King Kong (1933)

Revealing mistake: When Kong is about to attack the train, the building on the right (a superimposed projection) wobbles like jelly for unknown reasons. It's not because of Kong's footsteps, for it never happens in any previous scenes.

Poltergeist (1982)

Continuity mistake: When Robbie throws his jacket to cover the clown, he throws it effortlessly and misses by far; one can even notice he throws it quite low. Shot changes and the jacket is flying high at a bigger speed.
