Corrected entry: At the end of the movie it shows a shell casing that has PMC on it. PMC wasn't an ammo company until 1968.

Clue (1985)
Corrected entry: In the third ending, why does Mr Green shoot Wadsworth? His boss and loads of the police were waiting just outside the door, they could have caught Wadsworth and arrested him. The whole purpose of having a 'plant' was to find out who Mr Boddy was and arrest him. Mr. Green actually took out his gun before Wadsworth goes to shoot him, so it can't just be self defence.
Correction: Mr. Green pulls out his gun to reveal he's FBI (law enforcement officers often draw their weapon before ordering a suspect to freeze, even unarmed ones, etc). Certainly he would take his gun out to order Wadsworth/Boddy to drop his gun. However, before Green gets the chance to reveal he's FBI we see Wadsworth/Boddy get ready to shoot. Mr. Green just happened to be faster.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Corrected entry: At the credits, the fictional character is mentioned: "Tuttle.........as himself" (00:25:05)

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)
Corrected entry: After shooting down the fighter, Katniss's arrow count in the following scene is correct; minus one red tipped explosive arrow. The next scene, however, shows her having both of them once again.
Correction: In the scene you're describing, she starts with 4 red-tipped arrows (not 2) and after firing one, the next shots for that scene shows she has 3 left.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)
Corrected entry: When Katniss is shooting the first propo on the sound stage, she has both her bow and her quiver. However the scene where Bee-Tee gives her the bow is later in the movie.
Correction: These are two different bows. As far as the quiver goes, you can see the arrows are not color coded and not the ones Beetee gives her. As for the bow, Beetee makes it clear he created a prop weapon for the propaganda film, but had also created a better bow for her, one that was not just a fashion accessory.

True Lies (1994)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, when Arnold is running down the snow covered hill with the guys chasing him on skis, he shoots at them with a semi-automatic. He changes magazines once, but I counted 24 shots after that change, and there was no shot of him changing magazines again, nor any chance to do so. There was no extended magazine on the gun, so about the most rounds he could have fired (being liberal) would have been 19 shots. (00:13:00)
Correction: At most he shoots 19 times, maybe 18, after reloading. But on top of that, when we do see him change magazines, it takes him less than 2.5 seconds (including pulling it out of his jacket) and there's a part of the action where he's off camera for 3 seconds.

Down to Earth (2001)
Corrected entry: When Lance Barton visits Sonte Jenkins at her house for the first time, King (the guy from heaven) shows up to tell Lance that he has found a new body for him. At one point during this scene they show the conversation through the butler's eyes. Through his eyes they show Lance talking to himself (actually talking to King) but if the butler was looking at anybody talking to himself it should have been the character of Charles Wellington talking to himself and not the character of Lance Barton - nobody can see Lance Barton, as he is dead.
Correction: A similar "mistake" has been submitted and corrected. It's just the audience who sees Barton talking to himself, not Cisco (the butler), just like it's the audience who hears Barton's voice on the answering machine. It's just a filming choice, like when he was doing stand-up and it switched between Barton and Wellington.

Robinson Crusoe On Mars (1964)
Corrected entry: Paul Mantee mentions that the orbiting spaceship has all that he needs to stay alive. If so, why did he and Adam West eject to land on Mars? They were worried about the craft's orbit decaying, but it stayed up all the time until Mantee exploded it. Someone's suggested it would decay faster if they stayed on, but orbital decay is due to atmospheric drag and not due to adding mass to the ship. Their mass is insignificant in relationship to the velocity of the ship.
Correction: They used up their remaining fuel to avoid a meteor, so the main concern is fear of another collision course without fuel to move out of the way.

The War of the Worlds (1953)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, a narrator explains why the Martians considered Earth the place to inhabit and not the other planets in our solar system. For some reason, he leaves out Venus.
Correction: The narrator never says "solar system" but that the Martians looked "across space", so leaving out Venus means nothing. After naming Mercury the narrator says "of all the worlds the Martians could see and study..." suggesting that more than just Venus was left off the list of worlds Martians looked at.
Correction: The narration also states that Uranus and Neptune are in eternal night - which is not correct. They receive sunlight just like all the planets. So they do have sunlit hemispheres. The narration was correct that they are ultra-cold worlds, though.

The Great White Hype (1996)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie when James "The Grim Reaper" Roper (Damon Wayons) is fighting his first opponent it seems as if the MGM Grand Arena is packed, but when Roper starts to pound his opponent in the corner you can see that there is nobody in the crowd above the man's head.
Correction: There's no indication the place was packed (in fact the point of the movie was they couldn't pay Roper because of low sales.) But we actually see plenty of people in the crowd and not empty seats, that is when the background isn't blacked out.

