners, they cut to a shot of a jet firing missiles.

Falling Down

Michael Douglas's character's name is given by Robert Duvall as Bill something, yet in the credits, his name is D-Fens, as in his license plate.

The Fan

At one point Snipes jumps into the ocean to save his son, and when it shows a close-up on his face, you can tell it's not him. It's a pretty weak stunt double.

Fantasia

During the Pastoral, the part with the winged horses, when there going to the water, the little ones keep changing colors, right after the dive.

Far and Away

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman arrive in America to join the Oklahoma Land Rush in 1892. The event actually took place three years earlier, in 1889.

Fargo

Marge's husband is despondent because his entry in the stamp contest is awarded only use on a small denomination stamp. Actually, what are often called "duck stamp contests" or waterfowl stamp contests have nothing to do with postage stamps. This system, in use by the Federal Government's US Fish & Wildlife Service for over 50 years, is a way of funding habitat projects and is not used for postage stamps at all. The winners of wildlife stamp contests have their art recreated on stamps that must be purchased by hunters. Such stamps are used only on hunters' licenses, not on general postage.

Fatal Attraction

One scene has Glenn Close in bed shot from profile, and the sheet in down exposing her breasts. The film cuts to a frontal shot and the sheet is up around her neck. When it cuts back to profile, the sheet is down again.

Fathers Day

There is a scene at a bar with Billy Crystal's character and the woman who plays his girlfriend from the past. She tells him that he is the father of her son while he is drinking a martini. He is so shocked by the news that he practically drinks the entire drink leaving only a little bit and the olive in the glass when he sets it down. The camera swings to another angle and the martini is full again and after the camera changes angles a few more times, each showing a full glass, it finally goes back to the original angle where the glass is once again almost empty.

Fathom

In the plane chase at the end, Raquel Welch's plane goes into a bad spin (outside shot). We then cut to the inside of her plane, and the background is just rocking slightly from side to side.

Fear

In the scene where they are the roller coaster, the female co-star (I can't remember her name) has nail tips on, then 20 seconds later she doesn't, then she does again.

There is a change of scene from an inside shot to an outside shot in the first hour of the movie. There is an extremely obvious skip in the film where it was edited.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

When he throws the baseball at his stereo at the end of the movie, he uses his ungloved right hand, but when it falls back to the floor, it drops into a glove that goes on his right hand.

In a scene where Mr. Rooney is hunched over the sink in Ferris's home, the seat of his pants and the back of his sport coat are split. Yet at the end of the movie when he his loading the bus, both are intact.

When they have the Ferrari on the jack in the garage and are running it backwards, they show the dashboard - if you look at the RPM dial, it is at zero.

A Few Good Men

In one scene when Sam and Joe are leaving Danny's apartment, he opens the door for them. The scene changes to a close up of Tom's face. When it goes back to wide view the door is closed, and Sam has to open it.

When Danny and Sam go to visit Jo for the first time for the briefing about the case, Danny gets up to leave and walks out quickly, and exits to the right. Sam is still talking to Jo about "being careful down there." If you concentrate to the doorway, you can see Danny pass by the door again because he turned the wrong way.

In the scene where Danny comes in drunk after the bug scene with Downey not being at the meeting, Danny comes in a door from the back of the apartment. Nobody EVER came in that door and they never do again. In fact, no matter how hard you look, you can't find that door again anywhere.

During the trial at the end, Jack Nicholson's character struggles with Tom Cruise. After the struggle, his tie is all out of place. In the next scene, it's re-aligned.

Field of Dreams

Joe Jackson batted left-handed in real life....not right-handed as Ray Liotta portrayed.

The Fifth Element

Milla Jojovich has brown eyes in the priest's house, but Bruce Willis' character says they are blue, which they change to later in the movie.

After Leeloo fights the Mangalores in the Diva's room but then has to give the stones box to Zorg, she throws it to him with forward rotation but when the box is shown flying through the air in slow motion, it's rotating backwards.

Right after they "create" Leelou and she is lying in the plastic cage with the little straps on her, the guy approaches her and says, "if you want out, you are going to have to work on your communication skills." She gives him a dirty look, and then, if you put it in slow motion you can see a huge hole, pre-cut in the glass, that she busts her hand through.

In the begining, the Mondochiwan is suddenly trapped and left behind in the secret chamber where the element stones were kept. When everyone returns at the end to save the world, it is gone.

Fire Down Below

One scene involves Seagal being chase by a truck with the purpose of running Seagal off the road. Seagal is driving a pick up truck and everytime it gets hit by the huge truck it damages Seagal's vehicle, but every scene is diffrent. The window of Seagal's truck is shattered once or twice and then in a front shot is intact. then a part of the windshield is broken, but then is OK, and then broken again.

