Despicable Me (2010)

Corrected entry: Gru pulls right up to Vector's place so the girls can deliver the cookies, in full view of Vector's cameras. How does Vector not notice Gru right outside his gate?

Correction: Although Vector has security cameras, Vector is never shown watching the cameras in this scene. When he is first shown in this scene, he is waiting at the door for Margo, Edith and Agnes to deliver the cookies, then after paying for cookies, goes back to his living room and watches TV. Even if the cameras taped Gru parking besides the house, there is no point in the scene that shows Vector watching the security footage, so he would not have discovered he was there.

Casual Person

Correction: Although no alcohol is shown onscreen, it doesn't necessarily mean he hadn't already drank any alcohol already. There's nothing there to say whether or not he quickly had a drink before the ceremony, off-screen, whilst they were setting up on the roof.

Casual Person

Correction: The camera doesn't cut from Penny having two hands on the onion ring to just one hand. After Penny picks up the onion ring with two hands, the camera cuts to Raj squealing at her for a moment. She could have easily let go of the onion ring and put her hand down on her lap during this shot.

The Bat Jar Conjecture - S1-E13

Corrected entry: Sheldon is very particular about sitting in his spot and not allowing anyone else into his spot. We learn later on in the series that he has been this way since Leonard moved in. However at the very end of this episode, we see Leonard sat in Sheldon's spot and Sheldon sat in the arm chair. (00:19:00)

Ssiscool

Correction: At the start of the scene, Sheldon attempts to sit in his spot, but Leonard doesn't let him, because his Physics Bowl trophy is sitting there and then Leonard moves slightly onto Sheldon's spot to make fun of him using the trophy. Presumably, he is just sitting on the arm chair because Leonard wouldn't move and he is just sitting in that seat reluctantly.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Corrected entry: As they approach the Vietnamese sampan Captain Willard says, "Well, let's forget routine now and let 'em go." You can see that there are no other boats to their right, however, in the next shot they pass a small boat on their right with two women in it. (01:34:35)

????

Correction: The small boat they pass was out of frame in the previous shot.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Corrected entry: After the Playboy helicopter takes off the second stuntman falls into the water facing the right of the screen. In the next shot he immediately pops out of the water facing the opposite direction. (01:10:55)

????

Correction: He was off-screen for a short moment when he was under the water, so it's easily plausible that the man changed orientation whilst he was swimming back up.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Corrected entry: As he follows Colonel Kilgore, a grenade explodes behind Captain Willard after someone shouts, "fire in the hole". The shadow of a crewmember can be seen getting out of the way on the left of the screen before the explosion. (00:28:25)

????

Correction: There are many extras shown in this scene, ranging from soldiers to Vietnamese people. The shadow could easily have come from one of them.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Corrected entry: After listening to Colonel Kurtz' voice Harrison Ford turns off the tape recorder with his left hand. In the next shot he's standing to the left of the tape recorder and not touching it at all. (00:14:20)

????

Correction: After Harrison Ford turns off the tape recorder and the shot cuts, he is mostly obscured up by Willard's head, due to him being in the centre of frame, so we can't actually see whether or not if Ford is touching the recorder or not or where his position is next to it.

Casual Person

Corrected entry: Professor Frink says he has a machine that will burn through anything but it happens to be on the outside of the dome. Why didn't the Simpsons use this to make a hole in the dome when they found a way out?

manthabeat

Correction: Even if the drill was still there for the using, there is nothing in the movie that suggests if they even remembered it was there. They could have easily forgotten about it.

Casual Person

Correction: There is nothing to suggest the Simpsons even know how to use Frink's superdrill.

LorgSkyegon

Correction: The EPA came to capture the family so they had to run away. By the time of return, there would have already been the security seen near the end of the film.

Corrected entry: When Spongebob defeats Burger Beard and tells Squidward that they are going to return to the Krusty Krab, he writes down on the paper "And our heros return to the Krusty Krab." Squidward yells as all of them are teleported back to the Krusty Krab. Spongebob says "I left a little surprise, under your shirt." Squidward pulls up his shirt to see he still has his rock hard abs. How did Squidward keep his rock hard abs if Spongebob didn't write it down on the page?

Correction: What happens is, SpongeBob writes down that they return to the Krusty Krab and then Squidward is the only one shown teleporting back to the Krusty Krab - whilst the others teleport back off-screen. As SpongeBob was not shown on-screen as they were being teleported back, this could very well mean he quickly wrote that Squidward kept his rock hard abs whilst they were being teleported back to the Krusty Krab.

