Initial D (1998)

Correction: Shots are not repeated. There are sections of that pass that look like previous sections, depending on the camera angle. This can be recreated by exploring the road in the various video games it can appear in.

Corrected entry: When Charlie and Goldberg are out of control towards the bridge, they jump it and rejoin the group, but there is no bridge in sight.

Toolio

Correction: When they jump off the bridge they turn to the right and join the rest of the group. You see the bridge is to the right of them after they land on the road.

shkynh

Corrected entry: During the first game against the Germans, Peter launches a ball and misses a player that ducks but the ball hits a bald player in the leg behind him. That player should have been out. (00:49:50)

Toolio

Correction: Yes, he probably should have been, but the ref didn't see it. Bad calls happen in sports all the time.

13 Going On 30 (2004)

Corrected entry: Jenna's blindfold in the closet at age 13 is the same material as the fabric of her sleep mask when she wakes up at 30.

Toolio

Correction: Of course it's going to be the same!

Fight Club (1999)

Corrected entry: When Jack shoots himself in the mouth, you can see the bullet come from his mouth even though the exit wound is under his left ear.

Toolio

Correction: If you watch it in slow motion, that's a tooth - not the bullet.

Payback (1999)

Corrected entry: When Mel rams the Chinese guy's car in the beginning, the roll cage in the Nova can be seen many times.

Toolio

Correction: Yes, there is a roll cage. But they are also wearing the type of seatbelts mostly found in customized sports cars, plus, Mel puts in that little gadget to protect his teeth. It can be assumed that Mel and his partner put in the seat belts and the roll cage so they would have an advantage in the crash.

Cool Runnings (1993)

Corrected entry: When the team is practicing on the mountain, they crash and Sanka flips over the bobsled. A few scenes later the same crash is seen but from a side angle.

Toolio

Correction: It is a very common technique in movies to show action, such as this accident, from different angles. It doesn't make it a mistake.

Corrected entry: When Justin is playing solo in the game against Globo Gym, Blade throws a ball and it actually hits him but the announcer says he dodged it. (01:16:20)

Toolio

Correction: The ball actually hits the plexiglass fence behind him, but it did get very close.

Corrected entry: When Obi-Wan and Qui Gon are fighting Darth Maul, they leap onto a ledge where Maul is at. Watch closely as the camera pans out, you can see Maul trip and almost fall down.

Toolio

Correction: Believe it or not but when you listen to the DVD commentary, this is supposed to happen.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Corrected entry: When Spidey and Doc Ock are fighting on the side of the train, another one is coming towards them. Spiderman has his back towards the oncoming train, yet in the next shot he leans flush against the train and is now facing the oncoming one.

Toolio

Correction: Spider-Man turns around to look at the on-coming train and quickly reacts. He is therefore now positioned to lean backwards against the windows facing the direction of the on-coming train.

XIII

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.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Corrected entry: When Ed is playing video games while Shaun is talking to him, he's playing HALO on a Playstation 2. HALO is only available on the XBox.

Toolio

Correction: Ed isn't playing Halo. He is playing TimeSplitters 2 and that IS for PlayStation 2.

13 Going On 30 (2004)

Corrected entry: When Jenna is getting dressed for the party, she picks up a very sexy frilly thong that is obviously way too big for her.

Toolio

Correction: Firstly, as Jenna picks up the thong, she stretches it outwards, making it appear bigger than it normally would. Secondly, the thong isn't that big, and how do you know it's too big for her?

Hamster

Corrected entry: When Carlos goes to sleep, he encounters Freddy in his dream and gets his right ear cut off. Later you see Carlos get back his ear and put it on the left side of his head.

Toolio

Correction: First, Carlos gets another hearingaid NOT his ear. And also, it's not even his hearingaid, but one Freddy juiced up to majorly magnify souds he caused.

6th Aug 2004

Top Secret! (1984)

Corrected entry: During the scene in the cafe when Nick convinces everyone he is not Mel Torme, everyone is dancing along with him. It's obvious during one of the shots the men dancing on tables are swinging 'dummies' instead of real women. (01:07:20)

Toolio

Correction: This is a deliberate part of the film, to make it look ridiculous.

The Goonies (1985)

Corrected entry: When the Goonies are walking on the beach at the end of the movie, they meet up with their parents. It is assumed it's morning time. How did Chunk's parents get a pepperoni pizza from Domino's at 7 in the morning?

Toolio

Correction: It's never said that it's 7am, it could just as well be 8 or 9 or even 10, in which case most pizza stores are open by then. Also, how do you know Chunk's parents didn't have a pizza left over from last night? He does appear to be the sort who eats it regularly.
