Corrected entry: When Frank goes to retrieve the failing AE-35, he stops the pod hundreds of yards from the ship and floats his way to the ship. If I were doing this, I would park 10 feet from where I needed to go to avoid the possibility of missing my target and getting lost in space.

Correction: This isn't a mistake - it is you second guessing the film. What you would have done in Poole's place is irrelevant. We have no idea about the logistics of a maintenance mission carried out on a fictional space craft on its way to Jupiter - it has never happened and it is very likely it never will. Not knowing the reasons for Poole parking the pod where he did doesn't mean there isn't one.

I'm not second guessing the film, just the logistical decision Pool made. Makes no practical sense, filmmaking not withstanding.

The Warriors (1979)

Corrected entry: Cyrus' math is wrong. "You are standing with 9 delegates from a hundred gangs. There's a hundred more. That's twenty thousand members" Um no, that's 2 thousand.

Correction: He's talking about the total number of gang members (200 gangs averaging 100 members in each gang is 20,000.) Some gangs were smaller than others, but there aren't only 10 members per gang, The Warriors has 120+ members. The point of the meeting was to discuss the fact that gang members outnumbered the cops 5 to 1, so 20,000 is a more accurate figure than 2,000.

Based only on the film, after all, this is a MOVIE mistake site, where do you come up your numbers and if the Warriors had 120 members, wouldn't they perhaps support their "brothers" when they got back to CI?

There's a deleted scene (from the film) where Cleon mentions 120+ members. And the Gramercy Riffs are larger than that. But even so, the film credits more than 10 people as a Warrior, Riff, Baseball Fury, or Lizzie gang member. The gangs are bigger than 10 members on average. Again, it's about the total number of gang members, not delegates.
