Set it Off
I guess Jada Pinkett had the same hairstylist for this movie as she did for "The Nutty Professor". When she goes to visit Blair Underwood at his home you can clearly see that her braids are either latch hooked or just a wig.
Se7en

The Shawshank Redemption
When the warden offers Tommy a Marlboro (before he is shot) the pack has Marlboro Miles on the side. Not in 1965 or '66.
When the warden shot himself he shot in the middle of his neck but the bullet hole is on the right side.
At the end when Andy escapes, he is wearing the warden's shoes and suit shirt. It is obvious neither would fit a man of Andy's frame.

In the scene where Books and Gillam share a bottle of whiskey, as the camera changes angles the bottle label is always away from the camera.
When Books and Mrs. Rodgers are riding in the buggy after meeting up with Mike Sweeney, you can see the address numbers on the walls of the buildings they pass. There were no addresses on the walls in 1901.
In the scene where the two bad guys try to ambush Books while he sleeps, Books kills the first guy with a couple of gunshots, and the second guy waits a few seconds, then shoots at the bed again, as though no shots had been fired. In reality, he would have run away or shot at Books standing in the room.
When Books is in the barber shop talking to Mr. Beckham the undertaker, in different scenes Books' tie is either inside or outside his vest.
Books just finished a gun battle in the bar, and was shot by the bartender. Gillam runs in, grabs Books' gun and shoots the bartender dead with three more shots. Then he looks at the gun, and you can clearly see all the bullets still in the cylinders of the revolver.
Books tells Doc Hotstettler that "ten days ago, in Crede, Colorado......" and that he got on his horse and took off to find the Doc in Carson City, Nevada. That is about 600 miles away, which would mean riding 60 miles a day on horseback for a man dying of cancer and having trouble sitting without his "fancy pillow".
When Books falls in the bathtub, Mrs. Rodgers goes in to help him, and about three seconds later, he emerges from the bathroom fully clothed in his robe and a towel around his neck.
A couple of times in the movie, the camera pans to John Wayne, and his hair is parted on the wrong side. (Reverse editing flaw).

Both grandmothers are in the car when they see Lond Duc Dong on the lawn.
They make the point that Ted can't take the prom queen home in Jake's car because he
does not know how to drive a stick

movie when Jake shows up at the wedding, you can see that the Porsche is an automatic as
he shifts it into drive.

Sphere
The scientists in the water base make a mistake when creating an algorythm that decodes
a code sent by the Sphere, and mistake two letters (H and A) for another two (J and E).
But that would still screw around with any other word using those letters. For example, a
message reading:
HELLO. MY NAME IS JERRY was actually, with the right letters:
HELLO. MY NAME IS HARRY (The H and A were switched with the J and E), But the message
would have read:
JALLO. MY NEMA IS JERRY (or whatever, but you get the idea) if the letters were switched
properly.

When the chief is evacuating along with the rest of the ship, a door closing from the roof crushes her. MY GARAGE DOOR IS SMARTER THAN THAT! It knows when there's something in the way. You'd think by the future, they'd have evolved even past this. The door should never have closed on her.

He then plants it on the far side of the moon. Later on, sunlight starts to shine into the elevator through a slit at where the doors meet.
