Corrected entry: When Russell Hammond goes to William's house he spots a professional photo of William and his sister Anita. The photo shows William as a 15 year old with his sister. But Anita has been away working as a stewardess, and has not seen William since he was 11 - who was played by a younger and different actor in those scenes.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Corrected entry: There is only one T Rex on the island - in one scene she is near the volcano while they are escaping, and in the next scene she has been captured and is on the boat.
Correction: That is the same T-rex. After she kills the Carnotaurus she is shown walking off, and when Owen, Claire and Franklin see the helicopters with her in a cage she was just tranquilized offscreen.
Correction: It is never stated that there is only one T-Rex on the island. The veteran rex seen in the previous films was captured and removed from the island. There is at least one more left on the island. Also, I just saw the film again, and shortly after the scene where the T. Rex is with the fleeing animals, a sedated T. Rex can be seen in the background being loaded onto the ship by helicopter. This could be the veteran T. Rex we've seen in the previous movies that was captured as the mercenaries were preparing to evacuate.

Lost in Space (2018)
Danger, Will Robinson - S1-E10
Plot hole: At the end, when Maureen is searching for John in orbit, she only radios him after Will sees him clinging to the floating wreckage. Before that, she only used sensors aboard Jupiter to try and locate him. She makes no attempt at radio contact for any survivors, which would have quickened the rescue. John can also radio her back, but he did not attempt to call for help.

Suggested correction: The suit radios are fairly short range. This is seen on a number of occasions, such as when they need an extension antenna when stuck in the tar to contact others. The distances in space between the damaged Jupiter and Jupiter 2 are huge, and much further than the distance from the chariot stuck in tar back to Jupiter 2.

Flightplan (2005)
Corrected entry: When Carson searches for Kyle, he explains that he stuffed Julia in the food cart, took her down to avionics, and put her in the nose of the plane. That would not have been possible. Firstly, food carts are not strong enough to hold the weight of a child. Secondly, the nose of a plane is far too cramped with all kinds of equipment for a child to fit into.
Correction: This is a fictional plane, one that Kyle helped design, so there's no way to say whether or not the nose of the plane is too cramped. Also, we don't know what kind of food carts is being used. Since this is a fictional story, the airline could be using a fictional brand that is strong enough to hold a child's weight.
Even the cart could hold Julia's weight, Carson would have had to hope that part of Julia's body didn't fall out of the cart while he was moving it.

Vertigo (1958)
Continuity mistake: In the scene In the McKittrick hotel, the manager tells Scotty Madeleine often stops by but hadn't been by today. Incredulous, he insists on seeing her room but finds that she has disappeared. One shot shows her door left open and another shows it closed.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: A couple things. Scotty tells the manager to go look in the room while he waits downstairs. She goes up, then calls down to him and asks if he wants to see the room. As they walk down the hall, the door to Madeleine's room is closed. The manager opens it, and she and Scotty go inside. The door was always closed until they went in. The lighting on the door in the first shot of it makes it appear much lighter in color, giving the impression that it was open and the interior is being seen, but it is closed.

Vertigo (1958)
Corrected entry: When Mr. Elster is telling Scottie that his wife's car showed she drove 94 miles on the speedometer, he should have said odometer.
Corrected entry: In the movie Jack gets the compass from his former captain when he is dying in the battle with Salazar. In the second film we saw that Jack got the compass from Tia Dalma/Calypso.

Wonder Woman (2017)
Corrected entry: Both Diana and Steve go to sleep on the sailboat at the same time. Who is making sure that they stay on course? Navigating a sailboat is vastly different than a power boat, which is why someone is always "on watch" to make sure the boat stays on course. If they're both asleep they could end up anywhere.

Corrected entry: When Steve is bathing after the first fight on the island, he has a bandage on his shoulder suggesting a wound, but his shirt is not torn at the shoulder.

Passengers (2016)
Corrected entry: Given all the passengers are supposed to be in hibernation, and the hibernation pods are "fail safe", why would the ship's computers be programmed to announce scenic views in the middle of the voyage, such as passing the star Arcturus?
Correction: The pods were not "fail safe" as evidenced by Jim's pod being opened due to the malfunction. Once Jim is awakened and starts moving around the ship, utilizing different functions, and so on, the ship's computer would be triggered and act as if all passengers have been awakened. It starts providing its normal services, such the hologram greeting Jim and giving information, entertainment, Arthur working as the bartender, and passengers being informed when there is an interesting astronomical event to watch.
Correction: The whole premise of the movie centers around the belief the pods are fail safe. If the engineers and programmers believed the pods to be fail safe, then there is no reason to program in sight seeing subroutines for locations passed in the middle of voyage when everyone is believed to still be in hibernation.
The ship, once it happened to be activated by Jim and Aurora for passenger mode, may have sensors that then identify and announce any scenic view it encounters on its journey. The ship follows a pre-set path to and from the planet, and every astronomical object would be catalogued in its computers, regardless of whether it was intended for passengers to see it.

