Hook (1991)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Hook is going to commit suicide, he can be seen wearing his red coat whilst walking to and from the cabinet. In the shot after he has reached the center of the room and cocked the pistol, the red coat is missing entirely, and he is now only wearing a waistcoat and shirt.

Correction: He's not really wearing the coat, he just has it draped on his shoulders. When he lifts his arm up to point the gun to his head, the coat drops to the floor. We don't see it fall because the camera angle is a closeup of the back of Hook's head. But when Smee walks Hook to bed, you can see the red coat lying on the floor right where he was standing during his attempted suicide.

Hook (1991)

Corrected entry: When Hook inspects Peter, he looks at his scar, and in a closeup the area surrounding the scar is very hairy. Yet in later parts of the film, such as when the Lost Boys paint Peter's body, the area around the scar, as well as the rest of his body, is smooth and hairless!! The proportions of the scar differ in these shots as well. (00:42:25 - 01:05:20)

Correction: The Lost Boys must have shaved him off-camera sometime before they painted the smiley face on his torso (which we also don't see them do).

Hook (1991)

Corrected entry: After Hook kills Rufio, and Peter and Hook are fighting on the stairs near where Rufio died, you should be able to see Rufio but he isn't anywhere to be seen.

Correction: Hook kills Rufio at the topmost deck of the ship (the deck above the Captain's quarters). When Peter returns to fight Hook, it's at the main deck, which is nowhere near where Rufio died.

Hook (1991)

Corrected entry: It is known that Peter Pan's shadow is just him; it acts on his own. When grown up Peter is reminiscing about first meeting Wendy, he pulls his shadow's feet on the wall in the nursery (trying to get it back). But when you look to the bottom right of the screen, you can see young Peter's real shadow.

Correction: Objects (and people) can cast multiple shadows, depending on the number and intensity of the light sources.

Hook (1991)

Correction: Peter's hands are tied when he falls into the water, but they are untied (and remain so) sometime after the first mermaid kisses him. He might have freed himself or the pirates may have tied a shoddy knot. But at no point are his hands tied again once they've been freed.

Hook (1991)

Corrected entry: Tinkerbell throws pixie dust at Peter when she is holding onto Peter's bowtie trying to get him to fly to Neverland. Peter starts to sneeze when she does this. Look closely: he begins to sneeze a little before she throws it on him.

Correction: He doesn't begin to sneeze, he closes his eyes because she's thrown pixie dust at his face.
