Deliver Us From Eva (2003)
Corrected entry: When the guys are 1st introduced to Ray at the bar, the napkin on the counter in front of him jumps from being in front of him to the left of him during their talk.
Correction: If you look closely Ray is playing with the napkin , it's possible that he could be the one moving it around.

Old School (2003)
Corrected entry: When the student is seen pulling out the school newspaper from the paper stand, the remaining papers in the stand are not the same as the one taken out.
Correction: If you look at the newspaper that was underneath, there is no heading on it. It can be assumed that it is the same paper but the page we are seeing is faced down.

Demolition Man (1993)
Corrected entry: When Spartan swings around to smash Phoenix's frozen body, you see the head of Phoenix looking straight ahead, but as his head was getting frozen he was looking down at the ground.
Correction: Phoenix's head is initially looking down at Spartan but as Phoenix is freezing he raises his head to look straight forward.

Bruce Almighty (2003)
Corrected entry: When Bruce gets fired from his job, they throw him out along with a box full of his personal items. The box lands on its side. When the camera angle changes the box is now placed between his legs and everything is back in the box. (00:16:50)
Correction: The box actually lands in between Bruce's legs. It just lands a bit crooked. In the next shot, its perfectly straight but that is possible to have happened in between the shots.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Corrected entry: When the card game begins, Russ opens up a deck of cards and places the deck in front of him. The camera angle changes and Topher is now dealing out the cards. He never handed him the cards. (00:06:20)

Purple Rain (1984)
Corrected entry: When they remove Kid's father from the basement to rush him to the hospital they lift him off the ground on a stretcher and you can see that there are no markings on the floor. As Kid is thinking about what happened, he looks at the floor and you now see a tape outline of a body on the floor. (01:18:21)
Correction: The way I interpret this scene, which is mentioned twice in the mistakes section, is that even though his father didn't succeed in killing himself, maybe The Kid was "wishful thinking" his father had died.
This is mostly all going on in his head, so anything is possible. I believe what the scene is meant to portray is his mental assessment (in his own mind) of the situation and of the similarities that he now has with his father. Both talented musicians, both abusive towards their female companions, both spiraling out of control. His father just tried to kill himself because it got so bad, and he is heading that way - in his vision, he sees himself hanging. He loses it entirely and starts smashing things, until he comes across his father's music (which his father lied to him and stated he never wrote them down). This sort of brings him back to reality and let's him know that it is not too late.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: After the FBI shut down all the power to the grid that the building is located in, there is a scene of the news van rushing to the home of Holly and in the background you see the building and lights are on all around it.
Correction: It's not possible to know if we are even seeing the same building that has just lost power.

Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
Corrected entry: During the entire time of Larry and Richard moving Bernie around and even dropping him off the railing of the house his toupee never falls off.
Correction: There are adhesives that are more than strong enough to hold a toupee on through all of that. I know one guy who wears a toupee and can keep it on for days at a time with no problems.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: Right before Korben gets into the sleep chamber, he throws in his jacket and you can see his foot on the ledge. The camera angle changes and he is seen with both feet still on the ground.
Correction: When the camera angle changes we only see Korben's head and upper torso. The foot on the ledge is still on the ledge, he uses it to lever himself up and lift his other foot into the same chamber.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Corrected entry: When the cops attach the winch to Korben's cab, he takes off breaking the winch and when the camera angle changes you see that his cab door is now closed and the winch is nowhere to be seen.
Correction: As Korben drives away, his door is open and the winch cable is pulling on the cop car, then the winch breaks inside the cop car. We don't see the outside of the cab after it breaks the winch until almost a minute later. In that time, Leeloo would have identified the dangling winch and wire as dangerous and dropped it, while Korben would have closed the door as soon as he could (a safety precaution in a flying cab).

