Jane Eyre picture

Other mistake: In the scene of the fire at Thornfield (when Jane saves Rochester), the fire is burning unbelievably slow. In the time it takes Jane to wake Rochester, and Rochester to stop the fire, the whole room especially the bed should've been engulfed by fire. It would also be impossible for Rochester to pull the curtains from the bed and put the fire out the way he did.

Sharpe's Regiment picture

Factual error: Following their re-equipping at the South Essex depot, Sharpe marches his battalion across the bridge towards London. However, every non-commissioned officer is aware that troops don't march across a bridge. They break step to avoid setting up harmonics that would collapse the structure.

The Stupids picture

Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Joan and the kids pile into the station wagon after Stanley is kidnapped, Joan tells the kids to hold on tight and puts the car into reverse. However, in the matter of seconds that have gone by, Joan hasn't even started the car, yet she was able to put it in reverse and drive off. Even if she had the skills to start it that fast, you would hear the car turn over. The car is never heard turning on.

Mother picture

Other mistake: In the beginning, Albert Brooks and Lisa Kudrow are eating dinner at a restaurant and Albert mentions his books, plural, but then he says book, singular. All the way he's said book, so what is it - books or book?
