White House Down picture

Other mistake: After the sprinklers go off in the White House, none of the actors' clothes are wet. With the amount of water sprayed, all of them should have their clothes stuck to their bodies. (01:25:00)

Philomena picture

Other mistake: When Philomena and the journalist are waiting to board a return flight from Washington to London, he calls his office in London where a clock shows it is 8:55. That would make it 3:55 in D.C. It can't be 3:55 pm because it is dark; so it has to be 3:55 am. And no flights leave for London until 3 or 4 hours later.

World War Z picture

Other mistake: When the family's car is being hit by the ambulance, we see Gerry's head bouncing around by the impact in a close-up. Camera angle is from inside (approximately from the centre armrest). We see out his window, and there is nothing there. The camera angle changes to an exterior shot, and its clear that the position of the ambulance hitting the car should have made the ambulance visible from the interior camera. (00:08:05)

Other mistake: In the closing credits of the film the titles of production coordinator and assistant production coordinator are misspelled as "production coördinator" and "assistant production coördinator" respectively. (01:51:47)

Suggested correction: Although the film was made by an American studio, that is British (and old American) spelling.

Leicaman

I'm British - no it isn't. The point is the umlauts on top of the second O, which isn't how "coordinator" should be spelled.

Suggested correction: For whatever reason, it was done intentionally (which would be the Dutch spelling of the word). Every "coördinator" is spelled that way, which appears at least 8 times in the credits.

Prisoners picture

Other mistake: When Detective Loki is researching the article detailing Keller's father's death, the date on the computer is 2/27/2013. This takes place shortly after Thanksgiving, which would set the movie in late November or early December, not February. (01:25:05)

What If picture

Other mistake: When Wallace is listening to the old voice mail message from Megan, it shows Megan's phone number as 416-555-0977. When Wallace looks at the phone number that Chantry gives him, it's the same number - 416-555-0977. (00:01:00 - 00:06:25)

The Book Thief picture

Other mistake: Liesel goes to live with Papa and Mama in 1937, and starts attending school. About half way through the movie, 1942, Mama goes to school to tell her that Max was okay. Liesel is still sitting in the same chair and with the same teacher as in 1937, and the kids around her have not changed a bit.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty picture

Other mistake: When Sean Penn is about to let Ben Stiller look through his camera at the 'Ghost Cat' he bumps the camera. They are very far away from the animal and any bump of the camera would A) be immediately noticed by the worlds best photographer and B) move the subject very far out of frame.

Elysium picture

Other mistake: Near the beginning, Max rises and prepares to leave for work, the only scene in which we see his bare torso. As he moves toward the camera through some rather odd under-lighting, it is obvious that his six-pack abs are airbrushed.

Safe Haven picture

Other mistake: When the husband breaks into the old lady's house and checks her voicemail, it says that Katie left a voicemail Monday at 11:47am. When the husband calls the restaurant, the recording says they are open from Tuesday to Sunday. So Katie shouldn't have been at work.

Other mistake: When Stig shoots the helo and kills the co-pilot it still crashes. He killed the co-pilot, the pilot sits on the right side. (01:36:30)

August: Osage County picture

Other mistake: Barbara and Violet are talking in the car after returning from the funeral and all of the windows are closed, even though great effort was made to convey the fact that temperatures were in excess of 100°. They spend three to four minutes talking in the car and neither even breaks a sweat, when in reality, they could not have sat in a closed car in that kind of midday heat for more than 30 seconds or so without becoming incredibly uncomfortable.

The Butler picture

Other mistake: When Cecil and Gloria are having their birthday celebration, before they are informed of Charlie's death, Cecil goes to the refrigerator to open a bottle of champagne. We hear the distinct pop of a cork from a bottle of sparkling wine, so we know he chose that bottle, but when he enters the living room a few seconds later, he is holding a glass of non-sparkling wine (no bubbles are visible).

Begin Again picture

Other mistake: Keira Knightley looks down at her phone, there is a beautiful female hand holding the phone with long slightly curved nail beds. This is not Keira's hand which is seen many other times times throughout the film. She has shorter nailbed and flat nails. (00:22:37 - 01:13:56)

The Great Gatsby picture

Other mistake: At the very end Nick writes "The Great" in ink above the typed title "Gatsby" on the cover of his manuscript. The E in "The" is a completely different style to the E in "Great."

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

Suggested correction: It is the therapist who writes The Great. As for why the Es look different, not everyone one is able to write their letters the same every single time.
