Friso94

Corrected entry: In the shot which pans down the streets of Paris, a bakery with the word "Boulanger" appears. "Boulanger" literally translates as "to bake." In France, bakeries are called "boulangerie."

Friso94

Correction: Boulanger also means "Baker."

Corrected entry: Okay, giving the movie a huge benefit of the doubt and say that it is in fact possible for Black Widow to survive a hand grenade exploding three feet away by hiding behind a mercenary, it's inside of an armored car. The sound of the blast alone would be concentrated by the metal walls, and leave her very deaf.

Friso94

Correction: She could be wearing earplugs, 1 for a radio the other to protect her ears from explosions.

lionhead

Corrected entry: During the end credits, the camera is constantly circling a marble statue of the Avengers beating Ultron. Early on, there is a close-up of Iron Man's right hand, and it's empty. Later on, in a much further shot, he is firing the repulsor from that same hand.

Friso94

Correction: It's a stylized animated credits sequence and not a traditional scene. They're allowed to make changes if they want throughout the sequence for the sake of visuals without it being a mistake.

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

Corrected entry: When Brian and Mia are in the red Alfa on the runway, Vegh comes after them in one of the flip cars. Brian turns the car around to trick her into crashing into the barriers, but after the turn the red Alfa is still going towards the plane so to speak, and Vegh is going in the opposite direction. When she crashes, the red Alfa is suddenly going the other way, away from the plane.

Friso94

Correction: As part of Brian's trick, he puts the Alfa in reverse, allowing him to fly over Vegh's flip car without actually flipping. Since the car is in reverse gear, it is still moving in the same direction, it is just physically facing the other way.

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

Corrected entry: When Brian lands after he jumps the bridge, the Escort is pretty badly damaged. In the rest of the chase, the car is fine. (01:28:00)

Friso94

Correction: The Ford Escort does get damaged, but not "pretty badly damaged." When the car lands in the opposite lane, one of its headlight rims falls off and its right door hangs open until Brian closes it. In the later scenes of the tank chase, I'm sure it would be hard to tell if the car is visibly damaged, because Brian closed the door and a missing headlight rim isn't really noticeable. "Pretty badly damaged" is an over-exaggeration.

Corrected entry: In this movie, it's established that Salazar is released because Jack gave away the compass. But in the second movie, he gave it to Will and Elizabeth, and in the third movie to Cutler Beckett. Wouldn't it have freed Salazar then too?

Friso94

Correction: He'd only loaned its use previously, while maintaining ownership.

Phixius

Corrected entry: Even if Steve's enormous biceps are strong enough to hold back a helicopter, it would easily be able to take off between the time that he latched onto it and the time that he grabbed the rail. He provides no anchoring at this time, other than his body weight. That wouldn't be nearly enough to hold the helicopter down for as long as he does. (01:09:00)

Friso94

Correction: Steve wasn't holding the helicopter down with his bodyweight - he threw the balance off when he leaped up and grabbed it and Bucky was trying to correct the balance so he could take off without potentially crashing or losing control. You can see the helicopter wobbling after Steve grabs onto it, and Bucky looking shocked and using the controls to try and correct it. By the time the balance had been corrected, Steve was able to grab onto the ledge and hold it.

Fast Five (2011)

Corrected entry: Brian says that 49.2 kilo's is a million dollars in twenties. 1.000.000/20=500.000 notes of twenties. But when Reyes checks his vault, there's also a big bunch of fifties. And when Dom gives Vince's share to Rosa, there are also hundred dollar bills in there. This would seriously alter the weight - because the weight to value ratio of a fifty, and most certainly a hundred dollar bill, differs massively of that from a twenty. (00:28:30)

Friso94

Correction: Depending on how Reyes fences and launders the money, he could be changing up to higher denominations to save space. All we know is that the money is delivered to the cash houses on a weekly basis. So by all means they could be delivered as twenties and fenced through banks or other business' to higher denominations. It's also explained that anything illegal in Rio is to do with Reyes so its entirely plausible he has more than twenties.

Ssiscool

Correction: Maybe they went by 20s just to calculate how heavy the load could possibly be. Because if 20s were switched out for bigger bills, that would just make it lighter and easier for them to pull.

12th Feb 2013

Fast Five (2011)

Corrected entry: When Hobbs shoots Reyes, listen closely and you can hear shells falling on the ground - impossible, seeing how Hobbs is using a revolver, which retains the shell casings.

