Visible wires
Because what they do requires a lot of bravery, stuntmen have one of the trickiest and most underappreciated tasks on a movie set. In order to avoid hurting the stuntman during setup or giving away the stunt to the audience, great caution must be taken. A man is drawn into a hole that has opened in the deck in one of Titanic’s scenes. And if you watch that scene slowly and frame by frame, you’ll notice that the actor is being pulled under by wires that are attached to him. It kind of spoils the illusion, isn’t it?

Rose cut Jack’s hand off
To let someone to cut you free from handcuffs with an axe would take a mad person, particularly if that person closes their eyes before the cut. Rose wasn’t supposed to make that shot, as you can tell if you pay close attention to how she swings the axe. If it weren’t movie magic, she would have removed Jack’s hand by hitting the back of his hand instead of the shackles. That would also release him away from his restraints, albeit perhaps in a far more agonizing method.
