Corrected entry: Shinzon has been a slave in the mines his whole life with only the Remans as his family. So when exactly did he find out what the Romulans' plan was after it was decided he wasn't going to be used to replace Picard? The Remans would have no reason to know this information so that only leaves the Romulans, so what benefit does it give the Romulans to inform Shinzon of what his life was from, other than to give Shinzon a ridiculous excuse for revenge?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Corrected entry: When the falcon leaves Jakku the bottom cannon is back in position and not stuck in the forward position.
Correction: If you watch carefully, the falcon hits a piece of old broken debris on the ground just after they fired at the TIE fighter. The debris hits the cannon, straightening it back into its normal position.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Corrected entry: An aged, white haired Samuel Clemens angrily accuses Data and Guinan of introducing future technology that will corrupt the late 19th Century, and he threatens to expose them to the authorities. The elderly Clemens is thus portrayed as extremely paranoid of future technology. In reality, even before his old age, Samuel Clemens LOVED new technology, the more exotic, the better. In real life, Sam Clemens owned one of the very first telephones and the first typewriters, and he appeared in a Thomas Edison film when moving pictures were still in their infancy. In real life, Clemens was also a personal friend of Nikola Tesla, and he was known to visit the inventor's laboratory to marvel at all the truly futuristic technological wonders.
Correction: Worried about future tech being revealed doesn't make Clemens paranoid of future tech. He's just worried that Data & Giunan could change history by revealing it. These are 2 different aspects of his personality and one doesn't have anything to do with the other.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Corrected entry: Doomsday gets smaller between the time he gets out of the spaceship and when he dies.
Correction: Doomsday stays the same size from start to finish. There might be landmarks around him that make him appear to be a different size, but he stays consistently the same.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Corrected entry: When Finn is talking to Maz about his past, he leans in, saying "You don't know a thing about me." When he does this a flag is extremely visible in his eyes. Lucasfilm animators actually tried to fix this by putting the same flag reflection in Maz's eye to make it look like only like a light above them. However it is quite obvious it is a flag.
Correction: Watching this scene very carefully, there is no way you can make out a flag through his eyes. It looks like there is a white light off in the distance, but it doesn't look like a flag.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Corrected entry: While Han and Rey are talking outside the Millennium Falcon on the green planet, the sun changes between shots.
Correction: You never see the sun or any shadows to indicate that it changes between shots. The brightness stays the same throughout the scene. There is one part where they show Rey facing forward & it looks like the sun could be shining behind her and off to her right. That stays consistent throughout the scene.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Corrected entry: Finn enters the shuttle upon return from Jakku, looks over his right shoulder and removes his helmet. We then hear Captain Phasma speak and she is standing right where he just looked - how did she get there? There's a bulkhead behind her, and the entrance ramp in front of her. If she was already there Finn would have seen her.
Correction: Fin enters she shuttle facing the cockpit. He then briefly looks at the ramp behind him that he just walked in from, then looks forward again & takes off his helmet. She easily could have followed him onto the shuttle without him noticing. Since he just quickly looked back, he wouldn't have noticed her if she was standing beside the shuttle.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Corrected entry: When Finn is on the ground after being chased by Rey and then shocked by BB-8, Finn's pants do not have burns from the initial shock. The shot changes to Rey and back to Finn seconds later where he is shocked again and has 2 burn marks on his pants. When the shot comes back to him on the ground for a third time, there are no burn spots.
Correction: There are never any burn marks on his pants. There is a point where there is a spot of sand on his pants, and in one shot it looks like the spot moves. But you never see any burn marks on the pants.

