Corrected entry: During the final battle scene Christian Bale is seen to spin round a few times holding a large sword and slashing the four or five guards round him to pieces. As he does this we see his nice white tux/toga sprayed right across its middle with nice bright red blood. yet after he has finished chopping everyone up he still has a lovely clean top.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Corrected entry: After Niobe's car windshield gets smashed by Morpheus we see a side view of Morpheus jumping from Niobe's car to the semi truck. In this view we can see that Niobe's windshield is no longer broken.
Correction: Yes, it is. From the side, the only part of the windshield that is visible is the driver's side half of the windshield, which was mostly intact. You can still see the faint white traces of cracks even from that angle, though.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Obi-Wan is being held in captivity on Geonosis and is speaking with Dooku, watch Dooku as he circles Obi-Wan while he talks. At one point after a shot of Obi-Wan, a shot of Dooku has his hands clasped across his midsection, but also notice he is amazingly holding the sides of his cloak. Four hands Dooku? You are on the dark side aren't you?
Correction: At times Dooku has his right arm lying across his stomach, but while he is doing that, his left hand is at his side. Then after a short while he drops his right arm to his side as well. He never clasps both hands across his middle.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Anakin is in Padme's bedroom and he is whining about Obi Wan, he is floating a ball with the force. The ball's reflection shows in the window, but you cant see Anakin's reflection at all.
Correction: The ball's reflection shows more obviously because it is closer to the window where it was originally placed. As Anakin pulls it to his hand, you can see his hand reflected in the window as well, very faintly. The rest of his body does not show a reflection because he is too far away from the window.

Three Musketeers (1993)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Charlie Sheen is reading the Bible to the young woman in her bed-chamber, he is quoting a very early verse in the book of Genesis. His Bible is open to about the middle, not the beginning.
Correction: It's reasonable to assume a student of the Cardinal that was as pious and devout as Aramis once was would have most of the Bible committed to memory. Given Aramis's frequent quotations from the Bible, while also keeping in mind his frequent "lapses" such as drinking, wenching and so forth, it's also reasonable to assume that Aramis had the relevant passage memorized and was only keeping the Bible open for the appearance of piety.

Correction: A close look at the blood spray from the final slash shows that its direction is sideways, parallel to Preston's body, rather than straight towards him. The blood mist shows up very well against the white of his tunic, but as he spins the blood droplets move past him at a different rate than he is spinning, indicating that they never touched him at all. Also, using frame advance reveals that as the blood disappears in the same shot, the tunic is still bright white. This of course begs the question of why the floor itself is clear afterwards - the blood had to go somewhere - but at least we know why Cleric Preston's tunic is free of blood.
