Seed of Chucky picture

Corrected entry: At the start of the movie just before Glen attacks the girl in the shower, if you look through the shower curtain you can see the girl is wearing a black g-string.

Correction: Actually, in the DVD commentary they state that she was nude. Any dark areas you see are either shadows or hair.

Mean Girls picture

Corrected entry: When Karen is explaining to Cady how her breasts can tell when it's going to rain, you see a shot of both of them and Cady is beginning to smile/laugh, but then it cuts to just Cady and she has a straight face again.

Correction: In this scene, Cady is trying to take Karen seriously to gain her trust. She could have found Karen's idiotic "breasts can tell the weather" revelation amusing, and smiled, but then quickly made herself stop smiling before Karen noticed whilst the camera was on Karen.

Fat Albert picture

Corrected entry: When the whole gang is at the party and Albert and the rest start dancing, we hear "Hey, hey, hey" being repeated, however sometimes Albert's mouth doesn't move, even though he is the one who is singing it.

Correction: You don't exactly have to move your mouth to say "hey hey hey". I've tried it, the only visible thing you need to do is keep your mouth open.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban picture

Corrected entry: When Neville has the Boggart explained to him, he switches positions between shots. (00:40:10)

Correction: Because of the camera angles there is NO way to tell if he change position whatsoever. He is standing perfectly still.

The Grudge picture

Corrected entry: During the scene when Yoko is attacked by the dead person in the attic, you can see a crew member laying on the floor in the background.

Correction: Where? I've watched this sceen three times, and I can't find it. You might be confused with Yoko herself, but maybe you should resubmit this and be a little more specific.

Shrek 2 picture

Corrected entry: The hook handed man's voice changes between the two times he is playing the piano in the Poison Apple, due to the two different singers used to voice him. (00:26:35 - 00:58:05)

Correction: The 'hook handed man" is Captain Hook (from Peter Pan) and he is singing two very disparate pieces of music, the first very bluesy and calling for a gravelly voice and the second, a solemn piece. I know many people who sing differently depending upon the piece.

The Incredibles picture

Corrected entry: When Helen is vacuuming the hallway, and goes into Bob's office, the vacuum cord is coming from the far side of the washer and dryer. But when the camera moves inside the office, the cord is coming in the door from the right, which is the opposite direction. (00:48:55)

Correction: I just watched this scene. The cord does snake by the washer/dryer but the rest of the cord is coming from the left of the screen(where it is plugged in),as if Helen had backtracked when vacuuming. Look closely and you'll see the rest of the cord. It is in the correct location when Helen enters Bob's office.

Meet the Fockers picture

Corrected entry: In the scene in which a big deal is made that the baby's "first word" is an obscenity. This isn't his first word, though. Much earlier in the movie when the housekeeper, Isabelle, appears during the fondue dinner the baby says "mama" while reaching for her breasts. Everyone around the table is watching the baby as he does this, but all fail to notice that he spoke.

Correction: Actually, the syllables Ma, Aa, Da, Pa, Ca and one or two others are the first a baby learns. As a result, the word mama is not counted as a babies first word, because he or she may not be referring to their mother. Similarly, if the baby had said dada or papa it wouldn't really be their first word. Jack, being a childcare fanatic, would know this. See http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babydevelopment/6573.html and look at 4-6 months.

Miracle picture

Corrected entry: When the US is playing the West German team in the Olympics, up on the score board the initials "GDR" are shown. The initials "GDR" stood for "German Democratic Republic," which was East Germany at the time. The initials for West Germany were "FRG" for "Federal Republic of Germany".

Correction: During the actual game at the Olympics, the scorekeeper made this mistake, therefore Disney was only recounting the error in the movie, and not actually making the mistake themselves. This is similar to the real mistake Walter Kronkite made, that was repeated in the film, Apollo 13.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story picture

Corrected entry: In the scene when the Average Joes play against the Girl Scouts, the girl Peter hits should have been out, but the referee didn't say anything.

Correction: The ref missed it. A lot of games have missed or incorrect calls by refs.

Catwoman picture

Corrected entry: When Patience is walking home from the Hedare mansion, she is carrying her only costume in a bag. She gets arrested when entering her apartment. When she escapes prison, she's wearing the costume. They would have held it as evidence. At the very least, the police would still have it with whatever things she had on her when she was arrested.

