Corrected entry: When the grown up kid go back to the town one of the men sees It the clown digging graves. All the graves had crosses above them. he asks the man to pick one, except the one on the end which had Stan in it. But Stan was Jewish so shouldn't he have the Jewish star above his grave?

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: After Ripley kills the first alien, Wren tells them that there are twelve more. Now, compare how may aliens there are. Altogether there are thirteen aliens. Take away the queen and all the other aliens that were killed (with the exception of the Newborn) and you have 8. But when Ripley is taken through the floor, I saw eight. You can see the head very briefly as it zooms in. Shouldn't there only be seven drones?
Correction: When Ripley falls through the floor, its just a mass of hive gunk. There are many strange formations in the hive resin itself that look like aliens, but are not actually aliens. Think back to the second film when the marines couldn't spot a single alien, since they were all blended in with the hive. It is purposely created that way so that the creatures can blend into it. And besides, there don't appear to be more than 3 or 4 aliens there anyway, other than the one alien that is dragging Ripley down into the hive.

Beetlejuice (1988)
Corrected entry: As ghosts, Adam and Barbara cannot be seen by the people they're trying to scare out of the house. Yet, at Juno's office, they propose making scary faces, and she approves. How would this help?
Correction: It didn't help earlier because they did not know and did not beleive that there were ghosts in the house, but now that they DO beleive that the ghosts are there, they actually can see them. Also, Otho got a hold of the handbook, which is enough proof of the existence of the ghosts to enable them to see the ghosts.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: At one point in a shaft L.L. Cool J's character throws down a rope to save a few of the characters from the fast rising water. The shot shows them pull back the rope and shut the door. A few scenes later, the rope is hanging down the shaft again. (01:08:25 - 01:12:05)
Correction: It's hanging out again because they had to go back into the lab to access the generator. They put the rope back so that they could climb out of the shaft, otherwise they'd be stuck.
Correction: It shows a flash of the rope still hanging there, before they've even decided to go to the generator.

It (1990)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Ben is happily walking to the library after school and repeating "Beverly Marsh, Beverly Marsh", we see Henry Bowers, Victor Criss, and Belch Huggins leaning against a rail waiting for Ben...wasn't Henry supposed to stay an hour after school for making fun of Ben during class when Ben was introducing himself? Surely Ben wasn't standing there gaping at those snobs making fun of Beverly's dad for an hour?
Correction: It should be obvious at this point that Henry and his gang are a bunch of punk juvenile delinquents...I doubt Henry would've voluntarily stayed after school for detention.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film when Carter is being dragged along by the shark, the shark rams into a wire fence. You can see that half of Carter is dragged through the hole in the fence. When you see the underwater shot of the shark exploding, Carter is to the left of the whole and is within the compound. When Preach calls out to him, he is outside the compund. How did he move so fast? (01:35:40)
Correction: The force of the shark exploding blew him around underwater.

Godzilla (1998)
Corrected entry: Godzilla can bite an armored helicopter in half with one chomp, but apparently cannot handle a taxicab that is in his mouth.
Correction: He also had a huge chunk of the bridge's concrete in his mouth too...difficult to bite through even for him.

Aliens (1986)
Corrected entry: In the director's cut, the marines had salvaged four robot autocannons with motion-targeting systems, two of which are placed in the access tunnel to the power plant. Right before they close the hatch, Hudson and Vasquez throw in a waste bin to test them; it is shot to pieces. Later, however, these autocannons still have their full ammo load, as seen on the computer counters.
Correction: By the time that we actually see the ammo counters, we already hear the guns going off, so there's no real way of telling how much ammo was already spent, since we don't see the count down for those two guns start off at 400.

Alien 3 (1992)
Corrected entry: Something to note about the "dog" alien. Not only does it run around on all fours, and as Ripley says "it's different then the others", in one scene it does in fact act like an adolescent dog. I'm not trying to be vulgar or anything like that, but in the scene where they are leading the alien around, it has killed someone. It looks like it's eating that person, but what it's really doing is gyrating...it has mounted the person the same way a young dog will mount a pillow and "go to town."
Correction: That's not true at all. The alien is eating and ripping at the prisoner. You can see that it's tearing at the prisoner, since the body is flailing as if being mangled. It also isn't remotely close enough to be grinding against the dead body, and a 'making of' feature on the film even states that they had to use the model puppet and add it into the film later to simulate the alien 'eating and tearing at its meal'. The Alien may take on certain characteristics of its prey, but NOT such behaviors.

