Corrected entry: Just after the officer kills himself, there is a scene where many people are pulling a lifeboat, it falls and a man falls over the boat, almost "bouncing" - it is obvious this boat wasn't made of wood. (02:20:00)

Paycheck (2003)
Corrected entry: When Michael sees the "Birthday Clip" it is obvious that he is the one holding the camera towards the bed, but when he sits on the bed we see Michael using both hands. Who is holding the camera? (01:16:35)
Correction: Michael doesn't use both his hands, only one. Rachel's hand is holding the cake.

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.

Stuck On You (2003)
Corrected entry: When the twins are on the way to the hospital and Morty appears on his scooter, you can see the smoke of the cigar going upwards while it should be going backwards because of the speed.

Meet the Fockers (2004)
Corrected entry: In the final scene when Jack sees what the spy camera recorded (the one in the alligator mouth), we see Roz and Bernie talking and facing directly to it. If they were talking to the baby, why do they face the supposedly-hidden camera, which is above the baby?
Correction: Two possible explanations. Either the camera is at such an angle they seem to be facing it when really facing the baby, or (Less likely) they are aware there is a camera and are talking to it while doing things with the baby to get Jack angry.

Stir of Echoes (1999)
Corrected entry: When Maggie hits her head, you can see a red line of blood in his forehead. However, in the next shot there is no sign of it at all.
Correction: Actually in the next shot she still has blood it's just not in a line it's spread across her head. That's still not a mistake because she probably rubbed the spot where the blood is.

Alien Vs. Predator (2004)
Corrected entry: Weyland's satellite is shot in such a way that it resembles the frontal section of the Sulaco ship from "Aliens" (1986).
Correction: Actually the satellite is modeled to look like the alien queen when viewed at a certain angle, as revealed in the DVD commentary.

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
Corrected entry: Captain Spaulding shoots Wick on the right, but when he is lying on the floor the wound is on his left side.
Correction: The wound on the left side of his head was likely caused by the bullet exiting.
28th Feb 2005
Alfie (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Alfie and Liz start kissing in her room, there are several angles that show Liz's shoulders uncovered/covered before Alfie removes her shirt, this keeps changing through the whole scene.
Correction: The jumbled sequencing is intentional - it is a technique used in many parts of the film. In this case, it conveys the mood of the scene (the excitement and "absinthe high").
21st Mar 2005
Cellular (2004)
Corrected entry: In the final scene when Tanner is being arrested and asks Mooney to help him, the band aid on his neck wound appears and disappears.
Correction: The band aid on Mooney's neck is there the whole time. There is a shot where he has his right side to the camera and the bandage on the left side of his neck is not visible, but it is on his neck the whole time.
1st Apr 2005
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
Corrected entry: When the crew is trying to rescue Bill, you can see the personal mics on their chests.
Correction: Steve Zissou and Team Zissou film documentaries. Their whole lives center around the documentary and they are always "on" - everything is filmed for possible inclusion in the documentary. It is not unexpected (or unreasonable) that they will always be mic'ed for sound as well.
1st Apr 2005
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
Corrected entry: When they go to investigate the phantom signal, just after Ned asks Zissou if he can call him "dad", Zissou orders the crew to go ahead by clicking his fingers. This is impossible, they're under water.
Correction: Snapping his fingers is a running joke through-out the movie.

The Stepford Wives (2004)
Corrected entry: If women are being changed by implanting chips, not altering their internal organs, why do they act like machines, like when they "spit" money?
Correction: Perhaps some of the wives ARE robots. It is possible that some men when they moved to Stepford were divorced or were not married at all - and would have wives manufactured for them. The ATM option may be an optional extra (albeit a gross one).

The Forgotten (2004)
Corrected entry: When Telly and Ash arrive to the hangars, we see a plane taking off which leaves a tiny line of vapour. It is impossible due to the air temperature near the earth, to condense the air.
Correction: Condensation has little to do with temperature, it is more a function of humidity. Warmer air will condense as it cools. Picture a bathroom mirror after a shower. As the air cools (hot exhaust from the engine) it condenses out its moisture as it cools (hitting the atmosphere). It's why car exhaust can sometimes be seen even when it's not freezing out, and conversely, may not be seen if it is cold, but dry out. Besides which, the plane taking off had nothing at all to do with the movie, other than it was taking off during filming. If you saw contrails, it wasn't added to the shot, and occured naturally.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: When the president leaves the White House the power is off, but his desk lamp is turned on. (01:28:00)
Correction: There's power in the White House. The shot from the outside of the White House shows that. Perhaps they're using a generator and have limited power?
17th Jan 2005
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Corrected entry: After Jack has the massage, he returns to his van with his shirt open. When he enters his motor-home the shirt has all the buttons tied.
Correction: As he walks towards the motorhome, you see from behind that he pulls the shirt closed and begins to button it.
8th Jun 2004
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Corrected entry: In the first shots in Antarctica, just after one of the scientists almost fell in the abyss, there is a shot of one of them where you can see on his jacket a patch showing he is a Canadian officer, despite the fact the only flag in the group is the United States. (00:05:50)
Correction: The patch doesn't mean he is Canadian, the jackets that they are wearing at made by a company called Canada Goose that makes jackets that people all over the world wear.
3rd Aug 2004
Phone Booth (2002)
Corrected entry: While talking to Mario, Stu's cigarette keeps appearing and disappearing throughout the chat.
Correction: It doesn't disappear, Stu takes the cigarette from his mouth and is holding it in his hand which is off camera at some points during the conversation.
24th Aug 2004
Matchstick Men (2003)
Corrected entry: Every time the "money dog" was opened, it barked or something similar. However in the scene at Roy's house when Chuck obliges Angela to take the money, the dog doesn't make any sound.
Correction: The dog does bark when Angela goes to get the money, it's just hard to hear because men are talking. But if you listen closely, you can hear it.
24th Aug 2004
The Stepford Wives (2004)
Corrected entry: When Christopher Walken dies, his head keeps appearing attached and away from his body several times during the shots.
Correction: Walken's head never reappears attached to his body. After Joanna knocks it off, Claire picks up the head and tries to reattach it, but fails and leaves the head approximately where it belongs. The next few shots show the head lying above the torso, but from that angle it's impossible to say that they are connected.

Correction: The man falls onto the boat and bends his knees, then straightens them as he rolls off the boat. Thus giving the appearance of bouncing.