Star Trek (1966)
Character mistake: Kirk informs Spock via communicator the Horta is ten feet from him, and Spock insists Kirk kill it. First, both know they cannot kill it with their phasers, and second, Spock's demand for Kirk to kill the Horta runs counter to the Vulcan philosophy of respect for all life. Spock would never want to harm, let alone kill, another life form.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: At this point they don't have any proof that they can't kill it, and since Kirk is in danger, it's logical to try. Also, Spock is half human and he's concerned about his best friend being killed. Logical or not, he'll want Kirk to protect himself at all costs. Other episodes have shown where Spock doesn't always behave logically when his friends are at risk and he lets his emotions come out.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Corrected entry: As Mikaela jumps out of the hole made in the library wall, she is wearing black flats opposed to the black heels she was wearing when they entered. We see her holding black heels in her hand while she is running down the steps, and she could have changed shoes while sitting in the library. But while she is running down the steps shortly afterwards they are now white. (00:53:50)
Correction: I watched this scene a couple times very carefully to make sure I didn't miss anything. They never show her wearing white shoes. In the library they show her wearing her black high heels (you can see them twice in the whole sequence). Then they show her running down the stairs outside the library, carrying her black high heels. Then they show her jump into the car, not wearing any shoes.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Corrected entry: Given the distance the probe must have traveled before it reached the Neutral Zone it would had to have encountered starships long before encountering Saratoga, so why didn't Starfleet know about the probe before Saratoga was neutralized?
Correction: Several reasons. The Klingons are enemies with Starfleet. About ready to go to war thanks to Kirk, so they're not likely to report anything to Starfleet about a dangerous probe coming their way. Also, you never know the path it traveled & what/if any federation ships came into contact with it. And, the ones that did would have lost power & not been able to communicate to Starfleet. Starfleet only regained power after the probe was satisfied that they were able to communicate with the whales.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Corrected entry: During the mashed potatoes scene, Lt. Valeris demonstrates that it's impossible to fire a phaser on board the Enterprise without setting off a ship-wide alarm. However later in the film, she murders the two assassins, Burke and Samnoe using, according to McCoy, "a phaser on stun at close range." Yet no alarm sounded in the ship, alerting the crew that a phaser had been fired on board. (01:20:50)
Correction: That was the whole point he was making when he said it was set to stun. When the phasers are set to stun, they don't set off the alarm, but if fired at close enough range they're still able to cause enough trauma to kill. Checkov also explains this when another crew member asks why it wasn't just set to kill.
Corrected entry: When Boba Fett leaves the garbage trail the garbage is spinning clockwise but when we see a close up and inside his ship the garbage is spinning anticlockwise.
Correction: There are a few pieces of space debris that are rotating in different directions (some clockwise & some anticlockwise). When they change views, this stays consistent. From inside his ship, you can see one piece rotating, but it's different than the other pieces you've already seen, so you can't say that it ever changed its rotation.
Corrected entry: When the meteorite hits the ground, just to the right you can see the footprints in the snow where they placed the charges.
Correction: The meteorite is shown hitting the ground from a distance. You can't see any prints in the snow, even when watching it in high quality Blu-ray.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Corrected entry: When the stormtrooper is killed in the village, the characteristics of the bloody fingerprint smears on Finn's helmet have changed when he's on the First Order's Star Destroyer.
Correction: The fingerprint smudges stay the same. There are 3 smudges just above the visor, going down, across it. With a few splotches on the side that stay consistent while he's wearing it.

Rocky III (1982)
Corrected entry: At the end Apollo and Rocky face each other in a one on one fight - no crowd, no cameras or press, just the two of them there. But once they put their gloves on they can't lace each other up - there has to be a third person.
Correction: They didn't have to lace them up. They just put them on, then pulled them tightly with their teeth. They weren't trying to get them laced up for a real fight.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Corrected entry: As the Terminator cuts open his skin to get the damaged fuel cell out, the initial incision spot changes a couple of times, as does the position of where he's cutting. One moment, it's mid-upper sternum, the next, mid-right pectoral, much too fast between cuts, even though he is a cyborg. He has to take care not to damage vital operating systems. (00:40:40)
Correction: During the scene, the terminator pulls out the knife as he's cutting, then continues to cut in other areas. They cut away and show John Connor talking for a little bit, then they show the finished result as he pulls away the cut off skin. Everything stays consistent throughout the scene.
11th Sep 2015
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Corrected entry: The computer screens that Spock is testing himself on are already responding with "correct" before he answers the questions.
Correction: There is no part during the questioning in which the computer answers correct before he answers the question. They do a segue where they show the computer asking questions & saying correct quickly. This is to show that Spock is being asked a lot of questions & getting them all correct, until they get to the final question "how do you feel?" It's shot that way intentionally to fast forward through all the questions he's asked & show how much he knows.

Back to the Future Part III (1990)
Corrected entry: When the train is pushing the DeLorean and "Clara" on the train and trying to get to Doc, Marty is in the driver's seat, then the next shot he's in the passenger seat to where he passes the hover board to Doc, then when Marty passes through time to Eastwood Ravine he's back in the driver's seat.
Correction: There is enough time in between the shots where Marty could easily hop between the 2 seats.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Corrected entry: When James Savoy and the rest of the "Cemetery Winds" crew are getting out of their vehicles at Yeager's place, there are finger marks in the dust on the edges of the doors. The movie going into slow motion makes it rather obvious they used the third or fourth take. (00:34:40)
Correction: They show that the cemetery winds crew have been driving a long distance. Evidence of it showing sundown when they are driving, and it being sun up when they get there. So they easily could have gotten dust on the vehicles on the way and gotten out multiple times where they smeared the dust off. No obvious reason to indicate this was due to multiple takes or any other error.

Correction: It's quite plausible that Shinzon would have found out by it accidentally, or deliberately, being leaked. The Romulans could have used it to taunt him, letting him know he was just a wasted experiment. Or Romulans might have talked about it when they visited the planet & it was overheard and relayed back to Shinzon.
