You Don't Mess with the Zohan picture

Corrected entry: When the phantom and Zohan are discussing shoes and the Zohan lifts his feet fighting the enemies, Zohan has one foot with a sock on and one without.

Correction: Unless there is more to this entry this is not considered a valid mistake. Please reword the submission to clarify the continuity error, and resubmit it. Such as, Zohan wears two socks and then one disappears, or Zohan wears only one sock and then instantly wears two.

The Duchess picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where the Duchess sees Charles Gray riding up in response to the message sent after the Duchess gave birth to her son, the day is bright and sunny. It looks like summertime. As they go to meet in the garden, it is fall. It is now grey and overcast and the leaves on the trees have changed color.

Correction: We get plenty of bright and sunny days in the Fall, and within minutes the day can go to grey and gloomy because the weather is so changeable in the Fall.

Be Kind Rewind picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where the movie is being shown on the bed sheet hung in the shop window - what the people are seeing in the shop is the same as what those outside are seeing - it should be reversed.

Correction: Actually, it is.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 picture

Corrected entry: The pants shown in the beginning of the movie are different than those shown at the end of the first movie.

Correction: As explained by one of the characters, two years have passed and they have put more decorations on the pants as time has gone by. There are now many decorations on them, making them look different from the first movie.

W. (2008)

W. picture

Corrected entry: When W. is giving George Sr. a tour of Arlington Stadium in 1990, they comment in passing that it was a mistake to trade Sammy Sosa. By the end of the 1990 season, Sosa's career was relatively unremarkable: he was hitting a career .242, with just 23 home runs and 96 RBIs. It wasn't until 1998 with the Chicago Cubs that Sosa's stardom really took off.

Cubs Fan

Correction: They still saw it as a mistake. In '89 the Rangers used two young outfielders (Sosa and Juan Gonzalez), but Juan stayed in the minors for most of the '90 season and didn't perform as Sosa did. In '89 the White Sox finished 7th in the division and then in the '90 season finished 2nd, above the Rangers who finished 3rd.

Igor picture

Corrected entry: Igor wants to create life, but Igor already has created life, he just hasn't thought about it. He crated Scamper and Brain, and they were alive! In fact, Scamper can't stop living.

Correction: We don't see their creation, so we don't know if their parts were still biologically alive or not when they were "created".

Let the Right One In picture

Corrected entry: In the swimming pool scene at the end of the movie, Jimmy forces Oskar to stay underwater by grabbing his hair and dunking him, and shortly afterward has his arm severed by Eli. One indicator that this is a fake arm is the fact that it is holding Oskar's hair backwards. Look closely and see how the fingers are pointing in Jimmy's direction, not towards the other side of the pool, which would be the natural position for them to be pointing towards.

Correction: I am watching it now. He grabs his hair out of the water and his hand is facing the same way it is under water. This is not an error in the movie.

An American Carol picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where Gen. Patton shows Michael Malone the signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, Japanese and German representatives are shown sitting next to Hitler. This makes no sense, since Italy was not allied with Germany until they signed the Pact of Steel in 1939, and Japan was not allied with Germany until they signed the Tripartite Pact in 1940.

Albany

Correction: The scene is an amalgam of the events of the period, presented for Malone's benefit. The Prime Minister of England also never buffed Hitler's shoes or chose to give Poland to Germany because it's easy to spell.

The Red Baron picture

Corrected entry: In the scene where the Baron is attacking the British bombers over the Western Front, one of the HP 0/400 bombers has the name "Royal Mail" painted on the side of the cockpit. The Royal Mail wasn't in existence during the First World War; it was the General Post Office up until 1981.

Correction: The Royal Mail was the GPO's actual mail arm, as opposed to its retail, administrative and telecommunications arms, since long before the First World War. It certainly appeared on the sides of their vans back then, so there's no reason a pilot shouldn't have ironically painted it on the side of an aeroplane that "delivered" bombs to the enemy.

Milk picture

Corrected entry: Castro Camera Store was depicted as a kind of emporium, when the real store was about the size of a broom closet.

klmahoney2003

Correction: They used the original store in the filming of this movie so it must be the correct size.

Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief picture

Corrected entry: The first picture the President shows Maya regarding Daisy's bad behaviour shows her cocking her leg against Tony Blair. Female dogs don't do that - only males do.

Andy Benham Premium member

Correction: This is just a straight up false statement. Some female dogs will lift their legs when marking.

Corrected entry: In the original story, Jo-Jo is a girl - completely unlike the boy in this film.

Warbirds picture

Corrected entry: At the first 'operations scene', on the back wall is a 50 star US flag.

Correction: As part of your submission, you must explain why this is a mistake. It means nothing to just say this without explanation.

Doubt picture

Corrected entry: When Sister Aloysious returns from speaking with Mrs. Miller and Father Flynn enters her office behind her, the Sister moves to the window to close it against the rain and wind and she reaches to lower the shade as well. We hear the sound of the shade lowering, but the shade does not move at all.

MovieFan612 Premium member

Correction: The sound is of Sister Aloysious pulling the cord to change the direction of the slats, not to lower the shade.

Drillbit Taylor picture

Corrected entry: Filkins's age is inconsistent. When the taunted boys are in the principal's office, they are told Filkins is an emancipated minor (17 or younger). Later at Filkins's party, the taunted boys tell Drillbit Taylor that Filkins is 18.

Sangie

Correction: Filkins's party is his birthday party, marking his turning 18.

Doomsday picture

Corrected entry: Somehow, a Bentley Continental GT is still able to function perfectly, with no deflated tires, evaporated fuel or corroded components, despite being left in a cargo container for 27 years.

Razvaluha

Correction: The car was being transported, that's why it was in the container. Some of the shipping containers are airtight, minimizing rust, corrosion etc. They are also shipped without fluid, so there would be no gas or oil to evaporate, which is also likely why she told the sergeant to "Fill 'er up". The tires should definitely be low or flat, though.

Race picture

Corrected entry: In a song, Akhsay Khanna teaches Bipashs Basu how to play Pool. All the balls are still on the table, and they pot the 8 Ball. Logically, the game should be over but they happily continue the game.

Correction: They could be playing 9-ball, or even a different game entirely with their own rules. Not every billiard game is 8 ball.

Bedtime Stories picture

Corrected entry: As Skeeter and Jill run underneath the pier to get out of the rain, Jill's hair hangs down to her shoulders. In the following close-up, her hair is pulled back behind her head.

Correction: Jill's hair is tied back when it starts raining. under the pier she lets her hair down and it drapes over her left shoulder the rest of the scene. It does not go back to being tied up.
