The Hunger Games (2012)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Marvel throws a spear at Rue, Katniss pulls an arrow from the ground to shoot at Marvel, yet nowhere in the whole scene does she ever take an arrow out and put it on the ground.

Correction: She doesn't pick up an arrow up from the ground. She quickly reaches behind to pull one from the quiver that is hanging low on her shoulder. It's hard to see, and it's fast, but she does take it from there.

raywest

Correction: She is picking up her bow from the ground. She put it down so she could cut Rue free from the net she was trapped under. She then quickly grabs an arrow from her quiver.

The Hunger Games (2012)

Corrected entry: Clove dies twice. Once at the cornucopia and later when when later Thresh kills her for Katniss/Rue.

Correction: Clove did NOT die at the Cornucopia. She is clearly alive during the entire bloodbath. She is seen grabbing supplies and when she throws the knife at the tribute who is about to kill Katniss. She then throws another knife at Katniss, but misses. The two actresses who played the female tributes from District 3 and District 4 both have similar looks to the one who played Clove, but it was definitely not her. Also, Clove is wearing a dark-colored jacket, and the dead girl has a yellow one. If you look at a cast photo of the tributes, you can see the similarities between the three actresses.

The Hunger Games (2012)

Corrected entry: After both Katniss and Peeta are healed, they are walking by the river discussing the remaining tributes in the Games. Peeta mentions "Foxface" in reference to the girl tribute from District 5. Neither Peeta nor the audience should know this nickname Katniss created, as she at no point mentioned it to anyone.

Correction: How is it known that she never mentioned it to anyone? Just because she is not heard saying it onscreen, does not mean she didn't previously use that nickname before the games when she was talking to Peeta or the support team. Haymitch, Cinna, and the others worked closely with Katniss and Peeta to prepare them, and they spent much time discussing the other tributes - who they were, what their strengths were, and so on. Katniss could have used that name at any time when referring to the girl from District 5.

Corrected entry: Bella and Jacob repeatedly refer to Renesmee as Charlie's "niece". However, Charlie, being Bella's father, is actually Renesmee's grandfather. Yes, he was not told that Bella gave birth to Renesmee, but he was still told that she is Bella's daughter, so she cannot in any sense be Charlie's niece.

Brad

Correction: Charlie is told that Renesmee is Edward's niece. Under that scenario, Renesmee would technically be considered Charlie's grand-niece by Bella's marriage to Edward. They also say they "adopted" her, also making her his granddaughter. To protect Charlie from the Volturi, he cannot be told the real circumstances about Renesmee's birth, so the explanation is deliberately left rather vague. Charlie suspects there is more than he is being told, mentioning that Renesmee has Bella's eyes, but he just goes along with it.

Octopussy (1983)

Correction: Magda was not actually saying Octopussy's name. She was describing her tattoo, calling it her "little Octopussy." It may be the same word, but technically, she was not telling Bond that this was a woman's name. Kamal was actually referring to the person.

The Hunger Games (2012)

Corrected entry: When the Fallen are displayed in the sky after Thresh is killed by the mutts, he is the only tribute shown, despite that Clove and Foxface both died earlier that day. In addition, the Panem national anthem is not played when the Fallen are revealed even though it's meant to be every time they're shown. (02:01:15)

Correction: Just because we don't see it in the movie, does not mean that off-screen Clove and Foxface's images hadn't already been projected onto the arena's sky to the TV audience who are watching the Hunger Games. We saw Clove and Foxface being killed. Thresh's face is being shown to us so we're aware that he was also a victim. For the purposes of streamlining the movie's plot line and running time, it simply wasn't necessary to show us Clove and Foxface's pictures after we already knew they were dead or to hear the anthem again. It was the movie makers' choice to avoid boring repetition.

Corrected entry: After Harry has fallen from Hagrid's arms and reveals he is alive, Voldemort tries to cast spells his way. After this they show a shot of Lucius, then back to Voldemort. Afterwards, Draco is grabbing his mother's left hand to leave, but later when they show Lucius catching up with them, Draco is holding her right hand.

