Corrected entry: Judging from the make of the cars and the hippie peace signs on the walls, I'd say the movie was set in the early 60's. How then did Wonka parody Neil Armstrong's moon landing line?

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: When the clone finds Padme in the sand, his footprints appear before they're even made.
Correction: That's not true. They do seem a little weird because they're digital but they appear the same moment that the trooper's feet touch the ground.

Family Guy (1999)
Corrected entry: If Stewie was mutated because Lois smoked pot when she was pregnant with him, then why was Stewie's potential brother as smart as him?

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Corrected entry: When Wonka first plays the flute, an OompaLoompa gets there rather fast, considering that they were all across the river. There weren't any OompaLoompas on the candy side of the room when everybody entered.
Correction: There are many Oompa Loompas all over the factory, not just in one room. We don't know where this one came from; evidently it was nearby.

Forces of Nature (1999)
Corrected entry: When Ben and Sarah are talking at the end while the people are running inside from the rain, you can see that the people are moving in slow motion.
Correction: This was meant to show the couple in "the eye of the storm" so to speak. Their moment was so much different than anything else around them. The slowed crowd around them just made it more apparent.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Corrected entry: How did "Slugworth" get to Charlie and Vericua so fast? They discovered the tickets and in a few short seconds he was there.
Correction: We can assume that Wonka probably knew the location of all the golden tickets, and so as Slugworth really worked for Wonka, he was probably sent to the locations to watch for the winners.

Correction: They never specifically say when the movie or the story takes place. It was released in 1971, but a date was never said in the movie.
