Stumbled across a Quora thread discussing overlooked movie inserts. This person posted a few that I was not aware of and I selected three below.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - C3PO and R2D2 hieroglyphs

Evil Dead II - Freddy Krueger's glove

Land of the Dead - Romero's nod to Shaun of the Dead

I think this falls under the first category, or maybe it’s just a stormtrooper being a stormtrooper…

Joss Whedon said that he found the harrier jet from true lies sitting in storage. And thats apparently the very same jet hulk rips apart in avengers.

Learned about this one a few years back.

Sam Raimi "There’s a torn-up poster of Jaws in [Craven’s] The Hills Have Eyes, so I thought it would be funny to tear a Hills Have Eyes poster into pieces in The Evil Dead, to tell Wes, ‘No, this is the real horror, pal."

Isn't E.T in one of the back shots of George Lucas's notorious prequel films ?

The Raiders/Star Wars links are famous (George Lucas). There’s also a Leia hieroglyphic?

The plane that he escapes in (first film) has the plane tag “OB-CPO”.

The club in the second film is called Club Obi Wan?

Some others, can’t remember them.

Nick Fury’s headstone in Marvel has the inscription “the path of the righteous man”…

…. part of his famous speech in Pulp Fiction (when they recover the briefcase and kill (almost) everyone).

If we're going for continuity mistakes then the one that sticks out the most for me, being a fan of Science fiction, is the Egg at the start of Alien 3. Makes zero sense.

Also there's a few in Jurassic Park.

I've watched The Two Towers probably 10 times and not once did I notice this. Came up in my youtube feed once.

Cinematic errors? That's a weird way of spelling "Marvel".

High-five, @Sweet Square

The Alien skull in the Predator's ship at the end of the second movie is quite a famous easter egg

The lost world has that whole ship crew being killed, but it was ferrying a T-Rex , I guess it was meant to be smaller dinosaurs or something that got them but was cut out.

 

[The Cat]

Wasn't there a really famous one in Spartacus?

Also Aragorn Breaking his toe when he kicked the Orc helmet. That was a real scream .

Pixar films are filled with so many Easter eggs that people have basically formed their the Pixar Theory which says that all the Pixar movies are all happening in the same universe just at different timelines.

Spoiler: From Glory (set in 1863)

In some theatrical prints of Gladiator (1999) there were insert shots of butterflies in honey in a bowl during the scene where Proximo talks to Maximus about going to Rome.
