Corrected entry: The final song mentions the Colt .45 round multiple times, but those weren't made by Colt until 1872, 14 years after the events of this movie.

Arrow (2012)
Corrected entry: When Falk is first threatening Nichol, Oliver watches it on his phone. You can see the progress bar from YouTube Underneath, revealing that it's not a live recording. (00:10:15)
Correction: The only phones that received this transmission had numbers that were registered to home addresses in the Glades. Oliver's phone number is not registered to a home address in the Glades. He is only receiving the video because Felicity is recording it as it is broadcast and sending the recording to Oliver, who is therefore seeing the recording on somewhat of a delay. Hence the progress bar; and it's not a YouTube progress bar because those are red and this one is blue.

The Legend of Korra (2012)
The Spirit of Competition - S1-E5
Corrected entry: In round three of the last match, Korra opens with dodging an earth disk. This one was going to hit her in the head but it wasn't called by the refs.

Fast & Furious (2009)
Corrected entry: The first hitch which Letty sprays changes from black to white. Also, it isn't destroyed when she smashes it with the hammer. (00:03:00)

The Southern Air Temple - S1-E3
Corrected entry: When Aang goes into The Avatar State because he found Gyatso, statues and paintings of the previous avatars begin to glow all around the world, including the Fire Sage's temple. They act as is this was the first time, but Aang already went into The Avatar State before this point, when he thrown off Zuko's ship in the previous episode.

Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
Corrected entry: The blue truck is ridiculously close to the van. No driver in their right mind would drive that close behind someone (even the most obnoxious tailgater) on the freeway, let alone when there are people firing automatic assault rifles in there.

The Siege of the North (Part 2) - S1-E20
Corrected entry: When Aang is talking to Koh, Koh says that the Avatar tried to kill him in a past life, 800 or 900 years ago. Later on in the show, when Aang is on the Lion Turtle, it is revealed that it was Avatar Kuruk who tried to kill Koh. Kuruk was the Avatar before Kyoshi, who was born 400 years ago, as was revealed in The Warriors of Kyoshi. There is a 400 year gap between those events that doesn't fit together. If Kuruk was 400 years old, it would contradict what is stated in Avatar Day, because there, they said that Kyoshi was the oldest Avatar, at 230 years old.
Correction: Kuruk was the last full-realized Avatar before Kyoshi. But just like Aang was trapped in stasis for a century where the world had no Avatar, all kinds of things could have happened to delay the next Avatar's arrival. War or illness could have killed off an unrealized Avatar as a child, for instance. There could have been two or three incarnations that never became full-fledged Avatars. Maybe Koh's dates are a little off. He says 800-900 years ago; a hundred years is an awful big range of uncertainty. This is all conjecture, sure, because there just isn't enough information to support these claims. But so is this mistake's claim that it is impossible for Kuruk to have killed Koh since there is no where near enough information to support that either. If it were stated outright in the show that Kyoshi was born the very first autumn after Kuruk's death, then we'd have a mistake for certain. But it isn't, so we don't.

Man of Steel (2013)
Corrected entry: After the scout ship moves, we see a polar bear, indicating it is now on the north pole. But then Superman emerges from the ship, you can see mountains. There are no polar bears on the south pole, and no mountains at the north pole.
Correction: This scene takes place in northern Canada, where there are both mountains and polar bears.

The Avatar and the Firelord - S3-E6
Corrected entry: Roku dies at the end of the episode because he is about to be engulfed by a pyroclastic cloud. It is made clear that when the Avatar is in imminent danger, The Avatar State is triggered. So it should have triggered, saving Roku, but that couldn't happen for obvious plot purposes, even though it defies what they said earlier.
Correction: First, The Avatar State is only triggered reflexively as a defense mechanism until the Avatar learns to control The Avatar State. Roku has, at this point, long since mastered The Avatar State and so here it is not triggered. Second, entering The Avatar State does not make the Avatar immortal, it just makes them more powerful and grants them the full awareness of all previous Avatars. Not only is an Avatar in The Avatar State not immortal, if an Avatar dies while in The Avatar State, the Avatar line will end forever. Roku knows this, and he also knows he is doomed, which is why he deliberately does not enter The Avatar State. He is trying to preserve the Avatar line for future generations.

Dredd (2012)
Corrected entry: The guy who shoots Dredd in the information booth uses the same gun that one of the guys outside the medical center had. You can tell by the very distinctive tape around the front end of the gun. It would seem extremely unlikely that they would have both done that, or that the second guy would go down more than 150 stories just to get a weapon, when there are plenty at hand.