The Firm

When Tom and his wife enter their new home supplied by the law firm, there is a bucket with champagne and ice which is not in the least melted, even though there was no way for the law firm to know exactly what time Tom and the little missus would arrive.

3/4 of the way through, Tom's boss is talking to Tom's wife at the school through a chain-link, and every time the scene switches between the two, the position of his fingers in the fence changes.

As Tom Cruise is leaving Mud Island on a monorail car he passes another car with a Firm henchman in it. They see each other and the man gets out and runs across the bridge to catch Tom as his car stops. This is impossible since there are really only two cars which end up on both sides at the same time.

First Knight

In the scene towards the end where Richard Gere kills the leader of the bad guys, he steps back and at the bottom of the screen you can see that the sword hasn't got a proper blade - it has one that is about an inch long.

The scene with Richard Gere making his way through the obstacle machine is the single worst display of blue screen work ever created.

A horse gallops through a field and you can see a telephone pole.

First Strike

When Jackie Chan runs to the dock after his underwater shark encounter, he amazingly has his shirt dry cleaned in a matter of seconds.

When Jackie Chan is hanging from the helicopter, and it is fired upon by the enemy, the missile hits the 'copter and bounces back before the explosion takes place.

First Wives Club

At the end, when the three of them are singing, Goldie Hawn's shoes change from white, lace-up heels to a thicker-heeled white shoe.

When Elisse, Annie and Brenda decide to make their own first wives club, Annie's glass of wine is almost empty, but when they throw their rings in it, it is almost full.

There is a scene where Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton are trying to escape unseen from Bette Midler's ex-husband's apartment. As the three women are out on the balcony about to climb onto a window washing platform, Diane Keaton looks down to the ground below, throws her head back and screams at how high up they are. Watch carefully, in the split second that Diane Keaton throws her head back, the glasses she is wearing disappear, and as soon as her head is back facing forward the glasses reappear.

Near the end of the film, as Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn sing their song, watch Goldie's shoes. For the first portion of the song, which takes place inside, she is wearing open-toed, spiked-heel shoes with multiple straps. Then, as they finish the song outside, she is wearing closed shoes with a much lower heel.

Flashback

In the scene where the crooked sheriff is about to throw Keifer Sutherland off the train, the sheriff doesn't have any blood on his trouser leg, but if you check the shot right before then, he does have blood on his trouser leg.

Fled

There is one scene where two cops go into the bathroom to have a private talk. If you look at the edge of the screen and especially in the mirror behind them, you can easily see some microphones for about 5 seconds.

After he met the woman who helps them, Stephen Baldwin is wearing a shirt over his shoulders. In the very next cut, it is missing, but it reappears in the next cut.

When Baldwin and Fishburne jump off the bridge after being chased by the train, the chain that connects them by the wrist goes from just a couple feet to more than 4 feet, (you can see that they are at least six feet apart, and sometimes before they hit the water you don't see any chain at all). When they are in the water afterwards, the chain is back to a normal chain.

Flight of the Navigator

In the scene where the boy is eating a candy bar in the shuttle, one minute there are bites in the chocolate bar, in the next it's intact.

Fly Away Home

Amy has soap squirted into her eyes in the shower. She screams so loud that Jeff Daniels comes in to check on her. She then becomes so mad that he saw her naked that she screams at him and seems to forget about the soap in her eye.

Fools Rush In

While they're pretending to be a couple, Isabel takes Alex, to a dinner at her parents' house. During their visit, Alex holds a baby on his left shoulder. At the end of the night, he's at the sink apparently trying to wash off whatever the baby spit up on him. In one scene, his shirt is completely soaked, but the scene right after it has his shirt totally dry.

Forrest Gump

In the scene where Forest goes and visits Jenny (and is introduced to his son), there is an iron on the ironing board in the background. It was standing up, then down, then up.

In Forrest Gump they show someone reading from a USA Today that is from around 1970, but the newspaper wasn't even created until 1982.

Jenny shows Forrest a clipping of him in U.S.A Today, dated 1983, but on Jenny's Grave it says she died on March 22 1982.

When Forrest firsts meets Jenny on the bus to school, a girl is sitting behind them, then disappears.

When Forrest is talking to Jenny at her grave, he says "You died on a Saturday morning." But the date on the grave was not a Saturday.

When Forrest and Lt. Dan first try catching shrimp on the new boat they catch a bunch of junk, including a Mello Yello can, which hadn't been invented yet.

