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.

Now You See Me picture

Other mistake: When Dylan is transported from the stage to "the vault", Alma, Thaddeus and Thaddeus' assistant manage to get down the stairs to "the vault" just a few seconds after he lands as if they took a simple walk there. How would they get there that fast anyway? Dylan got to "the vault" by going through a "teleportation device" that went straight to the fake vault under the stage, but the other three had to walk down a flight of stairs to get there. Even with the fake vault being close to the stage it still would take longer to get down to the fake vault. To begin with, when the vault opened, the stairs they walked down were visible several meters in the background. There were about 13 steps on the staircase which would have made the width of the staircase about 3 meters and the height about 4 meters. With the staircase at this length and position, the staircase leading to the fake vault would have had to have been located around the sitting area. Alma, Thaddeus and Thaddeus' assistant managed to get to the fake vault in about 6 seconds, too quickly. (00:36:05)

Red 2 picture

Other mistake: When Katya is told that Frank was spotted in Red Square, she tells the soldier (in the English subtitles) to call out the Army - but she says, in Russian, something about Spetznaz - which Is Special Forces, not Army.

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.

The Love Punch picture

Other mistake: The last half of the movie is based in France. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are being rescued by a French man that she has been texting. He comes to them on the cliffs in his boat. The flag waving behind them is the flag from the Netherlands not the French flag. They have the same colors but the stripes on the French flag are vertical while the ones on the Dutch flag are horizontal.

Curse of Chucky picture

Other mistake: This is hard to describe. When Nica finds Jill's dead body, you can see the side of her wheelchair and feet on the right side of the screen, and they've been laid over the top of the image in post-production. Their angle literally makes no sense. Her chair would have to be leaned 45 degrees to the side for the shot to be possible. Jill also wasn't close enough to the door where Nica is for the shot to be possible.

The Purge picture

Other mistake: When the security system is armed, you can see the barricades are smooth steel panels running inside the outer walls, obviously on runners. Now, how do you attach a chain to a smooth steel panel and how do you rip it out without bringing the whole wall down? When Charlie lets the fugitive in, the panel is at least 1in thick. There is absolutely no way anyone is getting through that without specialised tools or heavy machinery.

Star Trek Into Darkness picture

Other mistake: After the Enterprise is disabled by the Vengeance and falls out of warp, Kirk and Spock have a discussion in one of the corridors about letting Khan help incapacitate the attacking ship. Watch behind them. The ship is running under Red, but the crew members are walking past them calmly, some even watching their conversation as they pass! Not really Red Alert protocol... In fact, through all of this, only one crewman runs past in the entire sequence.

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)

Night Train to Lisbon picture

Other mistake: When Estefania and Amadeu first meet, she attempts to light a cigarette while talking, which is impossible - you have to have both lips together to hold the cigarette still for the match to light it successfully.

Dark Skies picture

Other mistake: In final 14 minutes, the greys are attacking the house. Several screws are "unscrewed" from the plywood. The first two are turned the wrong way, and the sound effect is of tightening. (01:23:54)

Birdemic 2: The Resurrection picture

Other mistake: Throughout the film, you can frequently see many people's faces blurred, phone numbers blurred, store-fronts blurred, etc. This is because the production could not afford the rights to show these people, places and things, and simply blurred them out.

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).

Other mistake: Originally when BJ introduces himself to Kid, he acts as if he can't recognize him. However, later on Kid gives BJ a scrapbook showing he has followed him all these years and would definitely know what he looks like.

Other mistake: The head of the animal that Guy is wearing when he first meets Eep is not positioned in a way that he would be able to see out of it when he holds his hands up to defend himself.

We're the Millers picture

Other mistake: When Sarah and Casey learn they're only getting a small portion of the money, Kenny says "Wait, you guys are getting paid?" However, he was there when David agreed to pay Casey $1000. He knew she was getting paid.
