Vegas Vacation (1997)

Corrected entry: It seems very odd that Rusty neglects to mention the fact that he won 4 cars when Clark mentions that he lost $22,000. One or two of those cars could easily be sold to make up that money. The Dodge Viper that he won could easily be sold for $60,000 even if it's a base model with no modifications.

NyQuil

Correction: A few things are wrong with this. First, it is quite possible that Rusty, being a teenager, didn't consider that the cars could have been sold. He knew that he won them and cared about that. A character mistake and not a movie mistake. Second, the time that it would have taken to sell the cars would have kept them in Vegas for longer than they had planned. Thirdly, it would have ruined the end when they drive home in them.

Independence Day (1996)

Corrected entry: When Will Smith pulls the ring out of his locker, he drops it and it falls to the right of him. When Harry Connick Jr. picks up the ring, he picks it up to the left of Will. (00:35:15)

NyQuil

Correction: It could have bounced.

U-571 (2000)

Corrected entry: When the Americans first board the U-571, they are looking for the "Christmas Tree" which is a series of red and white lights. When they first see it there is a red light on, however when they turn back to it seconds later all the lights are white, or clear. (00:51:15)

NyQuil

Correction: Since they were preparing the boat for dive, the light could have cleared between shots.

PCU (1994)

Corrected entry: When Moles is on the radio giving the announcment he say, "10 PM at the Pit..." but when George Clinton is talking to Cecilia the clock on the wall says 12:45.

NyQuil

Correction: The party is scheduled for 10pm, but noone gets there until later. There are several shots of the members of the pit sitting around bored.

Futurama (1999)

Correction: And a thousand years in the future, after alien invasions have laid waste to the entire planet (twice.), the ice caps have melted and refrozen, and our grasp of history is such that we think that the moon was colonized by Jackie Gleeson and the crew of a whaling vessel, that little-known fact has been lost. Go figure.

Corrected entry: It was nice for the predators to give Lex the spear at the end of the movie but maybe they could have given her a ride home or some clothing. She was stranded on Antarctica at night with no jacket and a long distance from where the ship was docked.

NyQuil

Correction: When they are on the hunt, Predators are expected to be entirely autonomous. By showing Lex the respect of offering her a trophy, they recognize her as a warrior and would expect her to be able to take care of herself.

Phoenix

Correction: I just finished watching the movie and had this same thought. However, after the Predator ship leaves, the camera shows the Snowcat, which is the proper name for the snow tractor, with its headlights still on. She could have driven back to where they left the ship in relative comfort.

The Frighteners (1996)

Corrected entry: In the cemetery Lucy hits the FBI agent square in the face with a skull yet he gets up a second afterwards. If someone got hit in the face with an object like that it would be more than enough to render them unconscious for a few minutes.

NyQuil

Correction: In the end, before he dies, Dammers, the FBI guy, opens his shirt, revealing deep scars and says, "My body is a road map of pain." He was probably used to being hurt, so the skull didn't hurt him. Plus he was really pissed off, so the adrenaline could have kept him going.

Corrected entry: Why doesnt Elza just drink from the cup while they are still in the room with the knight before Indy takes it to his father?

NyQuil

Correction: The Grail doesn't grant immortality after one drink - it requires the owner to drink regularly to maintain their life. Ilsa needed to take the Grail with her, hence the collapse of the cave and her subsequent demise.

Air Force One (1997)

Corrected entry: After the dogfights with the Migs Harrison Ford calls the leader of the F15 group 'Bob.' However a couple shots later you see that his first name is 'Jack' as it says on the side of the F15.

NyQuil

Correction: Harrison Ford is not talking to the leader of the friendly figher planes. He is talking to a Colonel that is helping him fly the plane.

Corrected entry: If Rufus is from the future where Wyld Stallyns music has changed why did he have to make sure Bill and Ted passed their report. If the world was like that then they obviously passed it.

NyQuil

Correction: But NOT until Rufus actually goes back to help them. It's what's called a "causality loop;" Rufus's future doesn't become firm until Rufus assists Bill and Ted.

Corrected entry: At the end of the film it becomes apparent that Dom has badly injured his arm, so much so that he can't move it. However as he is pulling away in the Supra he manages to execute a perfect "e-brake" turn that would require two working hands.

NyQuil

Correction: Yes, Dom's arm is badly injured at the end, but he's just making a sharp U-turn that makes the tires squeal a little. It's not an e-brake turn. If you look closely when Dom drives off, you can see him turning with his uninjured right arm. The same arm one would use to pull on the e-brake. Thus, he could not have been using the e-brake.

AFosteROTC

Corrected entry: Just prior to the attack scene from the Orc riders you can see Aragon's horse changes from brown to white, then back to brown again.

NyQuil

Correction: There is one shot of Aragorn about to ride off where the main part of the horse you can see is the side of the saddle, and it's reflecting light and looks white, but the horse is definitely brown (you can see a bit of it at the edges of the shot).
