Corrected entry: When Indy escapes on the rocket powered cart, it is slowed down by a lot of sand on the tracks, but in the next shot, all the sand has disappeared.

The Out of Towners (1999)
Corrected entry: How come when the robbers are making their getaway, Goldie Hawn & Steve Martin jump out without the robbers stopping to pick them up again? Surely they wouldn't risk the hostages telling the police and identifying them.
Correction: Steve Martin grabs the gun out of the robber's hand and the taxi is then pulled over to the side of the road to let them get out. (The gun is dropped on the floor of the taxi as they get out, but the robbers don't know that.)

The Great Escape (1963)
Corrected entry: After the Great Escape, Hilts is the ONLY prisoner out of 26 brought back to the camp who is sent to the Cooler.
Correction: There were not 26 escapers brought back to the camp. That is the number of escapees that were not shot; 8 were sent to other camps instead of being returned to Sagan and another 3 made it to England. Only 15 of the escapees were returned to Sagan. In the context of the film (as Hilts is not based on a real person) maybe he was sent to the cooler for his antics while on the run (assaulting German troops etc.) and not for the escape itself.

Bad Boys (1995)
Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are in a Porsche catching the bad guy. The whole time Martin Lawrence is driving, BOTH hands are on the steering wheel. Now most of us know that Porsches have a manual transmission, so shouldn't Martin Lawrence be switching gears during the chase?
Correction: Hopefully someone else can confirm, but it appears that from around 1995 onwards some Porsche models came with an optional 'tiptronic' automatic transmission.
