Corrected entry: Close to the beginning when Blade blows up the factory, if you slow it down and watch closely just before Blade jumps over the car the scenery behind changes, there is a burnt out car to the left no telephone nothing, but when he lands the burnt out car is a lot further away and the telephone pole appears suddenly.

Ronin (1998)
Corrected entry: In the Nice chase scene, when the two cars come to construction work on the road, in the far shots the Audi S8 is quite close to the Peugeot, yet when the Peugeot swerves to avoid a crash with the construction lorry, if you slow it down you can see the Audi has completely disappeared. (00:45:20)

The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Corrected entry: When Bruce Willis is outside the bar waiting for Halle Berry, and he gets hit over the head with a baton. If you slow the shot down, you can see that the baton bends when clashing with his head. (00:25:20)

The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Corrected entry: When the three bad guys throw Jimmy Dix off of the road onto the car below, if you slow it down, you can see, it is not the actor but a stunt double. (00:56:50)
7th Sep 2005
The Matrix (1999)
Corrected entry: In the middle of the film when we see Cypher talking to Trinity on the phone, at the end of their conversation we see Tank with the big electric gun, when he fires it, pause and use frame by frame or slow motion and you can see its not Cypher (Joe Pantoliano) but his stunt double, this can be seen because the brightness of the gun causes his face to be bright so you can see the stunt double. (01:26:55)
4th Sep 2005
The Punisher (2004)
Corrected entry: When Frank's wife is driving away from Howard Saint's men, in one particular shot when she hits the red 4x4, out the back window there is grass on both sides, and a sand track/road, but in the next shot the landscape changes somewhat, and the the red 4x4 changes its distance. (Use slow motion or frame by frame.) (00:25:25)
12th Oct 2005
Collateral (2004)
Corrected entry: When Max and Vincent are at the hospital and have entered the elevator, Vincent is holding the briefcase in his left hand, but the hand/fingers that press the button on the elevator is the left hand/fingers not the right, then the camera cuts to a wider shot and Vincent is lowering his right hand from the button even though he pressed the buttons with his left (the hand holding the briefcase). (Slow motion necessary.) (00:46:40)
28th Aug 2005
Spider-Man (2002)
Corrected entry: At the start of the film in the scene with Aunt May and Uncle Ben talking, Uncle Ben picks up a green plate. When he goes to pick it up, there are books, or something, resting by the microwave, which changes position between shots. (00:12:30)
Correction: The books are in the exact same position relative to each other and order in every shot.
4th Aug 2005
Titanic (1997)
Corrected entry: Close to the beginning of the film when Rose is looking through Jack's drawings, a man walks by with a long black coat down to his ankles, in the following shot you see the same man walk past only this time the coat is just below the waist and a different colour from the previous shot. (00:49:10)
11th Aug 2005
Blade (1998)
Corrected entry: When Blade and Karen are in the room of manuscripts, Quinn comes in with a load of guys. When one of the guys loses a hand by holding Blade's sword, there's blood all over the handle of the sword, yet, the next time we see the sword, there's no blood at all. (00:50:45 - 00:52:30)
Correction: It turned to ash - whenever a vampire gets a limb cut off or killed they disintegrate into ash. Same thing happens with their blood.
21st Sep 2005
Hackers (1995)
Corrected entry: Near the beginning of the film when Dade holds the umbrella up in the school hallway to shelter himself from the sprinklers, his hand on the umbrella's handle changes occasionally when Kate walks up to him. (00:18:45)
Correction: In the "fire alarm" scene, the umbrella is constantly in Dade's right hand. He looks at the watch on his left wrist multiple times. Even in the close-up shot of Kate, when we can only see Dade's hand, you can still see that his thumb is towards the left, meaning the umbrella is in his right hand.
1st Aug 2005
Navy SEALS (1990)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie when the 3 navy seals are on the way to the church, Charlie Sheen decides to jump off a bridge, but the road changes from a concrete road to a steel road in just 2 seconds. (00:06:15)
Correction: This is not a mistake. Charlie jumped off the Berkley Bridge in Norfolk, which features a steel bridge lift, so it does transform from concrete to steel.
10th Sep 2005
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
Corrected entry: When we see Neo walk into the Oracle's kitchen, the Oracle asks the little girl to take them to Seraph, in one particular wide shot of the room by the door there are no flowers or vase, yet when the little girl walks past Neo, flowers and a vase have appeared by the doorway. (00:24:15)
Correction: This is not a mistake. In the wide shot when Sati takes the bowl, at the very border of the screen (right side) we can see one of the legs of the table where the flower pot sits. This is visible in the widescreen version. The distance between the table and the door is not obvious because of perspective.

Frequency (2000)
Corrected entry: When Dennis Quaid is at the Buxton building and a girl comes running out, she runs up to Dennis Quaid, he is holding his axe in his left hand, then he is holding it in his right. (00:33:25)
Correction: Was just watching the movie and saw this scene. As he is running to the girl, Dennis Quaid can be seen switching the axe from one hand to the other. Just play the scene in slow motion and you can't miss it.
24th Sep 2005
Hulk (2003)
Corrected entry: Near the beginning of the film when Bruce first turns into the Hulk, he tosses the gamma machine out of the lab and into the road outside, but if you use frame by frame or slow motion from a view on the inside the gamma machine reaches the outside, and a view from the outside is showing the machine just coming out of the wall. (00:41:25)
Correction: This is a filming technique known as overlap. Its where a shot is shown twice from two different locations (In this case the inside and then the outside of the building).
15th Sep 2005
The Karate Kid Part II (1986)
Corrected entry: When Daniel and the Japanese girl have finished dancing, Sato's cousin turns up, note where the car is, and the distance between Sato's cousin and Daniel. Their positions change in the following shot. (Slow-mo perhaps required.) (00:55:05)
Correction: First of all, it is Sato's nephew, not cousin. Second if slow-mo may be required, it is not a mistake.
26th Sep 2005
The Karate Kid III (1989)
Corrected entry: When Daniel is being taught by Terry Silver in the Kobra Kai Dojo, just after Daniel hurts his foot on the training instrument, Terry decides to show him how to do it. The left plank of the instrument, just before it breaks, you can see it's been pre-cut to break easily. (Zoom in necessary.) (01:10:05)
Correction: Zooming in to catch something has the same rules as slow-mo. Not considered a mistake.
26th Aug 2005
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: In the opening scene of the film when we see Peter almost hit his pizza boss, if you slow this part down you can see in one shot, Peter's boss has his hands wide open, and in the following shot he is checking his wristwatch. (00:03:20)
6th Oct 2005
Blade II (2002)
Corrected entry: When Whistler first meets Scud, Scud walks away then starts to watch a little TV, and in one shot his hand is not on the TV, but in the following shot his hand is on the TV. (00:17:30)
Correction: Actually if you to the top right of the TV, you could see some cloth which is probably his long sleeve over his right hand which is on top of the TV.
9th Sep 2005
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when Trinity, Morpheus and Seraph are fighting the doorman at the Merovingian's club, Trinity shoots one of the doorman at very close range, but from the back we see only two exit wounds. (00:14:55)
Correction: The third shot has an effect, the lighting makes it very hard to see, though.
