Corrected entry: In the chase in India, Bourne's car passes a street sign reading "Rua Emidio Garcia". Seems to be shot in Brazil or some other Portuguese speaking country.

The American President (1995)
Corrected entry: In the scene when President Shepherd walks into Lucy's room at the end of the movie, she informs him that Sydney Wade is in his bedroom. It is doubtful that the President's girlfriend would have been allowed to rummage through his private bedroom without his knowledge, and it is unlikely for safety reasons that 1)the president wouldn't be told about her presence by his staff members before his daughter and 2)she would be allowed to go on her hunt without the supervision of a secret service agent. No American President walks into his bedroom to find an unsupervised surprise guest looking through his drawers for a sweater. (01:32:50)
Correction: Wouldn't it be possible for the President to give standing orders that she was to have access to the living quarters, without escort?

North by Northwest (1959)
Corrected entry: The train is stopped to be boarded, but when the police are questioning Eva Marie Saint the window behind her is showing scenery rushing past, and there is a slight wobble in the camera to simulate train movement.
Correction: The train wouldn't be held on a siding, but would pick up the state police and then start again.

The Village (2004)
Corrected entry: When Ivy starts climbing the ivy near the end of the movie, what later proves to be a rather substantial and solid fence wobbles noticeably for some time.
Correction: It isn't the ivy that is shaking. It is a chain link or mesh fence and begins to shake when Ivy runs into it and then begins to climb it. When Ivy is standing by the side of the road, the mesh and the tall posts supporting it are visible. It is not a solid wall.

The Village (2004)
Corrected entry: No village of the actual 1890s was as self-sufficient as the one portrayed in the movie. Sure, the villagers in the movie produced a lot of things themselves, and surely brought a great deal of supplies and machinery, etc, with them, but it simply isn't possible to go as long as they did and never need anything whatsoever from the outside world (more manufactured things like nails, hammers, tools, etc; salt, which they had no way of making; iron for horseshoes and wagons and plows; etc.) It would be one thing if they had chosen to live like the Native Americans, who did live much more autonomously (though even they traded), but they use things that they neither could have made themselves nor that would have lasted them the whole time they live in the village without needing repair or replacement.
Correction: This certainly presents a problem for the village, but many things are possible which are not shown in the movie. The village and the Walker estate apparently are in some contact; the security officer played by MNS certainly knows and there are the people who dealt with the FAA. Why couldn't consumable materials and fuels be delivered near, but not directly to the village? The villagers who aren't aware of the truth need not know.

The Village (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the village people are eating together for the second time, if you look at the far table there is a boy on the left end wearing a red sweater. If red is the "bad color" and they have to bury anything red, why is the boy wearing red?
Correction: It is too close for comfort, but the sweater seems more orange, a little more "brick" color, rather than the bright cardinal red that is the "bad color".

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Corrected entry: At the very end, Aragorn is crowned king while still in Minas Tirith. He goes on to tell the people that 'we will re-build our land.' But why would he have to stay in Minas Tirith if he is actually heir to be king in Gondor? There would be no immediate need for him to do so.

Independence Day (1996)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Will Smith's character has approached Area 51 with the alien, he identifies himself as an officer of the Marine Corps; yet he is a fighter pilot.
Correction: The Marine Corps has a large air support force, and the pilots are commisioned officers.

The Village (2004)
Corrected entry: While Ivy's father is leading her to "the old shed which we must never use", he tells her a story about his father who, he says, was "shot in the head by a business partner". As there appear to be no guns anywhere in the village, how would she know what he meant? Similarly, when she is shown the "creature" costumes in the shed, she recognizes one as "those we don't speak of" as soon as she touches it. How could she, when she has never touched and certainly never seen one before?
Correction: We don't ever see a gun, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't there, nor would it have to be a gun that the father was shot with. In her lifetime, surely Ivy heard the creatures described, even down to the long claws, which she did feel in the shed. She even mentions the smell, which she might have recognized when she panicked on her front porch, before Lucius pulled her into the house.

Clash of the Titans (1981)
Corrected entry: When Perseus goes to get water for Pegasus, he uses the helmet that "makes its wearer invisible." If so, the water would have disappeared.
Correction: This is a magic helmet...it can make its wearer invisible, but the water not only wasn't wearing the helmet, but the helmet wouldn't have made something inanimate, non-living, and non-Greek-heroic invisible.

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)
Corrected entry: If you can't have pets in the trailer park why does Mr. Alfred have a cat?
Correction: Mr. Alfred owns the trailer park. He can have whatever animals he wants.

Correction: They were in Goa, which belonged to Portugal until 1961. Anything older than that would be in Portuguese.