Near the end of the movie when he visits Jenny, it is supposed to be July 4th, 1976. On her TV is the New York Harbour Bi-centenial Celebration, and a shot of the Statue of Liberty shows her with a "gold" torch, which was added as part of her restoration in 1986.

If it is 1976, Apple Stock did not exist.

Forever Young

During one scene, Mel Gibson is talking to the young boy through the treehouse door and holding the boy's jacket. The next scene, there is no jacket and then it magically reappears.

Could anyone achieve muscular rehabilitation in just a few hours after being frozen for about half a century?

Would the labels on the Budweiser bottles be the same in the older era during the beginning of the movie, as it is in the latter part of the movie (1994)?

Mel's collar appears and disappears during the kissing scene.

Four Rooms

On the poster for the movie, Madonna's hair is red. In the movie, it is blonde. Also Marisa Tomei is dressed up nicely with blonde hair on the poster. However, in the film she plays a vacant, staring brunette wearing lay-around-the-house type stuff.

The Fourth Protocol

When the troops are closing in around the house, Pierce Brosnan is listening to Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. At one point the music is reaching the end, then it cuts to a shot of a soldier moving in closer, and when it cuts back the piece is finishing - however, the difference in time between the last bit we heard and the end isn't long enough for it really to have finished.

The French Connection

During the car chase scene under the "B" Elevated Train in Brooklyn (86th st), Gene Hackman passes the same curve at least 3 or 4 times. Look closely, you'll probably see the same movie theatre over and over again. Apparently, they rerun the same chase clip to increase the length of this scene.

The "B" train which he is chasing normally runs on the right most track (there are 3 tracks on this particular line). The middle one is never used except for out of service trains. Most of the train stations on that line service the right or left track, not the middle one.

Check out the sign over the front of the train, it should read "B", not "N". The "N" train runs on an entirely different line.

Friday the 13th: The Final Friday

When Jason is lured into the trap by the lady cop, he is encircled by a SWAT team, who promptly open fire. If they're in a circle around him, how come none of the cops get shot?

From Dusk Till Dawn

George Clooney is ripping up vampires and getting sprayed by blood, yet his jacket is all nice and clean through out the whole movie.

The Fugitive

After Richard Kimball first escapes they say he is near Route 15 and Interstate 57 heading towards Berkeley Dam. All these places exist, but Berkeley Dam (Kentucky) is around a hundred miles away from these two roads (Illinois), and besides, Berkeley Dam looks nothing like what they show in the movie.

When Kimball is jumping out of the back window on the train, the first view is from inside the train facing the back. He is the only person standing in the car towards that end. He kicks out the window. From an outside shot facing the rear of the train they show Kimball jumping out of the window. You can see another figure in the back window helping him out the window.

Kimball runs out the Grand Ballroom and ends up in the Presidential Suite in another fight. The doors he goes through out of the Ballroom actually lead into the Foyer for the Continental Ballroom, both of which are on the second floor. That Presidential Suite is on the 27th Floor.

Kimball has just finished talking on the phone with his lawyer when the cops hear the noise in the background. They figure out the sound is that of an El-Train. They then start to list the different places that have an El. One of the cities they name is Milwaukee - there has never been an El-Train there!

When Kimball jumps from the dam, the falling body is clearly a dummy, otherwise he broke every single bone in his body before he even jumped.

After Kimball escapes from the prison bus moments before it's demolished by a train, he steals an ambulance, is chased through the mountains by a police helicopter, is trapped in a tunnel, escapes by crawling through a drain and jumping from a very tall dam into a raging river. A very thrilling sequence, but he's supposed to be in Illinois, where there is no terrain remotely resembling this.

When Tommy Lee Jones has found out that Kimball is in "the presidential suite" he turns the car and goes to the hotel. If you look at the way he is turning the wheel compared to in what direction the car actually moves you will see that it doesn't fit - the car turns around to the left but the wheel is turned to the right.

In the scene where Harrison Ford is being chased out of Cook county Jail, he tries to get lost in the St. Patricks day parade. He takes his tan rain coat off, having a blue shirt undeneath so that he will look different. Notice that when he takes his coat off in the middle of the parade, the next shot shows him having absolutly no coat.

Full Metal Jacket

In the opening scene, Gunnery Sgt. Hartman is making his speech and passes by Privates Cowboy and Joker on his way to the other side of the barracks. On his way he passes Private Pyle standing to the right of Private Joker. Later in the scene, when he rushes over to confront Private Joker and then moves on to Private Cowboy and then Private Pyle, Private Pyle is on the left of Private Joker.

There's a scene where Sgt. Hartman goes to punch Pvt. Joker in the stomach. If you look carefully, he starts to punch with his left, then we instantly see Joker getting punched by his right.
