Corrected entry: When the train goes speeding by with its interior ablaze, how is this possible? The aliens use one beam to kill living creatures and another to destroy structures and vehicles. Even if the aliens use their human killing beam instead of the more powerful beam, there is no way that the train could still stay on the track at that speed.

The Girl Next Door (2004)
Corrected entry: The morning after the prom, a crisis breaks out when it is discovered that the tape has been stolen. Kelly has the tape, and threatens to play it for the parents and school official. When he does, it is fully edited, with complete titles. When the guys were making the tape they were using three cameras. It is highly unlikely that early the next morning this completed production would have existed at all, even if Kelly had somehow broken in unnoticed to steal the material.
Correction: That was all part of the plan - the material had to be recorded and formatted within a very short period of time. In my opinion, Eli's "minions" and himself stood up all night editing the material.

Battle Royale (2000)
Corrected entry: Kiriyama uses both grenades in the clinic. However, he does not have both grenades, since one fell out of his bag (hard to see behind the caption) as he was walking along the beach, moments after obtaining them.
Correction: The grenade didn't fall out of the bag - I just watched the scene in a slo-mo about 10 times. The sound that you hear is Kiriyama stepping in a puddle.

Alien Resurrection (1997)
Corrected entry: Why did the two aliens gang up and kill the third one to escape the holding cell? Later in the movie, it is established that these mutated aliens can apparently regurgitate their own acid blood as a weapon, so slaughtering the other alien wasn't really necessary; they all could've just vomited some acid on the glass or the floor and gotten free without dwindling their numbers.
Correction: It took a lot of acid blood to burn a hole in the floor, and vomitting produces little amounts - just enough to hurt an enemy. It's not really a mistake - the aliens did it the faster and more reliable way.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: Angela has to keep taking the anti virus so she won't mutate, but at the end she's been without her father or the Umbrella Corporation for three weeks. Wouldn't she be highly contagious? Even if she hadn't used all of her anti virus yet, where exactly did the group think they were going to get more? Before long Angela will be a flesh eating zombie.
Correction: As we saw in the first Resident Evil movie, a small injection of antivirus is enough. We also saw that Angela had a little case with at least 2 containers filled with antivirus that would last her a long time - at least 3 weeks. Everything happening after that has to deal with the third movie.

Correction: The aliens couldn't possibly wipe out everything made by humans - in fact, Ray's wife's house in Boston is almost intact. We don't know the train's destination, nor when and where it left. For all we know, it could be destroyed as soon as it got out of sight. As for being on fire, the station it passed through could have been destroyed as it went through, causing the fire and the death of everyone on board.
