Jaws 2 (1978)

Corrected entry: When Eddie is killed by the shark, he pulls down a piece of wood from the boat. When Brody finds Tina in the boat, it's completely intact again.

Correction: In some shots it's hard to see, but the boat is intact. Watch as Brody climbs into the boat, and you should be able to see it's still broken.

Corrected entry: As the crew reaches the whaling station in the beginning, the Scottish chemical engineer goes off alone into a kitchen or something of the kind. He tries to pick up a cup, which is frozen solid, and the handle breaks off in his hand. Yet at the very end, when Lex and the Predator are trying to tie off the Alien, she goes to pick up a frozen shovel and it doesn't break.

Correction: The cup breaks because the cup is frozen to the table and the handle is fragile because of the frost.

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Corrected entry: In the aerial-view scene where Ana is fleeing up the road in her car, a white van barrels off of a side street, slams into a car and crashes over the pumps of a gas station, which explode. Prior to the van/car collision, if you watch the street that the van comes off of, you don't see the van on the street. The van magically appears from behind the second to the last house on the street, doing 60 plus miles an hour. Before the accident, the street from which the van emerges, can be seen, both above and between the houses. The van can not be seen until the last two houses.

Correction: Already listed and corrected.

Corrected entry: During the scene where Dumbledore is explaining to all the students what happened to Cedric, there is one shot where you can see Viktor, Ginny, Fred and George sitting in one of the front rows. However, later in the scene we see Viktor again, but he is no longer sitting next to Ginny, and is sitting in a row closer to the middle.

Correction: That's not Viktor.

Mortug

Corrected entry: On the train on the way to Hogwarts, Harry sits down next to Hermione. When she talks to him, though, she leans forward, and he is magically on the seat across from her.

Correction: He never sits down beside her. Check the seat numbers on the wall behind him. The numbers are always 2 and 3.

Payback (1999)

Corrected entry: When Porter carries the dog into the apartment and lays him next to the bed, there is at least one shot of the dog without a bandage around his middle - when in all other shots he does.

Correction: There is one shot where it looks like there is no bandage, but look closer and you will see it's there.

Payback (1999)

Corrected entry: Since when do fluids flow uphill? In the scene where Mel blows up the car with bad guys, you can see in some shots the petrol that had flown out of the car on the street is is flowing towards Mel, although he is standing higher than the car.

Correction: He doesn't stand higher than the car. The camera angle makes it look that way.

Payback (1999)

Corrected entry: After Mel and co drive head on into the Asians and get the money, Kris runs around the back of the car, but in the next shot from the drivers side, Kris comes to the passenger door from the front.

Correction: He doesn't run around the back of the car. He jumps over the hood and comes straight to the passenger door.

Corrected entry: When Beru is showing the baby (Luke) to Owen, in the shot facing them, Owen straightens up. In the next shot, he repeats this movement. (02:08:10)

Correction: He doesn't straighten up completely in the first shot, he is still crouching a bit. When it cuts he is still crouching, then he straightens up fully while putting his arm around Beru. So it's not the same movement.

Tremors (1990)

Corrected entry: After Earl, Val, and Rhonda pole vault to the last rock, there's a shot of Earl's feet landing on the rock. But when the camera pulls back, he is holding his pole facing forwards. If he had just pole-vaulted to the rock, the pole would be behind him, and he probably wouldn't have landed so smoothly either. (00:41:50)

Correction: He didn't pole-vault to it. He just jumps down from a rock as you can see two shots later is lying right behind him.

Jason X (2001)

Plot hole: In the beginning of the movie, Lexa Doig's character and Jason are frozen in cryogenic stasis. Considering how important Jason is to scientists, why did no one arrive to check out why no one or nothing was occurring in the research facility until centuries later?

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The Jason Project was considered Top Secret. In fact it was so secret that if anything went wrong the whole project would be abandoned and sealed.

Mortug

Correction doesn't make sense; I don't care how Top Secret something is, that young lady most likely had family that would have most assuredly questioned her whereabouts and there's no way Jason would have been left unattended in that chamber.

Daredevil (2003)

Corrected entry: When young Matt first discovers his powers, he strikes a guy wire and proceeds to slide down. You can see the restraining wire holding him up. (00:12:10)

Correction: That's not a wire. It's a straight line going from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Seems like a damage on the film roll itself.

Mortug

Corrected entry: This is something that occured to me: It seems that when the Creeper loses a body part, it can only be replaced, but not grown back. Instead of the farmer putting the pieces back together, so he'll be ready to stop the Creeper when it returns 23 years later, why not cut the Creeper's body into pieces and then keep them seperate, and therefore prevent its return? This seems like a much safer idea to me.

Correction: Taggart wants the Creeper to return in one full piece so he can fight it again to revenge his son's death; or he wants people to come see it to believe the stories about the Creeper. Either way, it's plausible.

Mortug

Corrected entry: In the scene where they went to check the generator, while in the garage, after the guy gets bit and before the guy yells run, in the back left-hand side a camera man is standing there.

Correction: That's not a crew member, that's Bart standing there.

Mortug

Corrected entry: When Mini Me is first introduced and is sitting with Dr. Evil stroking Mini Mr. Bigglesworth you can clearly see he hands it to someone barely below the table line instead of all the way to the ground. (00:14:40)

Correction: He doesn't hand it over to anyone, he just drops the cat under the table.

Mortug

Corrected entry: When Count Dooku drops the platform on Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan's lightsabre is nowhere to be seen, but when Anakin goes to pick him up, it is lying on the floor next to him. (00:12:45 - 00:14:35)

Correction: That is because Obi-Wan is lying on the saber. It becomes visible when Anakin moves him.

Mortug

Corrected entry: After Anakin is accepted on the Jedi Council, Ki-Adi-Mundi says, "What about the droid attack on the Wookies?", but the words are heard before his lips start moving. (00:36:20)

Correction: It's hard to see but under his moustache you can see his lips move through the whole sentence.

Mortug

Corrected entry: When Samuel L. Jackson says, "I don't think the boy can handle it, I don't trust him," his lips don't match his dialogue when he says, "I don't trust him."

Correction: After watching the scene several times i can tell his lips match.

Mortug

Corrected entry: In the scene where Anakin is holding onto the ledge in the elevator shaft, with Obi-Wan holding onto Anakin, Palpatine is holding onto Obi-Wan's ankle. When they decide to jump down, Palpatine lets go of Obi-Wan's ankle to free fall. In the very next shot, Palpatine is magically holding onto Obi-Wan's ankle again.

Correction: He was able to grab on to Obi-Wan's ankle when they were falling.

Mortug

Corrected entry: After Obi-Wan and Yoda arrive at the Jedi temple to find all the slain Jedi, there is shot of them standing together, a pile of 'younglings' on the floor. One small boy, his face to the camera, visibly twitches and blinks as Obi-Wan remarks that, 'even the younglings,' were killed.

Correction: Every single one of the kids lies perfectly still; none of them as much as blink.
