Corrected entry: In the shot where Anne Marie is surfing her final wave a Pipeline, when she is coming down the wave about to set her rail, the camera man is visible in the left hand part of the screen. He/she is in the water with an orange box, the waterproof housing, for the camera in his hands. He disappears because he goes under the wave.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Corrected entry: I don't know why Sarah bothered filling the syringe (to threaten a warden) with all those chemicals, injecting air into the bloodstream is just as deadly, and would probably lead to a faster death because it blocks the heart and obscures the brain, rather than blood poisoning which takes about twice as long.
Correction: The only way the air would kill is if she had hit a vein or artery. She plunged the needle in way to deep to hit either. Plus, the chemicals would cause more fear, which was her goal at the time. Additionally, it takes more than one small syringe of air to kill someone. The amount of air needed to kill a person is far more than most people realize.

Bringing Down the House (2003)
Corrected entry: Right before Steve Martin is about to meet his internet friend, he dims the lights. However, the light switches are not the dimmer type; they can only be turned "on" or "off". Nevertheless, Steve has no problems dimming the lights.
Correction: There are dimmer switches that look like regular "up-down" switches. I have them in my house. They adjust up and down rather than just click.

The Rock (1996)
Corrected entry: In the shower room scene when Hummel is about to close the eyelids of one the dead FBI team. The dead man's eyelid twitches just before Hummel touches it. That's strange as the man is meant to be dead.
Correction: Many body parts twitch in the first minutes after death, as proved later with the twitching leg.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Corrected entry: The film is set in England. After the elevator smashes through the roof and is flying over the city you can see that it's a medieval walled city. It's actually Rothenburg Ob Tauber in Southeastern Germany.
Correction: The DVD commentary states that the film is set in no particular city or country.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Corrected entry: When Tim Robbins is about to escape through his cell hole, we see in one shot of him unbuttoning his prison shirt revealing a nice looking tie and shirt. The next shot shows his hand placing items in a plastic bag. Then the next shot of him is when he is crawling through the cement hole with his prison shirt on, even though he unbuttoned his prison shirt. He remains with his prison shirt on until he leaves the sewer pipe and into freedom. That's when he takes off his prison shirt, revealing a plain shirt, no shirt with a tie - or even a collar.
Correction: He is unbottoning his shirt so that he can remove it, then remove the "good" clothes underneath. He then places the good clothes in the bag so that they'll stay clean while transiting the pipe. Then he puts them on after he gets through.
