Top Gun (1986)

Correction: During this entire scene, Maverick's silver chain is always around his neck, even when we don't see the dog tags. I confirmed this by pausing and enlarging the screen. In quite a few of the shots, Maverick's dog tags are hanging down at his back, so they may be overlooked. The tags are visible whenever Maverick turns and/or we see his back. However, what does actually vanish and reappear is his watch, which is noted in another mistake.

Armageddon (1998)

Corrected entry: Throughout the time span the crew was on the asteroid, no signs of any gravitational changes occurred. In fact, the gravity was much like Earth's, even though that's scientifically impossible.

AidanN

Correction: No, they use their suits to push them down, remember? And the rhythm can get good enough to simulate a somewhat near-gravity environment. They demonstrate this a few times in the film, and only a few specific instances does it go away. You should not generalize with this post. Quote the specific times, like on the shuttle.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: This scene took place years before, at what looks like day care. So it would be a different shirt than the one he has now and could easily have a different number on it.

Bowling255

Corrected entry: The 3 Ninjas drive through Tokyo in a Limo. Colt pokes his head out of the sun roof and the other two boys join him. Colt is on the left. In the next shot, when the Japanese lady also joins them, Colt is on the right.

AidanN

Correction: It's not the next shot, the next shot after the other boys join him is shots of Tokyo. Plenty of time for them to change places.

Scream (1996)

Corrected entry: When Sydney is in the police car, she picks up the radio and tells the police that somebody is trying to kill them. Not only does she give the name of the homeowners and the address, but she is attacked in the middle of her conversation, and screams. A few minutes later, Billy grabs her and says that it is a few minutes after midnight, exactly one year after they killed her mother. However, the police don't show until sunrise. What happened in the six hours?

AidanN

Correction: Just because the last scene started at sunrise doesn't mean that's when the police just got there. They could have been there for hours before hand, shortly after Billy was killed. It sometimes takes the police 1/2 hour to an hour to get somewhere, so they were probably there shortly between the second to last and the last scene. Also, the call Sidney made in the car may not have officially gone through.

I am not sure the correction was posted watching the scene. If they have been there 'for hours', then it means that they waited 'hours' before putting Dewey on an ambulance, which happens exactly in that scene. Woodsboro and that house are not that isolated.

Scream (1996)

Corrected entry: When Sidney and Billy go upstairs to 'talk', Randy says "I think I'll go check on them" and heads for the stairs. In the next scene he's on the couch. What happened?

AidanN

Correction: This is not a mistake, it's a question. He could have 1) decided to finish watching the movie by himself and/or 2) decided not to disturb Sidney and Billy because he knew they were trying to have a good time.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: This is true but tv shows, movies, ect. have license to ignore this fact because they could get sued were they to use a real 7 digit number, even if it was accidental, without permission. So this mistake is not valid as the makers have to do this.

Running Scared (2006)

Correction: Counting expletives in a movie is hardly trivia. If it was, it would be equally valid to count any word used in the film.

Corrected entry: The skyscrapers seen protruding from the water, just wouldn't still be standing. The weight of water pressure and corrosive rust damage to the foundations would have undermined and toppled them. The last scenes are even sillier 2000 years later the buildings are still there! Despite the fact that the extremes of low temperature would have rendered their entire structure brittle, not to mention the crushing effect of countless billions of tonnes of (possibly drifting) ice.

AidanN

Correction: The weight of water pressure distributes itself evenly on all surfaces, it does not just push weight down onto an object and would add no load onto the supports of the buildings. I-Beams used in skyscraper construction are made of structural steel or aluminum - they would take centuries to corrode. When the ocean froze it would actually help support the building and when the aliens cut away the ice it is revealed that the ocean has frozen through to the sea bed - all of the ice is therefore held in place and not in motion. The twin towers rising from the ice is a mistake, but we'll have to give the filmakers that one.

Scream (1996)

Corrected entry: When Sydney is attacked by Ghostface in the bathroom at school, Ghostface is wearing black pants and boots, but when Sydney, Billy, Stu, and Tatum are talking in front of the lockers seconds before Sydney goes into the bathroom Billy is wearing blue jeans and vans, and Stu is wearing tan pants and brown boots. How did either one of them change clothes that quickly?

AidanN

Correction: The attacker in the bathroom wasn't Stu or Billy. Its more likely this was a prankster as he didn't have a knife and it would be too risky for either of them to try and kill her in the bathroom.

Correction: I just re-watched the scene with Billy before the bathroom, and we never see his shoes. He is wearing jeans, though, so it was probably him in the bathroom.

Scream (1996)

Corrected entry: When Sid is going back to the house, after being thrown from the window, Randy is limping towards her saying that they have to get out of there. Why is he limping? Gale hit him in the face, but no one touched his leg.

AidanN

Correction: Maybe he twisted his ankle when he fell over from being hit with the phone.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: That isn't a doubble barreled shotgun. The fact that the receptionist moves a lever between shots indicates that she has more bullets in the gun.

Norbit (2007)

Correction: Incorrect. Upon multiple viewings I can confirm his mouth does absolutely move while he is saying this.

28th Feb 2007

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: Of course not, she's wearing it.

27th Mar 2007

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: The way they were when we saw them walking on the street yes. But when this happens the boys are in the alley. Since we haven't seen Sid or Eugene in the alley previously there's no mistake in where they're standing.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: No, it's auburn. Auburn hair has red highlights in it, so sometimes it looks red sometimes it looks brown.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: It's her dream, not real. Helga can change whatever she wants in two seconds in her dreams.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Correction: 5:45 was the time he was setting to wake up, not the actual time. When we see it on the desk we see the actual time.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Mud Bowl / Gerald Moves Out - S2-E9

Corrected entry: How did the fifth graders manage to forget how to score touchdowns, considering that they scored six or seven in the first half and none of Arnold's special plays were for when his team was on defense?

AidanN

Correction: They scored much more than that before Arnold's special plays were done. They got 42. They didn't score any when Arnold's special plays were done because they weren't used to them, and they were pretty tricky.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Mugged / Roughin' It - S1-E9

Corrected entry: At the end of the first training scene (when Arnold first tries to catch the fly), one of Arnold's feet has no toes; also, just before Arnold falls down the chimney, he has three arms.

AidanN

Correction: No he doesn't have three arms. You are either mistaking his foot when it pops up for a third arm or your mistaking his two arms for three when we see his arms move quickly and the cartoonist make it look a little like he has more than two arms to show his falling like they often do in cartoons.
