The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: We only see the back of Lisa's head so it's impossible to know if her mouth moves or not.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: We are seeing it from a different angle than normal so it's hard to know if it's really different. Even if it is, this is not a mistake. There is time before and after for things to change.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: The spoon is out of shot while we are seeing Homer. Lisa may have licked it clean or the ice cream may have have just melted.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: In between Homer entering and us seeing him clapping, we see Lisa on stage. Homer had plenty of time to move to the right.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: We see the audience from behind, they could easily be clapping their hands without us seeing.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: Skinner was joking, safety requirements would not allow him to lock the doors.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: No, the scene where he is wearing his coat is completely different from when he is leaving the house. He may have gone home in between.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: No, the shot changes from a wide look at the whole cast to one of the camera screen which has zoomed in on Krusty so he's the only one we can see.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: That's what clocks do, even in cartoons. The changes in time make perfect sense.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: It was moved to give Krusty space for his unicycle act and then put back.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: This is normal during dinner and there was plenty of time during Krusty's story when we couldn't see the table for things to be moved.

Correction: Not at all clear if this is true, the monkey may simply have its tail between its legs.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: We see Bart clear a number of things from the table and then the angle changes to one where we can no longer see what's on it, so no mistake.

The Simpsons (1989)

Duffless - S4-E16

Corrected entry: The hamster gets electrocuted mildly by a food pellet with an electric current. However, it is an electrical insulator so it couldn't have an electric current.

OL1V3R666

Correction: It's impossible to tell what the battery is connected to. Yes it's the same shape as a food pellet but hamsters will gnaw on anything including the bars of their cages, which are metal.

Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie - S4-E6

Corrected entry: Before the Simpsons are in their house talking about the Itchy and Scratchy Movie, there's a line of people waiting to see it that extends past their house and down numerous streets. When it shows one of the kids talking, the window behind them shows that all the people have vanished.

Correction: There is time, while Homer is in shot, for the line to have moved forward.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: The identical drunks are very visible in several shots. It's defintely not a case of the same shot reused so they must be twins.

Jumanji (1995)

Corrected entry: During the monsoon, no water ever escapes through the house's doors. Water never leaks underneath the doors, or through the locks.

Correction: Given the entire concept of the movie, this is no more of a mistake than anything else that happens.

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

Corrected entry: Moore implies that the name of James Bath being blacked out from Bush National Guard records which were released by the White House is due to a conspiracy. It's not and the blackout might appear less sinister if Moore revealed that federal law (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, HIPAA) required the National Guard to black out the names any Guardsmen whose medical information was on the same pages as the records which the Guard released regarding George Bush's health records. In Bath's case, he had been suspended for failing to take an annual physical exam. So what Moore presents as a sinister effort to conceal the identity of James Bath was in fact the legally-required compliance with federal law. Moore gloats: "What Bush didn't know was that I already had a copy of his military records - uncensored - obtained in the year 2000." Moore creates the impression that he is an investigative sleuth. Actually, the records had been released in 2000. The privacy regulations for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) went into effect on April 14, 2003, and so did not apply when the National Guard records were released in 2000.

Correction: None of what Moore says is a mistake, it may be misleading and designed to make him look clever but that doesn't make it wrong. This is an overtly political documentary and all he does is provide information and let draw our own conclusions.

Robocop (1987)

Corrected entry: When you see Robocop's computer system start up, it loads command.com before it loads the BIOS. If Robocop is controlled by and ordinary PC in any way (he must be in some way since he loads command.com), the BIOS must be loaded before command.com. (00:26:05)

Correction: If Robocop was controlled by todays technology then the submission would be valid but the movie is set in the future using technology which doesn't exist today so we can't possibly know how he should start up.
