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 "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "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.

In the scene in the barn, towards the end of the film, Alex shoots Jezzie in the heart. The next camera angle is from behind Jezzie and shows an exit wound between her shoulder blades. Although stood directly in front of her, Alex is firing left handed, and towards the right, so surely the exit wound would be far more likely to be somewhere under Jezzie's right shoulder blade, or even her side? [It is entirely possible the bullet was deflected off a bone, exiting her back in a different place than expected.] Corrected by Grumpy Scot

You'd think that Jezzie would have been a little smarter as a secret service agent. You know, like once they acquire Megan, to delete all the incriminating evidence sitting back on an unattended computer. Aside from the fact she also used quite a stupid password, a single password isn't very secure at all. And then the content, displayed instantly when you get in, might as well say things like "hey look, we know what the kidnapper looks like" and "wow, here's the boat he's in too" and "wow, a cabin for sale. Why don't we go hang out there with all the evidence." Come on....they might as well have left a trail of breadcrumbs, because they sure were asking to get caught. [While Jezzie does seem to leave a *HUGE* amount of evidence, stupidity is not a mistake. In response to a few of those questions, most passwords are usually one word. Stupid password or not, the police could have hacked into it, she may have never had time to delete all the content, what with moving around so often after the case opened. It all comes down to stupidity on the largest scale.] Corrected by Lummie

When they inspect the dead fisherman they mysteriously find Megan's school sweater. She wasnt wearing it when she jumped overboard, and her clothes weren't thrown in the water. So where did it appear from? [The killer may have just thrown this item of clothing into the water as another part of his game.]

Towards the end of the film, Morgan Freeman is trying to guess Monica Potter's password. As he typed it the words came up on the screen. Has anybody out there used a computer like that? Normally they're blanked out for security. [Sometimes, a password will not be hidden from view.]

Towards the end of the film where Jezzie goes to kill Megan, Megan refuses to let her in to where she is being held captive as she is suspicous of Jezzie being there alone with no back up. However, five minutes later, she has no problem accepting Alex (a total stranger) when he waltzes in and grabs her from behind before calmly shooting Jezzie in cold blood. [She can't exactly do anything but accept him when he is holding her from behind with a gun in his hand]

When Megan attempt to leave the boat, she places a small set of batteries simaler to the kind used in home phones next to the stove, When they explode, the entire kitchen bursts into flames. What are these batteries made of, Napalm? [All batteries have a warning on their packaging stating they should be kept away from heat (or flames, for that matter) because they may explode.] Corrected by Sereenie

Couldn't the bad Secret Service agents have just taken the ransom and then saved the girl and thus be heroes and rich? No one suspected they were involved until the end. If they had saved the girl, suspicion would have been removed altogether. [Soneji is their scapegoat. If Megan is never found then Soneji is to blame, if she's found dead then he's still to blame, but if she's found alive then they'd have some serious questions to answer, like how they found her.]

Right after Megan has been kidnapped, Jezzie says that she has been working at the school for two years. Then a few scenes later, she says three years. [Actually, when she refered to 2 years, that was the amount of time she worked with Sonjie not nessesarily how long she worked at that school.]

Asking students to find the Charles Lindberg Homepage in the least amount of links is a really stupid question. Charles Lindberg doesn't have a homepage. Actually, there are THOUSANDS of Lindberg sites out there. Go ahead and type "Charles Lindberg" in google. I guarantee you'll find thousands of matches. Which one were the students supposed to find? [There's an official one: www.charleslindbergh.com]
