Predator 2 picture

Other mistake: In the slaughterhouse scene, after Harrigan has injured the Predator with his shotgun and Keyes reappears, the Predator throws its disc, and severs Keyes in half at the waist. We see his legs flop to the ground, and blood pour from above, but his upper half (torso, backpack and weaponry) mysteriously remain hovering out of sight. (According to the director, the MPAA made him cut the footage of the top half of his body hitting the ground because it was too gory, creating this odd error). (01:21:50)

Suggested correction: We don't actually know if the disc completely cuts Keyes in half (or just passes through him and leaves a gaping hole). You see the blood, but the movie is edited so that it cuts back to Harrigan looking on in horror for a split-second, then back to Keyes' body on the floor (mostly obscured by a cement pillar).

They blatantly show his legs hitting the ground without the top half! I can only assume you watched an edited-for-TV version or something. It's VERY clear in the movie that he was cut in half. (In actuality, the scene was the victim of the MPAA according to the director... they had to cut the bit where the top half of his body hit the ground because it was too gory... creating this odd movie mistake).

Darkman picture

Other mistake: At the carnival, you can see an African-American man staring at the camera for a while. I am unsure if he is a crew-member watching over the scene, or if he is just an extra trying to get onscreen.

Suggested correction: He isn't staring at the camera. He's glancing over at Peyton and Julie as they are joyously dancing upon exiting the ferris wheel.

Child's Play 2 picture

Other mistake: No warehouse would stack their products in a labyrinthial way. They would be stacked in rows. (01:05:30)

Arachnophobia picture

Other mistake: Irv and Blaire's death scene doesn't make sense. When Irv poured butter on the popcorn, he should've noticed the spider in the bowl. Also, when Blaire picked the spider up, she should've felt it. Both of them still appeared to be watching the TV after being bitten, which also didn't make sense. Why didn't they have seizures like the other victims?

The Final Sacrifice picture

Other mistake: In the scenes that take place in populated areas, there are never any people seen anywhere in the streets. Not even during the "high-speed chase" (where the thugs' car does not quite manage to catch up with Troy on his ten-speed bike) in the town do you see anybody.

The Witches picture

Other mistake: Before the Grand High Witch starts the meeting, Luke is watching the witches sit down, and he doesn't recognize the Woman in Black. This doesn't make sense because the Woman in Black attempted to kill him during the treehouse scene before any of them arrived at the hotel. The Woman in Black is even the first witch who tries to capture him when he runs on the stage.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch picture Gremlins 2: The New Batch mistake picture

Other mistake: Gizmo can't be exposed to sunlight, yet when the shop is demolished he walks out on the street. Note how he is walking past the shady part of the curb to the sunny part, suffering no harm whatsoever.

Graveyard Shift picture

Other mistake: The hole that the guy got his arm torn off in was too small to fit into, despite the monster being on the other side. A few moments later, he's pulled in. If the opening was too small, the body would be crushed and blood would spray everywhere, but you see none.

Tremors picture

Other mistake: Once Earl stops the CAT at Burt and Heather's house, Val is standing on its roof directly above Earl. Val is looking and talking straight at them. The graboids shake the CAT, Earl drives it forward quite a bit (take notice just how far), but he looks up to tell Burt to hurry but he and Val are still facing in the same direction. They should be facing backward due to the distance they had to move up. Also, you'll notice that Burt is right in line with the trailer as he throws most of his gear. (01:14:30 - 01:15:30)