Young Frankenstein (1974)
Corrected entry: When the guard is teasing the monster with a match he takes the cigarette from behind his ear to light. When the match goes out he lights another and the cigarette is back behind his ear.
Correction: The guard is a sadist. He takes the cigarette from behind his ear, but realizes that he can torment the monster with the match before he lights the cigarette. The shot stays on the monster for several seconds, and when it switches back to showing both characters, the guard's hand is just moving away from his ear. He put the cigarette back so he could torture the monster with fire.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Corrected entry: When Nemo and Dr. Jekyll are in the pit when the bombs explode they are being attacked by the monster "Hyde" and the bombs blow a hole in the brick wall behind them. The wall disappears for a moment and then re-appears so they can escape through it. (01:37:25)
Correction: The hole in the wall through which Nemo and Dr. Jekyll escape stays till the end of the scene.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Corrected entry: When Dr. Jekyll turns back into himself after saving the submarine, as he walks into Nemo's dining room you see Quatermain standing there clasping his hands in front of him and when the camera angle changes to a wide view Quatermain now has his hands behind him.
Correction: In this scene, Quatermain is not seen standing still - he lifts the table back into position, then moves two chairs up to it, then the group moves to receive the message from Skinner. Nowhere is Quatermain standing with hands clasped. Perhaps at another point in the movie?

S.W.A.T. (2003)
Corrected entry: When they use Street's ramming device to pull out the wall of the house, the camera angle inside the house shows a couch which is about 5 feet away from the wall. After they pull the wall down, you can see the couch is now firmly attached to the wall as the wall is standing up in the front yard. You also see a number of items laying around the wall that were not seen from the inside view.
Correction: The couch is not that far from the wall and the barbs from the hook actually pull the couch through the wall.
6th Sep 2003
First Wives Club (1996)
Corrected entry: When Annie goes to talk to her daughter at the bar, you see Annie introducing herself to the woman at the bar and shaking her hand. The camera angle changes and she is no longer shaking her hand but she is still introducing herself.
Correction: In the very next shot after Annie shakes the woman's hand, the woman is saying something to Annie. Annie isn't still introducing herself to her.
16th Sep 2003
Bulletproof Monk (2003)
Corrected entry: The Monk With No Name helps his Master from almost falling off the bridge and when he pulls him up they are standing in front of each other. The camera angle changes and they are now almost 10 feet from each other. (00:02:39)
Correction: It's obvious that it's not directly after, but a few seconds after.
9th Aug 2003
S.W.A.T. (2003)
Corrected entry: When the crime lord is escaping in the subway, Street's old partner can be seen sticking his middle finger up at Street as the train is pulling away and then standing straight up. The camera angle changes and you see his old partner leaning over again with his middle finger up.
Correction: Gamble's standing up when the train pulls away, because he is still in Street's line of view. As the train is moving away, Gamble leans over so that he can still see Street's expression, since Street can't make the shot.
17th Jul 2003
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Corrected entry: When Gandalf suggests that they take the Pass Of Caradhras the group is then seen walking together in a area that's completely covered in snow. The camera angle changes to a close-up and they are now in an area that has a number of rocks not covered by snow and when Frodo falls the group is not seen in the same formation. (01:38:22)
Correction: It is not impossible that time has passed between the shots, which would explain the new scenery and group formation.
30th Jun 2003
The One (2001)
Corrected entry: MVA Agent Evan Funsch finds out that his partner has been killed - he follows Gabe down a hallway and aims his gun at his back. You can see the blue dot from the laser on the gun on Gabe's back but when he turns to face the MVA agent, the dot doesn't show up anywhere on Gabe even though the agent is still aiming his gun at him.
Correction: As shown in previous scenes (for example in the hospital scene, where Yulaw tries to kill Gabe) the blue (or red) laser dissapears after it has been locked onto a target.

Correction: The guys that carla approaches in the hospital scene, are all in the same close area. One is talking to a nurse, one is looking at a wall and one is sitting. As she gets close, they stop what they're doing and meet her. All three guys can be seen coming over.
