Corrected entry: When Cris wakes Liz up at the end of the movie, he's wearing the grey t-shirt that she would have bought him when she went grocery shopping later that morning. He couldn't have it yet.

Kristal

Correction: In fact, he did have one, he first appears with it when playing pool at the begginning and wore it throughout the movie. The one Liz gave him is very similar or alike.

Dan in Real Life picture

Corrected entry: Dan backs the station wagon into the police car, yet in later scenes the back of the car is shown and it has no damage at all.

Correction: It's an older car, made of metal. The police cruiser is a newer car that has a body with a lot of fiberglass pieces. Stands to reason there'd be no visible damage on Dan's station wagon but it was still able to damage the cruiser.

Spider-Man 3 picture

Corrected entry: When Spider-man is in the bell tower, removing the symbiote, it's raining and dark outside. At the same time Eddie Brock is in the church down below and praying. You can see out of the front door of the church and it is bright and sunny outside. Similarly, every stained glass window is lit up. How can they be lit up if it is dark outside?

Correction: There are bulbs in the windows. Very common in NYC churches.

3:10 to Yuma picture

Corrected entry: The movie is set circa 1868 (e.g. mention of three years passing since being wounded in the Civil War), but a cash register is seen in the saloon. The first cash register wasn't introduced until 1879, and the "traditional" style seen in the saloon wasn't available until years after that. Source taken from http://www.moah.org/exhibits/archives/kaching.html.

Correction: Actually, the movie is set in 1884. Dans remark about "three years of hell" refers to the amount of time they have spent in Arizona trying to get the ranch to turn a profit, not how long it's been since he lost his leg. See http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0381849/faq for more details.

TMNT picture

Corrected entry: Splinter's ear does not ever reveal his injury incurred from his first encounter with The Shredder where the top half of his left ear was cut off.

Correction: This movie seems to take place in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) universe. This is evident by the presences of Kari. Splinter's ear was injured in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie universe.

Wild Hogs picture

Corrected entry: Any time the guys on are on their motorcycles, the camera, cars, set lights or crew are reflected in the chrome of the bikes.

Correction: At no time are the crew, camera or cars visible in the chrome. The lights could easaly be the sun.

Zodiac picture

Corrected entry: In the scene the morning after the taxi driver murder, the detectives were driving on a San Francisco street where a 'bus lane only' diamond was visible/painted on the street. These did not exist then.

Correction: The first bus lane was actually made in 1939, and were highly used by the 60's, during the zodiac killings.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix picture

Corrected entry: When Umbridge is writing the "OWLs" on her chalk board she makes three last strokes as if to make a period. We can hear the sound of chalk hitting the board. when you look after there are no periods.

Correction: Umbridge is not writing, but only pointing at each letter with her wand, bringing attention to them.

The Simpsons Movie picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where the dome is being lowered over the town, the dome comes down and squashes fences etc. There is a man who can't decide whether he should be in or out, then the dome flattens him at a fast speed. But in the next shot of the dome squashing the Simpson's fence, it moves very slow.

Correction: Notice, the dome crushes the fence slowly then drops to the ground fast.

Halloween picture

Corrected entry: Michael kills the truck driver and takes his clothes. Everything fits him perfectly, despite Michael being taller and bigger than the other guy. (00:53:00)

amycamille1975

Correction: This is incorrect, the truck driver's overalls look obviously baggy on him when shown wearing them, and although Michael is definitely taller than the truck driver within this remake, there's no doubt in my mind that they are about as big as each other in terms of shoulder width, body width. In reality it would fit Michael perfectly.

28 Weeks Later picture

Corrected entry: Why weren't there guards to prevent Don from entering the quarantined room with Alice and obtaining the Rage virus from her? Even with his master clearance; he wouldn't have the authority to enter such a high risk area unescorted. With the risk of another outbreak from Alice's body fluids, the base commander would have assigned 24-hour guards around her in addition to the forces already in control to ensure no one touched her and became infected. Anything less would have been cause for the commander being relieved for incompetence, assuming he didn't get killed or infected first.

