Corrections

The 20 biggest mistakes in Jurassic Park

Mistakes

The Desert Eagle that Miller & Lex use to shoot Aliens can hold a maximum of 9 rounds in .357 Magnum. Yet they fire quite a large number of shots from the same gun without reloading. High-capacity magazines are unavailable for the Desert Eagle as the magnum rounds are just too big. See more...

Trivia

Paul W. S. Anderson wrote the parts of Charles Bishop Weyland and Maxwell Stafford specifically for Lance Henriksen and Colin Salmon, respectively. See more...

The entry you are correcting is:

Title	Alien Vs. Predator
Original entry	Close to the beginning, when Lex, Sebastian, and Miller are talking on the side of the boat, the life preserver in the background keeps changing from left of the hatch to the right. [No, if you look closely the life preserver is left to the hatch with the writing "Cabins 7-14" above it. Then you see the life preserver to the right of the hatch with the writing "Cabins 15-21" above it.]

Read very carefully

ALL corrections of corrections must be in the following format, with NO EXCEPTIONS. Write a sentence or two explaining why the existing correction is wrong, then type "Reworded text: " (you don't need the quotes) followed by how the mistake should be worded to avoid someone correcting it the same way again. For example:

Existing corrected entry

"Kate and Charlie live in Toronto. When we first see them in their car, at the beginning of the movie, it has no license plate in the front. In Ontario, cars are required by law to have a plate in the front as well as in the back. [This isn't really a mistake. I live in California where the same law exists and I, as well as many other Californians, don't have a front license plate on my car.]"

What you'd write:

California might be lax about that law, but Ontario definitely isn't. Reworded text: Kate and Charlie live in Toronto. When we first see them in their car, at the beginning of the movie, it has no license plate in the front. In Ontario, cars are required by law to have a plate in the front as well as in the back. While some other jurisdictions may be lax in applying their two-plates law, Ontario isn't.

ANY recorrection submitted in the wrong format will be automatically dismissed. The short explanation of why the correction's wrong is just as important as providing the reworded text - if that's not included your entry will just be deleted. If an existing correction is complete garbage and the original entry doesn't need any rewording, explain why the correction's garbage, then just write "Reworded text: none needed." If the correction is fundamentally valid, but is worded badly or contains wrong information, just use the "change text" option.

To reiterate: What you write after "Reworded text:" should essentially be the existing mistake, clarified where necessary so no-one will misunderstand it and correct it wrongly again. If it's anything else, your recorrection will be ignored, so DON'T JUST WRITE A CORRECTION - WHAT YOU WRITE NEEDS TO BE A COMPLETE SUBMISSION. If you have any queries, please contact me.
