Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives picture

Other mistake: In the final scene of the movie, Megan starts a boat motor and uses the propeller to hit Jason in the face, who has been chained down underwater. But if Jason can only barely reach her foot from underwater, there's no way the boat propeller is underwater far enough to reach his face. (01:17:50)

Suggested correction: The boat was driven a good ways, it's not like they were shallow and then all of a sudden deep. They were deep for a little bit. I mean not so deep like the ocean, but it was a good enough ways for someone to drown. Megan is tall for a girl and Jason is a big guy and the propeller is right at his head/neck.

You are very much mistaken. The boat propeller is too high to reach Jason's face.

Aliens picture

Other mistake: When the autoguns fire at the aliens for the second time, there is a flashcut of an alien being blasted apart. Watch closely; it's the same clip of the alien that Vasquez shot and subsequently sprayed Drake with acid. (01:18:00)

The Hitcher picture

Other mistake: The Hitcher reverses his pick-up truck out of the gas station after he drops the lighted match. His wheels, wheel arches and perhaps the underside of the truck would have been soaked in petrol as he drove over the gushing pumps. So as he was burning rubber during this manoeuvre - this would have ignited the petrol on his truck.

Cobra picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Stallone is at the shooting range, after he leaves the morgue, when he pulls out his gun, you can see a target's reflection in a glass pane in front of Stallone. He points the gun at the target and shoots, but the glass is in the way.

Suggested correction: There's no glass in front of him. The glass you're referring to is part of the partitions on the sides. You can see the first one when he and Gonzales walk in and Gonzales is asking what they can do. The reflection is in the 2nd partition that is to Cobra's left. The camera angle just makes it look like it could be in front of him.

F/X (1986)

F/X picture

Other mistake: After finding that he has run over a dummy and not a live person, the officer doesn't resume the car chase even though Roland's panel truck is shown driving only about one block ahead of him with no traffic in between. For those of you who don't know, panel trucks have the get-up-and-go of an arthritic turtle. (01:21:00)

Night of the Creeps picture

Other mistake: There is a scene at the beginning of the movie where the two main male leads are walking near a frat house having a party. The shot with the error starts on a frat banner and then pans down and across to the female lead (Jill Whitlow) and stops with her in the center of the screen. At this point, her legs are transparent.

Jumping Jack Flash picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Terry is at the computer, and Jim Belushi's character surprises her while pretending to be a Sperry repairman, they keep turning the monitor on and off. But the last time you hear a beep, which is supposed to be Terry turning off the monitor, her hand is nowhere near where the button would be. They obviously added the sound effect later.
