Charmed (1998)

Trial by Magic - S4-E11

Corrected entry: After Glen finds out about Paige being a witch he jokes about calling off the tabloids. Piper freezes him and says, "you wouldn't find it so funny if you'd lost a sister that way". But time was reversed and the sisters' magic was never revealed, Prue was killed by Shax. Also Piper had no memory of that day, when time was reversed she had no idea why Phoebe wasn't there, so why would she blame Prue's death on that?

Correction: Prue would never have died if they hadn't been exposed to the media. Without the exposure, time wouldn't have needed to be turned back. As for Piper not knowing about the exposure, Phoebe, Cole, and Leo were in the Underworld and therefore not affected by the time change. They would have filled her in on how and why Prue died.

Correction: The fact that they have skeletons is part of the joke, and therefore doesn't have to be entirely factual.

War of the Worlds (2005)

Corrected entry: Shortly after the ferry leaves, the captain looks out his window to see a tripod underwater. It bursts out of the water. This tripod would malfunction and die right away, as at the end of the movie we find out that the tripods are dying because of small organisms in the water.

Correction: The tripods actually died because they caught disease that men have immunities too. It would take a while for the disease to work its way into the alien's system and kill it.

Ghost Ship (2002)

Corrected entry: The puzzle device with letters and numbers that Katie uses to spell out "I'm so bored" in the beginning is near the entrance when the crew arrives but is later visible in her room. While it's possible the Ferryman is moving it around, it seems unlikely given that (when it's in the room) he doesn't make any use of it to scare Epps.

Shay

Correction: Like you said, it's possible the Ferryman moved it around. It's a character decision that he didn't use it to scare Epps.

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Corrected entry: When Napoleon begins dancing with Deb at the school dance, there is nothing hanging anywhere near his head. As they talk during their slow dance, they each barely move their feet, standing in pretty much the same spot throughout the whole song. After they have their conversation and continue dancing, the camera zooms out from the couple (just before the scene change) and now there is a large star-shaped decoration right above Napoleon's head. It touches Napoleon's hair a couple of times, even causing him to move his head.

Correction: No, the star is there the whole time.

Recess (1997)

I Will Kick No More Forever - S1-E11

Corrected entry: Near the end, when TJ convinces Vince to kick again, he said the team needed help. Then TJ is the one that pitches the ball. If his team needed help, he wouldn't be throwing, someone on the other team would be.

Correction: He was probably just saying that to get Vince to come back and kick again. At that point, he would have said just about anything.

Kindergarten Derby - S3-E5

Corrected entry: Mikey says he was the only kid in 3rd Street history to not finish the derby. But 10 or so kids stopped in the Valley of Distraction. And all the trainers knew how bad that was, so more kids in history than just Mikey had to have not finished the race.

Correction: The trainers were most likely able to get their kids to move on after a minute or so in the Valley. They thought it was bad because they wanted their kid to win and stopping in the Valley would get rid of this chance.

Correction: Many actresses portray characters who are younger than they are. It's not really trivia worthy just because her age is mentioned in a song.

Corrected entry: When Ron and Hermione finds Harry crying on a rock, you can see that Harry's footprints stops right in front of the rock. The only way that he could have achieved that is by jumping and turning in the air before sitting, without touching the snow.

Dr Wilson

Correction: Not necessarily. He could have stopped in front of the rock, climbed up, then turned around when he was on the rock. Perfectly possible.

Jinxed - S1-E22

Corrected entry: When Gus is sentenced to "The Wheel," his hands are chained down to the contraption he's on. When Mrs. Finster comes by, she seems to have no trouble at all ripping the chains off the pole.

Correction: It's often shown that Finster is strong and Gus is weak.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Corrected entry: The back seat of the bus should not be reserved for the most shunned kid at school. The back seat is the most coveted bus seat there is.

Correction: It really depends on the school. At mine, no one likes sitting in the back.

Correction: He's representing the Krusty Krab.

The Mummy (1999)

Corrected entry: Imhotep takes the short sighted American's eyes and tongue. Wouldn't he suffer from the man's poor eyesight as well?

Correction: Taking the American's body parts caused his own to be regenerated. He didn't have the American's eyes and tongue.

shorty30490

Correction: Actually he did take Burns' eyes, that's why he mistakes Evy for Anck-Su-Namun. It probably took until after he completed his regeneration that he got his eyesight back. Why would he keep kissing Evy then since she looks nothing like Anck-Su-Namun.

Corrected entry: Timmy's mom comes into his bedroom and gives him his medicine tablet to swallow. If you watch his hand, he pinches the tablet and seems to put it in his mouth. When he drops his hand, though, you notice that he is pinching his finger and thumb down; most likely he is still holding the tablet, which has never been swallowed.

Correction: Not a movie mistake, rather normal behavior of teenagers. Many times I've dumped medicine down the sink or just pretended to take it.

Corrected entry: When Harry and Hermione have travelled back in time, she tells him that they mustn't intervene with anything as terrible things happen to witches and wizards who meddle with time (they think they've gone mad). During the whole experience, they are both very careful not to be seen. Yet as they are rescuing the hippograff, after going back in time, surely the past Harry, Ron, and Hermione would have seen the future Harry and Hermione rescuing the hippograff from the top of the hill they were standing on?.

Correction: By the time the past trio were on the hill, future Harry and Hermione had already taken Buckbeak. All the trio could see was the axe swinging downwards.

Corrected entry: In this film, Death's Design is: whoever Kimberley sees dying first in her premonition will die last. Thus, whoever was first on Death's list is now last. Claire was originally the first person on Death's list, being the only survivor from the first film. Thus, she should now be last on the list in this film, after Kimberley. Claire's death doesn't make sense. She should have been either the first person to die, or the last. Her death is just random - she dies at the same time as Eugene - and surely can't be accounted for in the list.

Correction: Clear was on a different list than the survivors of the pileup. Since she was the sole survivor from the Flight 180 list, she was able to be killed at any time.
