Corrected entry: When Nicole Kidman's character finds out that Bette Midler's character has been turned into a Stepford Wife, Bette Midler puts her hand on a hot stove. Nothing happens to her hand, and she feels no pain. However, at the end when they destroy the microchips, Bette Midler's character goes back to normal, showing that she wasn't a robot, but affected by the chip. It is physically impossible for her not to burn her hand if she wasn't a robot when Nicole Kidman finds out she's a Stepford Wife. Also, if some of the Stepford Wives were robots and some just had microchips, then why would Faith Hill dance crazily as if she were a robot, and her boobs would get larger and smaller, but at the end of the movie she was only affected by a microchip, too?

Corrected entry: The exercising Stepford Wives manage to drop their poles neatly on the hard floor without bending over and without making a sound.
Correction: The DVD version of the film was edited so that the wives have enough time offscreen to do this. This mistake no longer applies.

The Stepford Wives (2004)
Corrected entry: When Christopher Walken dies, his head keeps appearing attached and away from his body several times during the shots.
Correction: Walken's head never reappears attached to his body. After Joanna knocks it off, Claire picks up the head and tries to reattach it, but fails and leaves the head approximately where it belongs. The next few shots show the head lying above the torso, but from that angle it's impossible to say that they are connected.

Correction: As has been corrected at least twice so far, the women ARE robots. Their human brains are transplanted into robot bodies and then equipped with programmed microchips. Mike is LYING during the presentation because this process is much more drastic than the microchip insertion alone and could turn potential customers off. When the microchips are fried the women's brains are freed of the programming, but they're still in robot bodies much like Mike himself.