Dredd (2012)
Corrected entry: The silencers on the Judges' guns don't seem to make any difference: they sound exactly the same in normal as in silencer mode.
Correction: Yes, just like a real silencer. Silencers don't actually "silence" a weapon, they just make it very slightly quieter, like 15% or so. (The soft sound heard in most movies is very inaccurate). As the target, it's more difficult to judge how far away the weapon being fired is because you don't know if it's a distant weapon or a nearer but silenced weapon that's being shot at you, thereby making it more difficult to determine where to aim return fire. The guns sound the same to the viewing audience because there's not a lot of discernible difference on your TV between a sound that is 120 decibels (silenced gunfire) and a sound that is 140 decibels (normal gunfire) and we're always right next to the guns as they're being fired, not across the atrium with the villains being fired upon, so the effect would be almost totally lost on us anyway.

Dredd (2012)
Corrected entry: When Dredd is going through the ammo options and they all indicate empty, you can see that the display on the side of the gun is turned off, when it should have lettering on it. (01:15:00)
Correction: The display could not have been off since we only know the gun is empty because we can see the word "Empty" under the type of ammo Dredd has called up on the display. Any other angle in which it appears to be off is just because a bright blue light shining out of your gun in every direction isn't very tactical, so it's only visible from a very narrow angle; we have such technology now, so they certainly have it in this future world.

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
Corrected entry: When Letty and Dom are sliding around Picadilly Circus, right after the slow motion, Letty changes gear. In order to do this, she clutches and shifts. But if you look closely, there are only two pedals: her Interceptor is an automatic. The pedal she actually hits, is the brake. Push the brake that hard during a high-speed drift in an old car like that and it will spin out of control in a massive cloud of smoke.
Correction: Pushing the brake is one way of maintaining a drift and correcting steering when the steering wheel is already at its sharpest angle in an automatic equipped car.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Corrected entry: You can't swim in petroleum. The human body is much denser (and thus, would sink like a brick) when you would try to swim in it. Not only that, but the fumes above it are toxic, so you would also die of poisoning.
Correction: Yes, the human body is more dense than petroleum, however it doesn't necessarily mean you'll sink like a brick. You also need to take into account a person's body mass, fat distribution, and lung capacity, all of which make it possible to swim for short periods of time in oil. As for the inhalation of the fumes, the toxic effects are not likely to manifest immediately. People have been purposely inhaling gasoline, glue, aerosols and other hydrocarbons for years, and it takes long term exposure to cause death.
Although, any ingestion of petroleum can cause immediate affects, such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and it would intensely burn your eyes if you got any in them. Speaking from experience.
They were in Venice. It is likely the tunnel was at or below water level. The petroleum is able to float on the surface of water. It is possible they would be able to swim underneath the layer of petroleum.

Iron Man 3 (2013)
Corrected entry: Tony starts the movie with putting a number of sensors into his body, so that the Mark XLII knows where he and his limbs are. But neither Pepper or Killian have these sensors (it is ridiculously unlikely to assume otherwise) and yet the suit assembles perfectly fine on them as well.
Correction: The sensors injected into him allow him to remote control his suit. Not just follow him. it allows him to send it anywhere.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Corrected entry: Andy arrives in Shawshank in 1949, which is stated in the beginning. He escapes in 1966, making it 17 years. But when he collects the money, Red says that he took the money as service pay for 19 years of work, a two year difference.
Correction: Andy arrived in 1947, not 1949.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
Corrected entry: During the entire fight scene in the hallway of Hammer Industries, Natasha Romanoff only has a pistol on her left hip. None of the guards she takes out have guns, but when she busts into Vanko's room, she is holding two pistols.
Correction: Incorrect. Natasha carries a Walter PPK/S on her hip while entering the building. The guards shown have holstered H&K USP compact pistols. Considering how many she beat up to get there, it is conceivable that she stopped to grab a USP out of an unconscious guard's holster before breaching the control room with her PPK as well as the guard's USP.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Corrected entry: When Optimus tells everyone about the Ark, at one point, we get a close up of Ironhide. This shows his right eye is badly damaged, in such a way that it's shut. But when we get to the Mexican standoff, both of his eyes are wide open. And when he says "class dismissed", it's shut again. (00:28:10 - 01:09:05)
Correction: Ironhide's right eye is smaller than his left eye. This has been consistent in all 3 Transformers movies. It's more noticeable on close-ups, but it's always been like that.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
Corrected entry: If all of Smith's fingers are broken to the point where he can't shoot a gun anymore, how did he get the magazine out of the gun, took the bullets out of the magazine, and put them between his fingers?
Correction: While he would obviously be in a lot of pain, his hands are still able to move.
18th Mar 2013
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Corrected entry: Optimus Prime says that the spacebridge would have won the Autobots the war. If so, wouldn't make more sense if they would keep it on Cybertron and use it, instead of risking it all by trying to fly it out with The Ark and bring it back later on anyway?
Correction: We do not know what they were going to do with the space-bridge to win the war. Why couldn't the Autobots use it elsewhere (another planet for example) in an unknown manner to defeat the Decepticons?
