Underworld: Rise of the Lycans picture

Corrected entry: When Victor tore the necklace from Sonja, it appeared to have been broken off with only the pendant remaining. Next shot, it has a chain attached. (01:13:15)

Correction: When Viktor ripped off the pendent there were a few links from the necklace attached to each side.

The Young Victoria picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Victoria is viewing the House of Hanover family tree for the first time, there is listed under her uncle, William IV and her aunt, Queen Adelaide the names of two deceased daughters, Charlotte (d. 1819) and Elizabeth (d. 1820). Yet, William IV and Queen Adelaide had no children (although William had 10 "illegitimate" children through a previous relationship). Charlotte (d. 1819) was actually the deceased daughter of the previous King, George IV, William's elder brother. "Elizabeth" did not exist, as George IV had no other children, the second brother, Frederick, had no children at all, and William had no children by Adelaide. (00:02:20)

Correction: I'm sorry, but King William IV did indeed father two daughters by Queen Adelaide when they were still Duke and Duchess of Clarence. HRH Princess Charlotte of Clarence died on the day of her birth, 27th March 1819. HRH Princess Elizabeth of Clarence died aged almost 3 months on 4th March 1821 and has a memorial statue by W. Scoular in St George's Chapel, Windsor.

Couples Retreat picture

Corrected entry: During the "nude" scene on the beach, when Shane is asked to drop his drawers, he wears shorts initially, but then in a subsequent shot right before the "reveal", he is wearing pants.

skyflower

Correction: Is there any wide shot version dvd that shows the shorts? I never saw him wearing shorts.

Coraline picture

Corrected entry: When Coraline first enters the other world and enters the kitchen, notice on the table in the kitchen is a vase of yellow flowers, in the middle. When the mom says "Bu-bu-bu- buttons?" the vase is on the far left side of the table.

moviedude345

Correction: When Coraline enters the kitchen, the vase of Narcissi is in fact in the middle of the table and you see the back of a chair behind it. When the Other Mother says "Bu - bu-bu-buttons" (00:17:10), she is in closeup and the flowers can be seen at her left elbow, in the middle of the table and in front of the chair, where they were a second before.

My Sister's Keeper picture

Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie when Campbell Alexander is leaving Anna, she hugs him and says, "Thanks, Mr. Wright." His name is Campbell Alexander, not Mr. Wright.

Kaka

Correction: She actually says, 'Thanks Mr. A' not Mr. Wright.

The Box picture

Corrected entry: When Arthur returns to the table with the wrapped cardboard box, we never hear the audio of what would be the paper being removed before he opens it. Instead we see and hear a single crinkle of the paper as he removes it from underneath an instantly unwrapped box.

jerimiah

Correction: The sound of the paper unwrapping is heard just as the boy talks to his dad about Santa breaking and entering.

Correction: A quick search for flights from KEF (Keflavik, Iceland) to JFK shows 6 hour flight times.

The Last House on the Left picture

Corrected entry: When the three killers and the boy are in the house, the boy goes into the bathroom and loses his composure. As he comes out of the bathroom, look on the right side of the screen and there is what appears to be a microphone from the set visible.

Correction: That's not a microphone, it's an ornament hanging on the wall. It's visible as he goes into the bathroom as well.

Friday the 13th picture

Corrected entry: When Chewie has the shot of alcohol with the flames on the top of it, the actual flame disappears in one shot and the height of the flame differs a few times as well.

Hamster Premium member

Correction: Having consumed many flaming shots myself, I can attest to the fact that the flame height and visibility can vary. In fact, I have burned myself on a shotglass because I did not know it was even lit.

The Final Destination picture

Corrected entry: In the mall scene where Nick's trying to keep Lori from going into the mechanism of the escalator, her legs are being shredded (crushed) in the machine and blood is coming out of her mouth. Medically speaking that can happen if there is internal bleeding, or a wound relatively close to the head, but this would not happen with a broken leg.

Correction: It's a premonition. Premonitions are not always very factual, especially if the person having the premonition doesn't know the "actual" specifics. So, at best, it's a character mistake, not a movie mistake.

