Drag Me To Hell picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Christine first meets the seer, the seer takes Clay's credit card to charge $60, but in the uninterrupted events that follow, he charges nothing to the card. After becoming frightened, he insists on 'returning' the money, but is later revealed to have taken the money anyway. After having insisted on not taking the money, it would have taken an uncomfortable set of circumstances for the group to agree to let the seer electronically charge the money to the credit account anyway, rather than agreeing on no charge and simply leaving.

Creation picture

Other mistake: Just before the ending credits, this statement appears: "He was buried with full Christian honours, in Westminister Abbey." Perhaps the extraneous comma in that sentence might not be as noticeable if Westminster had been spelled correctly. (01:38:15)

Confessions of a Shopaholic picture

Other mistake: When Rebecca gets back to New York, the cab she's in drives past a couple of billboards, advertising Disney's "G-Force", and the upcoming Bruckheimer produced "Prince of Persia". The billboards were reflected in the window of the cab in perfectly clear focus and correctly as the eye would see, not backwards as they should be as a reflection. (00:53:05)

The Secret in Their Eyes picture

Other mistake: At the end, when Esposito is looking at the piece of paper where he wrote "Temo", he put that paper over the pages of the novel and we see one of the pages. In the third line there is a handwritten "A" over an existing "a" between the words "pAsó" and "ese." In the fourth line there is an existing "a" that's not overwritten in the word "la." But the typewriter had a missing "a", so there should be none in the text.

Suggested correction: Just because they understand some slang, doesn't mean they should understand all slang.

Quantom X

Well if they're an ancient race then how do they know of the use of the word rack regarding female anatomy? One of them went out into the modern world and learned this? Hera tell them this? Maybe they got internet or a modern dictionary?

Rob245

Well obviously they know stuff about the modern world. Diana could speak Dutch fluently, not Old Dutch either, but modern Dutch. So they do get information or else she wouldn't have known that. This would include slang.

Miss March picture

Other mistake: Throughout most of the sequence in Hugh Hefner's office, the framing of the camera cuts the main character's head off. This is not a cinema error, this is bad framing. The framing fixes itself then goes back to cutting the character's head off.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man picture

Other mistake: After the Sheriff has destroyed the robot, Madison appears and Van Ryberg spots her and starts smiling at her. Considering this is his ex-girlfriend and her uncle (the Sheriff) has just died, him stood their grinning at her is about as far removed a reaction as there is possible to get. One might at least expect some heart warming dialogue, an embrace, a mention of the Sheriff, but no, through the several shots of the camera flicking between him and her, he just keeps on grinning.

The Pink Panther 2 picture

Other mistake: Inspector Clouseau concludes Miss Solandres was the thief by looking at her license plate and discovering he gave the car a fine 2 days before she claimed to have arrived in Paris, 1 day before the Pink Panther was stolen. However she told Clouseau her car was a rental moments earlier, therefore he should've assumed the fine applied to the previous renter as Clouseau had no reason to doubt Miss Solandres' story at that point. (01:10:00 - 01:25:00)
