 here is a full clip of the gunfight at the end of High Noon. Skip to the 7 minute mark where Miller has Grace Kelly. Watch the final shootout and subsequent ending. there are two distinct flaws here.
See if you can spot them

Silly me, I forgot to put the clip in when I posted this. Here it is

Lenn;

Would guess when Kane shoots the bad guy, the bad guy's hat flies off but in the next shot of him lying in the street his hat is on his head.  When Kane throws down the badge, there is already a badge on the ground behind his boot. 

Now for you a the 1:30 mark in that sceen Kane is running down a alley along a wooden fence.  What is wrong in that scene?

 Great catch on the second badge Bill, I never noticed that.
 And you were correct on the hat of Miller. For the other one, if you rewatch the clip, look at the position of the body when you first see it in the street, it is laying north to south, yet when you see it again, it is east to west. (or visa versa)

And, did you mean the AC in the window.--Good one

Ok, so I've always been the only one to point out what is completely wrong about this scene from The Rock.  Watch it and see if you can figure it out, then I'll post below

Welcome to the Rock | The Rock (1996)









Answer below!

















Ok, so Sean Connery never broke INTO Alcatraz- that would be ludicrous.  Of course he only ever broke OUT.  So why didn't he just walk out the door instead of timing out the hellishly dangerous firetraps?  It makes no sense.

PSU, that's a plot device, not a mistake.
