Corrected entry: When Doc is having the DeLorean do the burn out to get the car up to speed, the car is spinning its wheels up to 65 mph and Doc releases the brake. Now the car takes off, but the car would lose most of the speed the tires had built up as it is starting from essentially a dead stop even though the speedometer still shows 65 mph. Think of it this way, the back tires may be moving at 65 mph but the front tires are not. There is no physically possible way for a car to jump from 0 to 65 mph instantaneously using only its tires no matter how fast they were rotating. Even an F/A-18 needs a catapult to get that kind of speed so quickly. (00:21:35)

Corrected entry: When Nathanial is talking to the step mother in the soup pot, the apples change positions throughout the scene.
Correction: Don't see how this is an error. The apples are floating in liquid, of course their positions are going to change.

The Benchwarmers (2006)
Corrected entry: When Gus goes into the talking bathroom, he has a bandage on his right hand. When he is leaving the house after being "called out" on TV. The bandage is gone.
Correction: It is not a bandage, it is a bag of ice that he is holding. Gus carries it into the bathroom and sets it on top of the urinal. When he leaves the bathroom, he is carrying the bag of ice again. After he talks to the guys, he gets ready to leave. Even though you don't see him do it, you can hear him set the bag of ice down on a table.

Correction: If the speedometer was hooked up in such a way as to show 65MPH as the speed before the brake was released, it would still show it afterward. The car was never going 65, true, but the tires were telling the speedometer it was. For whatever reason this is how Doc wired it all together. The tires wouldn't slow down suddenly just because the brake was let up, they'd continue to skid until the car's speed matched their own.
