Spider-Man (2002)

Corrected entry: When Peter enters the wrestling arena and we see Bonesaw fly off the corner of the ring, the guy on the floor has his arm across his body/stomach. Yet, when Bonesaw flies through the air, you can see the guy on the floor move his arm ready for him to land on top of him. (00:35:20)

The-Immortal

Correction: Where's the mistake? Wrestlers actually do that.

Independence Day (1996)

Corrected entry: When David is outside of the White House and he calls Conny, she walks over to the window with her phone by her right ear, then she swaps it to her left when she's looking out the window, but in a shot of her looking out the window, it is back by her right ear. (00:40:40)

The-Immortal

Correction: No, it is not. After David calls Connie and she switches the phone to her left hand, before she pulls the curtain back, in the next interior shot, facing David and Julius outside, it is Connie's right hand that we see holding the curtain. Then it cuts to a close-up of Connie, who is STILL holding the phone in her left hand, just before her arm drops down as her mouth drops open in shock.

Volcano (1997)

Corrected entry: At the start, when we see the two cops pull up outside the church, the cops get out of the car and start to walk past the burnt out car. The cop with the brown hair walks ahead of the cop with the blonde hair, yet in the following shot, the blonde haired cop is now ahead of the other cop. (00:05:20)

The-Immortal

Correction: There is a shot of broken glass on the floor. There is enough time during that shot for them to switch places.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when Nic Cage takes the firefighters into WTC 1 after a couple of minutes have gone by, Nic Cage is told to evacuate the building from his radio, he radios back saying "is there something happening with tower 2?". Just after he says this the building he is in collapses. This is a factual error, we all know that it is building 2 or the south tower that collapses first, not building 1 or the north tower.

The-Immortal

Correction: Cage and crew are not in Tower One. They are on the concourse, beneath and between the two towers, headed toward One as firemen are heading from One to Two. They discuss that only one plane has hit, not two (which is some of the bad info that was going around at the time). They also know about the Pentagon attack (9:37am), so it's well after that. Cage asks the firemen if something is happening at Two because he's unaware of the second plane crash. Then, Two collapses (9:59am) and the falling materials come straight down, then move outward all around at ground level and below, in the concourse. Note the debris is flying sideways before some collapsing of the concourse occurs. It's that collapse that traps them in the concourse, not under One. About 7 minutes later in the film (29 minutes real time), Tower One falls, and they are again battered by debris while trapped. No mistake.

Corrected entry: At the beginning, during the first race scene Toretto pulls away from the white car, so there is now some distance between Toretto and the white car, yet when the camera cuts to a front view, the white car is now magically level with Toretto's bumper or very close to it. (00:18:05)

The-Immortal

Correction: I just watched this part of the film and nothing of the kind happens.

Gladiator (2000)

Corrected entry: At the start of the first battle when we see Maximus riding on a horse, he comes across a Germanian about to stab a soldier. He rides along and cuts the guy's hand off. If you slow this part down, it's not blood that comes out the wound but what looks like bits of wood. (00:09:55)

The-Immortal

Correction: If you need to slow it down, it isn't a mistake.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: At Verone's house, just after Verone says "meet me at a club tonight", there is a shot looking up and as Brian and Verone are shaking hands Monica is beside them. However, in the previous and following shots Monica is standing behind Brian and Roman. (00:37:15)

The-Immortal

Correction: Trick of the camera. Monica is behind them all the time.

Blade II (2002)

Corrected entry: When Blade is in the tunnel and he kicks the bomb case, look at the timer on the bomb and it says 6 and a half seconds. From when the shot goes from Blade back to him a couple of shots later, its a lot more than 6 and a half seconds. (01:14:40)

The-Immortal

Correction: First, the movie isn't in real time, so the fight of Nyssa and Reinhard can be at the same time as Blade is trying to set off the bomb. Second, the bomb isn't working how it is supposed to, so the 6 seconds can easily take longer when if the bomb was stuck again.

Ronnie Bischof

Corrected entry: At the start of the film at Omaha Beach, we see Tom Hanks coming out of the water and kneeling down in front of the steel frames in the sand. Then, when the guy starts talking to him, they are all back in the water again. (00:09:45)

The-Immortal

Correction: It could of been the water coming back up, they were on a beach, so it is probaly why they are back into the water.

Corrected entry: When Joe is talking to his wife in the bedroom, at the beginning, when the closet door opens the reflection of a crew member, wearing a white cap, is on the door. (Must use frame by frame.) (00:15:00)

The-Immortal

Correction: The rules of this site are very clear - if you have to use freeze frame, the 'mistake' is invalid.

