Corrected entry: When the people come to rescure Nick, Sarah and Ian who are climbing the rope, various things are gone. The tree stump has gone and the parts off Eddie's car too.

gandolfs dad

Correction: The stump is there, in the background. The rope is still tied to it. The parts of the car that the Rex ripped off were thrown too far to be seen in the shot.

Corrected entry: When Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon enter the underwater city they are wet for the first shot but dry in the second. Plus the floor does not get wet.

gandolfs dad

Correction: They do in fact stay wet. The floor is not shown enough to tell is it gets dripped on or not. If they do appear at all drier, this can be attributed to the barrier they went through, which, as it is designed to stop water coming in, would surely remove some of the surface water from their bodies/clothes as they entered.

Titanic (1997)

Corrected entry: Rose's hand sticks to Jack's hand at the end because of how cold it is, so why didn't other things stick, like the whistle to the man's mouth or Rose to the wood or Jack to the wood or Jacks cuffs to his wrist?

gandolfs dad

Correction: Her hand doesn't stick to his hand. Jack's hand has frozen into position while holding Rose's hand so she has to unhook her own hand from him.

Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: Watch Judy's face after she walks off crying after she tells the woman about her parents' death. She is very nearly laughing.

gandolfs dad

Correction: Of course she's laughing she just told a silly lie about how uncaring and unloving her parents were and then how they died, all of which were untrue. Their parents loved them and took care of them and died in a skiing accident not a sinking yacht.

Star Wars (1977)

Corrected entry: In the scene where it shows the death star and Aldaraan in the background the main weapon is pointing away from the planet. But when they are questioning Leia we never see the space station move so how could they have destroyed the planet facing away from it?

gandolfs dad

Correction: This is completely wrong. If you look closely at the external shot of the Death Star as it approaches Alderaan, you can see that it is rotating east to west to line up for the shot. This is also supported by some brief glimpses of the display screen later on during her questioning that show Alderaan moving to the center of the screen, again, because the Death Star is indeed rotating to align itself for the shot.

Gladiator (2000)

Corrected entry: In the scene where there is a team fight in Morroco, watch when the first man to come out get wacked round the face with the spiked ball. He sprays the blood out of his mouth.

gandolfs dad

Correction: Dude, I think after getting whacked round the face with a mace, you'd spray blood.

Star Wars (1977)

Correction: Considering the number of storm troopers in the empire, they would not customize each set of armor. I imagine the black areas between the white armor segments are flexible and can stretch/shrink making the armor, one-size-fits-all.

Grumpy Scot

All the stormtroopers are clones of the same person, Jango Fett, meaning they are all the same size.

Not by this point - the Empire had been phasing out clones since the end of the Clone Wars and replacing them with recruits. The clones aged too quickly to stay in service, and conscription, etc. was simpler and cheaper.

The Matrix (1999)

Correction: They are all going down inside the wet wall, but all at different levels. Neo is at the same level as the Agent, while Morpheus is a few feet above him. He punches through the wall and doesn't jump but falls onto the Agent.

Shay

Correction: Not true. The currency of Tatooine is "wupiupi", not "rupee"

Corrected entry: How does Jango make all his gadgets work? They are not part of his body, and we never see him press any buttons when he does use any gadgets.

gandolfs dad

Correction: The reason you cannot see Jango activate his gadgets is because all of them can be accessed via the helmet in his Mandolorian armor. If you have read the story of Boba Fett in "Tales from Jabbas Palace" you would know this. This way if a Mandolorian warrior has his hands tied he can always find a way to escape.

Corrected entry: Near the end of the film when Lockhart is packing up and leaving because he doesn't want to go into the chamber. Look closely in the mirror next to the door just before Harry and Ron enter the room. You can see Lockhart watching the door waiting for the boys to come in.

gandolfs dad

Correction: Lockhart was jumpy because it could have been one of the teachers coming. He would have heard Harry and Ron's footsteps. I think that would draw his attention to the door.

Correction: It is the real airport.
