Corrected entry: Even though Roman is "parked so close to the derby" this would not satisfy the house arrest thing. For one you have to have a phone for the ankle bracelet and I doubt that cell phones work, since that would defeat the purpose. (00:20:00)

Godzilla (1998)
Corrected entry: When the old guys snags the "big one" and realizes he needs to run his chair disappears from shot to shot. (00:24:40)
Correction: The only time the chair is hard to see is the shot from well behind him, looking at the approaching swell, but the chair is there, tho faintly visible with all the rain in the shot.

Godzilla (1998)
Corrected entry: When the mayor's helicopter lands it makes a screeching tyre sound (like when an airplane touches down). The heliport was wet and the tires touched straight down and therefore wouldn't make a screeching sound.
Correction: Cars braking hard in the rain screech the tires, so the water is not a factor. The front tire actually stops well-above ground, then drops the last few feet very hard. It's not impossible that it would have made such a sound.

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Riggs pulls the stilts out from under the house you can see the rear end come out from under the truck but then he backs up and jerks it again.
Correction: The axle is never shown coming free. At one point, the rear end of the truck lifts upward, allowing the wheels to drop quite a bit, but this is the effect of unloading the trucks weight from its rear leaf springs (jack up a car with a scissor jack under the rocker panel to see the same effect). Regardless, the cable he is using is attached to the truck frame, not the axle, so he can yank like this 'til the transmission fails and the axle mounts will never be at risk.

The Big Hit (1998)
Corrected entry: When Melvin is kissing the girl in front of the video store and Cisco rearends him you can see the rear of the Firebird cave in and the Jag's front bumper touches its rear tyres. When they are stuck in the tree they climb out of the hatchback and it is fine. (01:16:04 - 01:16:45)
Correction: Actually, the collision is shown from the right side of both cars, so we can only see the damage on that side. All subsequent shots of the car are from the front/left side. If the Jag hit at even a slight angle to the Firebird, the damage would be much more severe on one side than the other.

Godzilla (1998)
Corrected entry: When they load up in the HMMWV (Hummer) in the warehouse there are 6 guys. military HMMWVs only have 4 seats (very uncomfortable ones at that).
Correction: The Hummers in the warehouse are actually civilian Hummers which are being disguised to look like military Humvees.(Notice when Matthew Broderick and the French guy first walk into the warehouse the humvee's are being spray painted the camoflauge color "You can buy anything in America"). Civilian Hummers can be modified to seat up to 8 people.

Godzilla (1998)
Corrected entry: When they are at the MP checkpoint trying to get past the gate in the HMMWV (Hummer) you can see an interior panel with a speaker over the driver's side window. Military Hummers don't have interior panels, much less stereos and speakers. They are totally bare necessities inside. They don't even have keyed ignition. There is an on off switch for ignition.
Correction: The Hummers in the warehouse are actually civilian Hummers which are being disguised to look like military Humvees.(Notice when Matthew Broderick and the French guy first walk into the warehouse the humvee's are being spray painted the camoflauge color "You can buy anything in America"). This is the reason why the Hummer has an interior panel w/speakers, as well as power windows. Its actually a civilian model.

Shooter (2007)
Corrected entry: When Gunny cuts through the back seat of the FBI cruiser and pulls out the medic bag he grabs the quick clot and uses it. He has been in the mountains for 36 months as stated on screen so how did he know about quick clot and how to use it. I am a medic in the military and we have just recently (within the last 6 months) been trained on and issued quick clot. Quick clot is very dangerous if not used properly and CAN do more harm than good.
Correction: Apparently he just got lucky. He was really out of options and did not have very much choice either use the quick clot that he found (the name describes it enough for anybody to know what its for) or bleed to death. He made a snap decision and it ended up paying off and being correct. Also he was using the internet at his cabin on his laptop. Who is to say he did not research the quick clot on military pages while surfing since he is into stuff like that.
If he really did research the quick clot on military pages while surfing, then he would know that you don't quick clot on anything other than the arms, or legs.
He would also know that you don't open quick clot with your mouth. If even a small amount of it gets in your mouth it will cause a very large amount of pain, and a massive case of cotton mouth.

Broken Arrow (1996)
Corrected entry: Wilkins and the rest of the Air Force team running this exercise are supposedly at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, as stated by Pritchett when he's talking about the reporters in lawn chairs. There is no way they would have felt the tremors from an underground explosion in Utah.
Correction: Pritchett states that the "jet" took off from there, and that the lawnchair campers are going to know that it did not come back. Then Pritchett hops on a private jet, and flies to meet the Air Force Team at their underground base in Utah. No one in Missouri is ever shown feeling the tremors at all, it's the base in Utah that is shown after the bomb goes off.

Dreamcatcher (2003)
Corrected entry: When Henry and Otto go to get Duds, his "mom" says he has leukemia. Isn't it odd that a doctor can find leukemia but not tell that he is really an alien in an assumed shape? Is his "mom" an alien in disguise too? Some say he's not an alien, but in the final scene he sheds his human form and resumes his true form, then he envelopes the other alien and self destructs himself and the other alien.
Correction: It is never stated that a "doctor" found Leukemia, she just says he has it. Most likely she is protecting Duds because a man she has never met is in her house, and might think of him a little strange without a cover story. Duds may have bestowed the same "gift" on his mom, and she looks after him the same way the 4 friends do. Even Henry doesn't give his identity away when he and Otto are in the car on the way, he just casually explains that Duds is special.

