In the party scene of the first American Pie movie (the party where Stiffler got the "pale ale"), the beer cups changed from blue to red.

I saw that. It drove the hell out of me.
I thought it went from blue to clear?

When I saw Spider-man in the theatres, I noticed that after Parker nails the school bully with the tray off food, in the next seen when he's being chased after it's all cleaned up. ... Meh, I was proud of finding it

Computer progress bars barely get done in time.
any explosion can be survived if you jump just as it goes off.
if you save a girl, she will have sex with you.
all mortal enemies would rather fight hand to hand than to shoot the other when one has a clear advantage.
Macs never explode or get shot up in fire-fights as opposed to PCs.

Maybe it was blue to clear. I just remember catching it, and I thought it was funny.

Here's an interesting little mistake: a friend reported that in one scene in Seabiscuit, several of the characters walk in front of an actual statue of Seabiscuit, but the statue wasn't even erected until long after the events portrayed in the movie took place.

It was a really funny movie. No joke. It was just so completely stupid that it was hilarious.
The President of the United States is always in tip top fighting form, well versed in anything from hand to hand combat to defusing nuclear missiles.
All Russians are drunks.
The Entire crew of the Красный Октябрь sponaniously starts talking in english then switches back to Russian as soon as Americans come around. ( I know it was to make things easier so people didn't have to read all the subtitles, but what the hey.)

If you want to have your face, accent, size and build genetically altered, and then build a multi-billion dollar multinational corporation from scratch, build a secret ice castle and manage to secretly launch a giant satellite, you only need to reserve about 14 months on your calendar.

- The good guy always uses a mac, where as the bad guys use a PC.

Okay, did you notice Sean Connery's "Russian"? I don't know what language he was speaking, but that sure as hell wasn't Russian.

Re: Things I've learned by watching movies
I'm not talkin' about the accent, I'm talking about the stuff with subtitles. That wasn't an accent problem, it was a "he's not speaking any actual language" issue.
