Midnight Express picture

Corrected entry: What makes Billy so sure (at least he looks very relieved after the famous, sweaty scene at Istanbul Airport) he won't have any problems dealing with the U.S.customs officers? Especially coming from a known "drug country" such as Turkey?

S.Holmes

Correction: Being caught in Turkey would be a lot worse for him than being caught in the US. Getting out of the country would be the first step, it's not strange that he relaxes for a while after believing to have gotten out.

The Wiz picture

Corrected entry: When Dorothy and the crew are in the subway station being chased and caught by various objects. The Tin man (Nipsey Russell) is standing in front of an electrical box. The wires come out of the box on either side of his head. Watch him start to shake as if being electrocuted before the wires touch his head.

EKE64

Correction: Actually, after watching this scene, he starts to wince in perfect timing, as the first electrical wire connects to his metal body.

FM (1978)

FM picture

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, deejay Jeff Dugan oversleeps, and must race to the radio station in order to start his 6 a.m. shift on time. I don't know what time of year this movie takes place, but as Jeff drives to the station, the sunlight is much too bright for it to be 6 a.m., even if it's summertime.

Correction: Define "too bright". Is the sun too high in the sky? Is there some other indication of the time of day? Where I live it begins getting light at 0400 in the summer, and is full daylight and is as bright as it's going to get at 0500.

Rescue from Gilligan's Island picture

Corrected entry: Before the storm, the Professor said that his equipment and the radio hadn't worked for ten years, and after getting to Hawaii, they were confused by the procession of presidents. Yet, the radio, when it was working, would have kept them up to date on all of the events up to the tome that it stopped working. Even then, the professor could have repaired it.

Movie Nut

Correction: In ten years the presidency would have switched at least twice so no mistake there. Also, the professor did not have the ability to fix the radio since he didn't have proper tools.

Death on the Nile picture

Corrected entry: Filming stopped every day at noon because the heat reched temperatures of over 130 degrees F.

Correction: You can see by the almost complete absence of shadows in some scenes (in particular, the Karnak Temple scene) that some scenes were shot at and around noon.

Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke picture

Corrected entry: As Cheech and Chong are watching the nuns get busted, the shot from inside the van shows the driver's door open. But when the shot changes with the van in the background, you can see the door is shut.

Ral0618

Correction: You can clearly see the door is never shut from when the deputy opens it to they drive away.
