Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Herod shoots the coloured guy(if someone can tell me his name please do)for the last time it makes a hole roughly the size of a tennis ball in his head. There is no way a gun of that period could make a hole that big. [There is a simple way that a gun of that (or any) period could make such a huge wound - dum dum bullets. The tip of the bullet is snipped or filed off so it expands in flight, opening up to about ten times its width. This shortens the range by 90%, but if it hits you it makes a big, round, wet hole.]

In the scene where Gene Hackman asks Sharon Stone "who are you?" She takes and throws her father's badge at his feet.The badge lands in front of him,he looks down at it. Than, when she shoots him a second time, his body flies back a few feet. She walks up to his body, kicks him, then goes past him to pick up the badge. The badge should be more or less where Russell Crowe is standing when she picks it up. [The wind or simply the angle you looked at it can affect its position.]

When Gary S. is strung up in the middle of the town (end of movie) he is standing on a little black stool that Gene Hackman shoots at. Ellen then shoots her father and when Gene and his gang take off the stool is gone - all you see is Gary S. swinging in the breeze. [That simply means it was moved by someone and they didn't show it happening.]

In the scene where Gene Hackman shoots the braggart who took credit for his killings. Hackman shoots the subject in the right hand, then gives him another chance to draw and shoots him in the left hand. The problem is that if you were drawing a pistol on someone the top edge of your hand and thumb would be facing them, but the bullet holes in the braggart's hands go right through the middle of his palms. The bullet holes might have appeared in that part of the hand if he was waving at Hackman, but not while drawing a pistol from the waist. [The first shot actually shoots off Ace's right thumb, so that's fine.]