Alien 3 (1992)
Corrected entry: When the prisoners are being chased by the alien in the corridors, it is seen that it runs much faster than the prisoners, yet can't catch them. Sometimes the alien is shown right behind them but when it switches to the alien's sight, you can see it is further away.
Correction: The Alien also has to navigate a number of bumps and holes and protruding parts of the ceiling, which slow it down considerably. It also has a 'fisheye' type of view, in that it sees things in front of it in a stretched, sort of 'in the fishbowl' manner.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: When John is talking to Catherine when they are switching vehicles, she is sitting in the passenger seat crying. You can see her tears rolling down her face. The camera angle changes to John and then back to her again and her face is completely dry.
Correction: This isn't really true. Tears often seem to disappear after they have rolled down someone's face. This is especially prevalent with Claire Daines, as this is not the only time in the movie, or the only movie in fact, where it appears that her face is dry. Tears typically tend to seem like they've disappeared once they dry on someone's face, but they're still there.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: In the shot where the guard is holding the tray at the metal detector to take it to Magneto the drink in the glass is brown, but when he is walking up the tunnel the drink is green.
Correction: A simple lighting situation. Not a mistake, just the appearence of the drink altered by the intensity of the light in the scene. Brown and Green are often confused when situations like this occur.
2nd Dec 2003
Signs (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene when the whole family is in the closet watching the invasion on TV, the TV is shown, and there are no reflections of the family, even though they are sitting and standing right in front of it. (01:07:45)
Correction: You are being shown the actual footage, not seeing it from the perspective of being in the room, which would have shown their reflections on the TV.
27th Aug 2001
Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: When the Betty crew and Ripley are swimming through the cafeteria and open up that hole which leads to a room with a lot of eggs. You can see a face hugger jumps on Ripley and she goes under the water and yanks the thing off. If you watch closely, you can see the tail that the face hugger uses to choke you with rips off - wouldn't acid blood come out of it? Someone said that in Aliens, Bishop does an Autopsy on one of the facehuggers and determines that the blood oxidises on reaction with oxygen in the air to produce the "acid" - as the above instance happens this reaction won't take place. However, this is wrong - the point of what he says is that oxidising neutralises the acid, it doesn't create it.
Correction: Ripley rips the tail off while she is underwater, which would have somewhat neutralized the acid. Plus, considering that Ripley's own blood has acidic properties, her skin is probably resistant enough to the alien blood to not cause her any damage.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
Corrected entry: In the scene at the Docks, Dan Marino calls Ace over to let him know about Mr. Happy tucked in Lt. Einhorn's panties, but when Ace reveals this to everyone, Marino spits and reacts like he has just noticed it. (01:14:45)
Correction: Marino pointed out the fact that something was noticeably sticking out of Einhorn's panties, but when Ace pointed out what it actually was, he had the same reaction as everyone else because he probably didn't believe Ace's accusation either.

Gladiator (2000)
Corrected entry: In ancient times busts of philosophers or emperors were coloured to look lifelike. The busts you find in Marcus Aurelius's tent are all blank.
Correction: Not true. Many busts remained the color of the material from which they were chiseled from (mostly marble). It was up to the artist or at the request of the person for whom the bust is being made whether or not color will be added to it. Plus, there is no telling how old or new those busts were. Perhaps Marcus Aurelius preferred them to be colorless, or they had not yet been colored.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: It seems a bit strange that the T-850 arrives from the future with no battle damage. Later in the film we learn that that terminator hunted down and killed John Connor in the future, and then was captured and reprogrammed by Claire Danes. If Connor was the leader of the human resistance then he would be heavily guarded and the terminator would have sustained at least some minor damage trying to find/kill him and i doubt that tech-com would own a flesh regenerator to fix him all up before sending him to the past.
Correction: In Terminator 2, when Sarah Connor is pulling the slugs out of the Terminator's back, she asks 'Will these heal up?' to which the Terminator replies 'Yes'. It's probable to assume that if they did do any damage to it, they waited for the flesh to heal. There is no real indication of how much time passed between Connor's assassination and the T-850's reprogramming. They also could have captured it, or used EMP's to temporarily disable it while they reprogrammed it.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: When Catherine is talking to her dad who is dying she starts crying, but when the camera switches back to her from her dad there are no tears, her face is completely dry.
Correction: This isn't really true. Tears often seem to disappear after they have rolled down someone's face. This is especially prevalent with Claire Daines, as this is not the only time in the movie, or the only movie in fact, where it appears that her face is dry. Tears typically tend to seem like they've disappeared once they dry on someone's face, but they're still there.

Blade II (2002)
Corrected entry: In one scene Whistler has a thermal scope on a rifle and looks at Blade walking with a group of vampires. Blade is red (warm) and the other vampires are blue (cool). Later Whistler is walking in the tunnels with two vampires from the earlier group that were blue in the scope. They give him a night vision headset so he can "see in the dark". When he looks at the vampires with the night vision they are both red (warm). (00:35:43)
Correction: The device that they give Whistler is a set of 'Bi-Focals', and are different from standard Thermal Goggles. The Bi-Focals, as the name suggests, allow the user to see in two spectrums. Organisms that produce body heat or other natural thermal heat source, even at such a low temperature as a vampire (about 50 degrees Fahrenheit), would emit a red/yellow glow, where the surrounding environment would by blackened or blued out. The Reapers, as suggested by earlier scenes in the movie, have much higher temperatures than vampires, and they appeared as the same color on the bi-focals as the vampires did. The scene earlier in the film, where Whistler was backing up Blade and the Bloodpack was use of thermals, but the sewer scene was different.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: The hearse glove box lock is missing on one interior shot, but is there again in another shot.
Correction: Unlikely. Only one stunt car was used for the scene and the glove box was intact the entire time. It could've bounced open, or more likely it just wasn't able to be seen during the shot, considering how much chaos ensued during the hearse chase.

Correction: There is only one grave with a cross above it, and that was Stan's. I don't think Pennywise would've cared what religion Stan was...he was just driving the point home that Stan was dead.