The Core (2003)
Corrected entry: When they are telling Rebeccah that she has exceptional navigational skills and is reassigned to the team they keep calling her "Major" but prior to that when the Army General is talking to her about how her crew crashed the space shuttle she has a silver leaf on her epaulette. Silver is Lieutenant Colonel, major would be a gold leaf. Major (Gold Leaf) is a step down from Lieutenant Colonel (Silver Leaf). Major is an 0-4, LTCol is an 0-5. Demoting an officer is a congressional act and it wouldn't have been done until the investigation was completed; she wouldn't have been demoted out of simple suspicion of the crash being her fault.
Correction: She was a Major the whole time, she was never wearing Lieutenant Colonel rank. I watched that scene as well as other scenes where she was in her dress uniform in slow-mo just to make sure her leaves were gold and not silver.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Corrected entry: The first time Brian's car gets hit with the ESD it shorts out his electrical system but for some reason he is acting like his brakes don't work. National DOT standards and all the laws that govern automotive design and manufacture strictly require that no part of the braking system rely on electronics. This is because electronics are not reliable enough for such a vital part of driving safety. Even if illegally modified, a racer wouldn't make his brakes rely on the electrics for the same reason. While the brakes might be less responsive, they wouldn't be as unresponsive as depicted.
Correction: An ABS system, on most new models, IS an electronic component of a braking system, and would be shorted by the ESD. The reason the brakes become less responsive is because the engine stalls, causing the power brake booster to be inoperable due to lack of vacuum from the engine. This may cause the brakes to be as unresponsive as shown. Having driven a 67 Camaro SS with no power brakes, you need to apply a lot of pressure to the manual brakes to stop. And also having driven cars with failed power boosters, it is at least as much, if not more, pressure required to stop the car.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Corrected entry: When Brian and Rome decide to chase the boat in the Yenko they have to back up. You see the rear tire spinning in the dirt then it stops spinning but you can hear the other tire spinning. This is not possible if this is really a Yenko. In a Yenko Camaro the suspension consisted of a 12-bolt with 4.10 gears, Posi-traction, multileaf springs, and special shocks.
Correction: Even if it was a real Yenko, it's more than possible that someone, somewhere, during the car's over 30 year life would change the rear end. Positracs are great for straight line traction, but notoriously poor for handling. If the car was used for competitive street racing, someone could have swapped the rear end for a limited slip differential for better handling characteristics. We don't know this particular car's history.
Corrected entry: When the wooden-eyed guy and the fat bald one are practicing eating, and the little monkey lands head first on the cannon and gets knocked out and falls off the cannon. The monkey is immortal too and therefore can not be knocked out.
Correction: Firstly, Grapple and Mallet are the ones sitting at the table, to be as Mallet puts it "ready when the time comes" to eat, not Pintel (bald) and Ragetti (fake eye). Jack (the monkey) hits the hard cannon (Elizabeth threw him overboard), he shakes his head from the jolt, then loses his balance and falls off into the water - he is never even 'knocked out'.
18th Nov 2003
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Corrected entry: Does anyone else think it odd to have hydraulics and huge sound systems in "race" cars? Hydraulics add a considerable amount of weight to a car. The last thing you want in a race is extra weight. More than one car is seen racing with big sound systems. Brian's and Rome's car both have big sound systems.
Correction: Note that these are "Street Racers" and many wouldn't know the difference between a "Race Car" and a "Rice-Burner." Also, many of the cars are built to show-off or attract Girls, so sacrificing handling for Kick-@$$ sound systems and Neon that add weight is seen as a fair trade-off.
17th Nov 2003
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Corrected entry: If Eva knew she would be collecting Brian and Roman's licenses to run a background check wouldn't they give them aliases so Veron wouldn't know who their real names and could have them killed or hunt them down himself when he got out?
Correction: If she did do that wouldn't Verone think it would be strange that when he had them followed he was surprised that other people called them other names like at Tej's. By the time Verone gets out they could be in witness protection or moved somewhere.
7th Sep 2003
Escape From L.A. (1996)
Corrected entry: How did they keep that '59 Caddy so cherry? Everything on the whole island is scavenged, burned out, broken, beat up and whatever but this '59 Caddy looks like it has never left the showroom.
8th Oct 2003
Dreamcatcher (2003)
Corrected entry: When Pete and Henry find the woman why did they insist on making her talk to them? Why didn't they just read her mind? It would have saved Pete a punch in the nads.
Correction: They can't read minds. The group is tuned in mainly to each other. The virus gives normal people the ability to communicate telepathically, so when Henry gets infected this ability is intensified.
4th Feb 2004
Bad Boys II (2003)
Corrected entry: After the chase scene with the morgue van the female forensics tech is explaining that the bodies are cut open, the organs taken out, and sewed up again. The body she is kneeling over is still sewed up. How could she possibly know the organs are missing without an open examination of the bodies or an x-ray?
Correction: The stitching pattern, and the fact that the body fell out of a morgue's van, tells her that the body's been embalmed.
28th Sep 2003
Final Destination 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene with the airbag right before the airbag goes off you see the pipe over her left shoulder beside her head and below the level of her ears. How did it come out of the middle of her forehead?
Correction: Right before the airbag goes off, you see the girl lean down for something and she moves her head to the middle of the steering wheel, causing the spike to go through her head.
