Corrected entry: When his father realises Chuy is missing from his bedroom, he phones the police and is told they can't do anything for 48 hours. It is inconceivable that the police would refuse to act when a child of about 12 goes missing. (00:45:00)
Mimic (1997)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro

Continuity mistake: When Peter and the subway guy crash down from the wooden platform, Peter's glasses are broken. Later on we see him fix the electricity with his glasses, and now they are fine.
Susan Tyler: When I increased the Judas' metabolism, I must have sped up its breeding cycle. I mean, we're talking tens, hundreds of thousands of generations, who knows how many mutations.
Peter Mann: I don't get it, I just don't fucking get this. How could the Judas evolve into this?
Susan Tyler: Think generations, not years, okay. It took only 40,000 generations for apes to turn into humans.
Peter Mann: So?
Susan Tyler: We changed its DNA, Peter! I mean, we don't know what we did.
Trivia: Originally intended to be a 30-minute short as part of an anthology film, though it became so ambitious it was made into a feature-length film.
