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 In the beginning of the movie when the gang fire bombs the arcade, when they leave the arcade they drive for a while at a high rate of speed and make some turns before they pass Sgt. Albrecht. But when the bomb goes off and Sgt. Albrecht starts to head toward it, the fire s visible in the shoot and only a few buildings away. Should have been much further. [The clue here is that they "make some turns". They drive around the block, past the arcade again, and then past the hot dog stand where Albrecht is. Most likely, they did this so they could see as much of the explosion as possible, while at the same time not be hanging around the crime scene too obviously.]

Entry During the chase leading up to T-Bird's death, Skank is trying to catch up. While driving down an alley, you see T-Bird speed by from left to right. When Skank reaches the end of the alley, he is broad sided by the cop car chasing T-Bird from the right. They should have hit him from the left, on the drivers door, and almost certainly killed him at the speed they were going. [You most definitely see T-bird's car go right to left, not left to right.]
Time
Entry When Sarah is in the apartment looking for Eric, his shadow appears on the wall. He is standing with one knee cocked. It cuts to him (knee cocked) and then back to Sarah, only this time, he is standing straight and there was no time for him to move. [There is previous evidence that Eric can move faster than a normal human - when he's confronted by Albrecht, the cop turns to yell at the looters and turns back Eric who isn't there, nor is he anywhere around since Albrecht looks around quickly but doesn't find him. Given this it's quite possible for Eric to have changed poses instanteously.]
Time
Entry When Eric is about to kill Tin Tin, he says that "Halloween isn't until manana". That is Spanish for tomorrow. If devil's night is the night before Halloween, Halloween can't be the next day, because it isn't even devil's night yet. [It IS Devil's Night because Eric died on Devil's Night one year before, according to the subtitle in the opening. The night Tin Tin dies is Eric's first night back from the dead. Thus making it Devil's Night and making Tin Tin's "manana" statement true.]
Time
Entry At the beginning of the movie when we see Shelly on the stretcher, the paramedic puts the air mask over her head, then right before Shelly is put into the ambulance we see the paramedic put the air mask over her head again. [Shelly takes the air mask off and tries to talk to Sarah. Therefore they have to put it back on.]
Time
Entry In the scene where Brandon Lee is sitting in front of a mirror in his old apartment, looking through photos and remnants of his past life, he applies makeup. However, you can see in the shot right after he punches the mirror that he already has on all of the makeup- black and white alike- before he applies it himself in the scene. [Not so - he's just very pale, a consequence of both the dim lighting used in this scene and also the fact that he's just risen from the grave.]
Time
Entry Eric and Shelly were killed because they were trying to fight tenant eviction. Yet, a year later the building is seemingly abandoned. Eric and Shelly's stuff is even still there. So what were they killed for if nothing was ever done with the building? [Eric and Shelly were passing around a petition that concerned the conditions in their apartment - ie. crime and living conditions. They were not trying to fight eviction.]
Time
Entry If it has been a year since Eric and Shelley's death, who the hell has been feeding the pedigree house cat, which would be incapable of hunting for itself, for the last year to keep it at its same size? [Cats though domesticated are still wild animals. I know from experience that a cat can fend for himself when it is needed. Plus there are people who leave food out for stray animals.]
Time
Entry It's raining all the time throughout the movie and we know that Eric uses white powder as the white part of his crow make up, yet not once through out the movie does it wash off. That's pretty impressive, considering the fact that the white part of his make up is powder. [He does NOT use white powder. In fact, you have close-ups of him running his fingers in a jar of creamy make-up, then smearing it on his face.]
