The Break-Up (2006)

Corrected entry: When Gary comes home with the lemons, he turns on the TV where a baseball game is in progress. After the party, when Brooke complains that he never takes her anywhere, he reminds her that they just went to Ann Arbor for the Michigan-Notre Dame game. It couldn't have been a baseball game, Michigan plays in Comstock Park, basketball season would have been over for at least two months, and football season for four or five.

Correction: Today is October, 26th 2006. The college football season has been going for 8 weeks already, and the baseball season isn't yet over. Baseball season is winding down as college football starts, so they very easily could have gone to a college game and then watched a baseball game on TV.

Corrected entry: When they stop at the side of the road where the girl is walking, the car stops right beside her, but in the next shot the car is a couple of feet away.

Correction: No, they swerve to miss her and slam on the brakes. No vehicle can come to a dead stop immediately, plus they were on a dirt road so they slid further from her before they actually stopped. There is never a shot showing them stopping right next to her.

Corrected entry: In the fellowship of the ring, when we first meet Legolas he has brown eyes. In the next two films the colour of his eyes alternate between being very dark blue, to icy blue.

Correction: Arwen's eyes change color too, it's an Elvish characteristic.

Corrected entry: During the chase scene when Abigail has been kidnapped by Ian and crew, both vehicles go over huge bumps, holes, etc. In Ian's vehicle, we see all the stuff go flying all over the back of the vehicle even hitting the people that are in the back of the catering van. But in Ben and Riley's vehicle, everything swings gently around and when Abigail is in the vehicle with Ben and Riley, we can see ropes, cables, boxes, etc. all neatly stacked, very high up the sides of their van with nothing out of place.

Correction: Ben and Riley's vehicle is a normal panal van, usually used for holding tools, etc. Ian's vehicle is a catering van, which normally sits still. Pots and pans in the catering van weren't tied down, therefore they flew around. The van would also have better shocks than the catering van, therefore it wouldn't bounce as much. It is also lighter and not as long as the catering van, so it would handle better (and bounce less). I've been a passenger in an RV before, and the bumps are always bigger at the back of a large vehicle.

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: At the train station, McCord comes back with two tickets he has bought for Lincoln Six-Echo and Jordan Two-Delta and then he goes to buy a map. After he got shot, one of the shooters sees that McCord's card is missing. Then they find out that it's been used to buy the train tickets. But McCord already gave his card to Lincoln Six-Echo in the car, driving to the station. (01:08:40)

Correction: McCord was with them the whole time, I'm sure Lincoln could have handed the card to McCord so that he could go and buy tickets.

Superman Returns (2006)

Correction: How is the suit impervious to bullets? I'm sure that the suit and cape have 'special' abilities, one of which could be tucking it into his pants. Another one easily could be that it's extremely light and easily folded so as to avoid dection under a suit.

Corrected entry: When Kuzco fakes being poisoned Yzma tells Kronk to "get rid of the body." Kuzco should have heard that and realized that Yzma was trying to kill him.

Correction: Kuzco was knocked unconscious by Kronk. He had no idea that Yzma was trying to kill him, so he'd have no reason to pretend to be dead. Therefore, he was unconscious and couldn't hear Yzma tell Kronk to "get rid of the body."

The Island (2005)

Corrected entry: Why would Lincoln and Jordan be baffled at the concept of little people when they encounter children at the train station? They've been implanted with childhood memories, so they know what children would be.

Correction: There are no children inside the facility, so this would be the first time they've seen them physically, in real life.
