Corrected entry: At the last minute of "Save Our Station" when Stanley said, "This is it. This is our last minute," the time is 11:59 and nine seconds. When R.J. takes the plug out, it is exactly 12:00. If one count between those, it is only 13 seconds, not 51. (01:24:30)

The Meaning of Life (1983)
Corrected entry: In the marching scene when the guy said he wants to be home with the wife and kids, when you see a shot of the back of his head, you see his mouth move, but you don't hear anything.
Correction: No, immediately as he starts to talk the camera switches from behind him to in front. There is no mistake here.

Good Burger (1997)
Corrected entry: When Dexter hits the teacher's car with his car, the teacher is in the car. How could the teacher be there when Dexter got out of school before him?
Correction: Who's to say that Dexter didn't sidetrack to some other location prior to his arrival in the neighborhood, giving Mr. Wheat (that's the teacher's name) more than enough time to make it to the same location? There are several exterior shots of Dexter driving around without any conversation voice-over, or anything else that matter, to indicate a sense of "real time."

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Corrected entry: When Chosen One is getting a pound of nuts, once the Chosen One leaves, the guy gets a cell phone on his left side, but it's his right hand, so you can tell that it's someone else's hand that's holding the phone.
Correction: No, the hand holding the cell phone is a left hand.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Corrected entry: When Chosen One flies out the window when it is on fire you hear him cry, yet when he lands on the ground his mouth and eyes are shut - fake baby.
Correction: This is obviously deliberately, it's a comedy movie, that involves "bad tricks" deliberately.
26th Oct 2004
SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
MuscleBob BuffPants / Squidward, the Unfriendly Ghost - S1-E11
Corrected entry: When Spongebob is about to throw the anchor he turns to his right and blows into one of his inflatable arms and both arms blow up.
Correction: There is only one "blow up the arms" hole which is on his right arm. If he blows into one it blows up the other one two.
7th Nov 2004
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Corrected entry: When all the people are smacking Chosen One with the stick, when he is laying down, between shots his body changes angle.
Correction: This can be accounted for by the constant smacking on his body by the sticks, it certainly would move him about some.
9th Nov 2004
Scary Movie 3 (2003)
Corrected entry: When the aliens are standing outside of the door and Cindy sets the knife under the door to see the aliens it is dark outside but when they go out to fight the aliens its is midday.
Correction: No. They're just in a darkened area. Daylight can be seen through the window numerous times in this scene, and light shines down through the coal shute when Mahalik arrives.
4th Sep 2004
Airplane (1980)
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, the number of seats in each row change and the number of aisles change.
Correction: There are three seats on one side and two on the other. Also, there is more than one area of seats (first class, coach, etc), and the number of rows vary between them.
8th Sep 2004
Starsky & Hutch (2004)
Corrected entry: When the cheerleaders are done practicing, the cheerleader says that the one who was dating the man that died is wearing a yellow top. When the camera shows her, she is wearing a white top.
Correction: She takes off the yellow top before the scene in the locker room; she's wearing a white top underneath.
23rd Sep 2004
Shrek (2001)
Corrected entry: Shrek and Donkey could not have made jokes about Lord Farquaad's height since they never saw him anywhere before except on a balcony. Shrek has never heard of him before, so cannot have known. (The producers acknowledge this oversight in the DVD commentary.)
Correction: This has been acknowledged several times, there is a deleted scene in which the 3 of them have a discussion regarding the swamp, the scene was taken out but we can assume that they still have met, we just weren't shown this.
6th Sep 2004
UHF (1989)
Corrected entry: At the very end of the movie when the main character's in a different setting, there are thick black lines in the background, but when George Newman says, "I knew she was gonna say that." and they kiss, the lines are gone. (01:31:05)
Correction: It's a fantasy, all happening in George's head. Anything can happen.
Being a fantasy sequence doesn't make a scene exempt from mistakes.
8th Sep 2004
The Naked Gun (1988)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when Jane is about to kill Frank and they're talking, they get on the big arena screen. The problem is: who is taping them? Where's the microphone? (01:19:55 - 01:20:40)
Correction: When Jane gets hypnotized and walks towards Drebin, Dredin, Ed and a couple of people stand at the edge of the balcony from where Ludwig takes his last fall; one of the people is a camera man with his piece running. As they become aware of the threat, the camera man is seen edging around Frank and Jane - and then the big screen shows the scenes between the two in public. Obviously it's said camera man's work.
8th Oct 2004
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
Corrected entry: At the end, when Fat Bastard says he lost 180 pounds, he is a lot skinnier. But in the first movie, Dr. Evil says he weights a metric ton which is 2204 pounds. When he lost 180 pounds, he would still weigh 2024 and not be that skinny.
Correction: It was most likley a exaggeration that Dr. Evil was making. He wouldn't even be able to move if he was that weight.
1st Nov 2004
The Haunted Mansion (2003)
Corrected entry: When Eddie Murphy gets out from behind the painting, he sees a lot of paintings down the hallway. However when he walks by one of them, he is at the end of the hallway.
Correction: When one walks down a hallway, you eventually come to the end. We just don't see Eddie walk past every picture in the hallway.
30th Oct 2004
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Corrected entry: At the Crane School when the people are doing their little "chant", their mouths aren't moving at all.
Correction: That is supposed to be the joke of the scene. This is neither an audio or deliberate mistake.
25th Oct 2004
Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)
Corrected entry: When the guy is run over outside of the club, he flies back a long way. About 15 seconds later, he gets up from the spot where he got hit.
Correction: This was done intentionally given the circumstances of the gag and there is enough time in between the two shots.
8th Sep 2004
UHF (1989)
Corrected entry: In the Rambo Fantasy, when George turns the plane on, if you look closely, he's actually turning it off. (01:17:45)
Correction: Yes, but this is a fantasy scene of George's. He is not a trained pilot, and can only base his fantasy on what he remembers seeing in movies, so he gets this wrong (either from the character mistake of false memory, or from seeing a movie that got this wrong as well).
11th Sep 2004
The Master of Disguise (2002)
Corrected entry: When Bowman captures Fabrizzio if you watch Bowman you never see him throw his cigar into the Dumpster because the same exact one is found later.
4th Sep 2004
The Master of Disguise (2002)
Corrected entry: When Pistachio and his Grandfather are singing "Who, Why, Where, How," watch in the background before they were singing, then look at it while they're singing, the store in the background changes and goes back to the one it has before.
Correction: The store arrangement never changes. It seems it does, but this is due to the different angles. In wideshots from the side, we see "Pasticceria Franz", but then when it closeups on Pistachio, we see part of a dark-green shop which is directly behind him. But once again, the shops / restaurants around the are always the same, they just seem different due to the shots being angled differently.
