Journey 2: The Mysterious Island picture

Other mistake: Big animals are small and small animals are big on the island, but Alexander has fireflies in a jar at his treehouse. If animal sizes are reversed on the island, the fire flies should be very large, similar to the bees that show up later in the movie.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted picture

Other mistake: In the scene where Vitaly jumps the flaming hoop again, in the shot before he says to light the hoop on fire, if you look at the dogs you can see that three of them do not look like they do in the rest of the movie. One of them even looks completely different.

American Reunion picture

Other mistake: In the bar scene they show an online video of Jim and Nadia. The angle of the video is from the movie but the web camera in the computer was situated in the left of the scene, so the position of the online video is not correct. (00:19:02)

Cleanskin picture

Other mistake: There is scene in which the assassin is mocking the young would-be suicide bomber and his friend for eating with knives and forks whilst he eats using his hand to pick up the food. However, he eats with his left hand which is absolutely forbidden under Islam. All Muslims eat with their right hands unless they are unable to eat with it (for example if they have a broken arm).

Chernobyl Diaries picture

Other mistake: At the end, we learn that the predators are escaped patients from a hospital, ostensibly horribly mutated survivors of the accident. But if they've "escaped" into Pripyat, the hospital must be located inside the exclusion zone, and why in the world would they use a hospital there? All patients and staff were evacuated from the Pripyat hospital on April 29th 1986.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The exclusion zone is only 30km. A hospital could have been built or other structure repurposed outside of the EZ. Simply walking at a normal pace, one can easily traverse 30km in a single day. Also, it's not an actual hospital that treats sick people. It's a clandestine operation to perform experiments on these mutated individuals.

The Odd Life Of Timothy Green picture

Other mistake: As Jim and Cindy Green and their "son" Timothy enter a hospital room where Uncle Bub lay dying, the clock on the wall shows 7:39. Two minutes later, the clock still shows 7:39.

Jack Reacher picture

Other mistake: In the scene where James Barr is shown shooting the four men during the war his rifle movement is inconsistent with where the targets were. He took aim at the man furthest away in a line. His rifle would have to move down as he shot each person moving down the line. Instead his rifle moves down then up and up again etc. Even if the targets decided to run after the first shot the rifle movement is inconsistent.