Pedge

Correction: There was quite a bit of distance traveled by them in between the time Draco first grabs Narcissa's arm when they are leaving Voldemort's group to the time you see Lucius running after them. At any time they could have stopped and change places.

Titanic (1997)

Corrected entry: When Ruth and Molly are getting into the lifeboat, at one point you see someone passing a blanket for someone to put in the lifeboat. It is a plaid blanket. Later when Jack and Cal are trying to convince Rose to get into the lifeboat, before Cal puts his jacket on Rose, it is the same blanket. When she is in the lifeboat at the end of the movie, it is the same blanket. Also, after Jack saves Rose from jumping off the ship in the beginning, and Jack is about to be arrested, the same blanket is on Rose's shoulders.

Correction: How do you know it's the same blanket? It seems more likely this is just one "type" of blanket that White Star, the company that owns Titanic, would have supplied to its cruise ships. All the deck chairs would likely have blankets put on them or be placed nearby for passengers to use when they're sitting out on the deck. It would be logical that all of the blankets were the same color and design. Therefore, you'd see more than one person covered with the same plaid blanket.

Sex and the City (1998)

Hot child in the city - S3-E15

Corrected entry: When Jenny and her friends greet Samantha and the girls at the restaurant, Jenny says 'I didn't know you knew Carrie Bradshaw.' But she also mentions that she loves Carrie's column, implying that she reads it every week. If Jenny really was reading Carrie's columns on a regular basis; she would already know that Samantha is one of Carrie's best friends, as Carrie writes about her constantly. (00:12:35)

Correction: It is never mentioned that Carrie refers to her friends in the column by their full names, nor would she likely do so, therefore Jenny would not know that it's the same Samantha.

raywest

Carrie's column was based heavily on the lives and adventures of herself, and her friends. She used their full names during voiceovers, showing the content of her published writing. Samantha is not a common name, and she wouldn't likely be referring to another Samantha. Obviously this is a plot contrivance for the scene. If the girls regularly read Carrie's column, they would know that Samantha was one of her best friends.

Carrie's voiceovers are not the content of her column, though it may reflect it generally. The voiceovers serve as narration for the episodes. Also, Samantha is not that unusual of a name.

Sex and the City (1998)

My motherboard, my self - S4-E8

Corrected entry: When Carrie and Aiden are waiting at the Techserve store, Dmitri (the Tech Guy) calls out Carrie's number as 'Number 64'. He says this twice. But after Carrie and Aiden are finished talking with Dmitri, he calls out 'Number 78' for the next customer in line. He says this number twice as well. Why would he go from 64 to 78? (00:04:50 - 00:06:25)

Correction: There are multiple computer techs at Techserv. During the time Dimitri is helping Carrie, waiting customers numbered 65 through 77 would have been called by the other technicians. There could be an overhead digital counter that each technician would look at before calling out the next available number.

Corrected entry: When Tom Riddle is talking to Professor Slughorn about horcruxes, Slughorn mentions that you have to kill to make a horcrux as it rips the soul apart. Tom Riddle says, "Can you only split the soul once, for instance seven?" This shows that Tom was planning to make seven horcruxes, however he only intentionally created six horcruxes and as Dumbledore said in 'Deathly Hallows Pt 2', "You were the horcrux Voldemort never intended to make, Harry". Surely Tom would have said six horcruxes then, not seven.

Professor Lazarus

Correction: Sorry, but this incorrect, and the film has muddled it a bit. Riddle's (Voldemort) intent was to split his soul into seven pieces by making six horcruxes "in addition" to the soul piece left inside his body. He believed that "7" was the most magical number. Harry became an accidental horcrux, which then made seven horcruxes in all, plus the soul shard that was left in Voldemort. That made eight soul fragments total, but only Dumbledore, and later Snape, knew about the one inside Harry. It was only before his final confrontation with Voldemort that Harry learned he carried a horcrux. Voldemort never knew about the horcrux inside Harry.

Silverado (1985)

Corrected entry: When Rae walks down the stairs soon followed by Slick, she stops to talk to her brother Mal. In the background there is a windmill that is not turning despite the fact that you can see the wind blowing on Rae's hair and dress.