I Love You Phillip Morris picture

Corrected entry: At the hour mark Steven receives a printed template for a bail application which is headed "Bail Assignement". Clearly the title has been misspelled with an extra 'e' in assignment. However, 25 seconds or so later, the same piece of paper finds it way to a legal office for processing with the correct spelling "Bail Assignment". (01:06:05)

craigistop

Correction: That's not the same form. That's the duplicate Steven had made. His 'friend' obviously spelled "assignment" correctly when he created the forgery.

Shorts picture

Corrected entry: Lug, Loogie, and Laser could not have found the rock at the end of a rainbow. Rainbows are actually circles high up in the atmosphere and never touch the ground.

Correction: It's just meaning to be a fictional movie with no logical side to it.

Dragonball Evolution picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where the grandfather is attacked, the entire house is demolished into complete rubble. A few scenes later, the grandson is seen walking around in the second floor and walking through parts of the house.

Correction: If you look at the house while it is being destroyed the back half is still standing so it is possible for Goku to walk around the back half.

japon68

I think the correction is valid, since the entry is wrong saying "the whole house", no doubt. I do think that the part that is destroyed, compared to what is shown 'exploding' with Piccolo's force choke on steroids, is too small ultimately, but we do see that the central part of the destroyed section does not go all limp like the rest, so, in doubt, I guess it can be possible. It's not a huge and obvious mistake at least.

Surrogates picture

Corrected entry: In the middle of the film Bobby shows Peters that he is able to disconnect the operators from their surrogates causing the surrogates to instantaneously freeze in their movement. At the end of the film Bobby and Greer disconnect all Operators from their surrogates before the virus destroys them. This time the surrogates move on and can further be directed by their operators.

Correction: What is done at the end of the film is not the same action that was done during that attack on a woman. They stopped the humans from receiving the same signal that the surrogates would receive. They didn't stop operating them, else Peters' surrogate body would have done the same thing. They just severed the link for the data stream (that would disable the surrogates and kill humans) so that it only affected the surrogates.

The Blind Side picture

Corrected entry: When Oher is blocking 66 in his first game, as he drives him "to the bus", in the middle of the play his number appears to change from 66 to 56.

Correction: Football jerseys often wrinkle and can change the appearance of numbers, which explains why it only appears to change from 66 to 56.

The Stepfather picture

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when "Dadid Harris" meet the blonde woman in a supermarket, we can see a pansement on his neck.The action is supposed to happen over a month after the family attack and yet he always wears a bandage on his neck.

diamond971

Correction: While the scene in the hospital takes place a month later its not stated when the scene with "David" takes place. . And there could be a number of reasons as to why he might still have a bandage there.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Connor and Jenny are cleaning up the wedding cake after Connor makes the cake fall, notice the cake topper Jenny is holding. First she is cleaning the "bride". The camera goes to Connor for only a second or two, but when they go back to Jenny, she is cleaning the groom.

Correction: That "second or two" is about twice as much time as it would take her to switch. Not a mistake at all.

After.Life picture

Corrected entry: When Eliot goes into the morgue and Anna is lying on the table, Eliot takes off his black dress shoes, slips on a pair of white rubber shoes, and puts on a white coat. Then he approaches the table Anna is lying on, walks around the table, and the black dress shoes are back on his feet.

Pjpodemski

Correction: After he puts the white rubber shoes on, all the other shots when he's at the table, he still has them on. You can tell because they don't have the back and his heels are exposed. However, he's wearing black socks and his shoes are in the dark and shadows, making it look like his other black shoes (with the exception of the exposed heels that his other shoes did not do).

Bishop73

Bishop73. If you watch closely, you will notice that he takes the black shoes off. Then when he walks around the table, he is still wearing the black shoes that he took off.

The Uninvited picture

Corrected entry: When Anna goes down to the boathouse at night, because she hears her mother's bell, the outdoor light is on. Then when she sees her mother the light is off, but when Alex comes in the light turns back on. In the next shot it's off again.

juiicyyxo

Correction: The outside lights are motion sensitive, as seen in other scenes when Anna and Alex are walking outside the house and they are startled by the light snapping on.
