The Patriot (2000)

Corrected entry: In one scene while Benjamin and his friends are standing and talking, you can see above them a large microphone.

Joe Campbell

Correction: In order for this to be a valid mistake, the specific scene or time stamp in the movie would have to be listed.

Corrected entry: In the scene right before Valiant gets off the trolley they show a shot of men lifting a sign with Clover Leaf on it. Then when Valiant throws his mail out and runs over to the station they show the same sign in a different spot even lower than before.

Joe Campbell

Correction: No they don't. The sign is actually *higher* than before. Even if it was lower, it's not like the sign was fixed, it was in the midst of being raised on pulleys -- they could have adjusted the height.

JC Fernandez

Correction: The picture is loosely folded in three, so Dolores has to 'unroll' it. From a distance it looks as if it is folded.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Hoskins and Roger pull up to Maroon's office in the car look at Hoskins' pants, they're a much lighter color. But when he gets out and talks to Roger they're now much darker.

Joe Campbell

Correction: Bob Hoskin's light khaki-coloured trenchcoat covers his dark trouser legs while he is seated in the car. You can see how long the trenchcoat is when he climbs the stairs.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Duke and his photographer are riding in the desert, right before those guys come up with the dead deer on the jeep, look at the photographer's mouth. He is talking but you don't hear him.

Joe Campbell

Correction: The entire scene is shot from a third-person point-of-view but taking into account Hunter's current state of mind (blown out on drugs). Therefore he could have simply never heard the guy talking.

Goodfellas (1990)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the letter carrier is getting his head put right into the hot oven, notice that he grabs the inside of the oven door with his left hand. The oven must have been off, or it would have burned his left hand.

Joe Campbell

Correction: There is nothing to indicate that the oven was on to begin with (i.e. There are no elements seen in the oven that are on) or any evidence that it had been on beforehand.

Lummie

Actually, isn't that a pizza that we see in the oven? The oven is likely on... But regardless, the scene freezes the frame not even a full second after his hand touches the oven door. Had the scene gone on, he likely would have pulled his hand away in pain (we do hear him make a small shriek when it happens).

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, at Ben's mansion, look closely at his brown sweater: you can see his microphone in the middle of his chest.

Joe Campbell

Correction: You can see a bump in his sweater, so it could be anything under his sweater. At no time can you see a mike and wires to prove it is a "microphone".

XIII

Corrected entry: In the scene where Roger and Hoskins get away in the cab watch the weasels get into their van. As they pull away quickly look at the side of the van to see a reflection of a boom mic. (00:55:55)

Joe Campbell

Correction: What we actually see is a reflection of a lamp post.
