The Green Mile (1999)

Corrected entry: When Percy is grabbed by John Coffey, he drops his nightstick during the struggle. You can plainly see the short thong on the handle as it hits the floor. When Percy turns to walk away however, the nightstick is dangling from his side.

Correction: No, there is a long strap hanging from Percy's waist and the nightstick is still laying on the floor outside Coffey's cell after Percy is tackled by the other guards.

The Green Mile (1999)

Corrected entry: At around 2 hours and 5 minutes into the film, Hanks has just come back from the place where the man was executed without a wet sponge. He looks up and notices the light is smashed, and all the lights are out. He walks up to one cage, then over to John (the magical healing man), and you can see in this shot, all the lights are now back on and not one is smashed.

Correction: The broken light fixture cannot be seen from John's cell. It is further up "the mile" from any vantage point to which you refer.

The Green Mile (1999)

Corrected entry: When John Coffey is first brought into the jail cell, he shakes Paul Edgecomb's hand. Look closely at the size of Paul's hand. It is a child's hand, to make John's hand seem much larger. But when John is in the electric chair, Paul reaches out to shake John's hand and it is now the size of a normal adult male.

Correction: There is no "child's hand" - it's Tom Hanks' hand but he keeps his fingers tight together and his hand rounded a bit to demonstrate the contrast to John's huge hand. This is discussed in the commentary. The size difference between the two scenes is also symbolic of the evolution of Paul Edgecomb: in the beginning, all he could see was a giant "monster" and in the end, they were both just men, saying goodbye with a handshake.

Up (2009)

Corrected entry: In the title scene where young Carl Fredricksen is running with his balloon in his hand and smashes at the tree, it's visible that the trees shadow is missing. Only young Carl has his shadow.

waseemisitu

Correction: The shadow cannot be seen by us from the angle shown. Look at the other shadows just before this point -- they are at about a "1:00" angle and we see the tree stump from about "7:00" so it would be hidden behind the stump.

Up (2009)

Corrected entry: After the house starts floating and reaches a good height, Mr.Carl Fredricksen sits on his chair. At that time he places his walking stick to his left hand and in the next-to-next shot, you can hear Russell knocking from outside the house. When he (Russell) knocks the second time, Mr. Carl Fredricksen goes and opens the door: that time you can find the stick in his right hand. It is also noticed in the previous shot that when he peeps through the door's hole, the right hand is animated as if it has the walking stick in hand.

waseemisitu

Correction: Carl needs to switch the walker to his right hand to open the left-hinged door. He has plenty of time to do this between rising from the chair and arriving at the door.

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

Corrected entry: One of my favorite parts in the movie: When you first see Roz, she is reading "The Glob." Look closely at the headlines - they are hilarious. For example, "Baby Born With Five Heads - Parents Thrilled".

Correction: How is this trivia? It's just a funny part of the movie.

Twilight (2008)

Corrected entry: During the prom scene, when Edward and Bella are walking in, it shows Victoria playing a game before it shows her watching Edward and Bella dancing outside in the promenade. She's got the same hair, fur shawl, dress, and necklace as she does when she's watching them dance.

Correction: How is this a mistake? She arrived before them, awaiting their arrival.

Twilight (2008)

Corrected entry: In the baseball scene, when Edward and Emmett run towards each other to catch the ball, Emmett very obviously jumps on a trampoline just before he and Edward collide.

Correction: Unless you can see a trampoline (which you can't), this isn't a mistake. The vampires in these stories are different than any others and most significantly, they move like no other, including jumping and moving forward with amazing speed.

MovieFan612

Corrected entry: In the scene right before the carnivorous plant scene, Ellie says, "Hold on". The camera then switches to Manny, and you can see Crash, Eddie, and Diego walking in the background. However, if you look to the right of Diego, you can also see Buck, even though he hadn't joined the group yet. He then disappears from them until the time he's supposed to appear. Perhaps maybe he was originally going to join the herd in his first appearance?

Correction: Buck was shadowing the group the entire time they were in the dinosaurs' land, as he points out later on.

Knowing (2009)

Corrected entry: This could be a mistake but its so complex I have marked it as 'Trivia'. The alien or "being" race talks to the little girl and gives her the dates of people's deaths, including her future daughter's death. The daughter is killed in a car crash chasing down her children who where kidnapped by the very aliens or "beings" that sent the message in the first place. In conclusion it's strange that these "beings" should make this poor women aware of her own death but be entirely responsible for putting her in that position in the first place knowing that she would die that day.

Correction: You're attaching sentimentality and/or human emotions to the alien race that aren't necessarily present. This alien race is looking toward the greater good -- to have the boy and girl ultimately responsible for creating a new race.

Twilight (2008)

Corrected entry: When Bella is in the hospital (after her encounter with James) her mother comes in and explains what happened. She says that Bella had fallen down two flights of stairs and went through a window, which explains all of her concussions except for the bite mark on her arm. You can tell that people knew that there was a bite mark on her arm because it was all bandaged up.

belin

Correction: Bella's mother was informed of a fictional account of what happened to Bella. Having a bandage on her arm doesn't interfere or contradict the story that she fell down the stairs.