Robert Sullinger

Correction: It would only take a very light breeze to cause her skirt and hair to flutter, but not necessarily enough to turn heavy windmill blades.

The Godfather (1972)

Corrected entry: At the wedding scene, Michael is wearing many ribbons. The 'highest' rated ribbon, the first, is the 'Silver Star'. It is very visible. In a scene much later in the movie there is talk about 'knocking off' Michael but someone says,"He is a war hero. He won the Navy Cross . This is higher ranked than the Silver Star and should have been worn first in the line - if he did in fact earn it.

Correction: Character Mistake: The person who said this didn't know what he was talking about. He knew Michael was a decorated war hero, so he mentions a type of medal he'd once heard about, thinking that must be what he had received.

raywest

Corrected entry: Normally, when you get hit by the killing curse, you fall to the floor dead and whole. When Voldemort gets hit, he dissolves into ashes, and doesn't stay as a whole.

Twister8

Correction: Voldemort's soul had been so severely damaged by being shredded into the seven horcruxes that the small portion remaining inside him could have been insufficient to keep his body intact. It was also a resurrected body, and may have been weaker than normal, making it react differently to the killing curse.

raywest

Corrected entry: In the scene where Esme takes sandwiches to Jacob, Leah, and Seth, she holds her hand out to give them the food. The scene cuts to another angle, and she offers them the food again.

loopylou992

Correction: I've watched this several times. Esme actually offers the sandwiches to each person (Seth, Jacob, and Leah) one-at-a-time. Esme first gives a sandwich to Seth, who takes it, but when one is offered to Leah, she refuses. Esme then hands a sandwich to Jacob.

Corrected entry: When Alice is putting in Bella's hair comb, Alice and Rosalie constantly change sides from shot-to-shot. At one point, Alice is behind Bella on the left and Rosalie is on the right, and in the next shot, they switch, then switch back.

Correction: They don't change sides at all. The scene is shot from two viewpoints, one looking directly at the three, then from behind them and you are seeing their reversed reflections in the mirror, making it look like they switched places next to Bella. You can see the back of Bella's head at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen as she looks into the mirror.

raywest

Corrected entry: In the scene where they get the idea for Bella to drink blood, Jacob moves to the other side of the couch away from Bella twice.

Brad

Correction: Jacob does move twice, but it is not the same shot. First, he is next to Bella (to keep her warm) before moving away. After a brief interval, he moves from that spot to even farther away and then on to an adjacent sofa.

raywest

Corrected entry: After the housekeepers come in, Bella and Edward sit on the couch and Bella puts on a purple shirt over her tank top. They begin to make out when the maid comes in. When they cut from the maid to Edward and Bella again her purple shirt has disappeared.

Correction: Actually, she is still wearing the purple shirt, but its sleeve gets pushed up over the top of her shoulder, making it look like she only has the sleeveless tank top on. If you look closely, you can see she is still wearing the purple shirt.

raywest

Corrected entry: When Voldemort destroys the protective enchantments, in one shot Bellatrix shields her face with her arms but in the next shot she has her arms wide open with no time for her to have moved them.

Correction: Nonsense. There is usually a brief time lapse between shots, and it would take hardly any time for Bellatrix to move her arms from her face into the position you described.

raywest

Corrected entry: When Harry and co. change clothes after jumping into the lake, Harry puts on a long sleeved gray shirt that has a dark collar. Later, in the "limbo" scene, he is shown wearing the same gray shirt with dark collar but the sleeves are short.

Correction: The "Limbo" scene has no relationship whatsoever to what Harry was wearing after the Trio jumped into the lake. After being hit by Voldemort's curse, everything is occurring inside Harry's head. Whatever he sees is from an altered reality. You'll also notice all his clothes look clean and new, Harry is perfectly groomed and his hair neatly combed, he no longer has cuts or bruises, nor is he wearing his glasses, as he would have no need for them in a state between life and death. Everything around him is altered too, such as the train station, and even Dumbledore, who looks fully restored to health. Harry's shirt is just a style he has often worn throughout the series, so it is logical he would see himself wearing some version of it.
