Corrected entry: When Rambo is shooting the trucks on the bridge with explosive arrows, he only shoots the first and third trucks, yet in the next shot, all three are engulfed in flames. He never shot the middle truck and there wasn't enough time for the fire to spread.

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
29th Jul 2011
Regarding Henry (1991)
Corrected entry: I find it hard to believe that Sarah would keep letters from her lover in her sock drawer. Especially knowing that Henry is at home looking through everything trying to pick up the pieces of his life.
Correction: This is a character mistake at best. She may have meant to get rid of them at some point, but after Henry's accident..may have forgot about them. Also she probably just assumed that Henry would never look there.

Crocodile Dundee (1986)
Corrected entry: When the guy in the bar calls Mick a "bloody croc poacher", Mick punches him in the face then turns round to Sue saying "Sorry about that, but I won't have anyone using bad language in front of a lady." However, Mick had just said "How would I know, shit for brains?" in front of Sue when the same guy asked where he could hunt crocodiles. Mick also says "You can live on it, but it tastes like shit" to Sue when she asks if he is going to have any goanna, yams, grubs or sugar ants. (00:09:40 - 00:38:15)
Correction: Actually, the word 'poacher' was the bad language to which Mick was referring.
Correction: Thats the whole joke. Mick doesn't like others using bad language in front of a lady, but seems to have no problem doing it himself. Even Sue seems to notice this flaw in Mick's Logic.

Get Smart (1965)
Someone Down Here Hates Me - S2-E17
Corrected entry: When Siegfried is yelling at his people, he calls them fools, incompetents, bunglers, and dummkopfs. But the plural form of the German 'Dummkopf' is not 'Dummkopfs'- it's 'Dummköpfe' - a mistake a man with German background like Siegfried would never make. (00:03:15)
Correction: Well Seigfried has proven himself on nearly every episode to be somewhat of an idiot. So not knowing how to say a german word properly is hardly a stretch for him.

Black Hawk Down (2001)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Blackburn is reporting for duty he states that his birthday is 2-27-75 and his age is typed in that he is 18. But in 1992, with that birth date he would only be 17 years old.
Correction: It's stated that the film takes place in October 1993. Where did you get 1992 from?
27th Feb 2011
Pete's Dragon (1977)
Corrected entry: During the opening song where the Gogans are chasing Pete, they are in a forested area with lots of mud and different gradients, evergreens and no evidence of apple trees. Pete hides in a split log and wakes up in the same place, but he steps out into a orchard/meadow with lots of space between trees, different tree species and completely dry.
Correction: He doesn't wake up in the same place. Elliot moved him and the log some time during the night. Notice how when Pete wakes up, he looks around and doesn't recognize the area.

Halloween 4 (1988)
Corrected entry: At the end of Halloween 2 (1981) Michael Myers is shot in both eyes and becomes blind. In Halloween 4 (1988) The Return of Michael Myers he can still see.
Correction: As we have seen throughout the series, Michael has the supernatural ability to heal. His blinding in Halloween 2 was only temporary. And lets not forget that he was also burnt to a crisp in that film, but shows little sign of that here.

Beetlejuice (1988)
Corrected entry: The couple dies after falling from the bridge and falling into the water. When they go through the chalk door, they see people who have died. All the others show how they died: the woman who was cut in half, the burned guy, the run-over guy. So wouldn't Adam and Barbara be blue because they drowned?
Correction: Not really. The others, despite bearing their physical injuries, didn't display any odd skin coloring (like redness or anything). And we dont know how the afterlife works.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Tony is watching his fathers film and reading through his notebook, he picks up a plastic bottle and drinks from it. In the following shot, the bottle has changed to a glass of alcohol.
Correction: Maybe he had both on the table.
Correction: He never picks up a plastic bottle. It's always the glass that was sitting next to him. And it seems to be Dr. Pepper and not alcohol. In the shot before he picks up the glass he's holding his PDA and stylus up to his mouth and maybe that's what you thought was the bottle.

