Balls of Fury picture

Corrected entry: When George Lopez fires off his gun in the hotel room after being suddenly awakened, there is no visual damage to the walls at all, despite the gun being pointed right at them.

Correction: If you look closely you can see the three holes in the headboard of the bed just above Randy's head.

Correction: Unfortunately, that happens all the time in real life. Character mistake at best.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End picture

Corrected entry: After Nina makes it back to camp to tell Jake, Jonesy, and Amber about the killers, they all freak out after noticing Kimberly's tattoo on the meat they had been eating. How did they know about the tattoo if Kimberly's character never showed up?

sunfox35

Correction: For the simple fact that the players introduced themselves in a video at 00:08:02 and Kimberly shows her tattoo. As with any game show, I'm sure the other players were shown the video so they could see who they are competing against.

White Noise 2: The Light picture

Corrected entry: After being revived, Nathan Fillion would had to be placed under psychiatric observation for attempted suicide, and then also would be eligible for facing criminal charges. Under no circumstances would he be allowed to freely leave hospital.

Correction: In such a case, the state or city would have to press charges against him, they must have decided not to. We also don't know how long he was in the hospital. He could easily have been held for a week for observation and then released. There might well have been court mandated shrink visits once a week for him that were simply not shown on film.

The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising picture

Corrected entry: When the rider summons the cold, the window freezes. If window glass were to get that cold that fast it would shatter. The cold does manage to find it's way in and everyone's covered in frost and there are huge icicles in the house. First off, somebody would've woken up if they weren't dead already. Second, icicles need liquid water to grow and they don't grow in extreme cold. Also, even falling icicle's that large would likely injure but not kill someone (the ones that weren't controlled by magic). (01:17:20)

zephalis

Correction: This entry nearly explains itself away: magic. The windows don't shatter because it's magic. The icicles form because it's magic. Frost grows on people without killing them because it's magic.

Mr. Brooks picture

Corrected entry: When Mr. Brooks leaves his house to go to his for the studio for the first time he is wearing his glasses, yet when you see him outside walking he isn't wearing them, and then they are back on him when he turns the lights on inside his studio. (00:07:25)

Jason Riley

Correction: We also saw Brooks remove his glasses when driving in the dark earlier. It's possible that light reflecting off the lenses causes glare when the rest of the environment is dark, so it's easier to see without the glasses. That happened to me frequently when I wore my glasses. He could just have taken them off for walking outside and put them back on prior to entering the studio, as he would be putting the interior lights on.

The Invisible picture

Corrected entry: When Nick is trying to use the pigeons to alert Detective Tunney that Pete is about to leave on a bicycle, in one clear shot up the street, Pete and the bicycle are missing.

Correction: This is actually not a mistake. They just showed it from a different, tighter camera angle. If you look closely at the section that his bike is chained to, Pete is at the section of railing that is out of that particular shot, not the double high section that they're showing.

The Reaping picture

Corrected entry: Katherine said that the frogs in the river died because the pH of the water was off the charts. If this were true, the frog's bodies would have been consumed by the extremely acidic/caustic water.

Correction: Actually Katherine said that the frogs died because there had been an abnormally large survival rate for the tadpoles as the fish that would normally consume the eggs/frog spawn-tadpoles had been killed off by an algae growth which had also turned the river red. Forced out of the water early due to a lack of space/required resources they hadn't fully developed and couldn't survive on land.

Surf's Up picture

Corrected entry: When Cody notices he lost his necklace his reaction helps to make Geek aware of how much he has changed. Hovewer, Cody has his necklace in the previous scene (sure-fire cure, in Geek's house) up to the point when Lani stuns him, after which Cody doesn't regain consciousness until morning (clearly visible on his neck). At that point, Cody's necklace somehow transfers itself to another room where Geek finds it later (Geek couldn't have moved it, since he has to search his house to find it, nor could Lani, who went home earlier, or Cody, who has been unconscious the whole time).

Correction: Geek notices Cody's necklace when he is unconscience. He removes the necklace and throws it over his shoulder in disgust. That is why later he has to search the house for it. You can see Geek throwing the necklace away in the background. It is just hard to spot the first time around.

This Christmas picture

Corrected entry: Mel explains to her boyfriend about her mother's disdain for music saying, "The rest of us are afraid to hum". Later on there is a scene in the movie where the family, including the mother, is dancing in a "soul train" line to blaring music.

Correction: The "soul train" scene was not actually part of the movie. It was an outtake after the movie ended.

Meet the Robinsons picture

Corrected entry: The first time the adult Lewis meets himself, he would have expected the kid Lewis to show up, having already experienced this meeting as a kid; this means he would not be surprised at all, but he was.

