Corrected entry: When the SS soldier is killing Private Mellish in the last battle scene you can see a line where the soldier stabs Mellish.

Eurotrip (2004)
Corrected entry: The Manchester United bus says, "If your not a mank, your a wank." It should say "you're."
Correction: Grammatically correct indeed but the level of intellect which comes up with this poetry might be expected to make such a mistake.

Jurassic Park (1993)
Corrected entry: Watch carefully as Ellie removes her protective gloves after examining the um, droppings. To properly remove soiled gloves, one should "peel" the first one down from the top, turning it inside out. Hold the removed glove in your other hand, and "peel" the second glove down, turning it inside out and encasing the first glove. This prevents your hands from becoming contaminated. Ellie removes her gloves by pulling the first one off at the fingers, keeping it soiled side out. She then grabs the other glove, removes it the same way, then holds both of them together in her right hand, thereby ensuring nice, dinosaur-poopy hands. (00:51:00)
Correction: OK not pleasant and a strange choice, but not a mistake and definitely not a factual error to decide to remove gloves in this fashion.

The Mummy Returns (2001)
Corrected entry: In the beginning when they're running from the nile, they grab on to the steel grate above them... Didn't know the Egyptians made steel! (00:16:15)
Correction: Egyptians were using iron from 4000BCE and producing it themselves perhaps as early as 1000BCE. The grate may be iron.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: It's been pointed out that McClane's shirt changes from white to green after he emerges from the vents; this is certainly a "cheat" by the wardrobe department to make him appear grimy and battle-worn. But notice, also, that toward the end of the film, the shirt switches back to white.
Correction: Towards the end of the film he's not wearing a shirt at all.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: After the FBI shut down all the power to the grid that the building is located in, there is a scene of the news van rushing to the home of Holly and in the background you see the building and lights are on all around it.
Correction: It's not possible to know if we are even seeing the same building that has just lost power.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: When Argyle is in the limo in the basement, he's sitting in the back on the left hand side. Then he jumps to the front seat to listen to the CB radio, after which he looks at the huge teddy bear in the mirror and says something like "What are you looking at". The bear meanwhile has himself moved over to where Argyle had been sitting!
Correction: In between these two events, Argyle has been driving the limo around the car park desperately looking for a way out. We see a couple of shots where he's cornering fast so of course the bear will move.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: After Bruce Willis has thrown the terrorist on Al's car, plenty of backup arrives. An ambulance member starts to tend to the cut on the cop's head. If you look closely, he tries to put a pad on the 'blood' on the cop's head, but when he takes it off, there is no blood on the pad.
Correction: The mistake is wrong. The ambulance guy applies the pad once then looks at it then applies it a second time. We never see the side of the pad that is applied to Al's head so we don't know if there is blood on it or not.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: I can't understand why it takes ages for the police to find out that there really are a certain amount of hostages, who were having a Christmas party? There must be hundreds of relatives and friends who would have called the police, some of them even come in person to the scene and confirm McClane's information as correct after the newsbreak.
Correction: Not much time passes between the partygoers being taken hostage and the police finding out. Certainly not enough time for anyone to have decide that their loved one should be home by now and called the police. It was a party after all, and people sometimes come home late from parties.

Die Hard (1988)
Corrected entry: In the begining of the film when John is in the limo, there's a teddy bear next to him in the back seat that has a red bow around his neck, however, in next scene, the bow is gone, and the next it magically appears.
Correction: We only see the bear in the back seat one time and the red bow is present. More importantly, McClane sits up front, to the surprise of the driver.

Friends (1994)
The One Where Nana Dies Twice - S1-E8
Corrected entry: In 'The One Where Nana Dies Twice' Joey says he never thought Chandler could be gay. However, in 'The One With The Flashback' Joey tells Chandler, when he becomes his roommate, he is okay with the 'gay-thing'.
15th Jan 2004
Friends (1994)
The One with Two Parts: Part 2 - S1-E17
Corrected entry: When George Clooney answers the phone (while Monica and Rachel are pretending to be each other), he starts handing the phone to Rachel, saying "Rachel, it's your dad", but should be passing it to Monica (as he thinks her name's Rachel). The angle then changes, and now he's handing it to Monica.
Correction: In the first shot it is not clear that Noah Wyle's head is in the way. If George Clooney passed the phone straight to Monica then he would hit him. In the next shot it is clear that he passes the phone while avoiding him which is why he appears initially to be passing it to Rachel.

Friends (1994)
The One with the Dozen Lasagnas - S1-E12
Corrected entry: In the one where Joey and Chandler buy a foosball table, Monica and Ross come over to play. The score as the blue team and are on the right hand side of the table. When the credits are rolling, Monica is playing against Joey and Chandler again. She is on the left hand side of the table but scores as the blue team again.
Correction: Look carefully, she scores as the red team. No mistake.

Friends (1994)
The One Where Paul's The Man - S6-E22
Corrected entry: When Paul enters his bedroom and Ross is behind the door, Ross hesitates and then snakes under the bed while Paul is distracted. However, Paul is looking at the mirror in the corner, which faces back towards the door, so he should have seen Ross standing there.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Corrected entry: When the platoon sergeant is canning the dirt sample from France, the markings on the 3 cans are made with a wide-tipped magic marker. These were not developed until 15 years later. A black grease-pencil was standard issue in those days (1944).
Correction: The first magic marker was actually marketed in 1952 but similar types of pens were already available in the 1940's.

Friends (1994)
The One With The Nap Partners - S7-E6
Corrected entry: After Rachel shows Phoebe all the stuff she was saving for Monica's wedding, she leaves them on the couch, then Monica walks in and when she's gone all the stuff on the couch is gone too.
Correction: Phoebe holds all the items Rachel gives her in her hands, she does not put them on the sofa. When Monica comes in, the stuff in still in Phoebes hands. The next time we see Phoebe the stuff is gone but she had plenty of time to return it to the paper bag that Rachel placed on the floor earlier.

Friends (1994)
The One With The Flashback - S3-E6
Corrected entry: Mr. Heckles knocks on the door of Monica's apartment. Phoebe goes to answer the door, and you can see that the apartment numbers are 19 and 20. Wouldn't these still be 4 and 5, if the flashback is set 3 years before series 1?