Passengers (2016)
Corrected entry: When Aurora is dragging Jim towards the Auto-Doc it suddenly appears close to the floor when the camera angle changes. Then back to normal when the angle changes again. For me it's obvious Aurora didn't have the strength to lift Jim that high so they had to lower the chamber.
Correction: It appears that way, but as Aurora enters the medical clinic dragging in Jim, behind them the Auto-Doc's cover can (barely) be seen sliding open just as it is starting to lower itself to floor level. Presumably advanced sensors detected an emergency situation. Once it was fully lowered, Aurora put Jim inside. The device then raises itself to normal height. Most hospital beds, gurneys, and exam tables are adjustable, so it's reasonable to assume the Auto-Doc would have that same capability. Granted, Aurora would need tremendous strength to drag a 220 lb. Man that far and then get him into the device even at its lowest level, but it's feasible.

Gone with the Wind (1939)
Corrected entry: During the burning of Atlanta scene, Rhett and Scarlett are escaping in a wagon. The horse stops, spooked by the fire, so Rhett throws Scarlett's shawl over the horse's eyes. The mistake is that as soon as Rhett grabs the reins, the horse throws off the shawl, and suddenly no longer is afraid of the fire. (01:22:15)

Passengers (2016)
Corrected entry: It is said that the crew wake up 4 months before they arrive at Homestead 2 and the passengers 3 months, but the crew and passengers wake up at the same time at the end of the film and they are almost in orbit around Homestead 2.
Correction: The passengers had not awakened yet.The computer can be heard saying that it is initiating the crew wake-up sequence. The shot of the people on the concourse are only the crew members and it is somewhat prior to the ship's arrival at the planet. That is when they discovered what happened to Aurora and Jim. Aurora's words from her book (heard by us in a voice over) is addressed to both the crew and passengers, however. Before that scene, there is a quick filler shot of the Avalon nearing Homestead II that shows us that passengers and crew have safely reached their destination almost ninety years later. It is not meant to be a strict linear timeline.

The Strain (2014)
Corrected entry: Dr Goodweather is treating his gunshot wound on his left shoulder. Later on the wound is on his right shoulder.

The Great Escape (1963)
Corrected entry: Blythe doesn't need to escape - thus endangering fellow escapees and taking the place of another man - since the Geneva Convention (which the Luftwaffe generally adhered to as the Allies held many German prisoners) required that all POWs who suffer severe disability that would prevent them from fighting were to be repatriated.
Correction: Blythe hid his condition. He was essential to planning the escape and would not want to desert his comrades. The Germans didn't release him because they didn't know he was visually impaired. No one did until it was discovered shortly before the escape. Also, Blythe wasn't actually blind. He'd become severely myopic (near-sighted), which had progressed fairly quickly, and was only able to see things extremely close up. His vision could have been corrected with strong prescription eyeglasses, but a POW camp did not have that kind of medical care. His condition was such that if he was repatriated to the Allies, he could, with corrected vision, once again be an active soldier in some capacity and would have substantial knowledge of the enemy's POW camps locations inside Germany and their operations.

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: When Bella "slips" on the ice, where she actually slipped, there is no ice.
Correction: You don't have to see ice for it to be there. I live in the same part of the country where the story takes place. It rains a lot here and the temperatures can then drop into freezing. Wet pavement develops a thin ice layer that is nearly invisible. It makes driving and walking extremely hazardous because it is hard to see. This is sometimes called "black ice."

Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
Corrected entry: Travers Goff and little Ginty are sitting by the river in what appears to be a remote area after she visits him in the bank and yet she is licking a large, perfectly shaped, unmelted ice cream cone.
Correction: I would have to disagree. First, they are living in what was then a small, back-water town that probably has only a a few main streets and is surrounded by little else. A river could be right next to the town. Second, in the shot with the ice cream cone, Ginty and her father are sitting against a tall river bank, and the embankment behind them is too high to see over or any of the surrounding geography, so there is no way to judge if this is a remote area. They could easily have gotten the ice cream and walked a short distance to the river before sitting down. Third, Ginty's ice cream is half-eaten, nearly down to the rim of the cone, its rounded shape is from her having licked it, keeping it from melting all over her hand.

Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
Corrected entry: When the limo driver first greets Mrs. Travers at the airport, he takes her suitcases, and escorts her to the waiting car. He puts the bags down by the car, helps her in, and drives away without putting the bags in the trunk. Of course, they are somehow in the trunk upon arrival at the hotel.
Correction: That is incorrect. Ralph, the driver is shown opening the door for Travers and then shutting it. The scene immediately cuts to a long view of the limo driving on the highway. The shot never showed Ralph driving the car away from the curb and out of the airport. He would have put the bags into the trunk, but this was not shown.

The Client (1994)
Corrected entry: Reggie says her kids were taken away because she was an alcoholic. Yet she actually started drinking after her kids were taken away.
Correction: That is incorrect. Reggie tells Mark that right after her divorce, she drank somewhat and also took prescription sleeping pills but one night accidentally took a few too many. Her ex-husband then claimed that she tried to commit suicide. The court declared her an unfit mother, and that was when she lost custody of the children. Following that, she began drinking heavily before getting help.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Corrected entry: The Hogwarts' school supply list mentions the Lockhart book, "Wanderings With Werewolves," but later, Lockhart refers to the book as, "Weekend With a Werewolf." (May be corrected in later editions of the book).
Correction: Lockhart wrote many books and is likely referring to another one about his (fake) experiences with werewolves. The two titles are quite different from one another and a weekend with a werewolf is not the same as "wandering" with them, which would happen over a longer period of time. It therefore seems that these are two different titles.
Correction: It was never said that Anita had not been home since she left at the beginning of the movie. Even though she and her mother had a strained relationship, she would likely have been back for short visits.