Correction: Adult Lewis never experienced this because child Lewis is changing the past by being there.

Daddy's Little Girls picture

Corrected entry: When Julia meets the girls in Monte's apartment the youngest daughter introduces herself along with her sisters by their real names (Sierra, China, and Lauryn) rather than by their character's names (Kelly, Nita, and Ashley).

Correction: Their character names in the movie are also their real names. I don't know where you got the other names, but they were not mentioned anywhere in this movie.

Freedom Writers picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Miss Gruwell is playing the line game with her students, she asks them to stand on the line if they have the new "Snoop Dogg" album. The film takes place in 1994, and Snoop was still known as Snoop Doggy Dogg back then. He didn't change his name to Snoop Dogg until 1996.

Correction: Mrs. Gruwell was not familiar with rap music. It's entirely possible she just got the name wrong. The kids were always teasing her about how she kept trying to be cool but wasn't.

The Hills Have Eyes 2 picture

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, the Sergeant refers to themselves as the "US National Guard". It is simply "National Guard". The National Guard does not belong to the US as a whole, but to the states. The US Army is the federal government's military force.

Correction: The Sergeant means "US National Guard" to stand for the United States' National Guard. Apostrophe appearing after the "s" to denote the the plurality of the noun. I know several people currently in the National Guard, and they have all referred to it like this on several occasions.

Smiley Face picture

Corrected entry: When she opens the door in her rush to get to the dentist for Brevin, Jane slams the door into the signpost in one spot, and when Brevin comes to see the dent, he rubs the wrong spot on the car door.

Correction: Brevin wasn't sure of the precise spot the blow occurred on his car door, and merely rubbed the spot where he thought it actually hit the sign post.

Superman/Doomsday picture

Corrected entry: In order to defeat Doomsday, Superman launches both him and the creature into space, and then plummets back down to Earth as a meteor. Yet... Superman takes Doomsday back down right in the middle of one of the most populated cities on Earth, Metropolis. The effect of their impact being little different than if a meteor had crashed in the heart of Metropolis, causing a huge crater, making several buildings fall, completely demolishing about a half mile or more radius, and causing incalculable property damage and structural damage to all the buildings in at least a 2 mile radius of the impact. Given the height they fall from, Superman definitely had time to angle themselves away from such a densely populated area. (00:26:20)

Correction: If he wasn't fighting to keep Doomsday from escaping, of course he could have changed course. But Doomsday was fighting him the whole way down.

Rendition picture

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie they show Meryl Streep looking at the newspaper article which is presumably about Jake Gyllenhaal, but it looks nothing like him. It's either about someone else, or is just a bad photograph.

Correction: The newspaper article that Meryl Streep looks at at the end of the movie is about Anwar, not Jake Gyllenhall. Remember, Alan said he would go to the press about what they were doing to Anwar, and also at the end of the movie when Jake Gyllenhall and Anwar are in the car driving through the desert he is on the phone to the Washington Post. This is also why it takes a long time for Meryl Streep to answer the phone at the end, as it's obviously the press and she has a lot to answer for.

Timecrimes picture

Corrected entry: Hector is in a causal loop, meaning his present actions are influenced by his future self. However, some of his actions have no initial cause; he strips the girl and later stabs himself because he remembers that's what his future self did, but he had no reason for initially doing those things. As opposed to later hitting the car and cutting the girl's hair, where he knew why he was doing it, his earlier actions made no sense.

Correction: It's a paradox. There may have never been a beginning. I can be hard to swallow this logic but it is the only explanation and that is what the director wants you to understand. It's like explaining the end of space, it may keep going or there may be an end which wouldn't make sense since there can't be an end.

Charlie Bartlett picture

Corrected entry: In the scene after the school dance and Charlie is walking through the halls, the next day him and Susan are in the same clothes they are wearing in the bathroom scene that takes place a few days later.

Correction: So? Don't you wear the same clothes more than once? And "a few days later" would mean the clothes could have been washed.

Fred Claus picture

Corrected entry: According to the "rules," the presents must be delivered by sunrise, "North Pole time". During their respective winters, the North and South Poles have 24 hours darkness.

Correction: They do not have 24 hours darkness all winter. For example, North Pole, AK [And yes, I know the North Pole is really in Canada] has a sunrise at 1050 and sunset at 1441 making the day just shy of 4 hours on December 26. Ft Good Hope, Canada is closer to the magnetic north pole and has a sunrise of 1210, sunset 1451, amlost 2.75 hours of daylight on December 26.
