Corrected entry: In Episode 45: Welcome to Camp Shawnee, the first minute was allegedly filmed exactly where The Confrontation ended, but there are some inconsistencies. Paris' hair is different, Paris is wearing the fur that a second before was on her lap, a photo has appeared in front of the lamp on the table next to the couch and Reba has appeared out-of-nowhere in the kitchen doorway in the background. This has led to speculation that The Confrontation and possibly the feud between Paris and Nicole was staged.

The Simple Life (2003)
Corrected entry: In episode 17, when they originally get into the police cruiser you notice that the car is facing out. However when it shows them pulling away, the car is backing out of the parking space. Also when it shows them first getting into it, you will see that Nicole gets into the drivers seat first, but the next scene shows Paris in the drivers seat.
Correction: Can there really be any mistakes for a reality show? It is a camera crew following Paris and Nicole around. Everyone knows there is a camera crew. And there isn't really any acting, no one is following any scripted scenes so can there be mistakes?

The Simple Life (2003)
Corrected entry: In Episode 9 the girls get some money from a minivan for toll. When they zoom out to show Nicole dancing you see a person in the background who had stopped the minivan: probably a production assistant for the show who's reimbursing the minivan driver the $6.

The Simple Life (2003)
Corrected entry: In episode 11, when the girls are playing "Hide and Seek", as Paris goes to hide, if you look closely there is someone hiding in the back of their trailer.

Hannibal Rising (2007)
Corrected entry: I may need correcting here, but if the 1950's police (especially the war crimes inspector) believe that Hannibal Lecter has committed murders, Hannibal must be a wanted man, with his name and photo on a wanted persons list? At the start of Red Dragon when Hannibal is captured, Hannibal still uses the name Dr Hannibal Lecter. Surely his name would have been known to the authorities and he would have been captured (and most likely found guilty) years before red dragon.
Correction: First, there is the level of technology for the 50s. Wanted posters and what not had to be sent via mail. Police agencies could communicate by phone, but not being able to attach a face to a name would slow down arrests. Second, as far as the authorities were concerned, Hannibal died in the explosion on the boat. No reason to search, or send warnings, about a man you assume to be dead.

Jumanji (1995)
Corrected entry: In the third to last scene we watch young Alan and Sarah carrying a wooden box tied up by rope that contains the Jumanji game. They throw it off a bridge into a river in their hometown. But in the final scene we see that the board game alone is lying in the sand on a beach side in Spain. So the board game managed to break out of the box it was in, and travel all the way to spain. Highly improbable.
Correction: The entire movie is pretty much improbable. The rope could have rotted away. Fishes or wave action could have opened the box. People still throw bottle with messages inside into the oceans to see where they end up. Improbable doesn't always equal impossible.

Transformers (2007)
Corrected entry: Bumblebee following Sam to the used car lot so he can be purchased is a cute scene, but would create a bevy of off-camera problems. For one, the lot doesn't actually own the car, as Bernie Mac points out, so turning over the pink slip and ownership papers would be extremely problematic and would grind the movie to a halt as the characters try to figure out what is going on.
Correction: Maybe Bernie Mac's character is a bit shady and ready to deal with hot merchandise.

Legally Blonde (2001)
Corrected entry: After Chutney confesses that she accidentally shot and killed her father, the judge tells the bailiff to take her away and charge her with the murder of her father. However, since killing her father was not premeditated, she should be charged with manslaughter, not murder. A judge who knows the meaning of "mens rea" should know the difference between murder and manslaughter.
Correction: The premeditation was there to kill somebody. It doesn't matter that it was the wrong person. And, this would be a legal debate among the attorneys, so it isn't really a mistake.

Planet of the Apes (1968)
Corrected entry: All of the evolutionary and geographical changes are supposed to have happened within a 2000 year period? It would take hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years for those changes to occur, no matter what the nature of the catastrophe that had befallen the Earth.
Correction: In the fourth movie of the series, the apes had already been brought into the servitude of humans. They had been taught mundane duties such as filing, delivering messages, serving food\drinks and so on. Only the best and brightest were kept and the rest were executed. They had even begun to speak by the end of the fourth. Evolution had a nice helping hand from humans in picking the genetically superior apes. Once the apes were in control, they aided in the de-evolution of the human race (in the 3rd movie, it was shown that a group of intelligent, mutated humans did survive). As far as the geographic\climactic changes, we really have no idea what happened in that 2000 year period. How many nuclear weapons were released? Were there any other outside influences adding to the changes(meteors, earthquakes, volcanoes.)? Or was that even New York shown at the end? The statue of liberty may have been moved after destruction.

