1. Maybe Jeepers Creepers isn't exactly known for realism, but it's still pretty egregious to spot the zipper on this monster costume:
United Artists / u/BlackMesaRyan / Viareddit.com2. The Odyssey may be the pinnacle of filmmaking to some, but that didn't stop editors from failing to notice that Jon Bernthal's character reaches for another arrow despite having one ready to go:

Summit Entertainment / u/withnail-1987 / Viareddit.com4. And you gotta be careful about reflections when shooting — you can see the camera's reflection in a doorknob at one point in The Matrix:
Warner Bros. / u/GlitteringHotel8383 / Viareddit.com5. You can also see the camera in this Happy Death Day scene — no reflection necessary:
Blumhouse Productions / u/bennyandthegentz / Viareddit.com6. Sinners may be a near-perfect film, but you can see the "for motion picture purposes" written on the bills in one shot:

9. In Toy Story, Buzz goes through the Hot Wheels loop despite this not being possible — his wing would hit the side of the loop as he entered:
Pixar / u/boredomswells / Viareddit.com10. It doesn't even take an eagle-eyed viewer to spot the crew member's hand in this shot from The Hurt Locker; they clearly help open this curtain for Jeremy Renner:

Dimension Films / u/creamy-buscemi / Viareddit.com14. You can also see some kind of brace or padding on LL Cool J's (or the stunt person's) arm as he falls in the same scene:
Dimension Films / u/creamy-buscemi / Viareddit.com15. In Enemy of the State, Will Smith's character notes a camera on him, then looks up, guessing it's in the smoke detector...besides it obviously being in front of him, very close to the TV, in order to get a straight-on angle:
Touchstone Pictures / u/Culjules / Viareddit.com16. Beca is apparently using QuickTime to make music in Pitch Perfect, because all the best mash-ups are made there:
