Firefly (2002)

Bushwhacked - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When discussing the Reavers, Shepherd Book has a cord sticking out between the back of his shirt and the back of his neck. It seems to be an audio cord but could be a part of his pony tail as well. Whatever it is, it's definitely out of place during the shot. (00:22:00)

Correction: Look closely when Mal responds to Book's philosophy of "a power greater than men, a power that heals". The cord is used to tie his hair back, it isn't an audio cord.

Alien 3 (1992)

Corrected entry: How did the stowaway facehugger impregnate the dog (or ox, depending on which version of the movie) after it had already impregnated Ripley with the Alien Queen? Alien 1 & 2 had already established that facehuggers die shortly after impregnating a host. Not only would it be impossible for the same facehugger to impregnate 2 hosts, but it should have died after impregnating Ripley.

Teru_Kage

Correction: The Facehugger that impregnates the dog/ox and Ripley is a much stronger breed known as a Royal Facehugger, which is able to impregnate two victims and does not die until both of them are impregnated - http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Royal_Facehugger.

Scream (1996)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Sydney gets to school and is talking to Gail, the clip that she wears in the back of her hair is silver, but in the next scene when she is at her locker with Tatum and Stu, the clip is brown.

Correction: I just watched this and Sydney is wearing a black & brown leopard print clip in the back of her hair throughout BOTH scenes.

The Tuxedo (2002)

Corrected entry: When Jimmy is holding the shot glass to Del Blaine's noise with the queen bug in it, his first punch at one of the attacking henchmen causes him to remove the glass several inches from her face which would have let the bug escape.

jerimiah

Correction: How is this continuity? The bug stays there the entire time, regardless of the glass moving.

The Walking Dead (2010)

Chupacabra - S2-E5

Corrected entry: After Rick, Lori, and Shane leave the sick room where injured Daryl is recuperating, Rick walks off and Shane tells Lori his only concern is for her and Carl's safety. As Lori responds to his statement, in a near whisper, she calls him 'Jon' (the actor's name) instead of his character name. (00:36:25)

Correction: I just watched this scene myself and at first it does sound like she says, "You've been abandoning us a lot, Jon." But then I turned on the subtitles. She actually says, "Even abandoning a lost child?".

THGhost

Correction: Semantics. To most people, "DS" is sufficient enough to specify all of the Nintendo DS consoles. The same way that "Xbox" is sufficient enough to specify the Xbox 360.

THGhost

Most people yes, but Sheldon not being pedantic?

Moose

He could have corrected him later. We don't get to see everything they supposedly say to each other.

lionhead

Precisely. Plus it wasn't Sheldon that simply called it a "Nintendo DS." Leonard did. He's not as pedantic as Sheldon.

THGhost

Correction: Sheldon actually says "I suppose she will have to have access to our progeny".

Will the Circle Be Unbroken? - S3-E22

Corrected entry: Spencer asks E. Lamb questions about the employee IDs at Radley throughout the episode. In response to one he says he has worked there since he left the Navy, implying it's been a long time. In the previous episodes we find out that Toby used the alias E. Lamb to get in and out of Radley. Since the real Eddie Lamb has worked there for a significant amount of time it doesn't make much sense that the Radley employees wouldn't notice an entirely different person using the ID, or that they wouldn't question a visitor with the same name as an employee.

Correction: Who says anyone who worked with E Lamb still works at Radley? They could all be new employees who never met him.

THGhost

Corrected entry: The Umbrella testing floor in Tokyo triggers a biohazard test that causes clones of civilians to reenact a scene from Resident Evil: Afterlife. Alice seems to recognise the event, despite not actually being present for the scene in Afterlife.

Correction: While Alice wasn't present for the that particular scene in Afterlife, she was still present in Tokyo because she attacked Umbrella with a handful of her clones. She isn't recognising the event, she's just realising what's going on.

Scream 4 (2011)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Jenny is trying to crawl under the garage door, the door is shut on her and we hear a sound that is supposed to be her bones breaking. If her back or spine were broken, she wouldn't have been able to crawl forward and fight the killer (and if her back was broken, she would have immediately passed out). It should be the garage door closing sound we hear, not a "bones breaking" sound.

Correction: Since we do not know for sure the extent of her injury, it is impossible to tell whether she'd still be able to fight the killer or not. People have also been known to be fully conscious for a short time after having their backs broken.

THGhost

Corrected entry: Once the characters have all arrived at the cabin in the woods, there is a scene during a game of "Truth or Dare" where they all enter the basement. During that scene, Jesse Williams' character "Holden" magically acquires glasses that he was not wearing at any point prior. From that point on, throughout the remainder of the movie, his glasses disappear and re-appear multiple times. Most notably, in the scene where three of them attempt to flee through the stone tunnel in the RV.

