Corrected entry: Keeping the Earth in the window during the burn for trajectory correction is inaccurate because if the LM were pointing toward the earth, the window would be underneath the craft and the earth wouldn't be visible through the window. The earth is visible to be artistically consistent. This is mentioned by Jim Lovell on DVD Commentary.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Corrected entry: The comet entity can make weaponry operate/shoot like the machine gun and electric knife. The arsenal of guns in the basement and rocket launcher doesn't work, however.
Correction: The machine gun was mounted on a mobile platform, and the knife was the first sign that electric appliances were affected at the truck stop. The cache of weapons did work, as evidenced by Bill and company using them to get to the sailboat.

Casino (1995)
Corrected entry: When Pesci flings a playing card at the dealer, the card gets stuck in his shirt button but when the shot changes, the card has disappeared nor has it dropped back on to the gambling table.
Correction: The "shot change" you are speaking of is when they pan over to the pit boss, to see if they will honor Nicki's "hit" request, so there was ample time for the card to fall off the dealer's shirt button while they pan to the pit boss who nods yes. It takes at least a full 2 seconds.

Death Wish II (1982)
Corrected entry: When Paul Kersey pulls out in his car for his first night of hunting thugs, a large light rig is reflected in the car door. (00:23:35)
Correction: There is a fast food restaurant in front of the car's door. The light could have been from the fast food restaurant.

10 to Midnight (1983)
Corrected entry: At the very end, when Bronson confronts the naked killer in the street, Bronson points out there are three more dead girls. There are actually four more dead girls. The hooker, and the three in the nursing dormitory. And he did see all four girls. (01:38:35)
Correction: The hooker wasn't dead. He doped her to knock her out.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Corrected entry: When Clyde is robbing the grocery store, the man that comes up behind him with the meat cleaver obviously misses him with the cleaver and hits the counter.
Correction: This isn't a mistake - it's clear he misses Clyde.

Correction: Jim Lovell says he kept Earth in the window and that the LM was not pointing toward Earth. He says the LM was pointing 90-degs to the flightpath so that Earth could be seen through the window. The burn was not to speed up the LM, but to change the angle of approach to Earth, and that it was done while the LM was at a 90-deg aspect.
