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 the edit icon under an entry, then choose "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.

Entry After Charles Barkley's talent was taken away from him, his coach called a timeout. So far so good. However, he called a timeout when it was the Knicks' ball. In NBA rules, you can only call a timeout when your team has the ball. [The coach did not call a timeout. His exact words were "Call a timeout!", thus instructing his players to call a timeout when they regained possession of the ball.]
Entry When Michael Jordan first come to Looney Tune land, Daffy Duck stamps "A-OK" on his head. In the next shot, this has disappeared. [Mike is in the cartoon world now. In cartoon, things appear and disappear randomly all the time.]
Entry When the UFO lands on Elmer Fudd, he says "Ouch.", but his lips don't move. [It is possible to say the word, "Ouch" without moving your lips.]
Entry The time between Michael Jordan retiring at the beginning and him coming back only takes a few weeks or so in the movie (i.e. the scene goes to Moron Mountain and back) but Jordan actually was retired for a few years before coming back. [He was actually still retired when the movie came out, so they had no timeline to screw up. His only comeback in the movie is him helping out the Looney Tunes. Other than that he was still retired in real life and in the story (he even mentions, repeatedly, that he is now a baseball player).]
Entry During the Looney Tunes' meeting Bugs Bunny is dressed in military clothes, but later he is suddenly out of them. [He was also suddenly into them. Remember, this is Looney Tune Land. This doesn't even qualify as a deliberate mistake.]
Entry When Stan runs up the hole he allegedly dug with his own shovel when Daffy Duck says "Let's name our team the Ducks", you can see some lines in the dirt that came from the bulldozer that really dug the hole. [We are shown a brief cut of Stan, in a bulldozer, shouting "I'll find you Michael.". Remember, his job is to impress Michael no matter what - him saying he dug his way here (even though he lied) is pretty impressive.]
Entry When the Loony Toons are playing against the aliens, during the last ten seconds, the clock timing is off. It will show 8 seconds, then show Jordan, then go back to the clock at 7 seconds, which is not possible because they show Jordan more than 1 second. [The shot is in slow motion.]
Entry When the aliens have the meeting with the Loony Tunes, everybody starts laughing at the aliens. In the picture where you see the audience you can see two Sylvesters. [The cat sitting in the third row aisle seat is actually Sylvester's son. Sylvester is in the front row.]
Entry When the Looney Tunes are playing basketball against the aliens, if you look in the stands the same cartoon characters are in different places at the same time. This happens a lot. [This was deliberate, to make the stands appear to be more full than they actually were.]
Entry When the Looney Tunes challenge the aliens to basketball because of their size, the aliens do not know what basketball is. Why would Bugs Bunny show them a clip of what basketball is? If he hadn't, then they could have just beaten the aliens in 5 seconds instead of having to go through all the pain and abuse they suffered. [Bugs Bunny says for them to have a FAIR game of basketball, and if he didn't show them the clip, then it wouldn't have been a fair game.]
Entry Can someone explain how the hell the bulldog gets into the cupboard in the scene where Bugs and Daffy are searching for Michael's shorts? It was in the kennel when Daffy burrowed into it, the front door was closed so it couldn't have got in that way, and if it followed them up the tunnel, how exactly did it get into the cupboard (which was also closed) without them seeing it? [The same way Michael Jordon's arm streched across the court. Things like that happen in cartoons, even if the people are not cartoons themselves.]
Entry In the scene where Bugs Bunny is trying to get Michael Jordan down the golf hole, he loses a shoe. But when he is on the court with the Toon Squad, he has shoes again. In Loony Tune Land, you cannot get shoes. [He still only has one shoe].
Entry In the scene where the Tune Squad players are being introduced to the crowd, the announcer says that Daffy Duck is number four. But when Daffy comes out, you can clearly see that he is number two. [He actually says Daffy is "Power Forward", not #4].
