Bee Movie (2007)

Corrected entry: When Barry is chasing after the Honey Farms truck, he grabs onto the strap of a backpack belonging to a bicycle rider, and the rider notices this and turns his head. How could a bike rider, traveling at high speed, notice that a bee had landed on his backpack?

wizard_of_gore

Correction: He didn't notice Barry had landed on his backpack. He heard Barry shout and turned to see who was behind him. He didn't see Barry at all or else he probably would have freaked out like everyone else in the movie does when they see a bee.

Licence to Kill (1989)

Correction: The cut is not under his ear, but on the side of his head (under his hair) where he is struck unconscious. When he falls unconscious, no cut can be seen on his face, which makes sense as Bond is unlikely to fall unconscious from a strike in the face.

Hostel: Part II (2007)

Corrected entry: When Paxton's girlfriend finds his decapitated body, there is nowhere near enough blood around for someone who just had his head cut off.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: This is because he was decapitated earlier and layed into this position. He probably lost most of his blood prior to being set up. If he was decapitated sitting at the table, his girlfriend would immediatly have woken up.

Corrected entry: After Spock orders the search for the gravity boots, there is a scene of a crewman removing a wall panel. As he swings the panel past the camera, the dimensions of the panel are seen on the back in black magic marker.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: There is no reason that panels can't have their dimensions written on them in anything that looks like magic marker.

Corrected entry: When the court is listening to the playback of Kirk's personal log stating he never could forgive the Klingons for the death of his son, General Chang is standing behind Kirk and several meters away. He asks Kirk if those were his words. Kirk says, "Those words were spoken by me." When Kirk's defense counsel objects, we see a wide angle shot of the room behind Kirk, and Chang is no longer there.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Chang is standing by the technicians operating the audio equipment, below and to the right (from the judge's perspective) from where the judge sits. The view of this section of the courtroom is obstructed by the ledge in the shot where the defense counsel objects.

JC Fernandez

Correction: Geordi is blind because of an actual problem with his eyes - the energy field appears to fix problems before it addresses aging related issues. Picard also lost his hair some considerable time back - it would be quite a while before the de-aging effect got him back to that stage.

Tailkinker

Correction: Riker is speaking to him through the ship's comm system.

Corrected entry: How is it that Shinzon (Picard's clone), has the same accent? Accents are learned environmentally, and are not genetic. It's stated that Shinzon was shipped off at an early age when the plans to replace Picard were scrapped. So where did he learn the accent?

wizard_of_gore

Correction: In order to replace Picard, he would have to educated like Picard. Whatever means were used to educate the clone could have included the accent (if you are beaming thoughts into someone's head, it shouldn't be to hard to adjust the accent on that inner voice they hear).

Corrected entry: When Johnny and Ben are getting ready for the wedding, we can see that Johnny has only a t-shirt under his dress shirt. Yet after he chases the Silver Surfer and falls to Earth, he now has on his FF costume.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: The FF group almost ALWAYS have their costumes underneath their "normal" clothes, Johnny most of all because he might have to burn off his clothes at a moment's notice. You never see that he's *not* wearing his outfit underneath his tux and t-shirt.

Nick Bylsma

Corrected entry: The final battle occurs in China. Yet at Reed and Sue's wedding all of the women, including Sue, are wearing kimonos, a traditional garment of Japanese origin.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Just because the battle took place in China, doesn't mean the wedding does. Not only the dresses but also the garden they're in points to the fact that they have moved to Japan for the wedding.

Ioreth

Corrected entry: When Jesse and Leslie are helping Miss Edmonds carry the boxes, the teacher's hair is cut in a short bob. A couple of days later, it's long again, past her shoulders.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Ms. Edmunds's long hair is pulled into a side ponytail during that brief scene; her hair length is consistent with the rest of the film.

Waterworld (1995)

Corrected entry: If there were enough ice on the planet that, when melted, would raise the ocean levels to the extent shown in the movie, then the saltwater would be diluted enough to be drinkable, negating the plot point about "hydro" being such a valuable commodity.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: The salt must have come from somewhere else. It is a naturally occurring mineral, after all.

Heroes (2006)

Correction: Place a call to Hiro's dad? His father is somehow wrapped up in the unnamed organization, knows of Hiro's powers, and is somehow connected with Linderman.

Hostel (2005)

Corrected entry: When Paxton kills the "German Surgeon" near the end of the movie, there is blood and bloody water everywhere, yet when he's back on the train, there is not a spot of blood on Paxton's clothes.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: The blood was coming from the mans hand and face which were both pointing down towards the ground, therefore no blood got on Paxton at any time, except maybe his shoes.

X-Men 2 (2003)

Corrected entry: When the X-Men's jet was about to crash and Magneto saves them by preventing the crash, how did he also know to repair the hole in the back of the jet? As the jet comes to a stop, the nose of the jet is facing Magneto.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Magneto's highly attuned to metals - as we see when he picks up on the metal in the guard's blood - and things constructed using them. When he took control of the plane, he sensed the disruption caused by the attack and bent the metal back into shape.

Gothika (2003)

Corrected entry: No way, no how, would a psychiatrist be placed in the same ward with people she had treated. Especially in an institution where there are people who are criminally insane.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: First of all, when Halle wakes up for the first time in the hospital, they explain to her that she is only temporarily stationed in her own ward until they can find another place. Second of all, she murdered her husband, so she herself is kind of criminally insane.

Corrected entry: When the scientists arrive at Wildfire, Dr. Leavitt's glasses are taken away. She is told that they will be treated and returned. She says, "Good, because without them I would need a white cane." Minutes later, she reads a passage from the Wildfire documents with no glasses and no trouble at all.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: I am legally blind without my glasses, but I can easily read documents. What I can't do is see anything clearly if it's further away than my elbow.

Signs (2002)

Corrected entry: These aliens are capable of interstellar travel, but they cannot figure out how to get out of a bathroom, with a wooden door and a simple lock?

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Given their advanced technology they can travel across the stars. Without that, they're stuck with much the same physical equipment that humnas are. It would be easy enough to lock a person in a closet that has a deadbolt, even though humans are smart enough to figure out relativity.

Superman II (1980)

Corrected entry: Near the end, at the Fortress of Solitude, when Lex Luthor "betrays" Superman by telling General Zod about the molecule chamber, he then tells the General "...that crystal over there activates the mechanism." How did Luthor know this? Superman did not tell him.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Because Lex Luthor had already been to the fortress earlier in the film and already figured out how to work the crystal activation mechanism.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: When Doctor Octopus robs the bank vault, how did he hide the massive tentacles under his coat? No one notices him until the tentacles burst out from under the coat in front of the vault.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: In several scenes in the movie, and in the comic book, he could retract his tentacles, like when he walked over Spiderman to throw down the mini-sun. In the comics, Octavius commonly wore the trenchcoat and fedora shown in the bank scene of the movie.