Day of the Dead (1985)
Corrected entry: When they first make it to the mall, one of the characters is washing her hands in the fountain. In the first shot her left hand is just about clean of blood, but in the underwater shot her hand is bloody.
Correction: I think you are referring to the Dawn of the dead remake.as there is no mall in this film.
21st Oct 2003
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
Corrected entry: When in the opening scene at the station the train starts moving Frank's men hear Harmonica's tune. He appears behind the leaving train, but in the wide shots he has both hands down while he is heard playing. Only in close-up he is holding the harmonica to his mouth. (00:10:50)
Correction: This is incorrect. Throughout the whole scene, Harmonica has one hand holding his bag and the other holding the harmonica. At no time does he have both hands down.
14th Dec 2004
Grease (1978)
Corrected entry: In the dance-off scene, 'Crater Face' is standing between Doody and Putzie and talking to then in a friendly fashion. If they were enemies as the film suggests, surely they would want to avoid each other?
Correction: I've watched the whole dance sequence several times and can't find this scene anywhere. Unless you have a timecode or something, this entry should be deleted.
13th Dec 2004
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Corrected entry: In the fight in the fake Rock Ridge, Mongo pushes the horse over. You can see that it is a fake horse with sound effects.
Correction: Of course it's a fake horse. That's the whole gag of the scene.
26th Oct 2004
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
Corrected entry: I don't see how Ben turned into a zombie. When the guys got to the house, they had to cut open the door meaning that zombie's didn't get through it and Ben was never bitten.
Correction: This is a remake of the 1968 version. In that version, people turned into zombies the moment they died. It was only in later zombie films that they brought in the whole infection story. So in being true to the original version, it is understandable that Ben turned into a zombie when he died, despite the fact that he hadn't been bitten.
Correction: It has been established that no matter how you die, unless it's via head trauma, you will return as a zombie, so it is obvious that Ben initially died from bleeding to death from the gunshot wound.

13 Going On 30 (2004)
Corrected entry: If Matt says Jenna threw the dream house at him on her 13th birthday, shouldn't it be cracked or broken when he gives back to her on his wedding day?
Correction: He had 17 years to repair it - not really all that hard.
23rd Apr 2002
Mad Max 2 (1981)
Corrected entry: When Max sends the feral kid out on the hood to retrieve the shotgun shells, Wez springs up and grabs his hand: however, prior to this, we see an aerial view of the truck making a u-turn, and Wez is nowhere in sight.
Correction: Wez cannot be seen cause he is under the truck at the time. This is why he has blood all over his face when he springs up.
5th Jul 2004
Mad Max 2 (1981)
Corrected entry: In the beginning narration, the narrators says "...and it was in this wasteland that he learned to live again" (Max). However, by the end of the movie, it seems to be a pretty strong message that Max hasn't changed at all, and is no better than the rouges that he was fighting.
Correction: The narrator meant learned to live again as a fighter just like in the first film, not as a human. Max may never regain his soul but his fighting skills are pretty strong here.
27th Aug 2001
Stripes (1981)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Bill Murray is driving the lady to the airport, he is driving across a bridge. He is driving away from the airport in Louisville, KY where the film is set, and into Indiana.
Correction: True. But after been called a "typical lowlife" by the elderly passenger, driving in the wrong direction seems pretty much in character as he seems to be quite enjoying making her mad (and probably had no intention of taking her to the airport).
21st Jun 2004
Superman II (1980)
Corrected entry: Near the end, at the Fortress of Solitude, when Lex Luthor "betrays" Superman by telling General Zod about the molecule chamber, he then tells the General "...that crystal over there activates the mechanism." How did Luthor know this? Superman did not tell him.
Correction: Because Lex Luthor had already been to the fortress earlier in the film and already figured out how to work the crystal activation mechanism.
