Corrected entry: When Charlotte is in the hotel bar with her husband and Kelly the actress, her hair is switching between tucked behind her ear and hanging down in alternating shots. (00:36:20)

Lost in Translation (2003)
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the film, when Bob rides a taxi to his hotel just after coming to Japan, you can see the Japanese labels on shops and advertisements are reversed in some shots (like seen in a mirror) and correct in other. The reversed shots are those with a view from the taxi with Bob visible, which suggests they were reversed in post-production for some reason.
Correction: The only signs that are backwards are the ones that are reflected in store windows, across the street. For example, when we see the "ASAHI" sign it is backwards, but it is a reflection on the store's glass window.

The Island (2005)
Corrected entry: When the Lincolns are driving to the TV station, the clone stamps on the brake and skids out over the white line. When the copter comes down, it's further back.
Correction: There is nothing in the shot that we are able to know if he backed up or not. There is nothing in the movie that we can use as a focus point. There is nothing visible from the windows. When we see the overshot we see that there are skid marks, which indicates he moved back.

Lost in Translation (2003)
Corrected entry: When Charlotte and Bob run away from the guys with the toy guns she is carrying a handbag. When Bob puts her on the bed later the handbag is gone, but then it's back on their next outing. (00:52:00 - 01:01:35)
Correction: When he is carrying her to her room she is holding the bag. In the next scene she doesn't have the bag, but that doesn't mean she didn't drop it in between scenes. The scenes are not continous so we don't know what she did once she entered the room, until she got to the bed.

Any Given Sunday (1999)
Corrected entry: There is a team that the Sharks play (I think the last team in the movie) that does not have numbers on the front of their jerseys. This is illegal by football rules because all teams must display numbers on the front, back, shoulders and or sleeve of the jersey.
Correction: The league they play in is not a real football league. Their final game is not the super bowl, but the pantheon cup. Since it is not a real league, we can't compare its rules to the rules of the NFL or any other real leagues.

Any Given Sunday (1999)
Corrected entry: No football league from PeeWee to Professional has allowed the mirrored shields in helmets for the past 4-5 years due to the fact that a trainer can't see his eyes in case of a head injury. These shields were shown numerous times throughout the film.
Correction: The league they play in is not a real football league. Their final game is not the super bowl, but the pantheon cup. Since it is not a real league, we can't compare its rules to the rules of the NFL or any other real leagues.

Swordfish (2001)
Corrected entry: When J.T. Roberts and friend come to see the two tech geeks he says 'Gentlemen,If it's not good news...' Right after 'news' look in the glass behind them.You can see the large white reflective screen and two or three of the crew's heads (to the right of the screen) in the reflection. (00:31:15)
Correction: There are other people in the office, it is not necessarily crew for the movie. I also saw two reflections in the mirror, which are most likely the reflections of J.T. Roberts and his friend walking into the room.

Any Given Sunday (1999)
Corrected entry: In the sex scene with LL Cool J in the bathroom, his tie is red. When he is seen again on the dance floor his tie is black.
Correction: In both scenes his tie is red and black, it is a checkered pattern.

Any Given Sunday (1999)
Corrected entry: When Al Pacino gets drunk at the bar the first time, his shirt is brown. When he gets home and calls his ex-wife, his shirt is black.
Correction: His sports jacket is brown and his shirt is black, both at the bar and at home. Any seemingly change in color happens due to lighting of the room, but the clothes are the same.

Correction: Her hair is tucked behind her ear. but there is so much hair that it doesn't all fit. When you look from certain angles you can't see the ear. Some shots are from the back, and those seem like it is not tucked, but if you notice you can see that there is some hair that is tucked someplace.
