(30) Movies with the most mistakes

According to this website, the top 30 movies with the most audio, continuity, deliberate, factual, revealing and visible crew/equipment goofs are:

Apocalypse Now (391) – Continuity: After the helicopter attack when the chopper drops the patrol boat into the water, you can see the canopy and the radar type antenna break and collapse. When you see it again it’s in perfect condition.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (296) – Factual error: In the scene immediately following Harry and Hermione’s travel back through time, she tells him, “It’s 7:30.” The clock, however, is striking the bells for an hour, not a half-hour.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (288) – Visible crew/equipment: In the dueling scene, when Snape pulls Malfoy back onto his feet, a cameraman is visible on the far left of the screen.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (267) – Continuity: While Superman walks with the kid to the UN, the sky changes from sunny to cloudy in a nano-second.
The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (261) – Audio problem: When Bilbo is back at his house after the party, Gandalf asks him whether it is so hard to give up the Ring, and Bilbo says, “Well no,” though his mouth is very out of sync.
Star Wars (259)
The Wizard of Oz (259)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (257) – Deliberate mistake: When Merry is running away from the Orc in Fangorn Forest he has a big gash on the left side of his head, yet when he’s in Treebeard’s hands it has changed to his right side. Due to shot/scene flipping, this occurs numerous times.
Scary Movie 3 (254)
Beauty and the Beast (243)
The Pirates of the Caribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (240)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (225) – Visible equipment: In Shelob’s lair, when Frodo is caught in the web, in the first close-up while hanging there the camera pans down to his feet. Both ankles are wrapped and have foot supports and the wire cables attached to his ankle straps are visible, especially his left. In the next back shot, as Frodo turns around the wrist/arm support at his right arm, while he holds Sting, is seen too.
Jaws (214)
Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone (214)
Troy (212) Other: During the first shot of the 1000 ships, oarsmen can be seen rowing, but their oars are not disturbing the water. Yet as they approach the beach, the shot is from the same distance and now splashes can be seen.
The Big Sleep (204)
Titanic (201) – Continuity: When Rose is trying to rescue Jack she spies a fire axe. Smashing all the glass out from the holder she grabs the axe and turns round. The next camera shot shows Rose standing in front of the case with almost all of its glass intact.
The Goonies (198)
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (196)
Aladdin (193) – Factual error: The animators have clearly tried to make all the writing in the film look Arabic. However in one scene we see the faces of Jafar and the Sultan as they read a scroll. Their eyes move from left to right; Arabic is read right to left.
The Crow: Wicked Prayer (183)
Star Wars Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (181)
Gladiator (178) – Visible equipment: In the “Battle of Carthage” in the Colosseum, one of the chariots is turned over. Once the dust settles you can see a gas cylinder in the back of the chariot.
Star Wars III – Revenge of the Sith (177)
Independence Day (171)
Peter Pan (165) – Continuity: Tinker Bell comes in through the window, zips around the nursery and flies to the bookcase, knocking the two statue bookends and all of the books in between onto the floor leaving an empty shelf. Yet moments later Peter enters the nursery, follows Tink towards the hallway, passes the bookcase on the way and now there are other books on the top shelf.
Pearl Harbor (164)
Labyrinth (162)
Spider-Man (161)