Correction: She was in a locked room that very few people could even access, and he made the obviously incorrect assumption that none of those people would even want to go in there, let alone be foolish enough to actually try. Why waste the men on it?

Disturbia picture

Corrected entry: After Kale kills Turner he tosses him into the pit of water. However, just being dead, Turner goes in stiff as a board (instead of his arms and legs dangling) showing it was a dummy thrown into the pit.

Joel Amos Gordon

Correction: It's obviously a stunt double. His arms are "stiff" because he is holding on to the garden shears stuck in his stomach. Dummies used in movies are never stiff as a board anyway.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets picture

Corrected entry: While investigating the Statue of Liberty, Ben says, "Laboulaye had to leave a clue somewhere". However, when he says this, his mouth doesn't move.

Brad Premium member

Correction: Mr. Cage has a tendency to speak without moving his mouth a lot and as he says those lines with the camera to his back, it is difficult to claim that he is not moving his mouth at all.

Very true... In most of his movies he speaks without moving his lips.

Live Free or Die Hard picture

Corrected entry: Near the start of the chase involving the HAZ-MAT van and the semi, John runs into a black Mercedes Benz car, skewing it round to the left of the cab, later on in the chase, he hits exactly the same Mercedes.

Correction: There must surely be two black Mercedes Benz cars as the first one is all smashed up.

Sunshine picture

Corrected entry: Capa escapes the Icarus II spacecraft using the spacesuit to reach the bomb payload. When the bomb payload begins to move away from Icarus II, the rocket thrusters damage the Icarus II spacecraft to the point of destruction. When you see the spaceship explode you can see that the front part of the craft where the shield dish is has no thrusters or engine in which to move away from the sun and the bomb payload. I assume that the craft designers orginally intended for the crew to be able to survive the mission and escape, but how is this possible if there is no engine or thrusters for the ship to move away from the sun? Turning the ship round is no option, as the sun would destroy the ship, hence the need for the dish which acts as a shield.

Correction: The ship has its own thrusters that rotate in whatever direction needed. The payload thrusters did not damage the ship to the point of destruction. The ship was destroyed by the sun.

Good Luck Chuck picture

Corrected entry: While Stu and Chuck are in the park playing frisbee, over Stu's right shoulder a woman carrying a soda sits down at a picnic table twice.

Correction: The two scenes are distinctly different; the woman could easily have sat down and gotten back up.

Sweeney Todd picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Todd attacks Pirelli with the teakettle, he first swings it from the right to left, then you see Todd for a split second swing it in a downward motion, but Pirelli's head moves up as if Todd just swung it in an uppercut motion.

Correction: If you watch, you can see Pirellis's head snap downward and then snap back up- a realistic reaction from a downward blow.

Hitman picture

Corrected entry: The tattoo below Nika Boronina's left eye switches sides during the first exchange between her and 47. It goes from below her left eye, to below her right eye and back again.

Ian Hunt

Correction: It doesn't change sides. The camera view switches from a direct shot of her face, to a shot of a reflection of her face, which of course is a mirror image.

High School Musical 2 picture

Corrected entry: At the end of singing "Gotta Go My Own Way," Gabriella gives Troy back his "T" necklace. The next time he sees her, as she emerges from the crowd during the song "Everyday," she's wearing the necklace again.

Correction: Of course she is wearing the necklace again, that's the point. After Troy goes back to just being kitchen help, makes up with Chad and the others, then agrees to sing with Sharpay as well as to learn the new song, behind the scenes Ryan, Kelsi and whomever else sneakily arrange for Gabriella to show up at the talent show. Considering the fact that Gabriella came back to the resort and then learned the new song, it is also obvious that behind the scenes either she or one of their friends simply retrieved her 'T' necklace (from Troy's bedroom or locker), so when Troy sees her wearing it again he would instantaneously know that 'they' are okay .

I Am Legend picture

Corrected entry: The first time Will Smith puts shutters over all the windows in the house before nightfall, in the morning, he awakes to sunlight beaming into the room.

Correction: He goes to sleep in the bathtub. Obviously he got up (presumably at dawn) and went to bed. He most likely opened the shutters before getting into bed.
