Collateral (2004)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Ruffalo, McGill, and Berg are walking out of the surveillance warehouse to their cars, Berg is caught staring at the camera for a noticeably long period of time. (01:13:10)

Correction: This sort of mistake is generally disallowed, for the fact that when looking towards the camera it is regarded as a "fourth wall" in movies. In many cases characters will look right at the camera to give the perception that it is showing the view from another character's view.

Collateral (2004)

Corrected entry: When the train leaves, you can see Tom in the window in the front of the second car. Before that they had a huge shoot out, yet the engineer one car forward is unable to hear the shoot out and completes his stops with 30 bullets and a dead guy, not to mention the passengers who didn't seem to care.

Correction: In actuality the gun fight is only about 4-5 shots each person. In the film it is very quick and then its over. Being in a closed booth the sound would have been reduced significantly. The engineer could have assumed (with not seeing the incident as well) it was just a ruckus or something on the tracks as it was so quick. There are a number of loud noises being on a train so might have just assumed it was a loud noise. With regards to the passengers that we see, Tom and Jamie pass the only remaining passengers before the stop where Tom holds his gun out the door to stop Jamie Foxx. In that stop the passengers behind would have likely exited the other cars to avoid any trouble as they had seen the guns being carried.

Correction: When Max and Annie leave the train, the time shows Sunday morning after 5am. Guess that's when they filmed the scene.
