Men in Black (1997)

Corrected entry: When the Edgar alien first pulls up in front of the jewellery shop before the diner scene, it shows him turning the corner in the pest control truck. The "Zap 'Em" logo on the hood is backwards. (00:38:50)

Sammi

Correction: Logos on the hood are often printed in reverse so that a driver ahead of the vehicle can read the logo in the mirror.

The Mask (1994)

Corrected entry: When Dorian gets hit in the face with a golf club, he gets hit on his right side but the blood comes out of the left side.

Sammi

Correction: Dorian doesn't get hit by the golf club, he gets cut by the tee in his mouth.

Corrected entry: It's quite clear throughout the movie that Alice is wearing eye make-up, and has possibly even dyed her hair black. So when did looks become important enough to take the time to apply make-up everyday?

Sammi

Correction: Well, it's not like she hasn't got the time at hands needed to apply make-up. The "why", probably because she wants to make a good first appearance at Arcadia, where she's headed. The rest of the movie plays in the 36 hours after that.

Corrected entry: When the Red Queen and "Um" are sitting in the throne room, it appears the Queen's blue make-up and eyebrows are faded. I'm guessing the blue and the eyebrows are meant to be part of the character's actual face and not fade.

Sammi

Correction: That guess would miss the mark then. It's eye shadow and eyebrow pencil even within the context of the film. Her whole face is made up.

Phixius

Corrected entry: Since the food falls directly out of the machine, and not from clouds in the sky, the food should only be falling in one general area at any given time, which makes the worldwide food storm in the end an impossibility. That being said, the purple food-shaped clouds throughout the film are unexplainable and pointless.

Sammi

Correction: It's a fictional device which operates as depicted. It is depicted causing food to rain down all over town, and eventually all over the world, so that's what it does. There is no mistake here simply because the details go unexplained.

Silent Hill (2006)

Corrected entry: When Rose first meets Cybil, she is wearing sunglasses, even though it is too dark for them.

Sammi

Correction: Cybil is an officer riding a motorbike. She wears the sunglasses at all times to protect her eyes from the wind, bugs, and road grit while driving. During the day they protect her eyes from sunlight, and at night they protect her eyes from the headlights of oncoming cars which would otherwise render her temporarily "blinded" while her eyes readjusted to the darkness.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the garage scene, Bart is attacked by a legless zombie dangling from some pipes. Being legless, how would he have gotten up there in the first place? It's possible that perhaps when he was human, he got up there first, lost his legs afterward, and then changed into a zombie, but then why would he still be up there after so long? (You can tell he has been dead at least a few weeks by his stage of decomposition.)

Sammi

Correction: He's got pretty impressive upper body strength. He could have easily climbed up something. Like a fixture against a wall, or some piping that comes down. Alternatively, he may have been a zombie with legs, climbed up there, then lost his legs somehow. Perhaps in a struggle with a survivor who is now among his fellows.
