Gangs of New York (2002)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the little dog fights the rats it's supposed to kill 25 in three minutes. When the bag with the rats is opened something like 10 rats fall on the ground. (00:33:55)

Correction: This is simple editing similar to not watching the entirety of a 3-hour car ride. The viewer does not need to see the multiple bags of rats dropped into the pit to get the desired effect.

Corrected entry: Robin's sword bends when he presses it against Guy of Gisborne's throat.

Correction: Longsword blades are made to have spring and flexibility. "Cheaper" blades will bend too much, eventually warping permanently. Robin was probably using a poorly made sword as he had no time to acquire a quality blade.

Corrected entry: When Robin and John are fighting in the river, John has his stick under Robin's, and forces it around in a 360 degree motion twice - once in the wide shot, and immediately again in the closeup.

Correction: It is very likely that John made the circular move twice in a row. There is no reason to assume he did it only once.

Corrected entry: What's that 'arrow-cam' shot all about? Later on in the film Robin shoots at the hanging ropes and the arrow spins. This is correct for arrows travelling in a straight line. Its physically impossible for an arrow to weave and wobble in the way that the 'arrow-cam' shows and travel in a perfectly straight line.

Correction: Arrows bend and wobble in flight. As shown by slow-motion video of a flying arrow.

Corrected entry: When Robin, Azeem, and Duncan are escaping Maid Marian's place and the soldiers, they come upon one of those rock walls. It is run down and sometimes is built up, sometimes is crumbled. They decide to crash through a built-up part instead of jumping over the crumbled section a couple of feet over.

Correction: High intensity, spur of the moment decisions use very little logic. This was a character choice, not a movie mistake.