The Punisher (2004)

Corrected entry: When Howard Saint's other son is on the dock beating up Frank, there is one point when he kicks Frank off the dock and onto another lower part of the dock. When he kicks him, it is clear that the wood has been pre-cut so it's very easy to break, therefore very easy to kick Frank through it. Use slow motion. (00:28:55)

The-Immortal

Correction: It's not a valid mistake if you have to use slow motion to spot it.

5th Aug 2005

The Hitcher (1986)

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie when Jim and John are talking, if you watch both of them closely, John is looking at Jim then in the following shot he's looking at the road, and vice versa, its really easy to spot this. (00:07:35)

The-Immortal

Correction: This is not unusual. People in a moving vehicle alternate between looking at each other, and watching the road all the time.

20th Oct 2005

X-Men 2 (2003)

Corrected entry: When Nightcrawler is attacking all the guards at the White House, after a guard says "Lock this place down", one of the guards lies flat on his back, yet in the following shot he is on his side. (00:03:45)

The-Immortal

Correction: He could have rolled over when the camera wasn't on him. It doesn't take that long to roll onto your side.

30th Aug 2005

X-Men (2000)

Corrected entry: When Sabretooth is at the train station, Storm looks around and he begins to lift her up, yet when the shot goes to her feet we see the back of her legs just turning around and lifting up. (Storm may have great powers but I doubt she's a contortionist). (00:50:15)

The-Immortal

Correction: Watch the movie again. When Sabretooth comes up behind Storm, she only turns the upper half of her body partway around, and then when Sabretooth grabs her and lifts her up, he turns her the rest of the way around so she is facing him completely.

The Karate Kid (1984)

Corrected entry: When Daniel is painting the fence, Mr. Miyagi walks out to go fishing, and Daniel has his right arm/hand on his hip, yet in the following shot from a distance it is no longer on his hip, but at his side. (01:09:50)

The-Immortal

Correction: Need more clarification for this entry. When Daniel paints the fence, Mr. Miyagi does not go fishing, but works on his garden, as we see him doing when Daniel thinks he is done and Mr. Miyagi asks if he painted both sides. Mr. Miyagi had already left for fishing when Daniel came by to paint the house.

He's referring to the scene at the end of painting the fence, when Miyagi comes out to tell Daniel what time to be there in the morning, he is already wearing the fishing outfit. That's why Daniel looks at him the way he does.

lartaker1975

Corrected entry: When Mike is beating up Daniel in the Bonsai store, Miyagi shows up and Mike says something like "Take him", then shouts or points for Dennis. Dennis approaches Miyagi, but in the following shot it is actually Mike fighting Miyagi instead of Dennis. (00:46:40)

The-Immortal

Correction: Mike shouts "nail him" and it was Snake who goes after Mr. Miyagi and gets beat up. Mike then goes after Mr. Miyagi and gets kicked in the butt and out the door. Dennis never goes after Mr. Miyagi.

10th Aug 2005

Blade (1998)

Corrected entry: At the very beginning when the guy and the vampire woman are riding in the car, the vampire woman's facial expression changes between shots. (00:02:05)

The-Immortal

Correction: Nothing unusual about that. People constantly change their expressions, and it doesn't take a long time to do so.

7th Aug 2005

X-Men 2 (2003)

Corrected entry: When William Stryker is in the school and is walking towards Cerebro, there is a large metal box to the right of the screen against the wall, in the following shot a large door has appeared next to it, that wasn't in the previous shot. (00:42:50)

The-Immortal

Correction: There actually is a door there. It's just hidden in a recess like all the other doors.

Caddyshack (1980)

Corrected entry: When Carl and the Scottish greenskeeper are talking near the beginning, look behind them, there are no flowers. But in a later scene, Carl is playing golf by knocking the heads off the flowers, which weren't there at the beginning of the film. (00:09:00 - 00:58:45)

The-Immortal

Correction: Even though we don't see it happen, we can assume that Carl, or someone else, planted the flowers sometime between the scene with the greenskeeper and the time that Carl destroyed them.

Corrected entry: At the start of the film on the attack on Omaha Beach, when we see the ship bringing the soldiers in and it lowers its platform we can see there are no steel things in the sand, and even from the enemies' point of view there aren't any, yet when Tom Hanks says "over the sides" if you watch closely, there are loads. (00:06:15)

The-Immortal

Correction: Wrong. See the screen-shot showing one of the obstacles toward the right of the shot. This is just after the door drops and the bodies start falling (00:06:32). No error here.
