When Meryl Streep "blasts" Goldie Hawn with the shotgun and Goldie falls into the pool of water, she falls in backwards.  However, when we see her get up, she is getting up from a face-down position. See more...

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 When Ernest drops the vial when he's suspended on the broken pipe, it makes a sound of glass hitting on stone. Yet Ernest lands in the same place where the vial fell and lands on the decorative glass roof above the pool; there is no stone. [As mentioned in another correction, the vial didn't necessarily hit the exact same spot as Ernest. It could have hit the roof, a ledge, or something else solid.]
Entry When the two gals give Bruce Willis the drink with the knock-out drug, the amount of alcohol in the glass changes between shots several times. [While Bruce Willis is holding the drink and talking to the women he throws his arm holding the drink around and occasionally you can see the drink spilling out.]
Entry Towards the very end of the movie, Bruce Willis is hanging from the gutter while Meryl and Goldie are trying to convince him to drink the potion. Bruce decides not to drink the potion and drops it. A few seconds later, Bruce falls and crashes through an in-tact glass window. The potion bottle that he dropped would have broken the glass from that height. [The sound effects for the breaking bottle imply that the bottle did not hit the window, but the roof or a ledge, or something solid. The sound does not match a bottle falling through and breaking a window, as the entry suggests. It's very likely, from that height, that the bottle did, in fact, miss the window and hit the roof.]
Entry When Bruce Willis falls from the castle roof he crashes through a glass ceiling face down. He lands in a swimming pool face up. [When he falls through the roof you can see him turn. This is why he is face up.]
Entry When Ernest was putting eye make-up (paint) on Madeline's eye, she moves her head which screws it up. Ernest goes downstairs to get paint remover and talks to Helen. Madeline goes downstairs and her eye make-up is perfect. No smudge at all or anything. [Bruce Willis is not putting make-up on Meryl's eyelid, he is actually painting the color back ONTO her dead irises. Which is why her eyes appear strange in the next scene- he hasn't finished, and as he says "The highlights aren't balanced.. do you want people to stare?", and why Goldie's eyes seem dead and washed out after she has been shot.]
