Corrected entry: Big Joe tells the gang he's going down to command and get some dirty movies. He returns with a chaplain holding about 10 movie reels. Were they going to watch the movies before or after church service?

Casino (1995)
Corrected entry: When De Niro and Stone deposit the cash million into safety deposit boxes, there are several skinny boxes storing the money. When Stone retrieves money from the bank on at least two occasions, it is one great big box.
Correction: It is a different bank. The one big box is from their bank in Vegas. The money in LA was banked under an assumed name.

Casino (1995)
Corrected entry: When Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone deposit the cash in case of kidnappings and shake-downs, they deposit it in L.A. When Sharon Stone goes to the bank to withdraw it, she just drives to a bank in Vegas. We know it's in Vegas because Las Vegas policemen go with her.
Correction: She doesn't get the shake-down money. It is money from their bank account in Vegas. Earlier, we see her take her daughter to the bank so she can play with the jewellery. Also the bank manager tells Ace that he cannot stop her taking money out as it is a joint account. The money in LA is under the name of Mr and Mrs Collins.

Fantastic Four (2005)
Corrected entry: On the bridge, when Susan Storm suddenly realises that she is turning invisible unintentionally, she takes off all of her clothes except her underwear and pushes through the crowd. When she is climbing over the fire truck, she is suddenly visible and wearing all her clothes again.
Correction: Sue Storm takes all her clothes off and pushes thru the crowd. Jonny Storm and Reed then follow her. As the camera is on them we hear Sue screaming and the crowd laughing, and Jonny and Reed then rush toward the sound. When it cuts back to Sue she is getting dressed and Jonny and Reed are there. They have caught up with her and given her clothes back.

Dad's Army (1971)
Corrected entry: When John Le Mesurier calls for 5 rounds rapid fire from the van, towards enemy on the left, the soldiers deliver three "rounds", then when called upon to deliver 5 to the sky above, they deliver four.
Correction: The Warmington on Sea platoon is not an efficient military outfit. This could be a character mistake, rather than a film mistake.

Das Boot (1981)
Corrected entry: In the underwater scene following the first depth charge attack the large calibre machine-gun behind the conning tower can't be seen. Was this a different boat or model?
Correction: When a submarine submerged, the AA machine guns would be taken below, as would the breech mechanism of the gun.

Sin City (2005)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Marv has just killed two hitmen outside Kadie's and walks away, the shadow on the ground is directed towards the camera, but still he has a silhouette shadow on the wall behind him with no connection to his body at all.
Correction: This is not impossible. In a city there are multiple light sources from different directions, which would account for this effect.
