Justice League picture

Corrected entry: When Steppenwolf tries to steal the box from the Amazons, one them jumps on his back and has 3 wounds on her right arm which change shape and move between shots.

oswal13

Correction: She has three horizontal red lines painted on her left bicep that do not move or change. Steppenwolf throws her around which may make it appear that they change, however.

Baywatch picture

Corrected entry: In the scene with the boat on fire Mitch says "When I say so, make a hard, left turn. 3, 2, 1, GO!", and they make a right hand turn. (00:40:30)

Correction: He does say hard right turn. It sounds a little like left due to the other noise but its definitely a right turn he says to make.

The_Iceman

Correction: I agree with the correction, Mitch says, "Hard right turn."

Paddington 2 picture

Corrected entry: At the beginning of this film, Paddington is shown living with two adult bears. The Explorer gives them their names, and introduces them to marmalade sandwiches. In Paddington 2, the bears are shown on a bridge, eating marmalade sandwiches and referring to each other by name before they see the little bear on the log, who is young Paddington.

Correction: At the start of the first "Paddington" movie, during the black-and-white film footage of the "The Explorer" Montgomery Clyde, the only bears Clyde meets are the two adult bears, whom he teaches to speak English and names Pastuzo and Lucy. Clyde's film footage ends as he says farewell to the two adult bears and tosses his hat to Pastuzo. Then it cuts to "many years later" and we see Paddington (he is not yet named Paddington at this point in time) already living comfortably with Uncle Pastuzo and Aunt Lucy, making their homemade marmalade. It's at the start of the sequel "Paddington 2" we are shown how Pastuzo and Lucy, who are fluent in English, originally found the tiny bear cub at the bridge, and adopted him. There is no mistake.

Coco picture

Corrected entry: After Hector plays for ChicharrĂ³n he drinks a shot of tequila, it should fall through his skeleton and hit the floor, but doesn't.

oswal13

Correction: The skeletons are also able to move and talk without muscles, tendons, or tongues and they have hair, eyes, and mustaches. We even see some eat at the party and one guy blew fire (which requires spitting out alcohol from your mouth). There's no reason to think a drink would spill out when they're able to do all these other things.

Underworld: Blood Wars picture

Corrected entry: Michael is portrayed as having been killed by having his throat cut. This contradicts prior films, which portray him as being far too powerful to die by traditional means. (Ex. In the second film, he is repeatedly shot and impaled, sustaining far greater damage to his body, but returns to life upon going into a hibernation-like state for a short period.) Unless he is brought back in a future installment, the portrayal of his death makes no sense in the context of the series.

TedStixon

Correction: Not only was his throat slit, but all his blood was drained from his body, which is different than the other times he was nearly killed. The blood is the key. However, Selene had to intervene at least 3 times to save Michael. For example, she cut off Viktor's head as he was about to kill Michael. But, as you say, even though the audience is lead to believe he's dead, it could just be a cliffhanger and we may find out a drop of blood was left in his body, or through some other method he fully recovers.

Jigsaw picture

Corrected entry: During the final scene with the laser collar traps, we can see that there are seven lasers attached to the collar (as per the bottom-up view of the beams burning through the ceiling above Halloran.) However, when the trap goes off, it makes eight cuts (as per the top-down view of Halloran's former head).

Logic Johnson

Correction: The cuts all line up perfectly, so one could assume that the "extra slice" on the back of his head is from the laser in the front, as the slices on the front and back line up. It just depends on how strong the laser-cutters are. As indicated earlier in the film, they are strong enough to slice through metal quickly and with ease, so it could be assumed that they would go through flesh and bone like butter. (You also gotta remember, the bone in the skull is actually pretty thin for the most part).

Gifted picture

Corrected entry: On the first day of school the teacher asks Mary a math question and she has nothing in her hands. When Mary answers, the teacher magically has a calculator in her hand to check Mary's answer.

Correction: She doesn't magically have it in her hands. She walks over to her desk to pick it up.

Greg Dwyer

More Gifted corrections

Correction: No, she does not. The first shot after she breaks the hammer, her hands are free. She then caresses her own hair and turns them into her trademark thorny helmet. She does conjure up a sword 27 seconds *before* the hammer but either the resulting shockwave blew it away, or she dismissed it for the theatricality of it. She loves theatricality.

FleetCommand

More Thor: Ragnarok corrections

Correction: Or he's just saying "the help" because that's what they are. Far too tenuous a connection.

