Corrected entry: Roughly halfway through the Marshmallow chase scene, Anna releases a bent tree to hit the monster. The tree is seen to have snow on top. Snow does not bend trees like that. Fair enough that the wind might have blown it over, but the snow wouldn't have hardened fast enough to make the bending permanent. Besides, if that was the case, then all the trees would be bent.

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Corrected entry: The chase in Goa, India is on unpaved streets, but squealing tyres are heard, which only happens on tarmac.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie when one of the mercenaries demonstrates how he will shoot a man out of a moving plane, he never pulls the trigger and there is no muzzle flash. Also, the sound of the gun going off is a second late.

Holes (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Mr Sir is explaining about the rattlesnakes danger to Stanley, he's wrong about not dying if a rattlesnake bites you. If you're bitten by one, you can die because a rattlesnake is venomous.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Corrected entry: In the first movie and beginning of the second, Hiccup is left handed. But when he shoots the arrow at Stoig's burning ship, he is a right hander.

Frozen (2013)
Corrected entry: Marshmallow shouldn't be able to go down Elsa's castle's lower room because of his size. The stairway Anna and Elsa climbed in the song "For the First Time in Forever (Reprise)" is too narrow for his upper body to fit through.

Skyfall (2012)
Corrected entry: Silva and his men drive to the court from a nearer tube station. Bond leaves one from further away, and runs to the court. Somehow, Bond arrives not long after Silva to save M.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Corrected entry: In the first movie Hiccup receives his horned helmet from his father, made from his mother's breastplate. His mother is actually very small in this movie though, so the breastplate-helmet could not have been from her.

Despicable Me 2 (2013)
Corrected entry: Silas shows Gru the Research Facility's video footage of the scientists experimenting the PX-41 on the rabbit and the rabbit then killing the two scientists next to him. The shot of the footage is shown zooming in and out a few times, implying someone is filming it. The cameraman advances over the edge of the desk, the rabbit leaps over and the footage turns to static, which then implies the camera it was filmed on was destroyed by the rabbit's attack and the cameraman was killed. Yet somehow the filmed footage somehow remains completely safe despite this savage attack from the rabbit. The footage was safe as it was currently being presented to Gru. (00:13:45)
Correction: The rabbit presumably destroyed the camera, but that doesn't mean the rabbit did any damage at all to the cartridge or memory card inside the camera. It's also a possibility that the camera was a mounted camera being remotely controlled from a safe location where the footage was being recorded. Or that the camera's footage was being recorded live at an alternate location, even if the camera was operated manually. Basically, there are a multitude of reasons why this footage would still be available.

Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Corrected entry: When Merryweather weakens Maleficient's curse, she says that Aurora will sleep for 100 years, but she only sleeps for a short amount of time, since the prince isn't old when she awakens. (00:10:00 - 01:08:40)
Correction: In the original story, she slept for 100 years, but Merryweather never says that she will sleep for that long. When she changes the curse she says "From this slumber you shall wake, when true love's kiss, the spell shall break."

Maleficent (2014)
Corrected entry: When Aurora tells Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit that she is moving out of the cottage, the blue flour that Flittle threw into Knotgrass's face a few moments earlier vanishes almost instantaneously.

X-Men: First Class (2011)
Corrected entry: The televised newcast in the 60's is being transmitted to Shaw's submarine in pristine, practically HD quality.
Correction: Despite what you've obviously heard CinimaSins say about it in their recent YouTube video "Everything Wrong with X-Men: First Class In 8 Minutes or Less", there is nothing at all anachronistic with Shaw's TV reception. Nothing about it actually suggests HD quality in the first place and, considering it's military-grade technology just a few years before we received excellent footage all the way from the moon, there's no reason at all the reception shouldn't be perfectly clear on a submarine.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Corrected entry: Two of the Ghostbusters are examining their evidence, and one of them puts a picture of the man in the huge painting into a device similar to a photocopier. Problem is, the picture comes out the other end of the device before it has entirely finished going in.
Correction: It's a spectral analyzer. Eagon also turns up the roentgens, a unit of measurement for radiation, which presumably makes the device more sensitive. It analyzed the spectral presence within the photograph and printed out a visual representation of that presence. The printout that discharged from the device has nothing to do with the original image that was actually photographed and fed into it, therefore the spectral analyzer does not need to scan the entire photographed image to create this facsimile of the spirit possessing the photographs. In other words, the machine was able to "see" the ghost and print out a picture of it before the entire photo had been scanned. Not out of the question at all, especially for completely fictional technology.
It's a fascinating explanation that proves that you'd be great at writing sci-fi tech for a series or movie (I say it unironically, legit love the write-up), but I don't see any visual or conceptual hint in the movie that supports it? It looks like they feed a picture to a copier and the output comes out before the original picture has gone through the apparatus. Visually the photo rolling in is such a minor detail it's almost unnoticeable.