KyleRockafella

Correction: Just because someone wears glasses that doesn't mean that they need to wear them all the time. He may only need them for reading, and he has plenty of opportunities throughout the film to take them off and put them on.

The Thing (2011)

Plot hole: Through this film (and its predecessor) it is established that the creature imitates its victims perfectly, having all of their knowledge and memory. At the end, when the female lead tells the male lead she knew he was human because of his earring, he reaches for the wrong ear, confirming he is The Thing. Even if The Thing couldn't reproduce the earring, it would have known which ear it was supposed to be in.

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

Suggested correction: It is also established in this film that the creature cannot perfectly imitate inorganic materials; the tooth fillings, metal plate, etc. Kate knows that Carter is The Thing and asks him a trick question about his earring to confirm it. The fact that The Thing reaches for the wrong ear means that it didn't know where the earring really was because it cannot perfectly imitate inorganic materials. There is no mistake here.

THGhost

The mistake has nothing to do with The Thing not being able to imitate inorganic material. The mistake is The Thing has all the memories and thus should know which ear was pierced based on these memories.

Bishop73

This goes with my theory that he was actually human because he didn't try to assimilate her when they we're alone and far away from people, and he didn't change when he was threatened and accused which was backed by (potentially false if the theory is correct) evidence which would make it defend itself.

You're obviously wrong here. The Thing imitates the human perfectly including the memory and I'm pretty sure that if you only have one ear pierced you'd know which one is it, therefore the imitation would know.

Correction: She could be looking at anything that's offscreen. There's no indication that it's the camera crew.

THGhost

Correction: Howard tells Sheldon to have a nice walk and Sheldon replies "I shall", not "Bye Shel".

Thor (2011)

Corrected entry: At the end when Loki goes to lock the Bifrost on Jotunheim, he's carrying Odin's staff and wearing a helmet. He slides the staff into the machinery to open the Bifrost then freezes the electrical streams (with the staff in the middle of it) and his helmet is gone. Thor comes in to stop him and he's got the staff back from inside the ice and his helmet is back.

Correction: This has been corrected before because it is in fact two mistakes in one - the position of Loki's staff and the position of Loki's helmet. This violates one of this site's rules. Again, please resubmit each mistake **individually**.

THGhost

Corrected entry: On the door of Hunter's room it says his name, but when the father says "his room is untouched" the "r" is missing and the in the next scene it reappears again.

TTWieland

Correction: The "R" on Hunter's door is knocked off because the demon ransacks the house. The family then have cameras set up around the house as well as tidying it up. The "R" was obviously put back on the door because Hunter's room and the rest of the house is tidy again.

Source Code (2011)

Corrected entry: In the finishing scene when both Protagonists stand in front of the Cloud Gate in Chicago when the camera moves around behind them and then "flies into" the Cloud Gate, Jake Gyllenhaal's body double is noticeable for he has substantially longer hair.

Correction: That isn't Jake Gyllenhaal's body double. It's Sean Fentress, the man who's life was replaced by Colter Stevens on the train in order to stop the bombing. It would be a mistake to show Colter Stevens' face. Everybody in the film sees him as Sean Fentress, this is demonstrated when Colter goes to the bathroom and sees himself as Sean reflected in the mirror.

THGhost

Corrected entry: Emma Frost's power besides telepathy is also to change to a diamond-like form, however this applies only to her, not her clothes, and all throughout the movie everytime she changes to her diamond form she appears to be naked, when she should look as a diamond but dressed.

Correction: At no point in the film is it established that this power does not effect her clothes. There's no mistake here, deliberate or otherwise.

Resident Evil (2002)

Corrected entry: Just after Alice escapes from the zombie dogs, Rain is shown counting her ammunition. She says, 'I have one in the breach and another magazine.' However you can see that the slide on her pistol has locked back (it doesn't return to the home position) meaning the chamber is actually empty.

Nik Rolls

Correction: While this is true, you can see (and hear) her inserting the magazine into the gun. Making what she said in fact true as well.

Scream 4 (2011)

Corrected entry: [Bit of a spoiler alert so don't' read any further if you haven't seen the movie yet.] At the end of the movie Sheriff Dewey tells the person who is the killer that Sidney is in critical condition and may or may not live but a few seconds later we see Sidney awake and alert and with enough strength to fight off the killer once again.

Correction: Anger and fear can be more than enough to gather enough strength to fight your way out of a difficult situation regardless of how much of a critical condition you are in.

THGhost

True, but you can't have a lot of anger and fear if you are unconscious. The way the situation was presented, was that the doctors weren't even sure she was going to make it. It is part of the suspension of disbelief in movies to be very lenient with injuries and their implications, but this is really pushing it.
