Just started watching The Outlaw Josie Wales. American flag had 50 stars.

You got any, besides the well known obvious?

In Commando, Arnie pulls a guys arm off and then machetes where the arm was to simulate chopping it off.

In this FMJ scene, the tape wrap is on Pyle's right wrist from this angle but is on his left wrist when the camera angle switches to behind them

Also, in that scene none of the recruits (including Pyle) are utilizing the loop sling as was standard practice for USMC primary marksmanship instruction during Boot in that era.

Belay my previous comment….. at 2nd glance it appears the recruits may be utilizing loop slings, but not correctly. A DI or PMI would not have allowed that.

Opening scene is Swordfish says Midland, Tx then shows hills…. Not Midland, Tx

There is a scene in Gladiator where a back ground person is wearing blue jeans.

Well to be fair, it doesn't say how far north.

And on the obstacle course, Hartman says, "It should take you no less than 10 seconds to negotiate this obstacle." It's a tiny dialogue error, but it bugs me every time I watch the film.

In Twister when Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are trying to outrun the tornado at the end, the windshield on the truck goes from badly damaged, to undamaged, to less damaged.

Might have been intentional or they just didn't catch it, but the chain feeding up through the bottom of the case/pannier was really noticeable.

The Bullitt car chase passes the same VW Bug twice before they leave downtown San Fran. Possible, but not likely.

Back to the Future 2

When Old Biff gives himself the almanac in 1955, and then travels back to 2015, he shouldn't have been able to return to the same 2015. It would have been the future from the alternate timeline where Biff was a rich casino owner.

Stripes

When Bill Murray decided to go AWOL in boot camp and Harold Ramis wrestles with him on the tarmac. At one camera the duffle bag is under Bill Murray's head, and when they switch angles the duffle bag is off to the side.

this thread is about movie mistakes, not ambiguous plot holes which create opportunities for nerds to argue 40 years after the fact.

If Zemeckis/Gale hadn't made up some dodgy time travel rules, you wouldn't have the opportunity to post about BTTF on this message board 40 years later.

In an alternate timeline we'll call 2025A, you're doing something productive instead of obsessing about BTTF2 all because the movie had a completely logical plot that didn't violate time travel and therefore was a box office failure.

The guy hanging upside down in the snare trap gets his throat slit by the non-cutting edge of the machete.

Also, when Josie meets with Ten Bears there are jet contrails in the sky in the background. At least there was originally. They may have CGI'ed that out now.

Many of the classic Twilight Zone scenes had tall oil derricks in the background…..including the first season's western episodes. The outdoors lot they used bordered a large, producing oil field.

In Old Yeller, when the cow first gets hydrophobia, you can see fhe dart being shot into its left, back hip. The shot was fired from the lower right side of the camera.

The cow went nuts.
