Gran Torino (2008)

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie the license plates say "Michigan", but in the scene when Clint Eastwood calls his son, his Doctor's note/report says "State CA" (California).

Correction: The area on the medical records that says Los Angeles, CA is listing Walt's brother. That is apparently the family section of the questionaire.

Ghost Rider (2007)

Corrected entry: When Ghost Rider, is riding his bike into town towards at the end of the movie he's shown riding through some sort of swamp like water (possibly because of the 'water' demon). After he defeats the water demon he climbs out of the water to his bike which is now sitting on dry land.

Rollin Garcia Jr

Correction: The bike can and does ride/drive itself. As evident when the Ghost Rider is breaking out of jail and the bike rides through the garage jumping over the cop making his rounds.

Corrected entry: When Ice Cube is yelling at the kids in the car, Big Al is acting like he can hear him through two windows. But when Ice Cube is at the lake having a tantrum, the kids can't hear him through ONE window.

Correction: Big Al cannot hear what Nick is saying to the kids. He is simply reacting to Nick's actions and body language, which clearly shows that Nick is giving them the riot act.

Corrected entry: In the scene at the warehouse, where Ian and Erin work, Ian is holding a nail gun. When he is lifted up on the forklift he is holding the gun pointed down, but when it cuts to a frontal shot of him, he is holding the gun pointing upwards, in front of his face.

Correction: Just as he reaches the top with the forklift the camera is looking up from his left side you can see him raise the gun up with his right hand.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: Erin's head striking the nail gun would not trigger a shot. It requires a simultaneous pull of the trigger plus depressing the trigger safety (as Ian did shooting at the pigeons) to fire a nail. Some guns can be converted to "bump fire", but it requires some disassembly, and Ian would not have done that because he had not eliminated all the pigeons.

Correction: All three of these movies depict "death" manipulating objects to accomplish it's plan. "Death" could have been holding the trigger in when her head hit the safety.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: When the kids get off the roller coaster and the ride starts, Wendy is dragged outside by the security guards. About 5 seconds after Wendy has been dragged out the roller coaster crashes. So basically, the roller coaster managed to climb up the huge hill and crash in the space of 10 seconds, even though it took at least 30 seconds to climb the hill during Wendy's premonition.

Correction: The door she comes out of right before the coaster crashes is an access door for staff, not the exit to the ride, so there is no way to know how long there was between the ride taking off and her coming out the door with the security guard.

Final Destination (2000)

Correction: Those are not reflections from the crew's spot lights, but rather the track lighting on the kitchen ceiling.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: On the freeway scene, the drug guy is in a mustang convertible with the top down. In the very next scene, he is in a hard top vehicle. There's no way possible this could happen even in her premonition.

Correction: I have watched this whole scene in slow-motion and he never has a convertible, he has a sun roof and when you see him head on you are looking out the hatchback behind him, which is the first thing to fly off the car in the wreck, followed by the gas tank.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: In Kimberley's premonition scene, after the log comes off the truck and goes through the cop car, you see the guy on the motorcycle locks up his brakes and falls off the bike. If you pay attention the bike starts sliding in front of him, but ends up crushing him against the Log. How in the world did he manage to get back in front of a sliding bike when he was behind it to begin with?

Correction: There is a thing in physics known as the drag coefficient. Heavier objects slide slower than lighter ones, especially when the lighter one is wearing leather and the heavy one is metal and steel.

The Final Cut (2004)

Corrected entry: If cutters aren't allowed to have implants, why did EYE-tech hire Alan Hakman in the first place? They could have easily checked their computer to see that he had one put in at birth.

Correction: Cutters are not employed by EYE-Tech. They are independent contractors hired by the families. That is why the one cutter's cousin was worried about losing his job if they found a cutter in the EYE-Tech building.

Hide and Seek (2005)

Corrected entry: After Charlie kills the sheriff, the police car lights outside remain flashing, however, as soon as Emily runs outside and Charlie begins to chase her, they stop.

Correction: Charlie more than likely turned them off and hid/disposed of the car so as not to draw more people to the house and interfere.

Fire Down Below (1997)

Correction: Kris Kristofferson has "a lot of money" as he put it to Taggart. He could easily afford a private jet or helicopter to fly his son up to Atlantic city and back. Kentucky and New Jersey aren't really that far apart by air.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

Corrected entry: Gunnery Sergeant Hartman enters the room yelling reveille. The first thing recruits always do is "count off." This is the same as in a prison/jail to make sure no one is missing.

Correction: This may be an individual DI's thing, because we never counted off until we ran out the barracks door for formation, which was after we dressed and made our racks.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: After Bruce puts the explosive into the back of his car and shuts the boot. The boot opens again. Therefore the bad guys don't need the keys.

Correction: The trunk does pop back open but when Jimmy Dix gets hit in the groin by the thug he falls/leans on the trunk closing it completely.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: During the first hijacking scene, the hijacker shoots a dart through the glass and into the seat. Some kind of wire or equipment comes out of the truck when he pulls out the window, and it is there in the next shot, but has vanished in the following shot. (00:01:40)

The-Immortal

Correction: The first dart goes through the glass and expands. He uses it to pull the windshield out then shoots another one into the seat to use as a safety wire when he climbs into the truck. This is more evident in the scene where Vince gets caught up in his wire after being shot.

Sin City (2005)

Corrected entry: There is no blood on the message attached to the arrow that is shot through the thug.

Correction: Many times when an object pierces the body/skin, especially very quickly, it will not have blood on it unless it hit a blood vessel. Even when you cut yourself it doesn't bleed immediately unless you hit a vein/artery. It takes a second or so for blood to start escaping from the capillaries, etc.

Man of the House (2005)

Corrected entry: In real life, anyone carrying a fake machine gun onto a football field during a major game even just for a prank would have faced criminal charges. Tommy lee Jones was doing the right thing by tackling him and shouldn't have been frowned upon.

Gavin Jackson

Correction: This is correct for fans, etc. but mascots are there to prank and jest, therefore would not normally be jacked up for having a prop like that.

EMTurbo

Corrected entry: In the scene where the SUV plummets through the forest, Ice Cube gets out and throws his red and gold hat a considerable ways out into the lake, but seconds later he is seen wearing it. Also, I doubt that the air bag would not have gone off after all the turbulence the SUV had been through.

Correction: Turbulence does not trigger airbags, airbags are activated by sensors in the bumpers and some fenders. they are like contacts that when smashed together trigger the bags. There was no actual impact to bumpers/fenders to trigger the bags.

Godzilla (1998)

Corrected entry: When Godzilla's tail smashes the bridge of the Japanese fishing tanker, all 3 men at the bridge go flying, but in the next shot, we only see 1 of the 3 men actually slam into the wall.

Correction: Perhaps one guy got hit with more force or weighed less so he flew farther.

Godzilla (1998)

Corrected entry: I've talked to a Ministry Official and other fishermen, and the "fishing ship" that is portrayed in the Godzilla movie is a bit too generous in size for Japanese fishing operations in the South Pacific. Not too many fishing operations require a ship the size of a supertanker...

Correction: The ship in question is referred to as a "canning ship". It is self contained, it catches the fish, processes and cans the fish so when it lands they just unload the cans of fish. This makes for fresher canned fish as opposed to keeping the fish alive long enough to get to land and then transport them to land for processing.