Little House on the Prairie (1974)
Corrected entry: It was against school board rules in those days for a married woman to be a teacher. Laura never taught school after she was married. Also Miss Beadle would have had to quit once she became Mrs. Sims.
Correction: I'm trying to figure out if this is based on historical facts or the shows storyline. Either way, it doesn't really matter. In the show, Caroline Ingalls and Mrs Olsen regularly substituted. Mr Applewood appeared for one episode. In real life, When Laura returned to Walnut Grove, she learned Nellie now had a rival: The school teacher's daughter. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Little-House-Prairie-1131/Walnut-Grove-Teacher.htm http://webpages.marshall.edu/~irby1/laura/life.html.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: If the mayor knows about both slayers (if he didn't know before hand, his assassin Trick would have told him) then surely he would have realised they were a threat and tried to eliminate them earlier. I appreciate it wouldn't have benefited the season at all but for a highly efficient mayor who was determined, his plan would go without a hitch. It seems pretty careless.
Correction: Faith was turned evil by the end of the season and Buffy wasn't really a threat by herself. The "Scooby Gang" helped out quite a bit. And maybe the mayor was just plain overconfident in his abilities and severely underestimated the scooby gang's. The French built an impenetrable wall along their border with Germany to stave off an invasion. Germany responded by going around the wall, invading Belgium and then France.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Corrected entry: Buffy manages to get right into Faith's apartment and has to turn the stereo off before Faith notices her there. In that amount of time and if Faith is being that oblivious, Buffy could have easily killed her by throwing the knife or using a crossbow, etc.
Correction: That's what separates the heroes from the villains: A hero will kill as a result of a fair fight, while a villain will do it from behind. It took nearly a hundred years before snipers were openly welcomed in the US military.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Fear, Itself - S4-E4
Corrected entry: The little demon is standing right next to the hole in the floor where Buffy ripped up the floorboards - so wouldn't her foot have gone through the board when she stamped hard enough to squash it?
Correction: How hard do you have to stomp to kill a bug? Or a mouse? Normal body weight easily does the trick.

South Park (1997)
Corrected entry: When Cartman walks into the Church to yell "Cripple Fight," Kyle's family, which is Jewish, is in the church.
Correction: I've already corrected this once and it is back with no changes: There could be many reasons for a Jewish family to be in a church. It could have been "Friendship Day" and were someone's guests. They could have stopped in to see the Christian service.

Total Recall (1990)
Corrected entry: When Cohagen is boasting about how his plan to kill Cuato was a success, he mentions that Richter wasn't aware of the plan. But this makes no sense, because if Richter had managed to kill Quaid (and he had plenty of chances to do so) then the whole plan would have failed. Cohagen would have definitely made sure that Richter had orders not to kill him.

The Monster Squad (1987)
Corrected entry: They make a big scene that a virgin is needed to read the text from Van Helsing's diary in order to get rid of the monsters. After Patrick's sister fails because it turns out she isn't a virgin, everyone freaks out until they realize Phoebe could help them out. Not once is it mentioned the virgin had to be a female. So why couldn't the 12 year old boys read from the diary and get rid of the monsters?
Correction: First: 4 out of 5 definitions listed for "virgin" refer to females. http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/virgin Second: In all of mythology and folklore, virgin always refers to females. The gods asked for a virgin to be sacrificed, the women/girls were gathered not the people that have never had sex. When some bit of folklore needs to be read aloud by a virgin, odds are they are asking for a girl.
You would be correct in the correction, however that doesn't explain how Scary German Guy can summons the vortex. And yes I will say that because when Dracula was going after Phoebe, Scary German Guy was still reciting the text yet Phoebe wasn't repeating it, just whimpering. Yet the vortex still showed up.
But Phoebe repeated the exact phrase the peasant girl did in the opening scene, those seem to be the key words that unlock the vortex.
I understand where you're coming from, but I'd disagree. Looked up a couple clips of the scene on YouTube, and they make a point of showing Phoebe repeating most of the words near-perfectly (at least as close to perfectly as a small child under distress could do) between whimpers. And I think you could make a compelling argument that even if she doesn't say them all 100% perfectly - say she's just barely whimpering some of them out between cries - it'd still count for the spell.
I disagree. I've watched this movie hundreds of times. All we hear is her whimpering because she's scared. No indication is given that she's still talking.
I just looked up the scene again. They show her repeating the words perfectly and completing the spell after Frankenstein throws Dracula away from her. There's really only a few seconds in the entire scene when we hear her whimpering instead of saying the words perfectly. I still think it's within reason to argue that she did enough for the spell to work, but we'll just have to agree to disagree.

School for Scoundrels (2006)
Corrected entry: At one point, at the parking control HQ, a report is being typed, describing a car in violation of parking as a 2 door sedan. A sedan by definition is a 4 door. A 2 door would be a coupe, sports car, anything but a sedan. As parking control officers, the description would have to be uniform, to avoid having tickets thrown out over inaccurate descriptions of the vehicle, so it would not likely be a character mistake.
Correction: http://www.answers.com/topic/sedan-1 Several versions of the body style exist, including four-door, two-door and fastback models.

The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning (2007)
Corrected entry: This film is supposed to be a prequel to the movie w/ Jessica Simpson, but the doors don't open on the General Lee. That didn't happen till the middle of the Simpson movie, after Hogg's men total the General.
Correction: IMDB.com has it as a prequel to the TV series, not the movie.
22nd Mar 2007
Heroes (2006)
Corrected entry: How in the world did Ando, a foreign national, get a job as a security guard, in a casino, guarding priceless artifacts?
Correction: Place a call to Hiro's dad? His father is somehow wrapped up in the unnamed organization, knows of Hiro's powers, and is somehow connected with Linderman.
15th Dec 2006
Stripes (1981)
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie ALL the characters salute completely improperly. As a comedy this is not unexpected, however, in this movie the high ranking officers are depicted correctly and accurately within military decorum, yet they also salute totally inappropriately. Specifically, at the end of the salute your arm is dropped straight down to your side at the attention position immediately, which they fail to do. This is a mistake regardless of this being a comedy, drama or any other genre.
Correction: The fact is this: Bad salutes are a part of everyday life in the military. No matter what someone should know, no matter what someone should do, sloppy salutes happen.
Correction: Can there be any mistakes for a reality show? It is a camera crew following Paris and Nicole around. Everyone knows there is a camera crew. And there isn't really any acting, no one is following any scenes so can there be continuity mistakes?
