Corrected entry: In the scene when Katniss cuts the branch with the Tracker Jackers, the branch falls down with the swarm attacking those on the ground. Katniss climbs down from the tree, and the Trackers are all instantly gone.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Correction: Everything in the game arena is artificial and is created, controlled, and continually changed as needed by the game technicians. Just like the killer mutts seen at the end, the tracker jackers were created artificially by computers and were added and removed instantly. The gamers put the hive in the tree after Katniss was trapped there so it could be used as a weapon (Rue pointed it out to her). Earlier, when Katniss escaped the fire, that was also an environmental condition created by the gamers, and once it served its purpose (to steer her back to the other tributes), it was extinguished and the damage repaired. The mocking jays that Katniss and Rue heard in the trees were also artificial.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Corrected entry: During the bloodbath, the District 6 girl is seen on the ground looking up at Marvel while he stabs her with his spear. Throughout the rest of the bloodbath, the same girl is seen battling to District 3 boy. (01:08:45 - 01:09:30)
Correction: It is not the same person. The girl from District 6 is the one who is killed. The girl battling the District 3 boy is Glimmer. Both girls have long blonde hair worn in a somewhat similar style that is pulled back, but the District 6 girl has tighter braids and Glimmer's hair is a looser pig-tail style.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Corrected entry: When Caesar Flickerman interviews Katniss on the night before the Games, you can see the edge of Stanley Tucci's wig right behind his ear. (00:56:25)
Correction: Of course you can see the edge of the wig, because Caesar is wearing a wig. The citizens in the capital dress in outlandish costumes, use garish make-up, have strange hair styles often dyed in bright colors, and wear all kinds of odd hats, ornate jewelry, embellishments, hair pieces, and elaborate wigs. It's not meant to be Caesar's real hair.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Corrected entry: When Katniss is hallucinating from the tracker jacker stings, she sees and hears Caesar (the announcer) describing the effects of the venom, which he had just done for the television audience. However, as she is inside the arena, she could not have seen him do this and would thus not 'remember' it in her vision.
Correction: Katniss would not have to "remember" it. She is hallucinating it. Like everyone else, she's watched past televised Hunger Games and knows that Ceasar describes in detail everything that happens during the games. Tracker jackers have probably been used in previous games. It is hardly a stretch that she would hallucinate him explaining about the tracker jackers to the audience, or in this case, to her personally.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Marvel throws a spear at Rue, Katniss pulls an arrow from the ground to shoot at Marvel, yet nowhere in the whole scene does she ever take an arrow out and put it on the ground.
Correction: She is picking up her bow from the ground. She put it down so she could cut Rue free from the net she was trapped under. She then quickly grabs an arrow from her quiver.

Corrected entry: Clove dies twice. Once at the cornucopia and later when when later Thresh kills her for Katniss/Rue.
Correction: Clove did NOT die at the Cornucopia. She is clearly alive during the entire bloodbath. She is seen grabbing supplies and when she throws the knife at the tribute who is about to kill Katniss. She then throws another knife at Katniss, but misses. The two actresses who played the female tributes from District 3 and District 4 both have similar looks to the one who played Clove, but it was definitely not her. Also, Clove is wearing a dark-colored jacket, and the dead girl has a yellow one. If you look at a cast photo of the tributes, you can see the similarities between the three actresses.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Corrected entry: After both Katniss and Peeta are healed, they are walking by the river discussing the remaining tributes in the Games. Peeta mentions "Foxface" in reference to the girl tribute from District 5. Neither Peeta nor the audience should know this nickname Katniss created, as she at no point mentioned it to anyone.
Correction: How is it known that she never mentioned it to anyone? Just because she is not heard saying it onscreen, does not mean she didn't previously use that nickname before the games when she was talking to Peeta or the support team. Haymitch, Cinna, and the others worked closely with Katniss and Peeta to prepare them, and they spent much time discussing the other tributes - who they were, what their strengths were, and so on. Katniss could have used that name at any time when referring to the girl from District 5.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Corrected entry: When the Fallen are displayed in the sky after Thresh is killed by the mutts, he is the only tribute shown, despite that Clove and Foxface both died earlier that day. In addition, the Panem national anthem is not played when the Fallen are revealed even though it's meant to be every time they're shown. (02:01:15)
Correction: Just because we don't see it in the movie, does not mean that off-screen Clove and Foxface's images hadn't already been projected onto the arena's sky to the TV audience who are watching the Hunger Games. We saw Clove and Foxface being killed. Thresh's face is being shown to us so we're aware that he was also a victim. For the purposes of streamlining the movie's plot line and running time, it simply wasn't necessary to show us Clove and Foxface's pictures after we already knew they were dead or to hear the anthem again. It was the movie makers' choice to avoid boring repetition.

Correction: Because the people in the ground getting stung took off running for their lives and in pain. The tracker jackers chased them and left the hive behind.
