Bullitt (1968)

Corrected entry: During the chase, the same white Firebird turns right in front of the Charger from a side junction three times. Then, a few seconds later, the Charger hits a wall after swerving to avoid the same car.

Correction: Not so. The white Pontiac turning down the hill is a Lemans, the larger sister of the Firebird. Later, at the curved wall, a Firebird is indeed coming the other way, but it's a different car.

Bullitt (1968)

Corrected entry: After the charger hits the camera Bullitt has just passed a blue car and then he overshoots the corner. When he reverses and pulls away again there is no sign of the blue car.

Correction: Not true at all. This scene, done in one take, has the Charger and Mustang passing the same blue GTO with a white top. The Charger crashes, then we see the Mustang screech to a halt ahead of the GTO. The Mustang reverses as the GTO pulls over and stops. The Mustang passes in front of the GTO again as it races off after the Charger again. The GTO is always there, partially visible behind the Mustang. See screenshots.

Corrected entry: When Danny gets up in the cafe and the principal says "Hey, you got something for me today?" Danny is not holding anything in his left hand. But in the next shot when they are leaving the shop, Danny has a paper bag and his milk in his left hand.

Correction: After Derek and the principal finish debating at the coffee shop, Danny is at the table. On the table is a few sections of newspaper stacked up, with a white paper bag on top. Two coffee cups and a sugar dispenser are also on the table. Danny grabs the brown tote next to him as he gets ready to leave. The shot changes to Derek, then back to Danny standing up with the brown tote in his right hand, and he fiddles with the straps as he walks past the principal. The white bag and coffee cups are gone from the table. The shot changes again, and the brown tote is now slung over Danny's right shoulder, and he now carries the white bag and the coffee cups in his hands.

Corrected entry: When Danny and Derek go into the coffee shop just before Danny goes to school he has a bag. When he leaves he has the bag when they are arriving at the school Danny is smoking a cigarette and he bag is no where to be found - we don't see the bag again.

Correction: Not true. Danny's backpack is with him from the coffee shop until he leaves Derek outside the school, hugs a girlfriend and heads into the school. Once inside the school, it's apparent time has passed, as the backpack is gone (now in a locker perhaps) and Danny carries only a rolled paper in his hand. There is no suggestion the scenes are uninterrupted time. No error here.

Corrected entry: After the semi crashes into the pylon in the aqueduct, it explodes and there is a shot of the T-800 driving away with John. You see a plywood board fly off the pylon.

Correction: Two of the boards glued to the support pylon were blown off by the bigger-than-expected blast. See screen-shots.
