Corrected entry: The Auriga is a science vessel, but it is under military jurisdiction, run by soldiers specifically to control the aliens in the event of a breakout. When the aliens get loose, why do all the soldiers evacuate instead of fighting the aliens? As military personnel, they would have contingency plans in place for this sort of occurrence - US military strategists are ridiculously overprepared with worst-case scenarios that often have heavy costs involved, but mean that the military will never be so paralyzed that it just runs away. The Auriga should have a plan to fortify a single location or at least blow up the ship in the event of a mass breakout. (00:38:40)

Goldeneye (1995)
Corrected entry: When Xenia brings Bond to the statue yard, he asks "Janus is here?" to which Xenia replies "Yes". Listen when she says it...she suddenly loses the Russian accent and is talking in her normal voice.
Correction: Who's to say that isn't still her character's accent? One word articulated in a certain way isn't really enough to qualify as a mistake.

Predator 2 (1990)
Corrected entry: The Predator spear weapon prop was discovered missing and reported stolen shortly after filming of Predator 2 was completed. It was never recovered.
Correction: The spear weapon used in the Predator 2 Movie was not stolen, but was in fact misplaced. Missing shortly before filming was completed on site, it was later recovered by the props department, after having been misplaced during the packup/cleanup stage.

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: During the entire battle scene on the ladder, DeStephano is nowhere to be seen. Considering the fact that he has a gun, he could have helped out when the alien was attacking Christie, but instead he curiously disappears from the scene, until Call opens the door, and he is at the top of the ladder. (01:09:10 - 01:13:10)
Correction: He is not a nice person. He is more interested in getting away than in helping.
That'd be Ren you're referring to not DeStefeno. The original post is correct the correction beneath is wrong.
Correction: He didn't disappear from the scene. He went up earlier than Johner and he is just on the other side of the ladder so he can't get a shot. Johner however is on the same side as Christie and Vriess so he helps them out instead.

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: Why did the two aliens gang up and kill the third one to escape the holding cell? Later in the movie, it is established that these mutated aliens can apparently regurgitate their own acid blood as a weapon, so slaughtering the other alien wasn't really necessary; they all could've just vomited some acid on the glass or the floor and gotten free without dwindling their numbers.
Correction: It took a lot of acid blood to burn a hole in the floor, and vomitting produces little amounts - just enough to hurt an enemy. It's not really a mistake - the aliens did it the faster and more reliable way.

Goldfinger (1964)
Corrected entry: When Oddjob kills the girl by throwing the hat at her and breaking her neck, watch when Bond turns her over. Her closed eyes are flickering rapidly, showing that she seems to be having a hard time keeping them shut.
Correction: They could have been flickering in her final death throes. That can happen sometimes.

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: When the female scientist is showing Ripley pictures to see if she could identify them, there is a bad editing mistake. When the scientist shows Ripley the glove, she seems to silently mouth the words "Close....glove." This occurs before Ripley identifies the picture as "Hand", to which the scientist actually says "Close...glove." It seems that the shot was recycled and very poorly edited.
Correction: She isn't mouthing the words close... glove. She is mouthing Glove to hint to Ripley what to say.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Corrected entry: We learned in the first film that dogs react to Terminators. Hence, shouldn't Enrique's dogs and the dogs at the rest stop have been going nuts when he was there?
Correction: In the first scene shown there, as soon as Enrique and the rest come out of hiding, you CAN hear at least one dog barking continuously in the background. In most of the other scenes there in the desert, the Terminator is either out of sight (underground in the weapons bunker, underneath the truck), or the scenes take place after obviously quite some time has passed. Perhaps by then the dogs have had time enough to get used to his presence.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Corrected entry: After the battle in the hospital hallway, almost all of the unconscious orderlies and guards have disappeared when the camera angle changes from the perspective of the elevator facing the T-1000 running down the hallway.
Correction: No, actually, they haven't. The guard who was thrown through the window was tossed through the window of a door on the cross hallway, which isn't visible from the elevator. The female guard was likewise thrown down that same hallway. That leaves the black guard and the one with the mustache, both of whom are still lying near the wall around Silberman's feet; in fact, after the Terminator has split the T-1000's head open with the shotgun, you can see the black guard stirring and trying to get up.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: In the Oval Office at the end of the film, Professor Xavier uses his telepathy to freeze all the people in the room. When the shot switches to a front view of the X-Men, watch the frozen people in the background closely. They are all quite good at being perfectly still, except for a blonde woman who is blinking rapidly and breathing heavily.
Correction: He only freezes their consious minds. The unconsious part of the mind controls breathing, heartbeat, etc. Think about it. If nobody breathed while he froze everybody, they'd all be dead when they woke up.

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: When Gediman is rambling about the queen's new 'perfect mutation', he fails to realize how imperfect it actually is when compared to its normal state. Instead of cranking out hundreds of eggs in a short amount of time which can lead to a huge army being built in a matter of months, now the queen has to spend countless hours straining and suffering while trying to force out an awkward, bumbling monster that attacks her on sight. Hardly a situation that I would describe as 'perfect'.
Correction: Gediman obviously does not consider the relatively low birth-rate to be important, the mutation is perfect by his personal criteria. Others may disagree with his opinion, but it is (at most) an error on the part of the character, not a movie mistake.
9th Dec 2003
X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: Early in the movie when Logan is at the 'abandoned' military base, watch his hair and eye brows. The style of both changes significantly between the first shots and the later shots. This is because they had to film the later part of the scene towards the end of filming, when his appearance had been changed considerably, mostly because he was in the middle of shooting Van Helsing, which will be released in 2004.
Correction: Duplicated.

Correction: The commanding officer sounded the evacuation alarm. The soldiers were simply following orders. Perhaps after doing the damage assessment (which we do not see but you do see that at least 8 decks had been eaten through from the acid), he determined that he could not contain the threat fast enough so ordered the evacuation instead. Perhaps also he was planning on blowing up the ship afterwards, but died before he could give the order to do so.
