9 TO 5 (1980):
Mike Walker spotted a couple gaffes. First of all, a car is pulled over for a problem with it's taillights, but the lights are working fine when the car drives off. In addition, the boom mike is visible during the scene where Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin) worries about putting rat poison into her boss' coffee.
12 Monkeys (1995):
You would expect a movie about time travel to have all sorts of glaring paradoxes, but there appears to be only one, which Josh Martin spotted. When James Cole (Bruce Willis) starts to round a corner, his watch reads 9:30. Afterwards, it reads 35 minutes earlier.
Josh also found a bloody little gaffe: Cole returns to the future (his present) lying in a jail cell, and the head wound he received in the past is no longer there. When the scientists behind the mission are talking to him in the next scene, however, the wound reappears.
48 HRS. (1982):
In the scene right after Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy) gets out of jail, you can see his Porsche a few cars away from Jack Cates' (Nick Nolte) Cadillac. Steve points out that car was still in storage until much later in the movie.
2001: A Space Odessy (1968):
Everyone knows the opening to this movie: a bunch of apes are sitting around, then this giant rectangular slab shows up - with that famous "duhn ... duhn ... duhn ... DAAA-DAAAHM!" theme music playing, and the apes all jump up and down. Well, my eagle-eyed good buddy Vanessa Emlich noticed that one ape jumps up ... and never comes back down. Clearly, someone was asleep in the editing room the day they pieced together this disappearing act.
Joseph Martin found a couple other glitches: first of all, when the monolith is discovered on the moon, the dust on the moon billows. This is imposible, as the moon has no atmosphere, and therefore no weather or wind. Also, the scene where David Bowman (Keir Dullea) shuts down HAL's logic circuits was shot with a hand-held camera. The reflection of the cameraman can be seen in Bowman's space helmet if you look closely. Joseph reports that Stanley Kubrick would personally do the filming of the hand-held camera scenes, and the reflection may well be none other than the great filmmaker himself.