Doctor Who (2005)

Correction: The Doctor doesn't regenerate in Christmas 2004, he gets in the TARDIS after being in 2004 and exits the current point in time and then regenerates in the TARDIS. Also, leaving in the TARDIS would have him go through the time vortex meaning that he wouldn't have even been in 2004 anymore. The TARDIS had also gone completely out of control after he had regenerated and had been damaged, so the TARDIS stopping at a different point in the timeline could easily be a possibility.

Rat Race (2001)

Corrected entry: On the Lucy bus, one Lucy throws a cigarette out of the window which then flies out in the air and then through another open window, into another Lucy's hair. However in the next shot as the Lucy's bat the Lucy whose hair is on fire with handbags, all the windows beside the on-fire Lucy are now closed, despite there being an open one seconds earlier. (00:53:55)

Hamster

Correction: Actually, the window is open the entire time. The window on the coach is a slide open window and is pushed to the side to open. In the shot of the Lucy's beginning to pat the Lucy on fire on the head their bags, the part of the window that was visible was in fact the window that had been pushed to the side and the opposing window.

Now You See Me (2013)

Corrected entry: Cowan disappears from the truck from when Fuller shows the video to when the truck is backing up for placement. He wouldn't have gotten out of the truck as he wouldn't want the Horsemen to know it was being staked out. He couldn't be on the side of the safe as he wouldn't fit on either side. (01:22:35)

unkajes

Correction: After the agents appear and Dylan and Fuller get out of the truck, Cowan is beside the other agents so he did in fact get out of the truck between the time the video was shown and when the truck parked. Enough time had passed for him to get out when they were nowhere near 5 Pointz for him to make sure the coast was clear.

The Avengers (2012)

Corrected entry: During the scene where Tony is "threatening" Loki in Stark Towers, he gets a glass of alcohol and drinks it as he is talking to Loki. He is then picked up by the neck by Loki and is thrown to the ground, and his glass is nowhere to be seen. It is not seen dropped or shattered, and it is clear he did not have time to back up and put it down. (01:37:00)

Correction: In the shot after Loki says "How will your friends have time for me when they're so busy fighting you?", it cuts to Loki raising his sceptre, and just as the shot starts, you can see that the glass has been placed on the table next to Tony. In the shots after this, the glass is simply out of frame.

Casual Person

Iron Forged in Fire: Part One - S1-E1

Corrected entry: In the plane on the way to the Earth Mover testing grounds, Howard looks out the window of the right side of the plane and tells Tony to look at Tony’s genius at work. They both look out the widow of the right side of the plane, but the camera pulls back showing the Earth Mover is on the left side of the plane. So Tony and Howard were looking at nothing. (00:04:20)

Quantom X

Correction: In the shot after they look out the window, it shows a shot of the plane above cloud level, so at this point, they aren't actually at the test grounds yet and it is actually possible Tony and Howard were able to see the Earth Mover from this location. THEN the shot cut to show the Earth Mover on the left side of the plane.

Family Guy (1999)

Correction: The sea never jolts, it just drifts normally, like any part of the sea would.

Family Guy (1999)

Correction: It was only the interior of the machine that got blown up after one of the Peter clones threw one of the chicken clones into the machine, whilst the exterior of the machine remained fine. In fact, it can be noticed that the broken glass is shown from when one of the Peter clones threw one of the chicken clones into the machine just as the explosion that destroys the facility occurs.

Family Guy (1999)

Road to the North Pole - S9-E7

Corrected entry: At the end of the episode, as the camera zooms away from the house, Santa, his sleigh and reindeer are sitting on top of the house the entire time. However, he flies in from the right of the screen and towards the viewer.

Correction: Santa was never on top of the house, that was just the Griffins' Christmas decorations of Santa and the reindeer on their roof.

Casual Person

Corrected entry: After the scene where the Careers (District 1) are declared dead, Beetee states that the two Careers are still alive and that he needs two guards at the tree. (02:03:00 - 02:04:25)

Correction: The two Careers Beetee was referring to were Brutus and Enobaria, the two Careers from District 2, not the Careers from District 1. Haymitch had even referred to Brutus and Enobaria as "the other half of the Career Pack" when he was showing them to Katniss and Peeta earlier on, which meant the District 2 tributes are in fact also Careers.

Men in Black 3 (2012)

Corrected entry: When Boris blows a hole in the ceiling the girl's clothes change from a dress to pants. (00:05:05)

Correction: The girl always has a dress. Those "pants" are actually her boots. It's just that the boots are that long it kind of seems like pants, but she definitely has a dress on the whole time.
