Blade: Trinity (2004)

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. (00:07:15)

Correction: According to this site's rules, if you have to use slow motion to see something, it's not a valid mistake.

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)

Sacha

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)

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)

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)

Correction: According to this site's rules, if you have to use slow motion to see something, it's not a valid mistake.

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)

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)

The-Immortal

Correction: The books are in the exact same position relative to each other and order in every shot.

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)

The-Immortal

Correction: It's not the same person each time that is walking by. These are two different men and you can see the man in the longer dark coat is now in the background of the second shot. There would be many passengers out for a stroll on the deck.

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)

The-Immortal

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.

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)

The-Immortal

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.

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)

The-Immortal

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.

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)

The-Immortal

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)

The-Immortal

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)

The-Immortal

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).

GameBlade

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)

The-Immortal

Correction: First of all, it is Sato's nephew, not cousin. Second if slow-mo may be required, it is not a mistake.

SAZOO1975

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)

The-Immortal

Correction: Zooming in to catch something has the same rules as slow-mo. Not considered a mistake.

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)

The-Immortal

Correction: Slow-motion not allowed for such subtle mistakes, according to MM's rules.

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)

The-Immortal

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.

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)

The-Immortal

Correction: The third shot has an effect, the lighting makes it very hard to see, though.
