The runes used by the soothsayers are supposed to have only one carved side. The carved side means that the answer to the question is "yes" while the plain side means "no". Because the chance of getting all four pieces of runes to show only carved or plain side at the same time is hard to achieve, the runes used when the expected answer is "yes" are actually carved on both sides while the plain runes are used when the answer is "no." That way, a minor scene could be completed without wasting time and movie reels. [That sounds more like so-so trivia than a mistake. Since we can never see both sides of the runes at the same time, and after they've been thrown they'd be impossible to keep track of, this couldn't possibly be seen within the movie. So it isn't a movie mistake, deliberate or otherwise.]

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.

When Lamia is doing little magic, like turning Bernard into a goat, she gets older little by little. But when she uses a lot of magic (making an inn out of a chariot, for example), she doesn't change an iota. [The first couple of times she uses magic, her hands look much older, then her hair becomes thinner. The visible parts of her body are now much older looking. After the inn scene, non-visible parts of her body could be getting older. The scene where she is in the chariot, and her boobs lose their firmness is an example of non-visible body parts that age with use of magic.]
