Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted picture

Corrected entry: When the penguins are driving a car after they have escaped out of the casino, Skipper tells Kowalski to send a message to the chimps to meet them at the Hotel Ambassador. About 25 seconds later, when the camera is behind the car, you can see that the chimps were standing in the car all along. (00:13:25)

Correction: There was actually only one chimp in the car. That chimp was at the casino with them the whole time. The rest of the chimps were still waiting at the Hotel Ambassador.

Correction: That's not a mistake. Most lockable doors in work places open the lock automatically when the handle on the lock side is turned.

Rise of the Guardians picture

Corrected entry: When Pitch destroys Tooth's land Santa suggest that the guardians become the new fairies. Tooth then says that they would have visit 7 continents and billions of kids. Why would they visit Antarctica if no one lives on it.

Silver Linings Playbook picture

Corrected entry: Tiffany's hair color changes from black to dark auburn back to black during the second act of the film.

Correction: Given the span of time that is covered in the 2nd act, she has more than enough time to get her hair colored. There is no instance of her hair changing during a scene or between cuts.

Correction: It wasn't Walken who said that. It was the other guy and it was that guy who shot and killed Walken. And the other guy who did knew he was Quaker because he was working for Charlie.

Dark Shadows picture

Corrected entry: When Barnabas comes out of the coffin and kills the workmen, the McDonald's sign behind him says 9 billion served. This is set back in 1972, and even by the mid 80s the McDonald's signs only said 4 million served.

Michelle marshall

Correction: The official company history states they'd served 5 billion by 1969, 15 billion by 1974, and 30 billion by 1979. So 9 billion in 1972 seems about right.