Planet of the Apes (2001)
Corrected entry: Limbo is frightened when he is threatened with a gun. But the movie later makes it clear that the apes knew nothing of such a weapon, aside from the one kept in secret in the red sculpture.

Man of Steel (2013)
Corrected entry: There's no reasonable way for Lois Lane to get to and find Superman at the end just in time to see him kill Zod, as she had no idea where he would be, and no means of transport to get there in the destroyed city.
Correction: Considering how chaotic the battle was, there's no telling exactly how far away from where Lois started Superman and Zod actually were. Two flying, fighting, super-destructive beings wouldn't be that hard to track either. Just look up until they land somewhere, then go there. As for transportation, she wouldn't have to wait for a bus to pick her up; there would have been any number of abandoned vehicles with keys still in the ignition, engine running.

Batman: Arkham City
Corrected entry: Zsasz says that he had a hand of four sixes during poker. He then says Penguin beat him with a straight... 3, 4, 5, and 6. How could Penguin have a 6? Even if he was cheating that would have invited comment, rather than the legitimate loss for Zsasz it seems to be.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Corrected entry: When Peter reviews Gwen's speech on his computer, she is filmed in a tight head /shoulders shot and at eye level. However, there is no camera at that angle (right in front of her) as she delivers the speech.

Gilmore Girls (2000)
I Get a Sidekick Out of You - S6-E19
Corrected entry: In this episode Lorelai tells Christopher that the girls met in kindergarten, but in 1-17 "The Breakup" at the party, Rory told Henry that she's had Lane for 15 years and is sick of her, meaning she met Lane when girls were one.
Correction: Rory and Lane have been friends for about as long as Rory can remember, therefore she could reasonably say she's been friends with Lane her whole life. It's hyperbole, but the gist of the message remains the same. Saying they've been friends for 15 years is tantamount to this, given that Rory has only very recently turned 16.

The Karate Kid (1984)
Corrected entry: In the movie, Daniel simply rides his bicycle to the beach from Reseda and back. It would be very difficult to make that journey on a bicycle. The nearest beaches from Reseda are at least 15 miles away and would include many miles of swervy roads, hills, and cliffs. Even if riding this route on a bike was possible, it would take at least 2 hours or more each way.
Correction: He doesn't have a car and all the girls at his new school hang out at the beach, so there's his motivation. A casual cycling speed is about ten miles an hour, making the trip an hour and a half, tops. Daniel is a soccer player too, so he's probably fit enough to make the trip faster than that. If you want to argue that the terrain added to his time, fine. So he rode his bike for two hours there and two hours back. I'd done almost as much when I was still in elementary school; Before the age of 12, I, an asthmatic, rode my bike from Wapello, IA to Oakville, IA, a distance of about 12 miles. Daniel, being a good deal older than I was and great deal more athletic, could certainly handle this trip to the beach with little trouble.

Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: During the fight scene between Elle and Beatrix, as Beatrix discovers Budd's Hanso sword, 15 seconds elapse from when Elle was shown striding down the hallway toward the trailer living room and when she picked up and unsheathed the sword. The sword was seen earlier in the fight when she tried to climb back through the bathroom wall to get it, and it was only about 3 feet away from the entrance from the hallway to the living room, so it makes no sense for her to delay long enough to allow Beatrix to get the sword from the golf bag and read the inscription.

Correction: There's a large clump of trees in the area that can be seen bent in the same way. Of course snow bends trees like that. Trees snap all the time from snow bending them too much. And no, not every tree would be like that because the arrangement of the limbs would change the balance of the snow from tree to tree and the amount of open space around the tree would change how much snow was able to settle on it.
