What is your favorite movie mistake?

The mock sub was indeed from das boot. The sub pen was a real one the Germans built in France during the war.
An earlier draft of the screenplay had a protracted sequence of Indy and Marion fighting their way off the island. But it was anti-climactic after the Ark was opened.

The most painful one ever (and the one that stopped me from ever looking at mistakes for favorite movies):
In Jurassic Park, when the T-Rex snorts and blows Grant's hat off with its breath, the burst of air actually comes from the ground below (obviously from some kind of air cannon).
Once you see it, you can never unsee it! Curses!!

I always hate movies that have a lot of destruction on vehicles then once scene its there then the next scene its not or the position of something completely changed around. Movies that handle a lot of action and can do this right without any mistakes always impress me.
While not technically a movie mistake, I came across a youtube video a long time ago that had the title "Worst movie mistake ever". The mistake? Chekov gets Kirk's name wrong from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I watch, and behold.
Kirk: Mr. Chekov, when do those devices reach their final position?
Chekov: 27 minutes.. mark.
And that was it. Just that exchange. I was on the floor.
On a related note, Spock and Bones spontaneously switch jackets at the end of TMP.

Please tell me commenters ripped the poster a new one?
This was more than four years ago. I'm not sure where youtube was with it's interactions. Here's a blog that linked to the video which unfortunately has since been taken down.

That's not a mistake that just means 27 minutes "starting now"
Really? I thought I made that clear when I started with "technically not a movie mistake" since, you know, if Chekov did call Kirk "Mark", that would be a movie mistake. I think everyone in the universe knows that saying "mark" when giving the time. This was just some youtuber who wanted to make a random joke by taking something out of context. I just happen to think it was funny for the sheer idea of labeling it as a movie mistake, let alone the worst mistake ever.
I think I'll post an HD version of that fake mistake someday.

Love it when during the driod sale one of the Jawas has long fat human arms.
Not really a mistake...well, maybe an editing mistake. I was watching Last Crusade a few nights ago and noticed something I had never seen before. Had to check it out to make sure I didn't imagine it.
When Elsa hands Donovan the false grail, there's a shot where he holds it up and says "...this truly is the cup of the king of kings". In the background of that shot you see Elsa turn to Indy and move her head side to side as if to say "no, it's not". The very next shot is her turning her head (again) and giving him "the look" with no head movement.
I dig that I can still see new stuff in movies that I love.

Don't know if it was said yet, but in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the multitude of scenes where you can catch a glimpse of the actors face through the mouth of the turtle head....or the end battle with shedder where the camera goes beyond the set.

One of my favourites which I actually noticed when watching the film for the first time in the theatre was Lord Of The Rings Fellowship Of The Ring. When Aragorn is leading the Hobbits to Rivendell there is a brief bit of dialogue where I think Sam says 'Where is he taking us' to which Strider replies 'into the wild' this line is delivered whilst Viggo Mortensen walks past the camera and as he does, the bow on his back hits the camera and moves it slightly

These aren't too uncommon, but the flagrancy of the SNDN2 one (you can see about fifteen crew members) ranks it atop my list. The TMNT one gets honorary placement because I noticed it in theaters. And given that I was about 10 at the time, that's got to be pretty obvious.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.
And no, those people aren't supposed to be there. The boom mic definitely isn't supposed to be there. :lol
