Black Hawk Down (2001)

Corrected entry: The first time McKnight gets in his Humvee after the three Humvees leave the camera shows the Humvee from outside and there is no window in the front passenger door but when they show the Humvee from inside you can see the window. (00:34:30)

jaws65

Correction: No window can be seen.

The Delta Force (1986)

Corrected entry: At the very beginning of the movie Chuck Norris asks Steve James where his friend is and Steve tells him that he is stuck in the helicopter but the flames are too high for anyone to reach him. When Chuck enters the back of the helicopter there are not a lot of flames between him and his friend, certainly not enough to stop anyone from reaching him.

Correction: It wasn't so much that the flames were that high or bad, but Steve mentioned that they were near fuel lines, and there was now the risk the helicopter could blow up at anytime.

Guarding Tess (1994)

Corrected entry: When Tess is kidnapped by her driver, Doug has to run all the way to the nearest gas station to use a payphone to call the secret service and tell them about it and to come pick him up but he had his cell phone on him that he used as soon as he was picked up.

jaws65

Correction: It's a mounted phone. You can see the cord.

Navy SEALS (1990)

Corrected entry: When the seal team is jumping out of the C130 they were wearing helmets and the helmets had their names on them. Even though they were jumping 12 miles off shore and they ditched the helmets as soon as they hit the water they would not have their names on them in case something went wrong and they were captured with the helmets. If they are captured they do not want to be identified.

jaws65

Correction: All U.S. military members are required to carry their ID cards in case of capture, in accordance with the Geneva Convention.

Corrected entry: In real life Vassili Zaitsev killed Major Konig by having someone hold a helmet over his head in an open window and Major Konig shot the helmet and the person holding the helmet screamed as if he was hit. Vassili saw the muzzle flash of Konig's rifle and shot him where he was hiding under a piece of sheet metal. (I guess one of the oldest tricks in the book still works)

jaws65

Correction: In real life, it's highly unlikely this duel ever happened, suggest you read Stalingrad by Anthony Beevor or check this link http://www.russian-mosin-nagant.com/Zaitsev_story.htm.

Corrected entry: When Jay, Silent Bob and the orangutan are running from the diner while being shot at they all go through a sewer pipe to escape and Silent Bob gets stuck in it. The pipe is obviously big enough for Silent Bob to fit through yet somehow he gets stuck.

jaws65

Correction: The sewer pipe seems wide enough on the outside, but it gets narrower as he goes down, causing him to get stuck.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Corrected entry: When Bruce Willis shoots John Travolta John falls back and lands in the bathroom and the door closes. When Bruce goes to open the door we see him put his hand on the blood spot and start pushing the door open, but when we see the door opening from the inside his hand is much lower on the door and below the blood spot.

jaws65

Correction: The shot that shows him when the door opens, his hand is at the same height as the shot before. In the second shot however his hand moves quickly away from the door, giving the impression that it was lower than in the shot before.

Lummie

Corrected entry: Jason first sees Marie inside the US embassy before he meets her out back. Marie was not going to the USA and she wasn't a citizen of the US, so why was she in the US embassy trying to take care of her student visa and passport problems?

jaws65

Correction: Marie is trying to get to America. If you watch the behind the scenes on the DVD it's mentioned. So if she's trying to get to America she would have to get a visa from the embassy.

A Knight's Tale (2001)

Corrected entry: In the final joust when Sir William knocks Count Adhemar off his horse you see Adhemar land on his face wearing his helmet but then you see him laying on his back without his helmet on plus he also appears to be stunned from getting knocked off the horse.

jaws65

Correction: The directors DVD commentary explains that the "lying on his back" scene is happening in Adhemar's mind. That's why we see him get knocked off the horse twice. Once when the dream sequence starts and once when it ends.

S.W.A.T. (2003)

Corrected entry: When the S.W.A.T. team was practicing hostage rescue from the plane they threw a rope over the top of the plane and two of the members were going to pull the rope on one side of the plane to hoist another member up on the other side of the plane, but when the two members pulled down on the rope it took at least a second before the other member starting rising. There was no slack in the rope so as soon as they pulled he should have started moving.

jaws65

Correction: Each rope has an elastic stretch. This means that you have to pull the rope several times before a person will start rising.

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie retired FBI agent Jorge walks by CIA agent Sands, says hey, and tosses him the phone. Sands catches it, but he has no eyes so he couldn't see the phone coming, and it made no noise so he couldn't hear where it was either.

jaws65

Correction: It was obviously a lucky catch, Depp even smiles when he catches it.

Corrected entry: When Jake is singing Janie's got a gun to Janey and the cops or security chase her and put her on the ground one of them gets her with a stun gun but the other one is holding her by the wrist - he should have got shocked also.

jaws65

Correction: The only part of Janie that should get shocked is the part between the two electrodes that is touching her. Since it is a closed circuit, the electricity is going nowhere else.

Sol Parker

Corrected entry: When John Connor takes the Toyota Tundra from the veterinary clinic and is speeding through town, he crashes into the back of somebody's car and the air bag in the Toyota doesn't deploy.

jaws65

Correction: The air bag could have been disabled by Catherine or any other owner, as many people have done because of injuries sustained in accidents from air bags, and/or, because there was a pregnant driver at one time.