The Green Mile (1999)

Corrected entry: They needed to keep the mercy mission silent, so Percy was locked up and Wild Bill was drugged in his cell. So what became of the prisoner who was very rude to the warders about Mae West? He wasn't executed in the film and seems to have just vanished from his cell. Only two prisoners were executed.

Correction: Toot was Trustee, a minimum security lifer/prisoner who had privileges no other inmate had. He sold notions (i.e. the moonpie he sold to Wild Bill) and assisted with execution practice. He wasn't a resident of the Green Mile and there is no plot hole.

Gran Torino (2008)

Correction: There is no boom pole/mic visible in this scene, anywhere. I watched it forwards and backwards and the only thing you could possibly be mistaking for a boom pole/mic is a flagpole mount on the wooden pillar.

Gran Torino (2008)

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, a green Ford Taurus follows the action. When Walt is at home the Taurus sits a few houses down, then when Walt is saving Sue, the car is there one second, then gone the next.

Correction: This is a mistake how? Walt's neighbor has a dark colored sedan parked in front of his house. So? There is a dark colored sedan (a Taurus, if you say so) down the block when Sue is being hassled by the men. But the camera angle only shows the car once and we never get that vantage point again, so it can't be "there one second, gone the next."

Gran Torino (2008)

Corrected entry: As the family drives away at the beginning in the "foreign car," you can see the crew reflected in the name plate and various other parts of the vehicle as it drives away from the camera.

manthabeat

Correction: The only thing reflected in the "name plate" [the chrome bar across the back of the vehicle] is a distorted reflection of the street behind the vehicle - houses, trees, cars. There are no camera equipment or crew members; if you try really hard, you can see Clint's profile, as he bends over the engine of the vehicle he's working on.

Gran Torino (2008)

Corrected entry: Once again another corrector submits a correction on where the 1972 Torino was built, and tells us to get it right once and for all. Yes, lets. The website submitted by the corrector is for a 1971 Torino, the wrong year of the car in the movie. The 'Gran' part of Gran Torino didn't start until 1972. The website given also doesn't specify which models were built at which factory. In 1972, the Dearborn factory where the corrector suggests Walt may have worked was building Mustangs. The fact remains the Gran Torino 2-door fastback was built only in Lorain, OH. Clint Eastwood is a fine filmmaker, but as seen by other entries, there are still mistakes in the movie, which is the whole purpose of moviemistakes.com.

rswarrior

Correction: What sources are you relying upon? Opinions and supposition aren't facts. Again, this is a vital piece of information and the very basis for the film. The location of the manufacturing plant is no mistake. Without FACTS to support the opinions submitted here, THERE CAN BE NO MISTAKE.

Gran Torino (2008)

Corrected entry: Walt says he worked at the factory where his Gran Torino was built, and in fact installed the steering column on it. The Gran Torino factory was in Ohio, at least two hours from Detroit, and Walt had been a long time resident of the Detroit neighborhood he lives in, as he stated he had seen its demise and an influx of immigrants. With other Ford factories being much closer, it's not likely he would commute that far. There's a correction stating that the Torino was built in more than one factory, but that's wrong. The two door Gran Torino in 1972 was only built in Lorain, OH, much like the Neon was only built in Belvidere, IL, Corvettes are built only in Bowling Green, KY, and Camaros, for the last 2 generations were built in Canada. Not all Ford factories are equipped or tooled to make all models. It's much more likely Walt would have built his pickup truck at a Detroit factory over the Torino.

rswarrior

Correction: Let's get this correct, once and for all. The Gran Torino was assembled in many plants, including DEARBORN, MI - about 20 miles from Detroit, see here: http://grantorinosport.org/71torino06.htm. There is NO factual error re: this aspect of the movie. And let's don't forget, Clint Eastwood is a fine filmmaker, and because this is such a significant fact to consider - placing his protagonist in a location where he's lived his entire life and where his assembling of his very own 1971 Gran Torino is one of the most important aspects of the entire movie - you can be sure he got it right.

MovieFan612

Corrected entry: In the first Ice Age, the mammoth, sloth, and tiger returned a human child to its parents. But in this movie, there were dinosaurs when dinosaurs were extinct, before Eskimos.

belin

Correction: The whole point was that the dinosaurs were in another, parallel existence. It requires a stretch of the imagination, much like talking animals, but it's not a plot hole.

Knowing (2009)

Corrected entry: When John is getting out of his car right before the plane crash, he leaves the sheet with the numbers on it in the car and he never returns to get them, but later he has them again.

doveman26

Correction: Of course he returns to get them, he drives his car home.

Gran Torino (2008)

Corrected entry: In the barber shop while Thao enters the building to try talking like a man, you can see an actual county sheriff van drive past on the street. It has the seal on the door that all sheriff departments use in the state of Michigan.

Correction: How is this a mistake? The movie is set in Detroit, Michigan.
