Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
Corrected entry: When Kirk and McCoy try to climb the ladder to escape, the wall shakes.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, when the Griswold family are in their car under the wood truck, everybody panics but not Russ, who sings or something like that. (00:06:30)
Correction: Character choice: He's used to this kind of thing from his dad.
Being used to that kind of thing are you kidding me know once used to be and under a truck that scary and deadly a lot of these mistakes in the movie I have seen because I've watched this movie about 365 times.
Correction: I just watched this scene. Rusty isn't losing his mind or anything, but he is obviously scared/worried. His lips are quivering, which may be what you think is singing. He is certainly not happy with the situation.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Corrected entry: During the attack of Hoth, Han Solo goes to the control room to see what's going on. A woman behind Leia pushes a button on a panel, and the entire panel bends.
Correction: So? The Rebellion has limited resources, their base is thrown together. They make do with all sorts of antiquated and damaged equipment.
Corrected entry: The medical ship where Luke, Leia and the droids are in at the end of the movie is transparent.
Correction: This needs more details. In which shot is it transparent? Which part of the ship? The only transparent portion I see is the gigantic bay window they stand in front of just before the credits.

Corrected entry: When Brian Boitano is shown skating, the judges gives him a score based on a scale of 10. Figure skating uses a scale of 6.

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, the dummy of James Bond is really Roger Moore because it moves. (00:07:35)
Correction: Not likely - do you think they shot off the real Roger Moore's fingers? Remember, the whole area is on a huge raised scaffolding, movement around the room could cause the dummy to sway.

South Park (1997)
Chickenlover - S2-E4
Corrected entry: When Chief Barbrady and the children arrive at the zoo, there's an alien doing...something to an animal.
Correction: According to http://www.southparkstudios.com/fans/findthealien/ aliens are hidden in most episodes. You are supposed to find all of them and then go on the south park website enter their locations. Since they are hidden in most episodes and this was announced it is not really trivia.

Corrected entry: When Linguini surprises Remy cooking, there's nothing visible in Remy's hands. In the next shot, some herbs are protruding.

Star Wars (1977)

V for Vendetta (2005)
Corrected entry: John Hurt wears contact lenses to make his pupils look much bigger. You can see the edges of these coloured lenses when he's dead at the end of the movie.
Correction: So he wears contact lenses. So what? Contact lenses exist in the time frame of the film and people wear them for both corrective and cosmetic reasons. No reason at all why a character couldn't be seen to be wearing them.

Correction: The fog stays still because the light does not affect it. The movie gives you the idea that the UFO's light affects your nerve system, not the light, water, colors, etc.
