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 During the first 'whalewash' scene a whale is at Angie's desk and the phone rings and she taps the hang-up button, which would of cancelled the incoming call, but she continues to talk to the fish calling. [The action she performed is called a "hook-flash". It allows you to place one call on hold while answering an incoming call. People do this all the time with Call-Waiting.]
Entry In the scene with the magazines piling upon the screen, the red one appears twice. [Actually, several of them appear more than once but they are all different.]
Entry Frankie dies with his tongue sticking out of his mouth, but a few seconds later his tongue is back in his mouth. [The tongue could've slipped back into his mouth, when his head falls down.]
Entry The "Mafia" characters are shown being on a ship that is unarguably the Titanic (see Rose with the heart of the ocean and the references to "the love boat") yet the other fish in the movie are warm-water fish that live on a reef. If the Titanic sank in the north Atlantic, how is there a warm-water reef nearby? [Despite numerous "Titanic" references, Lino's ship is most certainly NOT the Titanic. For example, Titanic rests in two quite separate pieces (Lino's ship, although badly damaged, has not fully split apart), Titanic rests at a depth no sunlight can penetrate to (Lino's ship is naturally lit from above), the rooms on Lino's ship have only a passing resemblance to the well-documented architecture of the Titanic, etc.]
Entry In the scene when Oscar is clearing the muck out of the whales mouth you see a red and yellow coloured fish cleaning the teeth with the brush with one arm and in the next shot the fish uses two arms. [The fish could have put another hand on the brush easily, it just doesn't show you.]
Entry After Ernie and Bernie give Oscar a black eye, Angie places a sea slug over his eye. When he puts it on the bench armrest it slides down to the ground, but when Oscar gets up from the bench, the sea slug is gone. [The slug crawls off the bench, as you can see it pauses during its descent, and wiggles its antennae. It is logical that it would have kept crawling off during the dialog on the bench.]
Entry When Oscar is pretending to fight Lenny, he sends Lenny through a sign saying Jaws. About five minutes later, Oscar swims past the sign and it is intact. He swims past it again and there's a hole in it. It can't have been fixed and damaged again, can it? [Surely in one town there would be more than one ad for the same thing? It's probably a different sign.]