The Great White Hype (1996)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie when it has the close ups of the boxers fighting, you can see that they are hitting themselves in the face.
Correction: When they show the close up, we only see one boxer throwing punches as if the camera (and thus the audience) was the opponent. All you're seeing when Damon Wayans throws an uppercut is his body naturally moving with the force of the punch, not him reacting to being punched.

The Walking Dead (2010)
Corrected entry: When Rick, Glenn, and Herschel exit the bar under fire, they go directly out the back door of the bar and cross straight across a back room to an exterior door that would place it on the back of the building. However they amazingly come out on the side of the building.
Correction: In the beginning we see the bar's front door. Facing the front door, the pharmacy is to the right, as opposed to behind. So when the group exits straight through, they are in the back of the bar in the alleyway, next to the fence. If they had exited the side of the bar, they would be on the street.

The Walking Dead (2010)
Judge, Jury, Executioner - S2-E11
Corrected entry: Where did the zombie that attacks Dale come from? Dale is walking in a wide open field and there appears to be enough moonlight he can easily see the cow that has been attacked. Yet the zombie manages to sneak up on him? There was no long grass or crops for the zombie to hide or enough time to just appear from nowhere.
Correction: There's a pile of dead zombies that Dale walks past that the camera stays focused on for just a bit, as opposed to just panning by. Usually a foreshadowing shot.
21st Apr 2015
The Walking Dead (2010)
Beside the Dying Fire - S2-E13
Corrected entry: When Rick grabs Hersel to leave the overrun farm Hersel wears only a shirt and pants. In the next scene where they stop on the highway, Hersel wears a clean shirt and a jacket. (00:16:00 - 00:21:00)
Correction: Herschel is still wearing the same dirty shirt, he's only put on the jacket, which was in the truck. When the truck stops, you can see Herschel putting on the jacket in the rear-view mirror.

A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
Corrected entry: It's a beautifully staged bit of physical comedy but Otto pulls out his gun, flips it through the air past the airport metal detector and catches it on the other side ... in full view of dozens of customs and immigration officers and civilians in the queue behind him. Even back then the area would have been festooned with CCTV cameras. What, not one person saw someone carrying a large, powerful handgun through airport security?
Correction: First off, the statement is extremely exaggerated. All we see is a handful of passengers and one older lady monitoring the X-Ray. There are no dozens of officers in view. And, those who we do see would have had their view obstructed by the metal detector as he quickly tosses the gun (which is not really large and powerful) at waist level to his right. And being that they went to the last screening station on the far right, there wasn't anyone to his immediate right who would have seen this.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: When they're are in the stampede of dinosaurs, Udesky falls and Paul picks him up. If you look at the film, Udesky is always coming last. Paul is always about 10-20m in front, but he magically morphs behind Udesky somehow when he falls. You never see Paul Kirby fall down, so that is ruled out.
Correction: In the scene you seem to be describing (which is when the group is running from the raptors), we do see Udesky fall, but no one picks him up, he picks himself up. However, he was never always coming up last, he starts out ahead of other and even passes people. In all the other running from the dinosaur scenes before Udesky dies, he doesn't fall.

The Walking Dead (2010)
Corrected entry: When Rick closes the gate he realises that walkers could have got in, so he starts to run down the street in daylight. The scene changes then goes back to Rick - he's still running but it's pitch black.
Correction: There's no error and it's done to show passage of time. As you said, the scene changes. In fact it changes twice, once with the preacher and then the group meeting, before it goes back to Rick. Even though Rick is still running, he's in a completely different part of the town, as opposed to seeing him still run near the gate.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: After the crash Tea Leoni and the rest of the crew run and run and do some more running, and during all this they are all hitting mud puddles, creeks, dirt in general. When this is all over Tea's yellow shirt is still yellow and not black or a dark yellow - it looks as clean as it was when she was flying on the plane before the crash. Funny how everyone else looks semi-dirty though.
Correction: They weren't running through mud puddles and creeks, just tall grass and an open clearing. Some characters got dirty because they fell on the ground (some of the mud we kind of see is Dr. Grant crawling around felled trees). But, her shirt certainly is as dirty as other characters who didn't fall down.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Corrected entry: Nothing could be seen through the green liquid in the large glass tubes, so how come the Raptor's head could be seen so easily?
Correction: We can see through the green liquid (the first tube actually has a lot more green tint than the other tubes). But it's based on the angle you're looking at and the way light enters. It was hard to see through when the camera panned across the curves of the tubes or when the characters were far away from the tube, but the raptor was pressed up near the tube wall.

Correction: While Rango is meant to stylize old westerns, it's not set in the past. We see vending machines and modern cars. We even see what is meant to be a 1971 Impala, so 1968 already occurred in the film.
