The Mist picture

Corrected entry: When Norm is pulled out through the loading door, he is first pulled all the way out. (He sits up, bangs his head, falls straight back down and is pulled another meter or so.) In the next shot, which shows him from above, his entire upper body is still inside the door, before he is pulled through again. (00:26:45)

Twotall

Correction: Having just watched this scene, in actuality, he is pulled almost all the way out of the door, but catches it with his hands, "above his head," and pulls his head back inside. His upper body isn't pulled back inside until the shop clerk helps pull him back a bit.

Correction: Which is the point of the joke.

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead picture

Corrected entry: Hank is easily convinced by his accomplice to wait in the car while the accomplice does the robbery, but the plan for the robbery includes getting into the safe, which only Hank knew how to do.

Correction: This actually fits in with Hank's character. He doesn't have much common sense. He's a follower, not a leader, he was very passive. With the extreme flow of emotions at the time it's likely he never even thought that far ahead.

Correction: In Apocalypse, the only one she was able to "sniff out" was Angie. Carlos and Jill's partner were bitten and showing signs of infection when Alice noticed [Carlos coughed, and Peyton staggers in pain]. Angie and her were both injected, but lived normally. That might be the only type of infected that Alice is able to sense. Since LJ was bitten in this film, she wouldn't be able to sense that he was infected.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry picture

Corrected entry: Rob Schnieder, as the minister, refers to Canada as the 'Commonwealth of Canada' as opposed to the 'Dominion of Canada.'

Ian Mugford

Correction: The phrase "Dominion of Canada" is about 50 years of out date. It's never used any more and I doubt that a minister would say it. The country is only properly referred to as "Canada".

Correction: He did not climb through the glass, the window slammed behind him and the glass broke.

Leaving shards that would have cut him.

Meet Bill picture

Corrected entry: When Bill is eating the donut during the interview, the amount that he has eaten erratically changes during the scene, from being larger to smaller and so on.

Correction: When he is in the interview, he eats TWO donuts. The size of the donut doesn't change, the actual donut he is eating changes. As indicated by the fact that two donuts are missing from the plate at the end of the scene.

Shoot 'Em Up picture

Corrected entry: When the guy jumps through the sunroof, the sunroof breaks into several large pieces. Sunroof glass is tempered and very strong. If the glass broke, it would shatter into small pieces, not large ones.

Ian Hunt

Correction: It never breaks into large pieces. When he shoots it, the bullet holes cause it to shatter in place. Then he falls through it and it breaks apart into the tiny pieces.

Enchanted picture

Corrected entry: After the battle with the stepmother/dragon, she falls and pulls part of the four corner towers down with her. But after Giselle and Robert stop sliding and kiss on the roof the camera zooms out and all four tower are there and intact.

Correction: When Narissa falls, she hits the spire tower located beside the ballroom balcony - just note Nancy's, Edward's and Nathaniel's reactions, as they look to their left when Narissa hits it. When Giselle and Robert slide down the center green steeple tower, as the camera pans out we are only able to see the four spire towers located right at the steeple's base. Since the ballroom is many floors below, we are unable to see the broken spire tower at the corner of the building's stone facade.

Ocean's Thirteen picture

Corrected entry: Only two people had access to the diamond viewing room, Bank and Sponder, but the FBI had no problem getting in.

Correction: The audience is never shown how Sponder accesses the diamond viewing room. In her drugged state, she could've left the door open or unlocked without noticing her own carelessness. Also, Linus and his father (the fake FBI agent) already had the details of the "arrest" planned out, so it's reasonable to conclude that Linus made sure the door was left unlocked so his father could get in.

Breach picture

Corrected entry: On the envelope containing the videotape is indicated a German address with a 4-digit zip code. In Germany 4-digits zip codes existed only until 1993, when they were replaced by 5-digits codes. As the story place in 2001, it should have been a 5-digits code. (01:11:55)

Correction: It was an Austrian address (Vienna is the capitol of Austria), so a 4 digit number is correct.

Bee Movie picture

Corrected entry: When arriving at LAX airport, the trolleys are marked with "JFK".

Correction: If you're talking about the blue suitcase carts, the only thing we see is the company's logo, not JFK.

Shrek 3 picture

Corrected entry: There is one scene towards the end where the sun can be interpreted as coming from the front right (shadows top left to bottom right)(it's a long-distance shot of Far Far Away either as the women or the animals approach). However at the top left you can see a full moon - it should be crescent.

Correction: That's not a full moon, it's a new moon. Though the sun shines on the back side of the moon, the light reflected off the Earth illuminates it slightly so it's often visible during the day.

The Kite Runner picture

Corrected entry: Rahim sees the picture of Soraya and puts it down on the table. In the next scene, the picture is not seen anymore.

Correction: The picture does not disappear. Rahim Khan puts it behind the tea kettle, which blocks our view.

Blades of Glory picture

Corrected entry: Whenever a gold medal is shared in any competition, there is no silver medal awarded, just two golds and a bronze. But we see four winners in the opening scene - 2 golds, a silver and a bronze.

Jason Feng

Correction: We are also talking about a made up competition in a fictional movie. Yes, the World Wintersports Games are based on the Olympics, but that doesn't mean all the rules are the same.

The Darjeeling Limited picture

Corrected entry: The Bose iPod player Jack uses cannot be used on batteries. However, it plays while the boys are sitting around a fire in the wilderness, with no power outlets around.

Correction: The portable version (available in black or white) uses Lithium Ion batteries. See: http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_STATIC_PAGE_EVENT&url=/home_entertainment/sounddock_systems/sounddock_portable/features.jsptabs.

American Gangster picture

Corrected entry: In one of the final scenes, when the drugs land at Newark aboard an Army plane, Russell Crowe repeatedly calls the Army official in charge of the operation 'Captain.' Judging by his highly decorated uniform and his age, this man cannot be a captain.

Correction: He has captain's rank on and that makes him a captain. The age someone looks and the age they really are differs. And his uniform wasn't that highly decorated.

August Rush picture

Corrected entry: Because of his despair for losing Lila, Louis does not play his guitar for eleven years. When he decides to start playing again, he takes out his guitar and plucks every string. His guitar is perfectly tuned, and this makes no sense. As I am a guitar player myself, I know that if you go so long as a month without touching your instrument, it will go severely out of tune. And he didn't tune it off camera before he did this, as we see him open the dusty case for the first time in a decade and play the strings immediately afterwards.

Correction: When he first plucks the strings they sound awful.

Death Sentence picture

Corrected entry: When Kevin Bacon is buying the guns from John Goodman, he lays his red backpack containing his money on the counter. Bacon throws some money on the counter and, after receiving the weapons, walks away. When Goodman scoops up the money we can see Bacon's backpack still on the counter, but in the very next shot Bacon is several yards away with the backpack in his hands.

Phixius Premium member

Correction: John Goodman packs up the guns in a black sack like bag and Kevin Bacon walks out with the guns only carrying that black sack. He never takes the red backpack.

Lars and the Real Girl picture

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie there are visible microphones at the top of the screen. It's very visible in the scene in the beginning when Karin and Gus are in bed.

Correction: There are no visible microphones in any scene that I saw. There are also none on the widescreen DVD version. If the submitter viewed this in the theater, it's possible that it's the fault of the theater projectionist, not the movie.
