Mortug

Corrected entry: After Rennie is thrown overboard, she goes to the bathroom to wash up. As she is washing her hands, a vision of Jason comes out of the mirror. If you look closely, the water in the sink has turned itself off. (00:32:15)

Correction: No, you can even see and hear the water pouring.

Mortug

Corrected entry: Jason boards Jim's boat, and when Jason grabs the handrail Jason's pinkie finger and thumb are sticking out of the glove. Jason, even though a rotting corpse, he still has these two fingers nice and healthy looking. (00:07:10)

Correction: Jason has got unique powers of regenerating himself. That's how he keep coming back to life all the time.

Mortug

Corrected entry: In the scene where they first get into the Antarctic, you can hear strong winds in the background, though snowflakes fall down really smooth, like there is no wind at all. (00:14:25)

Correction: That's not the sound of wind. It sounds more like thunder. The sound is made when the laser beam shot from the Predator's mothership hits the atmosphere and creates the tunnel in the ice.

Mortug

Corrected entry: After Tommy has been arrested and is back at the Sheriff's station, we can see that Tommy is wearing handcuffs while Megan and the Sheriff argue. After the Sheriff leaves, the Deputy grabs Tommy and throws him into the jail cell. 2 minutes later, when Megan entices Tommy to distract the Deputy, he is no longer wearing the handcuffs at all. Yet the Deputy never took the cuffs off him. (00:53:25)

Correction: It's a normal procedure to lock the prisoner inside the cell before removing the handcuffs. That's what the Deputy did, we just never saw it.

Mortug

Corrected entry: During the film, we hear that Joey was the son of a mother who died during birth and a father who abandoned him, yet in the final scene of the movie, the sheriff shows Pam a wallet found on the dead body of Roy. It contains a picture of Joey, the same age as he was in the movie. How did he get that if he bailed on Joey before his birth? (01:25:00)

Correction: Even though he bailed on him he still knew who Joey was and where he was. So getting his hands on a picture of him wouldn't be that hard.

Mortug

Corrected entry: The predators return to Earth every hundred years to train. If this is the case, then surely everyone would know about them, as the story is bound to have been passed down through generations. They say in the film that it was an honour to sacrifice yourself, so that the hunt could begin, so surely there would be some people who would want to continue the tradition?

Correction: When Sebastian tells the story about what he's learned about the Predators and the humans that worshiped them he says "But if the hunters (Predators) lost, they made sure nothing survived", in other words something went wrong and the Predators wiped out everything, killing those who would be able to continue the tradition.

Mortug

Corrected entry: Owen Wilson is seen drinking from his canteen when he is suddenly shot at and forced to slide down a concrete wall. The canteen is never seen again until he takes another drink from it. Where was he hiding it? (00:38:10)

Correction: He "hides" it in the pocket he took it out from in the first place.

Mortug

Corrected entry: Considering how thin is the ice on the lake at the end of the movie there is no way an airplane seat fallen from several hundred feet would not break right through.

Correction: The seat doesn't hit the ice on which Burnett walks over. The seat hits bare ground covered by snow, which can be seen when rocks fly up on impact.

Mortug

Corrected entry: The voices were added to the movie later which is why half of the time the voices don't match up to their mouths.

Toolio

Correction: This is because the movie is dubbed. Not a mistake.

Mortug

Correction: To add to the other correction, the actors all spoke their native tongues during filming. Hence some were speaking English and the dubbing looks more-or-less natural, whereas others spoke Chinese, and thus look noticeably dubbed.

Van Helsing (2004)

Corrected entry: When Frankenstein's monster falls into the windmill in the beginning, you see a large gear fly up and out at the exact same angle at which Frankenstein just fell. Physically impossible, unless of course the gear was able to somehow move through the creature. And it does NOT have to do with Frankenstein falling into the cave underneath. (00:06:55)

Correction: It might have hit both Frankenstein and the monster on its way up without we noticing it as it all happens below the flaming inferno. Also we can the the wheel come spinning on its way up so it makes sense that they were hit by it instead of 'going through' them.

Van Helsing (2004)

Corrected entry: When the lightning hits the bridge as the friar crosses it, there is no real rain on the bridge, but a split second later, the bridge is inundated as if it had been rained on for minutes. (01:41:15)

Stuart Green

Correction: You can clearly see it is raining on the bridge before and after the lightning strikes.

Van Helsing (2004)

Corrected entry: When Van Helsing is on the coach and is attacked by the brides a shot from behind the coach shows him riding through a pass cut through the mountain. It immediately cuts to a shot from the side and only trees are behind the coach. (01:11:45)

Joel Gordon

Correction: This was done to show them riding through the Carpathians before getting to Budapest. The scene with the mountains shows them in the Carpathians and the scene in the forest shows them getting in to Budapest.

Van Helsing (2004)

Corrected entry: Before Anna first sees Velcan transform into a werewolf, her hair changes slightly in several different shots while she investigates the strange noise.

Correction: Her hair remains as it is through all the scenes.

Gladiator (2000)

Corrected entry: After the battle with the Germanians Marcus Aurelius says to Maximus, "You have proved your valor, yet again Maximus." The camera then shows Maximus turning around to face him. Then it shows Marcus Aurelius again and if you look to the right (his left), behind him is a horse on the ground. The horse gets up and tries to walk away, but can't because his back right foot has a rope around it, that is tied to the ground to keep the horse in place. (00:15:05)

Correction: Actually, its foot is stuck in the branches from the bush on the ground.

Gladiator (2000)

Corrected entry: In the scene when Maximus and Juba are fighting (tied together with a chain) against other gladiators, they kill the last one and win the contest. Hagen was also fighting and is alive later in the movie. But when the camera is turning around to show Maximus and Juba with the arena and the spectators in the background, Hagen is not there. (00:55:55)

Correction: When the camera is turning around in circle we can't see the whole arena. For all we know Hagen is exhausted and is sitting on the ground below camera view.

Gladiator (2000)

Corrected entry: Watch when Maximus has thrown his sword at the box and is saying "are you not entertained?" there is a shot where it shows the whole arena. One of the men is looking up at him even though they are all supposed to be dead. (01:05:00)

gandolfs dad

Correction: He's not dead, he's wounded.

Gladiator (2000)

Corrected entry: In one of the first gladiator fights, when Maximus chops off the head of his enemies with two swords, it can be clearly seen that the head, or object posing as a head, is already detached. (01:04:40)

Correction: You can see that the head doesn't come off until impact.

Mortug

Corrected entry: In the scene where Harry says goodbye to Remus Lupin they are standing on opposite sides of the desk. There are huge piles of books to the right side (viewer's right) of the desk. When the shot jumps closer the books should obscure part of the view but in fact the books are on the floor behind the desk and the desk is nearly empty. (02:01:30)

Correction: The pile of books behind the desk was there from the beginning. Later when Potter watch Lupin leave we can see the books are still on the desk behind him.

Mortug

Corrected entry: When Harry is watching outside the window on the Hogwart Express, you can see the reflection of his face and the camera on the window. (00:22:55)

Dr Wilson

Correction: The reflection we see is definitely not of a camera. It's the reflection of the doorway and the long shiny silver door handle.

The Postman (1997)

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film, someone in the army disobeys rule #1 (orders will always be followed or something like that) directly in front of General Bethlehem, yet it goes unnoticed. (02:31:45)

Correction: Bethlehem is standing in front of the final showdown, so he isn't bothered with such small details anymore.
