Corrected entry: Although Red Pollard is described as breaking his leg in 11 or 12 places, an X-ray shown later to Charles Howard reveals only two fractures.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Dorothy and the Scarecrow meet the Tinman and oil him, they do not oil his legs. Later in the scene, he begins to dance as if his legs were oiled.
Correction: As he's walking down to the Yellow Brick Road, the Tin Man's knees lock up, and they do have to oil his legs.

Twister (1996)
Corrected entry: When Jo and her family hear about the twister, they head outside to a cellar. How did the dog also manage to get outside with the door being closed?
Correction: Only the screen door closes behind the family, and it doesn't appear to close all the way; it just bangs against the door frame. So even though the dog is small, he shouldn't have had any trouble pushing his way out.

Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: There is simply no way a VW bus (driven by the terrorists) would be able to keep up in a race with a DeLorean (driven by Marty).

The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993)
Corrected entry: When The Duke sees the dead Mr. Wilks in the coffin the deceased's mouth is wide open. The Duke closes it without any effort, as if there were no such thing as rigor mortis. (01:07:20)
Correction: Rigor mortis usually lasts between one and three days, so depending on how long Mr. Wilkes had been dead, it might have already passed.

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Corrected entry: During the "Gaston" song sequence, we can obviously hear Gaston sing, "In a wresting match, nobody bites like Gaston", but his mouth doesn't move.
Correction: Gaston doesn't say this, it's the guy who's being bitten. It pans over to him as he says it.

Braveheart (1995)
Corrected entry: When the Duke of York's head is seen in the basket, the Prince takes off the cover. However after the king has thrown Phillip from the balcony he sits next to thebasket with the head still in it. The cover has magically placed itself back on the basket.
Correction: Prince Edward is off screen for a while, and given that he was repulsed by the sight of the head, he likely could have covered it back up himself.

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Corrected entry: If the Beast was once a prince with a huge castle, wouldn't he have governed people? Why didn't anyone remember that, or know where his castle was?
Correction: I'd say Beast became a Hermit ruler, ie news of the realm and supplies are left in sealed chests at the front gate, royal decrees in writing with his sign and seal are left outside in same. Peculiar, but not without precedent, or that big a stretch. Furthermore, the Pre-Curse Prince was such a jerk that no-one else is really in the mood to investigate further about the change.

The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Corrected entry: When the survivors move on to Fort Henry, Alice's cap, which she had been wearing throughout, is suddenly gone. (00:21:15)
Correction: Cora knocks it off when she jumps down to protect Alice during the battle in the woods.

Back to the Future (1985)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Marty is playing Johnny B. Goode, and someone cuts into George and Lorraine's dance, Marty starts disappearing. Then he comes back, pushes the guy down, and kisses Lorraine, resulting in Marty reappearing. But George did that on his own, without Marty interfering, so why should he have disappeared in the first place? He was always going to come back and assert himself - it's not like the timeline was being changed.
Correction: According to the films, the future is never set. For instance, in the third film, at first it's Doc's name on the tombstone, then no one's name, then Marty's name starts to appear, then finally the tombstone disappears altogether. This happens in response to how Doc and Marty act and make decisions. The same idea applies to the dance- when it looks like George is just going to walk away, Marty's existence is in danger, but when George changes his mind and returns to Lorraine, the future has changed, and Marty's existence is secure.

Correction: The doctor points out the two fractures, and says that's the part of the leg that hasn't healed yet, so it can be assumed that the rest of the fractures have healed up.
