Corrected entry: In the scene where Homer and Bart are gonna blow up the dome they are riding on the bike round the dome. When Bart apologizes to Homer they look like they're floating in mid air rather than driving round the edge of the dome.

Futurama: Bender's Big Score (2007)
Corrected entry: During the "Toy Shop Going to War" song number, Santa asks President Nixon's Head if the Neptunian elves could sue for liability. Nixon's Head is only President of Earth, not Neptune, and would have no jurisdiction. (01:12:00)
Correction: That may be. That doesn't mean Santa can't ask someone who may know a little more about law.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: The pyramids and the temples at Petra are tourist destinations where many people are surrounding the area and keeping it crowded. There is no way you would ever find the pyramids as empty as they are in the movie.
Correction: At this point in the film many people are scared of the Decepticons, and probably thought it would be best to stay far away from highly traffic tourist spots, or the government may have banned people from these destinations until the conflict was over.

The Wolfman (2010)
Corrected entry: The film is set in 1891 and depicts a scene where the wolfman attacks a bus full of passengers, yet the earliest motorised buses were not introduced to London until 1902.

Tommy Boy (1995)
Corrected entry: When Paul sprays Tommy with gasoline, you can see a smaller hose tucked into the end of the gasoline nozzle.
Correction: You're supposed to see that hose. It is not a gasoline hose that Paul is spraying Tommy with, it is a water hose used at a nearby car wash.

You Better Shop Around (1) - S5-E21
Corrected entry: In The scene where the store manager comes over to Al and ask him to buy something but wont take his checks. He is still asking for 2 forms of ID. If your paying cash, why would you need 2 forms of ID?
Correction: The store manager does not trust Al. So he wants 2 forms just to burden Al.

Futurama (1999)
A Bicyclops Built for Two - S2-E13
Corrected entry: When Leela asks Alcazar why he held all the weddings on the same day, he replies that hiring a shape-shifting suit is expensive, but he would only need to hire a shape shifting suit if he was holding the weddings on the same day, else he could just have five different suits made. (00:20:00)
Correction: Who's to say that hiring five separate suits would be cheaper than one shape-shifting suit? He's clearly cheap.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Corrected entry: When Wolverine leaves one of the compounds, before he slashes through the door with both hands, creating an "X" in the door; his hair is all wet and once he goes through the door his hair is completely dry.
Correction: It has cut to his escape when he goes through the door. We don't know how long he's been running between those two shots. Also, he was just injected with molten metal, so his body temperature was over 300 degrees upon completion. That could have dried his hair relatively quickly.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Corrected entry: After Sex Machine bites the trucker, the trucker throws Sex Machine through the door or wall, letting in all the vampires. But later, Seth needs Carlos to break the door down in order to let in the sunlight, killing all the vampires. What happened to the big hole made by Sex Machine when he was thrown outside? Why didn't that provide the sunlight needed to kill the vampires?
Correction: Enough time has passed for the group of survivors to prepare to fight the vampires. So the vampires very well may have sealed the hole to prevent sunlight from coming in, and the survivors from escaping.

Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
Corrected entry: There are 2 clear references to Speed: Tune-Man, the owner of the $150,000 boat, is the same as the Jaguar owner which is destroyed by Jack (Reeves) in order to get into the bus - when Jason Patric asks him the boat, after introducing himself as police officer, you can hear Tune Man say something about the insurance. The second, near the end, while Sandra Bullock starts her driving exam, she almost hits a bus very similar to the famous 2525.
Correction: This is intentional, and far too obvious to be trivia.
26th Nov 2003
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Corrected entry: Mario says about his girlfriend "I promised to take her to Wrestlemania." The problem is that Wrestlemania took place in Las Vegas that year. The event took place in NYC's MSG the following year.
Correction: He could have planned to take her to Las Vegas for the event. It is never stated that they are going to Wrestlemania in New York.
26th Jun 2007
Wild Wild West (1999)
Corrected entry: Unlike in the movie, President Grant did not actually attend the "golden spike" ceremony at Promontory, Utah.
Correction: Though this is true, this is not a historical documentary, so the filmmakers are entitled by means of artistic license to change any historical facts to suit their storyline.
26th Apr 2003
Escape From L.A. (1996)
Corrected entry: Snake is able to surf a tidal wave almost immediately after getting shot in the leg?
Correction: Considering the situation he may have been on an adrenaline high. It is also possible (but painful) to stand on and put stress on a leg that has just been shot.
3rd Aug 2007
Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj (2006)
Corrected entry: When Taj drives up to the frat house in the beginning, its covered in vines. The flashback shortly after shows the same building with same accumulation of vines. They wouldn't have been that developed or there at all in 1965.
Correction: It is not a flashback. It is Taj's fantasy of what his father was like in the Fox and the Hounds, which we later find out was a lie. So the building could have the vines in Taj's fantasy.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the film, Daffy is hammering rabbit over every duck sign. Elmer then says to Bugs Bunny that it is rabbit season. When it cuts back to Bugs and Daffy, Daffy is no longer holding the hammer and nails.
Correction: This is a classic cartoon gag where a character will hold one item one second and nothing the next. It is the same as them pulling items from a pocket that will not actually fit in a pocket. Not a mistake.
11th Oct 2009
Airheads (1994)
Corrected entry: When Chazz, while dressed as a delivery guy, is running from the security guards at Palantine Records, he slips into an elevator just as the doors are closing. Every elevator in every office building has a sensor that opens the doors back up when anything passes in front. This prevents people from being crushed. Those doors would have opened as he passed by, and the guards would have snagged him.
Correction: There are sensors on MOST elevators, yes. However there are numerous stories of people who get a finger or hand crushed because they are dumb enough to put there hands in before it closes. Some elevators won't stop closing if someone is holding the close button, or that the door has to be grabbed.
14th Jul 2003
Lethal Weapon (1987)
Corrected entry: After having visited Murtaugh's house and family for the first time, Riggs tells him outside a story from Vietnam, how he "shot a man from 1000 yards in the windy weather" and adds: "That's the only thing I ever been good at." Talk about understatement. Of course he's nothing else but martial arts expert, ladykiller, wisecracking innocent people's life saviour and bad boys' biggest nightmare who can make it through almost impossible situations.
Correction: Not really trivia. Riggs thinks lowly of himself. thinking that he is only good at one thing, killing no less, upholds his belief.
31st Jan 2007
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)
Corrected entry: When Harold and Kumar go to the Burger Shack drivethru, the employee goes nuts shouting about burning the place down. As he pulls over the breadrack his hat falls of his head. We then see him make his way back over toward the window and then fall. As he gets back up he is again wearing his hat which should still be several feet behind him.
Correction: During his rampage he could have kicked his hat around a bit to where he falls and put it on before he got back up.