Get Out picture

Corrected entry: Why does Rose's father throw away the man's brain if he is to transfer it into Chris' head?

Correction: He doesn't throw away the brain, first he throws the skin, then he throws the skull, he has the brain exposed when he calls for his son.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 picture

Corrected entry: When Baby Groot finds and brings items thinking they are what Yondu wants, he brings a desk that screeches when he drags it. There is no way he could have dragged it any great distance without alerting anyone, including the guards (seen later) posted nearby. Or if he were closer, Yondu or Rocket would have stopped him. Or even put it back (it's not seen again).

Correction: That's part of the joke.

More Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 corrections

Correction: While the term may not have been popularized until the 1980's, the use of "air quotes" goes back to at least 1927 where a magazine article wrote about a woman who would use her fingers to make quotation marks while speaking.

Darkest Hour picture

Corrected entry: A quartz clock is shown (it being quartz can be understood by the movement of the second hand, jumping each second). It was only in the 1960s that the development of cheap semiconductor digital logic made their public and domestic use possible - their use before that was limited to some specific applications (like some scientific laboratories and so on).

Correction: The second hand jumping each second is not unique to quartz clocks. An escapement providing a second hand that ticks once per second was invented in 1675 and popularised around 40 years later. It became the standard for pendulum clocks. So this clock is behaving perfectly normally for a mechanical clock.

Transformers: The Last Knight picture

Corrected entry: When Sir Edmund Burton is talking to Cade, he spots a picture from World War 2, mentioning that the bot "looks like Bumblebee." Burton then 'confirms' that it was Bumblebee. This can't be possible as Bumblebee didn't arrive on Earth, according to the Bumblebee movie, until the 80's and WW2 was finished by 1945.

koalakalla

Correction: The Bumblebee movie is a reboot of the franchise. It maintains some elements of the old films, but begins a new continuity.

Correction: The Bumblebee movie is NOT a reboot-and even if it was, this movie came out before they started trying to convince us it was a reboot. The more likely explanation for this is that Bumblebee had left Earth after World War II, then came back in the 1980s, as he does in Bumblebee.

It's not a full reboot, but it is a soft reboot, so in part that does matter.

Ghost in the Shell picture

Corrected entry: When Major and Batou go to feed the dogs, in the shot where the dogs run up to Batou he refers to a blood hound running up to him as Gabriel "hey Gabriel!" he says, then he starts feeding him. In the very next shot however the bloodhound is nowhere to be seen amongst the dogs. (00:20:15)

Correction: If you look closely, shortly after Batou says "Meet Major. Major, Gabriel", you can see Gabriel amongst the other dogs lower his head to eat the meat that Batou is giving them.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle picture

Corrected entry: Colin Firth's glasses change the blacked out lens from being over the left eye to being over the right eye in one shot right at the very end of the film, just before the scene cuts to the princess and her parents.

Leon3108

Correction: This is a shot of him reflected in a mirror.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle picture

Corrected entry: If the events of the first film were reversed after Alan Parrish won the game and he was returned to his own time as a boy why would his shack still exist in the game?

jbrbbt

Correction: This is a question, not a plot hole. It would seem what happens in the game stays in the game.

Adding to this, the game appears to be its own universe that's laws are not effected by what it does to Earth.

Cult of Chucky picture

Corrected entry: When Andy is trying to kill Chucky, one shot he is holding Chucky's arm but when he shoots Chucky in the chest, he's not. (01:19:00)

Correction: I just watched this scene and Andy is always holding Chucky's arm. He lets go after he's shot him in the chest.

The Post picture

Corrected entry: Hot metal typesetting is used to print the Pentagon Papers story in 1971. That process had been obsolete for at least 5 years, probably longer at the Post.

Correction: Hot Metal printing was used at the Washington Post until 1973. It was part of a labor negotiation.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets picture

Corrected entry: In the Spanish audio, and I guess that in the English version also, the movie says that "after 400 years, the Alpha station has traveled more than 1,100 million kilometers." That's not even half way across the Solar System. It has not even reached the planet Saturn. Light years would have been a better unit of distance to use.

Correction: The Alpha Station is not located outside of our solar system, nor is it located in another solar system or galaxy that would require light years of travel. It only travelled to deep space, which is anything beyond the orbit of the moon, to protect interfering with Earth. However, even before leaving Earth's orbit, alien creatures have been visiting it peacefully. The Alpha Station is a hub near Earth that other aliens have traveled too. So nearly 700 million miles (1,100 million kilometers) is a correct distance.
