Jason X (2001)

Corrected entry: A deranged serial killer with superhuman strength and about 200 victims is left with only one soldier guarding him? All arguments of "movie logic" aside, this is just plain ridiculous.

Shay

Correction: Jason was chained well, so they didn't believe he was able to get loose. The lone soldier was no doubt to stop anyone interfering with him, rather than to stop him escaping.

Mortug

It had been established that he was an unstoppable killing machine that was virtually impossible to kill, it's no way he would be left alone with just one soldier, in a open area no less.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Roger and Hoskins get away in the cab watch the weasels get into their van. As they pull away quickly look at the side of the van to see a reflection of a boom mic. (00:55:55)

Joe Campbell

Correction: What we actually see is a reflection of a lamp post.

Mortug

Corrected entry: As Cheech and Chong are watching the nuns get busted, the shot from inside the van shows the driver's door open. But when the shot changes with the van in the background, you can see the door is shut.

Ral0618

Correction: You can clearly see the door is never shut from when the deputy opens it to they drive away.

Little Nicky (2000)

Corrected entry: This is during the Globetrotters scene. Nicky and Cassius are going one on one. When the camera is facing Cassius, he's holding a basketball, the camera turns to Nicky and back to Cassius, then he's not holding a basketball. This happens twice in a row. As the camera faces Cassius the second time, he's holding the ball, but when they start playing each other, Cassius' ball disappears. (00:37:40)

Correction: When we see Cassius it seems like the ball is gone but he is holding the ball by the hips with his left hand, outside camera angle. It's easy to see cause he hold both his hands down and when it cuts you see him turning around with the ball in his left hand. And the reason the ball disappears from Cassius when they start playing is because he threw it to Nicky.

Scary Movie 3 (2003)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Georges goes to Cindy's house to babysit Cody, Cody gets propelled outside through the window, which breaks. In the next shot the window is intact. (00:39:40)

Correction: The window we see in the next shot is not the same window. We are looking at the window behind George, not the one Cody flew through. Much later there is a shot of the window and this time it is intact. But by this time they have changed the broken window.

Scary Movie 3 (2003)

Corrected entry: Just after Cindy picks up Cody from school and talks with Brenda, you can see when she asks if he's feeling alright that they are near a parked car on the right side of the road. We can see its tailights, so we know what direction it is facing. However, when Cindy is driving, she is driving on the left side of the road, and all the cars parked on the side of the road are also facing the same direction. The scene has obviously been mirrored. (00:12:15)

Correction: Right before Cody is hit by Cindy we can see the cars are parked in the same direction on both sides of the road.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Corrected entry: All winches on choppers have an emergency release in case something like the shark grabbing it happened - why didn't they use it? (00:38:30)

Correction: It was a rescue team. They would do anything to rescue Jim, and in this case things happened too fast, so the chopper was pulled without the crew being able to do anything about it. Also it would make the rescue team look bad if they just cut the wires and let Jim fall into the ocean. So I guess they stood up against a dilemma and weren't thinking straight.

Mortug

Corrected entry: In the scenes from the previous film used as a prologue, Jason is drowned in a green jacket with some kind of utility belt. However, when the film begins in earnest with the little girl on the boat, Jason is seen in a blue jacket without the belt. Normally this being a difference between one movie and it's sequel it wouldn't matter, but they showed the prior film in a prologue.

Correction: He has been under water for many years. The jacket has discolored and the clips on the belt has broken off due to rust and swelling (which is normal for decomposing bodies).

Mortug

Corrected entry: When Shelly first encounters the bikers at the store, one of them breaks the driver window and the windshield of the volkswagon. Later on when Rick and Chris go for a ride the windows are back intact. (00:32:10)

Correction: No they're not. They seem intact in the dark, but you can see the front shield is still broken.

Mortug

Corrected entry: When Chris and Rick go out to the van after the group arrives, she notices that the van's side door is open and she wonders aloud if it was closed earlier. She then reaches in and Shelly grabs her wrist, startling her. Where did he hide in the van that she couldn't see him? There is nothing big enough for him to hide behind. (00:24:00)

Correction: The van is big enough for her not noticing him being in the back of it. She doesn't look into the van before she reaches her arm into it.

First Strike (1996)

Corrected entry: In the scene set in Australia where the 4WD comes bursting out from the car park and rams into a Police car, one can see that the grille on the Police car was most definitely broken before the 4WD hit it. (00:59:25)

Correction: No it's not. Even in slow motion you clearly see it's fine. The right front light might seem a little(!) damaged, but not the entire grille.
