Corrected entry: When Katniss cuts down the branch with the tracker jacker nest on it, she first uses the unserrated side of the knife, and in the very next shot she's instantly using the serrated side, without turning it around.
Corrected entry: When Katniss destroys the supplies and the mines are going off, one explosion comes from directly underneath the pile. Even if the Careers had the sense to make a hollow cavity keeping it from touching the gear, there's absolutely no reason they would place all their supplies on top of a mine, considering they moved all the others. It can't have been intended purely as a trap on that scale, otherwise when the careers return they'd be happy the trap worked, not furious that all their supplies were destroyed.
Correction: They were angry that the supplies were destroyed for nothing, since the trap was tripped without killing anyone. They were willing to sacrifice some supplies if it meant the death of another tribute. But this was just a waste, and showed they'd been outsmarted. I'd be angry too.
Corrected entry: When the boy from Rue's district saves Katniss' life, he tells her it's because of what she did for Rue. But there's no way he could have known what she did for Rue.
Correction: Thresh heard Clove say something about saving Rue, that's how he knew to save Katniss.
Corrected entry: When Katniss first obtains the bow from the dying Glimmer beneath the tracker jacker tree, its quiver is half-empty, with only four or five silver arrows left in it. However, in the next scene, when Katniss wakes up near Rue, her quiver is full of silver arrows, as if the arrows magically multiplied. Furthermore, during the remainder of the film, Katniss shoots at least six arrows (two at the bag of apples, one at Rue's killer, two towards Clove as she runs towards Katniss at the "feast," one at the first genetically engineered wolf "muttation," and two at Cato from atop the cornucopia). But despite shooting at least six arrows from her originally half-empty quiver, at the end when the gamemakers revoke the rule change, Katniss still has arrows left in her quiver, so she's forced to decide whether to shoot an arrow at Peeta.
Corrected entry: After the first day, 13 kids of 24 were killed. In the following sequence, blonde girl from District 1 dies from bees, and Rue states 2 additional kids died when Katniss wakes up. Spear kid dies from broken neck, Rue dies from spears, Rue's attacker dies from arrow, Fox dies from berries, knife throwing girl dies by black guy and black guy dies from dog. That totals to 22. Katniss and Peetah kill Cato at the end, making a total dead of 23 + 2 survivors= 25 total. There should only be 24.
Correction: Rue said that the girl from 1 and the boy from 10 died. not two additional kids. The girl from 1, is the girl that got stung by all the trackerjackers, Katniss was not fully aware that she had died because she was under the effect of the stings she had gotten.
Corrected entry: In the scene when Katniss cuts the branch with the Tracker Jackers, the branch falls down with the swarm attacking those on the ground. Katniss climbs down from the tree, and the Trackers are all instantly gone.
Correction: Everything in the game arena is artificial and is created, controlled, and continually changed as needed by the game technicians. Just like the killer mutts seen at the end, the tracker jackers were created artificially by computers and were added and removed instantly. The gamers put the hive in the tree after Katniss was trapped there so it could be used as a weapon (Rue pointed it out to her). Earlier, when Katniss escaped the fire, that was also an environmental condition created by the gamers, and once it served its purpose (to steer her back to the other tributes), it was extinguished and the damage repaired. The mocking jays that Katniss and Rue heard in the trees were also artificial.
Corrected entry: When Rue dies, her mouth is open. When it cuts to the next shot of Katniss singing to her, her mouth is closed.
Correction: It would make sense that out of respect Katniss would have closed Rue's eyes as well as her mouth. There is enough time between shots for Katniss to have done this off screen.
Corrected entry: When Katniss is looking at the scenery in her room, she has some hair blocking her left eye. When the camera goes back to her, it is not blocking her eye anymore. (00:36:10)
Correction: There is enough time between camera angles - from being directed at Katniss and then at the screen - for her hair to have been pushed aside.
Corrected entry: Before Peeta throws the big metal ball in the training room, Marvel, Clove, and Cato are watching him. But after Peeta throws the ball, the camera shows Marvel, Glimmer, and Cato. Clove and Glimmer have switched places.
Correction: Right, before he throws the ball they are gathered together in a small group. After he throws the ball they are still gathered in a small group, but there is definitely enough time between shots for the characters to move.
Corrected entry: When Katniss aims for the pile of equipment in the arena for the first time, she pulls the arrow into the bow twice.
Correction: Katniss pulls the bow to her face, then the camera cuts to where she is aiming. While the camera is off her, she could have easily released the pull on the bow, re-positioned the arrow and then we see her pull it back a second time. Not a mistake.
The mistake is valid. You misunderstood what the mistake is. We see her pull the bow back to her face. The shot then changes to the arrow itself, and we see it being pulled back again. Even though the camera wasn't on Katniss the whole time, it was on the arrow the whole time and we never see it get released or repositioned.
Correction: When Katniss pulls the knife out, it is blade-side down, but the scene cuts away, and then shows her starting to saw into the wood with the serrated side down. She could have turned the knife then.
