Tequila Sunrise picture

Corrected entry: In the scene in Mac's house after Cody gets hurt surfing, Mac reaches for some tequila. Joanne remarks that she thinks he's had enough to drink if he wants to be able to hear Cody if he needs anything from upstairs - but Mac had just finished his first shot when she said it.

Correction: Character decision. Joanne knows how much he can drink if he gets carried away, and wants him to have a clear head to talk to Cody.

Funny Farm picture

Corrected entry: When the movers finally arrive in Rosebud, the white mover has Andy's favorite top quality leather chair. He is mad and throws it in the lake. But then towards the end of the movie the chair is sitting in the writing room perfectly fine.

Correction: Later on in the movie after the chair has been thrown in the water, we see Andy (Chevy Chase) sit in the chair and water oozes out. The chair simply dried out over time.

D.O.A picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Dexter and Sydney are about to go to Nick Lang's funeral, Dexter gives his jacket to Sydney. At this time Dexter's hand is glued to Sydney's arm, so it's physically impossible for her to slip the jacket on. However, somehow between two shots she manages to put the jacket on without any difficulties.

Correction: The jacket is passed along from his arm to hers, and turned inside out in the process, hence its odd gold colour.

Corrected entry: During Crash's first at-bat with the Bulls he is batting left handed. In all of his other at-bats, including at the batting cages, he is batting right handed.

Correction: Switch-hitters do exist in professional baseball.

Akira picture

Corrected entry: Near the end, the satellite SOL shoots its first blast to Tetsuo and harms him very badly despite his great powers (he even loses his right arm). But Kaneda, who is only a couple of meters away from Tetsuo and has no special powers, manages to survive in perfect condition.

Correction: The blast was directly on Tetsuo, so Kaneda probably got lucky and was sheilded by flying debris from the actual "power" of the blast.
