Corrected entry: Despite the fact that their passports were stolen, the gang is still able to legally travel to Berlin and Rome.

The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
Corrected entry: Larry Flynt was in fact married three times before marrying Althea. Nowhere in the film were the previous marriages ever mentioned, or even the fact that he had children from previous marriages and relationships.
Correction: Just because something is not mentioned does not make it a mistake. These facts may have been deliberately ignored at the request of Larry Flynt himself, or just not important to the plot.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: When Kryten is lying to Lister and saying that his deletion is not Lister's fault, his right foot (and eventually his whole body) is jiggling: Lister says that this is how he knows Kryten is lying. However, Kryten has told lies many times since Lister taught him to, and this foot-jiggling has never been seen before or since.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Corrected entry: When Lister convinces his past self to "invent" the Tension Sheet, he, Cat and Kryten vanish, having never become part of the Dwarf's crew. When Rimmer visits Lister, Lister does not remember him, because they have never met - if Lister can't remember people he's never met, why can Rimmer and Holly?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: In 'Graduation Day, Part 2' all the parents run for their lives after the Mayor ascends. Doesn't a single one of them worry about the kids they're leaving behind or try to get them to run too? (00:33:20)
Correction: Wouldn't the kids have explained the situation to them? After all, you don't normally take a weapon to your graduation, and you would be smartly dressed for the occasion.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the guy in the vampire suit is interviewing the smart gremlin. He is in a TV studio. Shouldn't the lights be hurting the gremlin? They are really, really bright, and bright light hurts them. I know that they had an anti-light potion or something, but they gave that to the one who had wings.
Correction: Gremlins (and Mogwai for that matter) cannot be hurt by artificial lights, only direct sunlight. They are just afraid of any light, and the smart gremlin is wearing sunglasses so isn't affected.

The 51st State (2001)
Corrected entry: When Felix goes home to his mother's house, it's breakfast time, and he's carrying a copy of the Liverpool Echo. As any Scouser will tell you, the Liverpool Echo is an EVENING paper, that hits the streets around 4pm. Was Felix having a very very late breakfast? (01:08:50)
Correction: It could be the previous evening's paper, which can still be available early the following morning.

Only Fools and Horses (1981)
Big Brother - S1-E1
Corrected entry: When Del and Rodney are in the Nag's Head for the first time, he introduces Trigger to Rodney as though they have never met. But if Del and Trigger went to the same school, surely Rodney would have known who Trigger was and why he is called "Trigger"?
Correction: Just because he's an old schoolmate of Del's dosen't mean that Rodney will automatically know him. My family don't know half the people that I went to school to.

The 51st State (2001)
Corrected entry: When they arrive at the Manchester pub, the blackboard outside says Manchester Utd v. Liverpool but the match itself is played at Anfield, Liverpool's Home ground. In Britain, the home team is ALWAYS first on the team sheet, no matter where it is written so the match (written the way it was) should have been played at Old Trafford. (00:15:50)
Correction: Theoretically correct, but bear in mind it's a MANCHESTER pub. Mancunians regard Scousers as the sworn enemy, and therefore would not be too keen at seeing Liverpool's name before Man Utd's regardless of where the game is being played.

The Simpsons (1989)
Corrected entry: This episode takes place in 2030, and it's said that Lisa was just inaugurated President. There will be a presidential inauguration in 2029, not 2030.
Correction: Not necessarily. Although not routine, there may be an inauguration in 2030 if the previous president's term is terminated early for some reason (e.g. they die or are impeached, or simply resign).
22nd Mar 2004
Bottom (1991)
Bottom's Up - S1-E5
Corrected entry: When the man comes into the shop he buys 3 bottles of champagne and writes the cheque out to Eddie. Later on Eddie says "I'm not bothered, I've got a cheque for £53 here." It isn't possible to divide 53 by 3 and get a whole number.
Correction: Who says it's exactly £53? Could be £52.98 for champagne at £17.66 a bottle.
18th Feb 2004
Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: At the start of the episode, Lister is trying to teach Kryten how to lie. Yet in "The Last Day", Kryten lied in order to prevent himself from being killed.
25th Jan 2004
Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: Both Rimmer and Lister go through a door on the left hand side of the drive room which wasn't there in the previous episode, "The End".
Correction: I believe there was a door - it was the entrance to the Captain's office.
21st Apr 2003
The Nutty Professor (1996)
Corrected entry: Around halfway through the movie when Sherman gets home from his first date with Carla he puts a microwavable dinner in the microwave but there is a tinfoil top to it. For some reason this doesn't cause any problems.
Correction: It may not be tinfoil. You can get microwavable foil, used underneath microwaveable pizzas, so no reason it couldn't be used in a ready meal too.
7th Jan 2004
Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: If the entire crew has been resurrected, shouldn't there be another Kochanski because the one from starbug is the Kochanski from another Dimension?
Correction: Simple. We can assume that Kryten's nanobods know there already is a Kochanski. They didn't feel the need to resurrect another.

Correction: They could have acquired emergency passports. Plus many European countries have stopped routine passport checks across borders with other EU countries.
