Your single most annoying thing/mistake in a movie!
Discussion
About the only one I've spotted myself is a bit geeky - in Ronin, during the car chase sequence that takes place in the South of France, the guy in the van is tracking the Audi and showing it's position (lat/long) on a display in his van. But the lat/long is for somewhere just outside Munich, not the South of France.
I did wonder how, in Tomorrow Never Dies, the baddie steals a GPS encoder and uses it to confuse the British ship into thinking it's in a different place, but it somehow doesn't confuse the Chinese planes that attack it. Apparently that's not a mistake, the Chinese don't use the same GPS system, I guess on reflection that's not much of a surprise.
I do find myself paying too much attention to stuff in the background, clocks going backwards and so on.

Or if someone not particularly computer literate leaves it unlocked at work, go onto that site and press F11 for full screen. Sit back and enjoy the confusion.
Or put Windows into hi-contrast mode, flip the screen upside down (Ctrl Alt Up-Arrow IIRC with Win 7) and lock the screen.Punishment for leaving the computer unguarded.
Either that or use their computer to send an email to the boss telling them they have a secret crush on them.

At our work if someone leaves a computer unlocked, tradition dictates that you send and email to the workshop sergeant major complimenting him and offering to buy a crate for the workshop
Whereas we write an email stating what the guy would like to do to one of the other guys and send it to everyone from the CO Down. Especially funny when the Sgt Major leaves his unlocked and the AO is the one sending the email.
I swear no one has picked up on this mistake in the original F and F!!!
Mia walks into a room of Doms house with Brian (the party scene after they evade the cops and the showdown with Chan) and as she walks in she runs her fingers through her hair as she puts her arm down she clonks her elbow into a side drawers or whatever furniture and you hear the clonk!

Delete all the shortcuts on their desktop etc.
Set the screenshot of the desktop as the wallpaper.
Swap left and right mouse buttons around
Flip the screen upside down and then auto-hide the task bar.
Allow hilarity to ensue.

Watched Smokey & the Bandit the other night. 1977 - Crikey 40 years old next year. Anyway, first time he evades a police car, in one shot it is wet through with rain, and then the camara position changes to him pulling up behind a building and everywhere is bone dry. Stood out like a sore thumb.

Didn't have computers when I served, or mobile phones, or decent personal radios!
The computers are nothing to shout about, only a chosen few get official mobiles and whats a decent personal radio! ??Well, it was a decent ruse to get yourself some 'Walkman' batteries out of the SQ's store!
Pretending to drink out of an empty cup.
Frantically typing on a computer when actually it would be just a couple of clicks on the mouse.
Cars exploding from the interior after a crash.
Women kicking the s

Playing with a plate of food instead of eating. (Just talk and eat and spit food at each other

Not a mistake as such but why, when the senior police officer says " Ok , let's go" or words to that effect does nobody say "hold on, I need a leak before we go"?
And why is the kidnap ransom always delivered in a brand new brief case. It's like the victim's family are thinking "let's give the kidnapper a nice present because he's such a nice bloke".