Bulldozer

Correction: She doesn't have the bag when she enters her appartment, thus it wouldn't have been taken by the cop when she was arrested. It's possible that she hid it before enterting the apartment, and thus was able to retrieve it later after she escaped.

Jersey Girl picture

Corrected entry: When Ollie shows up at his daughter's recital, he takes over the part of Sweeney Todd, which his father was going to play. Pop then becomes his next "victim". Since Ollie was not supposed to be there, who would have been the "victim" to Pop's Sweeney Todd?

Correction: They could have gotten someone else to do it that we don't see and they obviously wouldn't play the victem when Ollie shows up and Pop becomes the victim.

Alien Vs. Predator picture

Corrected entry: When all the doors close inside the pyramid, the woman inside the sacrificial chamber tries to put a wedge under the door. There is one box by the door and one next to the wall by the door. Just after the door crushes the box, she moves back, and the box by the wall has vanished, then reappears. ( Slo-Mo maybe required ). (00:40:35)

The-Immortal

Correction: I watched it in slo-mo and as far as I can tell the box is in every shot, except for one where it simply is out of camera angle.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle picture

Corrected entry: When the girl in pink in the bathroom scene is pulling all the toilet paper off the roll, right before the shot cuts away, you can see she runs out of paper but still continues to make the pulling motion, as if there is more. It's only for a second, but noticeable.

Correction: I went through this scene several times, and at no point does the toilet-paper run out. Hence, her still acting as if she is pulling it is not a mistake, because she IS still pulling it. They even mention in the commentary that they cut before she ran out of TP, to maximize the joke of her using so much.

King Arthur picture

Corrected entry: Fifth century Saxons never had crossbows, they weren't introduced anywhere in Europe until they came from Asia around the 11th/12th centuries.

Correction: Crossbows were used by the Romans in the 5th century AD. See http://science.howstuffworks.com/crossbow.htm. There's also evidence to suggest that the Romans were using them as early as the 1st century AD. In any case, the Romans did have trade ties to China so it's not inconceiveable that the design would have been copied. Crossbows (known as gastrophetes) were also used by the ancient Greeks as early as the 5th century BC. See http://www.answers.com/topic/crossbow. So while the modern design of the crossbow may not have appeared until the 12th century, the weapon itself was very well-known to ancient Europe.

The Stepford Wives picture

Corrected entry: Why was there an exact duplicate of Joanne lying on the table? According to "Mike," all that happened to the Stepford Wives were that little microchips were installed in their brains; there is nothing Body Snatchers-related going on.

redbaron2000

Correction: The women are robots. Their human brains are equipped with the Stepford microchips, then the brains are transplanted into a replica robot body. How else do you think the wives are immune to being burnt or can produce money from their mouth? "Mike" was obviously keeping the body-switching a secret.

Without a Paddle picture

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the film, there is a scene showing Jerry surfing. When he gets up on the board to ride the wave, you see a scuba diver directly behind him holding the board.

Correction: It is stated in the commentary for this movie that no one was holding Matthew Lillard's surf board, though he was being towed by a boat.

Blade: Trinity picture

Corrected entry: When Blade and Abigail find the Blood Farm, they discuss it with the officer and Blade gives the officer 20 seconds to run away. He counts to 20, the officer runs, and Blade shoots him in the back. He dies near the door. After destroying the Blood Farm by shutting down the computer, Abigail and Blade leave the Blood farm through the same door, but the corpse of the officer is no longer there.

Correction: We only see the Chief get shot and fall to the ground. It's quite possible that he didn't die immediately and managed to make it some distace away from the blood farm.

Hellboy picture

Corrected entry: At the start when Myers says, "These? You're reading these?" and Abe nods in response, his eyelids are easily visible blinking down, like a normal humans. But for the rest of the film they seem to come from an angle.

Correction: When Abe nods at Myers, his eyelids blink from an angle. You may need to zoom in to see it.

Shaun of the Dead picture

Corrected entry: Many of the people that appear in the opening titles reappear as zombies later in the movie. The woman behind the till plays Mary, the 'girl in the garden', all the members of the bus queue appear somewhere, the nodding zombies reappear and take a bite out of Phillip's shoulder and the boy with the football is always outside Shaun's house.

Correction: Something this obvious is not really a trivia.