Friso94

Correction: You hear Hobbs walking on shattered glass that sounds similar to the casing falling.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: During the battle with Wesker, at one point, Claire fires her pistol four times in a rapid succession. Problem is that this is too rapid, especially the middle two. Even if you could find a way to pull the trigger that fast, the pistol can't kick back, pick up a new bullet, recock, and be fired again that fast. (01:22:45)

Friso94

Correction: The rate of fire for semi-automatic pistols is essentially how fast you can pull the trigger because the gun is able to load the next round before you release the trigger. If you ever watch speed shooting you'll know Claire could fire this fast. One expert was able to fire 26 rounds in 3.7 seconds from a semi-auto pistol (which means 4 round were fired in less than.62 seconds).

The Flash (2014)

Fast Enough - S1-E23

Corrected entry: Particle accelerators have to be a perfect vacuum in order to work properly, otherwise the particles inside would constantly collide with the air molecules. This means Barry couldn't possibly be running inside, because he doesn't have any breathing apparatus with him.

Friso94

Correction: As seen in many episodes, Barry's cells can rapidly reproduce new cells even with no oxygen (as seen in season 1 where the man could create a poisonous gas) and Barry survived. Therefore he would not have to have a breathing aid.

Corrected entry: When the Avengers are defending the core, Ultron flies in and starts fighting Vision in real time, but pay attention to the left side of the screen: Iron Man is flying by in slow-motion. (01:56:25)

Friso94

Correction: All the action on the ground is slow motion, Cap, Scarlet Witch's red power, the robots, not just Iron Man. So there's nothing to indicate it was real-time. It could have been done to show Ultron's speed, or just a style choice.

Bishop73

Endgame - S1-E12

Corrected entry: When Korra gets her bending back, she ends with a massive wave shooting up over the cliff. But there is a difference between the shape of the wave between the two shots: in the first one, there is a sort of notch, through which we can see Korra, but in the reverse angle, the notch is instantly gone, it's just a wall of spray. (00:21:05)

Friso94

Correction: 1) That is exactly how it is intended. The white portion of water gets sprayed. The blue portion goes back down. It is unsurprising, especially because Korra is emanating a shockwave. 2) I can see two notches going back down.

FleetCommand

Correction: First, "there isn't so much as a scratch" is wrong; we don't know if there was or wasn't a scratch, because the part that gets scratched was not shown. Second, "those are pretty tough" is a personal assumption. (I assume from the real world?) A car is shown to have bent a lamp post. That's evidence that lamp posts in this cartoon world (which is a steam-punk world) are not tough.

Waterworld (1995)

Corrected entry: When Costner blows up the Exxon Valdez with his flare, we get a shot of the deck from up high. Halfway through this shot, Hopper and his crew suddenly appear from nowhere, along with the railing he is leaning on.

Friso94

Correction: While it is a weird looking shot, it's not a mistake, the camera has just pulled back far enough to reveal them. You can tell this is what happens because there are two objects on the deck and their position changes also, consistent with the camera angle changing.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: When Hiccup first blindfolds Toothless, the piece of fabric is fully intact. But in the next shot, a small tear above Toothless' right eye suddenly appears. (01:23:20)

Friso94

Correction: There is a tear in the blindfold the entire time.

No there isn't.

11th Jan 2012

Fast Five (2011)

Corrected entry: When Brian and Dom jump from the cliff and land in the water. They do not show any signs of bruising, not even a small one. From that height, hitting the water is like hitting concrete. It probably wouldn't kill them, but they wouldn't just walk away in the way they did. (00:17:00)

Friso94

Correction: The car that they were in hit the water first and broke the surface tension making it less of an impact. If it was just them falling, no car, then it would've been worse.

28th Jun 2014

The Transporter (2002)

Corrected entry: Tarconi says there were 5000 spent shell casings around Frank's house. But we only see three guys, which are probably all of them, seeing how all of the bullets are coming from the same direction. All three of them use weapons with standard 30-round magazines, and are only seen reloading once. Even if you give the film a lot of wiggle room and say they actually reloaded 10 times, that's still not enough. They would need to have reloaded over 50 times - not to mention they would stand there firing guns for over ten minutes.

Friso94

Correction: Inspector Tarconi actually states that there are "five dozen spent rounds...". His thick accent certainly doesn't make the confusion a hard one to make.

Corrected entry: When Peter lunges for the Infinity Stone, he reaches out for and catches the stone with his right hand, yet for the rest of the scene, the stone is in his left hand.

Friso94

Correction: When he is on the ground with the stone, he holds it with both hands, then transfers it to his left hand when he stands up.

Greg Dwyer

Corrected entry: When Sam is telling Bumblebee about how Mearing called him he is 'just a messenger", he gets a jug of milk out of the fridge which is practically full. After Wheelie says "The disrespect on this rock is criminal" the jug is suddenly only barely full. It is not missing the amounts which you can pour in a glass or drink in that time.

Friso94

Correction: There is nothing indicating the jug is practically full. In fact you can see when he pulls it out, it's only about half full. He does tilt the jug quite a bit that causes the milk to splash up top, but there's no mistake.
